These are the Pistons:
6/26 from three
43/59 from two

This isn’t gonna work against teams with interior defense, but it’s certainly different.

Second year player dude. Why so impatient? Growing pains. He had 13 assists tonight.

Go Nuggets! Ride!

That Denver court is a fricking eyesore. That's hard to look at.

Klay Thompson wants out of Dallas so bad. :lol:

He pointed to a fan with a Luka jersey at the home game against the Pelicans and told him "I miss that guy" and then played like this tonight

Nice that Dillingham and Beringer could get some extended garbage time minutes. Utah tank rolls on.

The usual Denver script, blows them out early, then opponents make a run to make the game look interesting enough, and then Jokic and co. will finish the job in the 4th.

Since Cam Johnson is struggling, I’d say let him initiate the offense and get his mind engaged. I didn’t expect him to have such an embarrassing start to the season.

I just can't get used to Buzzcut Braun. No taper or anything, just a straight buzz. Looks like a totally different dude from last season.

Giannis playing like a man possessed so far this season adding 40 15 9 tonight. I have to give the Bucks GM credit because I was skeptical of the moves in offseason but the roster looks good around him, especially if Rollins is for real

Russ 3 of 4 from 3pt land. That usually means he'll be excited and start forcing **** on offense which will lead to turnovers
