Surprise from tonight.

Utah smokes a full strength Clippers team by 21 behind 22-9-4-2-4 from Walker Kessler on 7/7 and 2/2 from 3.

Kessler started as a RotY candidate then he sucked then he came back. He'll be one of the best centers in the NBA. He was the only reason I questioned the Gobert trade.

This has to be the biggest surprise of the night…but then again it’s what Utah often does.

Yesterday when I watched HOU vs OKC game I wondered whether all teams without pure PG would struggle against OKC. HOU offense was awful.

Indiana stacked with a position of need for us.

OKC is the first team in NBA history to start the season with two consecutive double overtime games.

3 pacers fouled out. The way the refs call the Thunder speaks for itself. Any achievement they ever accomplish is tainted by this BS!

It isn’t even basketball at this point. It is just sports betting with an obvious bias.

People need to stop putting their faith in these old teams. Golden State si good but they are too old and too small. They were actually favored tonight and I think that's crazy, Denver will crush them.

GSW 23 Assists-5 TO, Denver 21-8.... this is where we have to improve a lot if we want to compete at Play-Off time.

If Denver's strategy all season is to have Gordon shoot 90% on 3-pointers, good luck to them.

I agree about too old and small, but I think Denver needs time to figure out how to play together. This game is far from a blowout.

I'm not complaining (other than maybe for fantasy basketball reasons), but why does Braun look short and fat this year?

Denver up 4 with 5 minutes to go behind a career game from Aaron Gordon. Not crushing, but winning.

Golden State is definitely battling. I'm still confident Denver will win but GS could take them here. In a series though I think it would be no contest, Denver is MUCH better IMO.

It took Gordon going 10-11 from 3 for Denver to take a 3 point lead with 25 seconds remaining. Curry with a 35 foot 3 to tie it up with 21 seconds to go. Denver can hold for last shot.

Joker misses, possibly fouled but no call. OT.
