Presumably the best player in the NBA would play like less of a Euro-bitch free-throw whore.

these west coast games are going to be my demise. made it to about halftime and had to bail. looks like I missed a hell of a finish and Curry classic. 

 

GS is good & well rounded. but again, theyre old. tonights game at portland is interesting with Portlands last 24 hrs and if theyll have the legs this early to play against portlands rabid young dogs.

what an absolutely incredible first three nights of the nba season.  from the return of the nba on nbc, to espn not fucking with inside the nba at all (yet at least), and some awesome fucking basketball games, it has just been a great start to the season (on the court).  the fucking thunder have played back to back double overtime nationally televised games to start the season.  unreal.

This Ajay MItchell cat looks legit.  More young talent - just what OKC needs.  

Second round draft pick and he looked really good last year until he got hurt.  NBA size and  can score from most anywhere.  Solid defender.  By the end of this season, he'll be good enough to be a staring PG on a good team.  Great pick up.

Watched 40 seconds of that.

#4-5 and 6-7, 8-9, minimally. 

NBA refs have decreed that sneezing on SGA is a foul. And, to his credit, he works it.

It's terrible basketball to watch. Besides just stopping the game and rewarding questionable offense (jumping into defenders on pump fakes, as one example), it alters how teams play the sport, and will play the sport moving forward if it continues.

Spot on. This is some 2006 Dwayne Wade bullshit on steroids. And so much of this doesn't show up on the stat sheet. Once these teams see how it's being called, they change the approach. And SGA gets easier paths and shots because the defense is playing softer because they know any little contact gets called. The way he seeks out contact and embellishes contact is terrible basketball.

And it goes beyond just him. Go watch the playoffs last year for OKC. They were allowed to play a completely different game vs their opponent. This allowed them to go on big runs, shoot higher percentages because they get easier looks. Denver was very close to going up 2-0 going back home but Scott Foster stepped in to tie that series. And they also gave him the assignment for game 7.

Aside from OKC fans, the overwhelming majority of fans have the same feelings on this OKC team. They are the product of NBA manufacturing. So many down play it until their own team has to face them in a playoff series and you see it day after day. I saw this in 2024 when Dallas played them round 2. Luckily, Luka and Kyrie were able to overcome the ref fuckery. But in 2025, it seemed it ramped up even more.

Well said.  Can't say I have anything to add.

Jokic jacking up 3’s in overtime with AG going 10-11 for 3 is definitely an approach. Stupid loss Nuggets.

Yeah, it was a bad loss.  Jok  was off last night, though (and so were Braun, Murray and Johnson).  And when he's off they usually lose. Hate to see them waste AG's career high.

GS is so old there's no chance they make it through the season healthy. Horford, Curry, Jimmy and Draymond all playing 30+ minutes a night isn't going to last.  And that assumes Jimmy decides he wants to keep playing there.
