Honestly? No issue whatsoever with Daniels reaction/response there.

He didn't go in and immediately throw hands, but he definitely let Claxton know it was bush league.

Eh, Daniels handled it well enough I think.

Yeah, in terms of reasonable responses, i'd be upset with the league if Daniels was fined. Claxton gets a fine, no suspension, probably deserved.

That was a hard foul, and everyone knew it.

Well it’s happened. The hype around Wemby reached the point now I have to root against him. Not his fault, just how these things go. He joins LeBron, Luka, the Heat Big 3, and the Lakers in the exclusive club. Only way out is a crash and redemption arc, like currently with Zion.

Its gotten really annoying. The Spurs didn’t even improve their win total from their previous season now suddenly they are a rising team…no.

Tales of Klay's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Denver about to snatch OKCs soul

Is it just me or is Wemby way too arrogant for someone that hasn’t accomplished a whole lot yet? Maybe all the hype has deluded him. Seems like he will have to take a ton of lumps and punches before realizes he is not a SG. Trying to put the ball on the floor at that size with decent but not great handles is not going to cut it because defenders can easily disrupt the dribble. He is also not going to be blowing by defenders. Probably too hard headed.

He needs to know he isnt KD or PB. He shouldnt be handling the ball outside the 3pt line unless its a fast break

With us owning Denvers pick this year, almost every in the NBA is relevant to us. I love it when its like this.

Nevermind, Denver sucks

TNT commentators on the OKC/DEN game talking about Paolo’s +42 +/- against Miami. P5 is making noise!

Yeah... Jingles should really retire. I think he was able to get a new contract because we were able to hide him last season with our defense.

I was wrong about the Thunder.

Hmmm Chet is having hinself a game despite being asked to defend Jokic.

Then again, its so nice to have a top5 player in the league to ake things easier for you lol

I mean... they were already really good (and young) and then added two really solid pieces... not sure how you thought they would get worse.

Chet will be gunning for MIP, Allstar + DPOY awards this year.

OKC is after Boston second best team in nba.

Impressive how much pressure Kyrie , Klay and Luka can put on whole defense. Playing defense vs Mavs probably feels like running marathon.

Like I said before the draft Chets gonna be a top 3 defender and top 10 impact player for the next decade.
Meanwhile in Houston Jabari still can't dribble and looks like a poor man's version of Keegan Murray.
