Thursday 10/23 NBA Game Thread

I could see Adelman winning coach of the year. Either him or the coach of Orlando.

Wish Rick wasn't called for that BS tech in 1st half, he called TO and they didn't award it, he has a right to be upset. Guess what, that pt made a difference.

Man, yeah, I almost forgot about that. What makes this tech even worse was that they gave OKC that timeout at the end of 2OT after the game had already started. That's gotta sting for Rick.

Just looked at the Denver/GS box score and saw that Jokic only played 17 mins in the first half and they were up by 9.

I had to do a double take.

[Twizlers]

Wait a second. I think that we all just witnessed history, y'all. With this last pair of FTs, OKC officially made more FTs (45) in tonight's game than buckets (43). Has that ever happened before?

We just witnessed a record that will be very hard to repeat.

$10 OKC breaks that record later this year.

What a gross record.

Gross or not, I really want to fact-check whether it's true or not. Google AI says that no NBA team has ever done that but who can trust AI these days?

As a rockets fan, I had to listen to harden slander for a decade, but somehow FTA is beloved for taking it to a new level of foul baiting.

Nah it is the same old song man. We all hate it but there are some very loud voices that defend it. You are just on the other side of it now.

And on the flip side, this Nuggets/Warriors game has only had 14 combined attempted FTs at the half. Guess which game has been more exciting NBA?

Yeah that is actually really sad.

I agree. I would like to know if it’s true or not, even if it’s a record I don’t particularly like.

[Mamba81p]

Warriors can really use someone like DFS. Someone with length, defense and shooting

Hey now, this is a “highlight-driven league”! Those FTAs don't matter. What matters is the score, the PPG, House Of Highlights and the youtube shorts

Heat were 34-75 from the field, but 43-52 from the line.

Thanks for finding that box score.

Having a legitimate backup center is such a surreal experience. I'm so not used to it.

Ah, thank you! So, I was right to not trust Google AI after all

It's wild that this has happened to us at least twice. Man, I remember that team too. These were the bubble playoffs, weren't they?

Say it with pride, Fam

Mile High Might !!

Denver had the best offseason IMO when looking at available assets vs moves made:

- Big Val
- Cam Johnson
- Brown
- THJ

Are all upgrades when compared to last year, give the Nuggets legitimate depth, and each addresses a weakness the team had last season.

[SlimShady83]

C'mon Warriors, make my day complete

[SlimShady83]

Yo Warriors, just imagaine you playing the Lakers
