Not the best shot. Good defense by okc

The play was for Sengun to take that shot? Dude literally overlooked KD lmaoo

I hope this game is the sign of what is to come this season.

Probably because he only played for 6 teams

I went to his bio to look before my original post (figured the fastest way) and it shows 7 jerseys. That's why I posted 7.

i know it's the regular season and it doesn't mean much but it sucks when you go get durant - give him an extension too - and he misses a clutch ft to basically win the game.

Nice ATO. Erratic shot.

Soon as I saw Sengun attempted that shot and fall down to the ground, I immediately thought OT here we go.

He's just SGA, MJ was explosive in his younger form, very deliberate in his older, but he didn't need as much shiftiness as SGA because he was much more explosive as an athlete and then older version, stronger, not the same game, SGA is his own type of guy.

Houston’s size is going to be entertaining basketball, but I question whether you can start one guy that can’t shoot (Amen) and one guy that won’t shoot (Adams) and still run an acceptable offense. Durant can iso some, and if Sengun’s range is real, it helps, but it’s still wonky.

I say this as a Pistons fan starting Ausar and Duren. It’s rough sometimes.

How TF was that not a foul on Dort?

They are not setting screen plays for KD. Shows how he hasn’t been integrated yet.

Kinda want the old NBC presentation back. This NBC seems more like ESPN

Why does the NBA Illuminati favor SGA so much? Why is he their chosen one, Fam?

I was trying to say they have the same ridiculous strengths offensively, not that they play the exact same style.

Win or lose. This has the foreshadowing of the finals

djsunyc · Post #499 » by **djsunyc** » Wed Oct 22, 2025 2:21 am

without a pg, capela is unplayable. houston has to get a pg - it's a long season and they need guys to play in their normal slots.

Durant come on

Who wins the big opening night games?
