Thursday 10/23 NBA Game Thread

He expects a call every time he initiates contact. It’s ridiculous.

Dude has 51 points but 22 ft attempts. Its unbelievable

now 26 free-throws, and also the Houston game was decided by KD fouling SGA at the end of the 2nd overtime...

To be fair, the Rockets were lucky the referees missed Durant calling a timeout at the end of the first overtime when they had none. But, Dort was allowed to grab and hold Durant on multiple late-game possessions with impunity.

26 free throw attempts is disgusting. Not even prime Jordan would be getting that many after attempts.


That's modern NBA though filled with gambling and prop betting.

I'm gonna need more consistency out of Mr. Holmgren on offense. J-Dub is not in the lineup. You should be giving 20-pieces every night. This is your 4th year as a pro and you have the talent for it.

Let’s see how the Nuggets can hold up during these non Jokic minutes. JVal’s first minutes

I'd say he's playing phenomenally for Jokic. The rest Jokic is going to have this year is insane. Won't make MVP numbers but who cares if your team is well rested for the playoffs.

So far he’s rock solid, understands spacing (basically roll when he is supposed to), solid passer from the mid post. If he can play a good 15-20 minutes and sometimes play with Jokic to counter a big lineup, it’s a huge acquisition for Denver

Which is why the Nuggets played hardball with him when he wanted out to go to Europe.

espn must have a full court view camera so why aren't they showing that replay?

That is my question.

[Jazz9]

SGA is so good but man can he be a chore to watch....

[Patches Perry]

55 ball for Shai. MVP doing MVP things.

Mitchell and Wiggins with awesome games. OKC is deep.

Gg Pacers fans. This team will still be very good this season.

[Wallace_Wallace]

Aaron Gordon is a flame thrower right now!

[The4thHorseman]

Gordon 4-4 from 3 so far

edit 5-5

[cjx]

Aaron Gordon shootin' dat thang, Fam !

[Mamba81p]

Warriors don't have an answer to Gordon and randle. It's their Achilles heel. Denver beat them last year without Jokic.
They didn't do anything to address this in the offseason

[OldSchoolNoBull]

6/6 for AG. I'm gonna need him to shrug at somebody.

[Nuntius]

Definitely miffed at that **** timeout call. It would have been a 2-point game.

Oh well. The defending champs getting the benefit of the doubt isn't new. I'm still proud of the way the team played through all this adversity. We really closed out the game playing a rookie second rounder out of Liberty because he was our only remaining guard, between all of our injuries and the fouling out. It is what i is.

This season is going to be full of adversity for the Pacers. We just have to push through.

[Wallace_Wallace]

Kuminga’s like, “Here Gordon have another 3 points.”

[RB34]

40 FTs is two games is wild. Awful.

[f4p]

As a rockets fan, I had to listen to harden slander for a decade, but somehow FTA is beloved for taking it to a new level of foul baiting.

[The4thHorseman]

Pure exaggeration by Gordon, was never touched

[Wallace_Wallace]

GORDON AND CURRY JUST SWITCHED SHOOTING HANDS!!!! He’s not missing!!

[BigGargamel]

wtf has gotten into Aaron Gordon. I like it.

SGA is beloved?
