  • Went to first game of season last night. Good times. Reed Sheppard seems kinda dumb. Holiday needs more minutes still. KD "off" night and still drilled 2 of the biggest shots As we all know..

  • Lulz  

  • Went tonight. Good to pull that one out...tough win.

Very shitty game that Durant bailed us out on. The offense is of course out of sorts without Allie.

Jabari played pretty well. Amen had his moments, but Ime pulled him very early in the 1st for poor defensive effort and he took a very bad shot in the closing minute.

DFS is still getting his legs under him, but I’ve been thoroughly unimpressed. Not sure he’s the guy to spell Durant, and I can’t see him closing games.

Y'all were trash from 3... again (Durant was part of the problem there, too)... and you won. You take those wins in the NBA in 2026.

Amen is a phenomenal player he just doesn't understand what the offense needs a lot of the time - and goes through stretches that are too long where he isn't scoring or diming. I think it will come around for him. Even when he misses I like when he gets in his bag and isos and tries to score from the midrange. He just needs to pick his spots better (if not more often) and figure out what the team needs and when. He had a couple really bad takes in like three possessions to end the 3Q that were suboptimal and had that brutal missed layup in crunch-time.

I don't know how many turnovers there were with guys misreading Durant and feeding him shitty passes but it was a lot. Assuming the rotation stays healthy you would hope that that improves as the season goes on.

Sheppard is still super raw but god damn is he talented and really smart on O. I kind of worry about his length on defense - he'll have to keep scrapping on that end to stay on the floor at times but he seems game.

Your superpower appears to be Adams and Sengun just beating the shit out of teams and everyone else doing the rest. Any win missing one of those guys or both is a good win.

Long season and we'll see what happens but y'all have been a blast to watch so far and I love seeing Durant on a team with an actual coach and roster. He seems happy.

Thank you for having me and apologies if I post too much in here but Durant is my favorite athlete of all-time. I try and keep it Kosher and let y'all do your thing.

Damn. Spurs need to step their game up. Unless we have something better that I haven't seen.

That '18 team is up there with the best teams that didn't win the title. Y'all would have smoked Cleveland.

I’m sure I speak for everybody when I say, all are welcome. Especially KD fans.

Amen is in his head a bit offensively. He started the year trying to be a traditional point guard and struggled with it. They have since lessened that responsibility but his confidence was shaken.

Thank fucking goodness. This video makes me wet and I was very dry since they stopped playing it.
