Saturday 12/2 NBA Game Thread

[Chuck Everett]

There is a lot of chippiness in the league this year. Last year was a legit down year for the league, but this early season seems to be making up for it.

MPJ/Murray combined 66m on the payroll. Nuggets are lucky if they both play more than half the season

Neither missed a playoff game last year? That's when it mattesr

Not something you can bank on. They both have pretty bad injury track records historically.

66m is ABSURD between the two. That 2020 run really inflated Murrays value.

It’s debatable whether Murray is worth what he’s being paid but MPJ is FOR SURE not worth what he’s being paid. Is there a worse contract in the league?

[Badlands]

That was a veteran move by LeBron to get the coach ejected.

Jokic played 38 minutes and was a +13 in those minutes...Denver loses by 6. Such a typical Nuggets game.

The Nuggets played a pretty good game overall after a second night of a b2b, 5 games in 7 nights while the King had 3 days rest coming into this game.

No Jamal Murray and they still could've won it.

King played an electrifying game and they had to earn the win.

Im still looking at murray/MPJ's statline

We know jokic is gonna get his numbers.

I swear DLo has been genuinely good this season. Best A-TO of his career, flirting with 50-40-80, seems to be their best shooter, great playmaking, idk. I know he's a minus defensively but I don't know what else you could ask from him (for his skillset). He's playing about the best basketball that he can.

And he actually suits up for games (something thats becoming more uncommon now)

Kayte Christensen is insufferable

Some of my favorite gems from her this year:

“You know if the Kings want to win this game they’ll need to start scoring.”

“The Kings lost because the other team scored more.”

“This was a great game for the Kings” - in a game where we lost by 30.

Watching the game silent is more exciting than listening to her

Especially with Mark Davis who speaks in cliches and song lyrics. What a duo!

Sounds just like Kate Winge and Chris Marlowe for denver too

Houston is going to be 0-8 on the road after this one, but if you ask me (and you didn't), the NBA has done them no favors by having the fewest games in the league. Some teams have played 3-4 more games. I still don't have a good feel for their squad yet. I'd like to see them go on an East Coast road trip. So many games against Warriors, Lakers, and Nuggets already.

It's cause they had a 7 game homestead

[Slim Tubby]

Mark Williams just filed for early retirement. Rudy, KAT and Naz combined for 77 points, 24 rebounds, 4 blocks, shot 62% FG and 50% 3FG. I'd say the big man experiment is working just fine so far, especially defensively.

MPJ still chillin with 10 points

MPJ been stealing money for years now.

Klay Thompson probably.

I agree 100%

Personally I would have shipped Murray out already if I was denver GM.

You say this after he contributed to a title winning team. No offense, but that's what these organizations are playing for. We don't know if they will win more, but at the end of the day, Denver chipped with him in the starting lineup.
