Thursday 10/23 NBA Game Thread 

Post#1 » by bisme37 » Thu Oct 23, 2025 3:38 pm

Is it a 2 game Thursday on ESPN? You bet!

- IND and DEN begin their seasons on a night featuring 3 of the last 4 NBA champs
- Pascal and the Pacers host SGA and the Thunder in Finals rematch
- Jokic and the Nuggets head to the Bay, battle Steph and the Warriors
- Enjoy!

NBA saved the main event for the very end. Nuggets the last team to play a game. Let's go!

I'm picking both teams that haven't played yet. Pacers for the upset and Nuggets on the road.

Hali is still out and will be out all year. Turner signed with the Bucks in the off season. So dumb of the NBA to sched and promote this as if its a rematch of the Finals. This iteration of INDY tonight is not the same team from the Finals.

if nemhard shoots 29% from 3 again this year, the pacers are going to have a tough time making the play-in. unless mathurin levels up to all star level.
