What a horrible call to give Chet that and 1

Missing CB’s defense out there.

Kings offense movement/shot quality looks really good so far. T-Wolves, not so much.

That was Wallace, not Joe but I don’t expect espn announcers to actually know the players on the court.

Chet spends more time on the floor than anyone I've seen. He can't handle any physicality at all

So far this is shaping up to be the best game I have seen so far all season (8th or so, games are in a very friendly time zone in Australia:) )

Hope Nugz and Thunder goes to O/T , just exquisite hoops so far from two legit contenders

Sorry man, the Westbrook experience is not going to be good. I don't care how the Nuggets try to spin it. Insane to have watched him for the last 3 seasons and think it will end better.

Westbrook... sigh...

That replay of Chet getting bodied with zero effort by Jokic is a tough look haha

So Hartenstein is going to debut in December. Man I can wait.
-looks up the schedule for Denver games - Nov. 6 and March. No way he makes it in time for early Nov game. Damn Hartenstein wont' see Nuggets till March! That's way too long to wait and see what WCF would look like.

If Russ is a vital part of your team in any way (starter, bench, etc).

You’re simply not winning a championship. Period

Right on cue, Russ with B2B blunders: airballs and open 3, tips a ball out of a bounds on an easy defensive rebound lol.

Just tossed him aside like he's a blown-up doll.

What is Joe Ingles doing? He can't defend Malik Monk. Come on Chris Finch, play the younger guys.

Dennis Reynolds · Post #236 » by **Dennis Reynolds** » Fri Oct 25, 2024 2:38 am

It's incredible how bad Westbrook is. Even when he makes a play in transition cause the opposing team is too lazy to get back or he makes a fluke jump shot you know it's not gonna last. And that's just when he has the ball, he's even worse without it.

___Rand___ · Post #237 » by **___Rand___** » Fri Oct 25, 2024 2:38 am

So hard to watch multiple games at the same time.

Wolves are in shambles.

Chuck Everett · Post #239 » by **Chuck Everett** » Fri Oct 25, 2024 2:40 am

Wolves might need to give Luka Garza some minutes at the backup 5. Naz Reid can't play the 5 long-term even off the bench. He's just too bad defensively on the backline.

He no longer plays defense. Not watching the Minny game but that dude is a traffic cone on defense at this point. He literally starts walking back to play offense even before the opponent scores if they blow by him. It was infuriating to watch all last season with the magic. The dude can still pass and shoot though so he had some impactful minutes with the team defense cleaning up his crap.

Who wins?
