  • 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..

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

Amen has to stop getting stuck ball watching at the 3pt line in the half court offense. Multiple times he was camped at the 3pt line watching the ball instead of moving/cutting. Those kick out to him were dead ends and what the defense wanted.

Cool upcoming schedule....@Denver as added game.....@ New Orleans.....then @ Denver smh.   Then 3 more away games.  I guess at least the last two are both in LA so they will be there awhile.

I felt like Durant was pushing the young guys last night to win it/close it out. A lot of plays where he could have pulled up or isoed but he kept setting up Sengun and/or moving the ball. 

Durant knows he can close that game for them - think he wanted to see Sengun and Amen do it - and they did. Eventually, at least.

They’re going to full on blow Amazon and the networks for quality games. Not surprised. 
 

The Pels will need a crazy game from Queen to keep it close, but we are 1000% losing the back to back in Denver. Scheduled losses are a fact of life in the NBA.

I’m OK with how the game went last night. I expected a 40 burger from Harden. That would have sunk us. Thank goodness Treasures is open until 4am and Ty Lue has no balls to police that shit.

I didn’t see Zubs beating our ass like a drum and the Clippers playing with max effort on defense all game. I think the team maybe wanted to win one for Harden. I’d still be nervous as shit about the OKC getting their 2026 pick. Kawhi is one bad mental health week away from shutting it down. Harden can ball out all he wants, but he can’t save them from the lottery.

I think Ime will definitely want a vet to provide some leadership for the young guys.  Durant is more of a by example guy.

You could probably tell me into a knock down shooter who plays decent defense with good handles. Needs to be a taller combo guard. At least 6’4’’. 

#1020

Y'all need Durant on the floor. 

Also - let that Sheppard kid shoot, Holy fuck.

Okogie looks like shit tonight. A walking turnover. 

He's not a playoff rotation guy I told y'all that in September. 

#1024

Y'all getting fucked by the refs.

That's a shooting foul on Jok. Clear as day.

His handles in transition are G League below average.

Yeah it seems a bit unbalanced, they aren't calling much on the Denver D, and yet the Rockets still have a lot more FTs than them.  Sengun just doesn't get that much respect around the basket, but he acts like he's Luka. Big guys, for whatever reason, are expected to take a beating in the paint and not get calls, seems like a league-wide issue though. 

#1028

Need to move the ball and open the floor up - especially in transition. 

Denver is content to keep you in the half-court game and attack when they turn you over. 

This could be a big 2H for Sheppard. 

Big KD dose could help, too.

Eason in street clothes. Shaking my head.

Yeah, I’d be fine with letting the glass menagerie walk, and using the boat load of savings to sign Grimes.  

If you trade Sengun I'm driving down there and lighting someone's office on fire

He just won you a massive fucking flagrant foul by being a vet gamer.

How was that an off-ball foul on a switch???  Guys brush each other all the time on that. 

That was trash.

You misread me. Not doubting or disparaging KD’s leadership at all. Just think a second voice on the floor would help him (what FVV would have been)
