    It's still a funny nickname.

    The Thunder aren't that impressive because of their offense. I don't see how Chet and Caruso will help that end much.

    It's worse than the free throws. Getting into the penalty early is also part of it. Another part is the fouls the refs let go. Davis smacked a Spur twice the other night to get a clean shot. No foul. The refs apparently wanted the Lakers to win that game and even this game from the start. The difference was that the Spurs gave up, and the Thunder did not. You'll see when they play the Rockets.

    Pretty nice seeing some new teams near the top of the standings so far this year.

    Cavs, Orlando, Rockets, Grizz, and even the Spurs are 2 above .500.

    Grizz was a good team 2 years ago, they just had the whole Ja Morant pulling a fake pistol (who knows) and the whole injury saga.

    Dillon Brooks left because they had that 1 gap year.

    Halfway through I thought "There's no way this keeps going", but it did. Painful. Jokic is the only non-Rockets player I bother to watch anymore because he at least reminds me that basketball can be beutiful and creative.

    People say this. . . but honestly . .. they never REALLY watched 80s basketball
    It was literally the EXACT SAME THING except 10 feet in

    Mid Range CLANK!!!
    Rebound
    CLANK!!!
    Other way
    CLANK
    Rebound
    Long two CLANK
    Dunk!
    Mid Range jumper in
    inbound
    Mid Range CLANK!!!
    Rebound
    CLANK!!!
    Other way

    Watching old games was fun until multiple 2~4 minutes scoring doughts
    for the whole game (both teams)

    People just need to admit to themselves that they have a lot more options to choose from now-a-days or that they just aren't the fans they use to be. It's okay, we all change.

    That is all it really is.
    One more thing. . . . HIGH LIGHT CULTURE
    Threes are just not sexy and exciting anymore unless they are from midcourt

    People begging for midrange are also the same people that told us Rip Hamilton/Demarr Derozen are a boring players
    People want a "tougher" game until the NO LAYUPS rule goes into effect

    People generally don't know what they want . . .other than NBA 2K
