The minute the Spurs play defense against GSW, especially Curry, a foul gets called. Hey NBA/Vegas, can you try to hide the fixing of these games a little better before you completely turn it into the WWE?

I just tuned in to the Warriors game, but it looks like Draymond Green did a good job defending Wemby tonight.

So did Scott Foster and his crew.

And Sarr's basically the better version of Chetneck. With Temu Slemby upside. So good.

Starting to remind me of RW tbh

And the TO bug seems to move around on that team. Once they learn how to defend 1-5, they’ll get to the next level

OKC absolutely dogwalking the Fakers.

I'm starting to notice a nightly pattern.

He's impressing me lately. If he can keep his fouling in check he's going to be an integral part of their system going forward. I think Vassell may be the odd man out, or perhaps they can slide him to SF if they can unload Barnes.

Nice backpedal after you said he was a rental......bam!

OKC is a juggernaut -- might as well crown them champs now?

Are the Hawks better without Trae?

RKH916 · 11-13-2025, 12:19 AM

Jokic going god mode

44 points (14-19, 5-6 threes), 10, 5 with 5 minutes left in the third quarter

Just a typical night for Joker

I've actually been wondering this myself. It certainly feels that way. It still might be too early to tell.

The Bucks sat Giannis to save him for Friday and they lost (I had a feeling).

The Warriors really needed this win. Curry was due for a huge night. I didn't watch this game but there is some grumbling about officiating.

The Cavs were completely out coached Monday night. They played better tonight.

The Lakers are still very matchup contingent. They match up HORRIBLY against OKC.

Memphis has become a dumpster fire

Barring an SGA injury, who's going to challenge them in a 7 game series? I guess Denver's the most intriguing atm. San Antonio in another year or two...

ninjacookies · 11-13-2025, 12:58 AM

Clippers continue to be the most mediocre preseason hype machine in the biz. Even with Kawhi they're so bad. Now they have Collins in the starting lineup looking completely lost. Time to blow it up.

Zubac looked like he didn't even want to be there

The Clips need to blow that team up.

Yeah that was a head-scratcher. +20 on FTs. Curry had 16 FTA to match...the entire Spurs team

Negated a TWO triple-double night. They play again at home which probably adds to the side-eye. But honestly, Wemby has to reign in the TOs.

Curry is definitely benefitting from the new rules on fouling after players release the ball.

True and that's probably the factor to explain seeing a team launch almost 60 3s and still get 36 FTs. And seeing the Spurs have a 50 to 22 points in the paint advantage but can't seem to buy a whistle.

Again, I think it was set up to be a split with the cup game on Friday. Hate to say it but worse to feel it

If the Cavs could ever get healthy long enough to figure out how to make all the pieces work they'd be the 2nd best team in the NBA. They won last night while sitting Mitchell, Mobley, Garland, Strus, and Tyson:

-Mitchell's putting up 30 a night so far this year
-When Mitchell and Mobley sat out, Allen put up 30
-When Mitchell and Allen sat out, Mobley put up 29
-Garland's an all star when he's healthy
-Hunter is averaging 19 a night
-Merill and Tyson are shooting a combined 45% from 3 on 13 attempts per night
-Lonzo's leading the team in assists from 23 mins per game on the bench

The pieces are there to be a team that could take advantage of any team's defense (in the East anyways.... not sure if OKC has any weaknesses). But Kenny's going to need to figure out how to do it.

Tyronn Lue post game comments on Jokic are hilarious:

'Our game plan was to make him score and just take everybody else out of the game... I didn’t think he would score 55.'

That may be one of the most ridiculous plans I have heard in a long while.

Yeah Allen was huge last night. They needed it after that head scratching loss Monday. This is their year to break through the east, but they just can't seem to get everybody healthy at the same time.

Garland has played like 2-3 games. Spida and Mobley have been in and out of the lineup. I still have no idea when Strus makes his season debut. This team just teases you with what it can do with all of its parts; it's just never viable. Its crazy.
