Nunn has the most points in the first 5 games of his career since Kevin Durant. :shock:

Wasn't too impressed with the Bucks, who blew a 19 pt lead to BOS the other day.

Not surprised the injury bug finally caught up with GSW. Been saying that will happen for awhile now on this board. War of attrition.

I knew Steve would break this season but I didn't think it would happen pretty much immediately.

This Luka/LeBron matchup has been fun. Not a ton of defense, but some great passes.

I didn't watch the game. Were the announcers slobbering all over Dwight and his 4 points saying he is a changed man? Guy should not be in the league.

That was a really fun early season game. Glad I stayed up for it. Both guys really balled out.

Well he wears #55 which reminds me of Jason Williams, so that's a good start.

This team is just so much fun to watch on both ends of the court. Bam is a beast defensively and everybody plays with so much energy, lots of blocks and steals. And then they're playing with so much pace and every night it seems like it's a different guy's turn to drop 20 out of nowhere. This road trip will be tough and will probably bring me down to earth a little bit, but this team looks DEEP right now. #1 net rating in the league at the moment. (I prefer to ignore that the Suns are 3rd otherwise I have to admit small samples, etc.) But whatever, I'm actually optimistic and have enjoyed watching October/November basketball.

I wish I could say the same about the Bulls. They are hot trash. The only bright spot has been Wendell Carter Jr.

The Jazz/Clippers 4th quarter was almost unwatchable due to the sheer number of ticky tack fouls being called last night.
