It's the G-league kids from this year's draft. We all knew about Shed from Houston. Battle, Mogbo and Carton have been eye-openers. We haven't seen the 1st round pick play yet!

Murray got healthy and it paid off with a ring but I'll always wonder what if Denver made a play for Kyrie when his value was low and would they have had a longer extended ceiling. Peak Murray is good but he's not Kyrie. I think a Kyrie/Jokic duo would've been terrifying

Pacers and Nuggets both off to start the season

Wemby is still a work in progress offensively

How many 3 FT plays is Dame gonna get. This is lame

Seriously NBA, let the Wizards retain some salary so we can add Kuzma to our bench. You know you want to. If he bought into the culture, Kuz could backfill some of that frontcourt playmaking we lost.

Dame Lilliard is a talentless disgrace.

Total hack

Tauren Prince in the Starting Lineup is Still Unbelievable to me.

Playoff Murray was as good as peak Kyrie honestly.

I'd have chosen Murray over Kyrie because of Kyrie's odd behaviour on Celtics and Nets. Kyrie really turned it around on Dallas.

They seriously miss their depth like a mf lol...KCP, Brown, Green. The young guys just haven't been able to make up for those losses.

Shows how critical good rotation players are in differentiating the truly elite teams.

So Saric has only played 5 minutes tonight. It's game 3 and the Nuggets are already down to an 8 man rotation. Sorry, but the coach has to give his bench some run regardless of how trash you think they may be. NBA players don't get better from the bench. They need run.

Hey I agree with you!

Especially young players...they need time to figure things out.

I don't agree with Malone's approach, clearly he trusted all those vets a lot more which is obviously understandable because those guys all already knew their roles, understood the NBA as a whole at a higher level from experience etc. But I'm just saying that seems to be the most noticable reason why DEN struggles...they just can't rely on their depth AND I also think without some reliable rotation pieces, MP Jr in particular is not getting the clean looks he was accustomed to which ofc is also making Murray be guarded more tightly. It's just a bad trickle down effect.

It's tough because Malone wants to learn on his vets to get try and get off to a decent start to the season but I'm not sure MP Jr or Murray are as effective without that increased depth. They can still obviously win this game but unless they can find ways to get more out of Watson, Braun etc or make some trades, DEN doesn't look like they have it in them to make another championship run.

50 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 blocks and a steal for "all-NBA" Paolo.

Finally Tatum. Welcome back

I’m surprised that Paolo or Haliburton didn’t get a triple double.

Chuck Everett · Post #217 » by **Chuck Everett** » Tue Oct 29, 2024 1:46 am

Agbaji looks like a totally different player this year.

CelticSooner · Post #218 » by **CelticSooner** » Tue Oct 29, 2024 1:47 am

You don’t want to be in a close game with Tony Brothers officiating. He’s an umpire with no strike zone.

doogie_hauser · Post #219 » by **doogie_hauser** » Tue Oct 29, 2024 1:48 am

Jrue has helped close out the Bucks.

He is definitely appreciated at Boston

The way Dame is being reffed in this game is a disgrace.

Who wins?
