Still too early in the season, but the Nuggets are 1st in offensive efficiency and 5th in defensive efficiency. Could easily be undefeated, too.

The management getting rid of Malone and Booth was one of their best moves.

Man, Clippers have been a big disappointment, they need to wake up fast.
Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

Clippers will be same old Clippers.
I will say they should blow it up, but what for?
They will be this bad again in the near future,

This is some bull. James Harden gets away with jumping into people to initiate contact ALL THE DAMNED TIME. Booker got hit in the head and somehow HE gets called for an offensive foul?

Horrible call. Dude is on his back and his not allowed to extend his arm after the guy is riding him to protect himself.

Just another prime example of why fans don't trust officials. Hugely questionable calls and no means of recourse for having them reviewed. Speak ill of the officials? FINED.

I hate to say it but what was ESPN thinking putting this game on a very late Saturday night? Looking at the box score, this Suns Clips game looks like rubbish

LOL at the basket and the celebtation.
Harden needs to quit the 35 footers when his team is in dire need to score.
Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

Hunter crossing Giddey up so badly that Giddey limped back to the locker room is one of the nastiest shakes I've ever seen
Rest in peace Kobe & Gianna

I was thinking the same thing about being undefeated. The start of this season compared to last is night and day. Last year they would have lost to a team similar to Indiana or Jokic would have had to play 44 mins and go 40/15/11 for them to barely squeeze by.

Now they are waxing the teams they are supposed to with Jokic only playing 31 mins.

Winners 5/8
Raptors: Ingram 21pts 6rbs lost
Lakers: Luka 29pts 11rbs 12asts lost
Cavs: Mitchell 34pts 5asts won
Spurs: Wemby 23pts 11rbs 4asts 4blks won
Clips: Zubac 19pts 12rbs lost
Mavs: Flagg 19pts 7rbs won
Heat: Powell 22pts 5rbs 4asts Won
Nuggets: Jokic 24pts 13rbs 14asts Won

Biggest surprise of the night:
Pacers will keep it close for most of the game until the Nuggets take control in the 4th quarter.

Over optimistic for my team but I'm a ride or die type of guy.

Kawhi's going into his 6th season with LAC and he's only played in 43% of those games.

Remember I said King Joker would dish out 18 assists against the Pacers, Fam, and he dished out 14 assists :D

7th season, he missed a whole season in 21-22, so if we add that's it's likely less, but I get not adding that
