Thunder doing this without Harteinstein. Can’t wait to play Boston. Many have Denver winning the west too!

I don't think we can afford to play Watson. The shooting is just too abysmal.

DiVencenzo told the ref to move. He's on the court.

Joker should request a trade. His career is coming to a halt in Denver. They’re stuck with a subpar second option and you can’t win if your section option isn’t even capable of being an All Star.

If this version of Holmgren is what OKC is getting, size their rings.

According to RGM he's more likely to retire and raise ponies than ask out of Denver

Denver management have taken advantage of Jokic’s temperament. He won’t cry about it and they know it.

Nuggets really need to shake up the roster before the trade deadline

Are we sure that Murray is worth $50+ million a year?

they gave him a 4/208 deal, but didn't have ANY money for a bench or the 5th starter.

This Thunder team is so likeable, they could easily pan out to be my second favorite team. I'm predicted they would go to the finals and if they make it further than Denver (which is most likely to happen), I'm easily backing them.

He is rusty. He is coming from a hamstring injury hasn’t played all preseason. Give me a break

What's insane about this is OKC probably has enough assets to trade for Jokic and not lose Chet or Shai

Nah felt like that last year. This game is just a regular for SGA. That play where Gordon threw it in the back court and everyone on Denver was ball watching while SGA chased it down and went in for the lay up just shows what separates him for a lot of other stars in the league.
