Season starts tonight with Knicks and Celtics followed by Lakers and TWolves.

Will history be made early in the 2nd game?

No issue for me. Jokic is a top 10 player of all time, he deserves a 2nd title at some point. Hard to win another one without literally any bench though.

Williams nailed that corner 3 with a minute and change left. That was big.

Jokic goes 44-15-5 on 17/25 shooting and they still lose. Says it all about the difference of these teams.

The kind of shot OKC has been missing the past few years. Teams are gonna double SGA down the stretch and the others have to make those to win a title.

Like I said a few posts above when I saw they were down by 10 I was furious and had to fix it.

Well OKC is a better team. There wasn't any question about that. Denver is getting nothin from Porter Jr and that's really killed them. He had a good game 3 otherwise he's been terrible.

They miss having KCP from the title team. It allowed them some wiggle room if MPJ was off like this. They unfortunately can’t play Westbrook down the stretch of games no matter what.

KCP is certainly more useful on the Nuggets than he was on Orlando. Let me tell ya. Dude was pretty good defensively but on offense he was a big fat 0 most nights. He could not shoot a basketball wearing a Magic jersey. Maybe that's just a virus affecting their whole team...

Porter Jr is a two dimensional player. He can shoot. He can rebound. He cannot really do anything else. Awful playmaker. Below avg defender. Bad bball IQ.

Gordon, Braun, Westbrook, Murray. Basketball players.

Jokic, Murray, and Gordon are the team. They need better guys around them.

Braun is an excellent two-way player, he’s no issue at all. Was their 3rd most valuable player this season.
