If this early quarter is any sign, a Denver v OKC play-off series would be amazing. Liking Denver's energy early.

that's why they overpaid Hartenstein. OKC is well aware.

Sabonis actually took a three from the top of the key. That shot should be there all year for him.

Chet is getting manhandled, there's like a 80 lb weight advantage here.

With Hartenstein out for 6 weeks, Chet's going to be asked to do a lot on both ends. Could end up getting worn down.

Joker was clearly fouled driving in for the lay up, yet no call.

I can totally understand why Denver fans get pissed at the refs. Just because he is a big boy doesn't mean Joker should has to constantly cop being hacked/fouled without the opposing player not being penalised

Yeah Keegan is probably going to get all the premier defensive wing assignments with this starting group. We saw it last year too with him getting the assignment against guys like Steph, Spida, etc.
