Thursday 10/23 NBA Game Thread

Myles defense is excellent. His post defense is his weak point..

He is good rim protector and a solid defender in space.

At least try to not be a homer.

Eh. disagree. He's a good defender, not excellent. Excellent isn't a word I'd use for Turner.

Now you walk your statement back

Turner's impact isn't all that great. He isn't a post player. He isn't paint protector. Yes he's a stretch 5. That's his only value.

Stay consistent

I haven't. He's servicable, but he isn't the rim protector to earn that moniker. How many games I've watched where we get to the rim with Turner down low. I just don't respect his ability there and neither do other teams. He can move his feet enough to be servicable in a defensive scheme. He's a bit better than a cone and he's tall that's about it.

Obiiiiiiiiii

[djsunyc]

i don't think dort is on okc next season. he has a team option next year then expires. dont think they will pay him unless they win the chip again this year.

[Wallace_Wallace]

I want to watch Jokic and Curry’s wizardry, not a free throw shooting contest from OKC/IND

[Twizlers]

Warriors jump out to a 10-0 lead over the Nuggets to start things off.
Nuggets go on their own run and tied it up 10-10.

What is going on?

[Baseline81]

Too soon I know but these first two games I haven’t seen that edge OKC played with previously. Defense lacking

As long as SGA continues to shoot 19 FT a game, OKC will be fine...

[cjx]

OKC will get every team's best shot, the OT games will wear them down, they'll end up a 7th seed, Fam

2 Nuggets 7 Thunder 1st round. Thunder in 6.

Or Nuggets 1 seed, so the 1st round match-up is 7 Thunder vs 2 Spurs

[Dubnation]

Dudes still jump at SGA. So much for IQ.

[___Rand___]

Dort is good at getting away with contact.

[OldSchoolNoBull]

Mathurin is a #6 pick at the end of his rookie deal - this would be an ideal time, both for his team and his own future finances, to make the jump. Siakam and him will have to lead this team in Hali's absence. I like Nembhard and Nesmith, but they're supporting guys, imo. So if you're a Pacers fan, you gotta hope Mathurin keeps playing like this.

[davidv2001]

Dort fouled Siakam multiple times on that possession.

[Castle Black]

Dort literally mauling guys and getting away with it, but if you so much as look at SGA the wrong way, he’s at the line shooting FT’s. Laughable.

[greekman]

his name is MALTHURIN

[___Rand___]

I think someone got a hand on Mathurin's shot.

[Mk0]

Mitchell gets that call but Pascal gets mugged by Dort and no call on the other end. Can we be consistent?

[EmpireFalls]

Mitchell is an unbelievable find at 37th overall. What a player

[The4thHorseman]

Smooth Siakam on that shot

[ArksNetsSince99]

This goes into second overtime , we not gonna watch the Nuggets tonight

[Indomitable]

Pascal doesn't have the same conditioning he usually does. But he is getting older, so his trainers may have him on a slower ramp up for the long season.

he's played 34 mins, has 27 and 14 and just hit the game tying shot. what are you talking about conditioning?

He is just talking. Made they gave him up for Bruce Brown.

[Wallace_Wallace]

Gordon is a sniper!!!
