Oh absolutely lol. The reason guys like Giannis, KD, and Ingram can handle the way they do is because they’re basically carrying. It’s even spread to the women’s game. Sabrina Ionescu carries all the time.

The Nuggets are not the worst basketball team I've ever seen, but they are very, very, very close.

Edwards is having a bad night. Just letting guys blow right by him. Rudy isn't out there, guard your man dude.

I'd buy all the Thunder stock if they were a startup.

The only reason us Magic fans support the beatdown of DEN is becausr we own their FRP this draft. Otherwise... yikes

I really like and respect Mike Malone as coach, one of the very best in the business, but he definitely needs to calm down, seems like every 2nd or 3rd game he cops a technical foul.

I hope people don't pretend this game didn't happen when MVP voting comes around.

OKC went 3-1 against the nuggets last year with an SGA game winner @ denver and it was never brought up in MVP talks

I swear it's where most player improvement happens. It's like a lightbulb goes off and young guys figure out that they're not going to get called for it (and the triple step-back) so now they have new tools in the bag :lol:

Nuggets are going to finish no better than 5th in the conference. West is too tough to have no bench. Wouldn't shock me to see them in the play-in (7th).
