Denver wins. Fuck GS. - Is anyone else happy for KAT so far this season? I ragged on him with everyone else for forever - the soft label, shitty in the playoffs etc. - but really thought he turned a corner last season and started giving a shit in ways that he hadn't previously. Then he got kind of wronged being shipped away and so far has done nothing but ball the fuck out - despite NYK being very pedestrian out of the gate. They've looked damn good over the past few weeks. It's the type of story I like in the NBA and I think has made him very easy to root for. Doesn't hurt that the Knicks have been God awful for 50 years.

You're right. I'm checking names off the list. Can't believe Buford hasn't offered me the GM job yet.

Sick 3 from Strawther to end the 3Q. DEN 91-85 GSW.

Keldon this season is posting 44/30/75 shooting splits. It is completely unserious for a franchise in 2024 that is trying to win basketball games to give a guy like that 26 minutes and 10 FGA per game. We aren't the fucking Wizards.

Worst loss of the season. I wish we could move on from KJ but the FO won't do it and no one would want him anyway. Feel like we should have shipped him a year or two ago. Then again we were giving Malaki Branham minutes up until 4 games ago. Still a lot to like with these guys but tonight was not it. It's going to start and end with Wemby and he was bad again. But I mean fuck me all we had to do was hit 30% from 3 tonight. Glad to get Sochan back. Christ I just realized Nurkic didn't even play either.

Read the fucking room KJ. How on earth do you think that that is a good shot? If we ever make the playoffs I'm not sure how you go into a series trying to win while giving that dude 20-30 minutes.

We are fucking 3 of 30 from 3.

Thank you Jeremy. C'mon guys don't blow this. Just go take it - it's there.

I'm not sure anyone has played more minutes for the Spurs than KJ with less BBIQ. Like in the history of the franchise. I mean holy shit he almost without fail does something mind-numbingly stupid multiple times per game. Outside of that - nice rotational player.

They're a completely different team without Durant. That's 80% of it right there. But I'll take it. Phoenix wasn't going to stay healthy all season.

Our announcers are aware that KD appears to be done for the night, correct? Kind of a big note to open this half. Although maybe Johnson really did give a killer locker room speech. We should win this with no Durant.

My bad. That's a disingenuous comparison even if ASU played them a lot better. ASU got them at home in August - Boise went on the road to Laramie in November. BSU has played a slightly worse schedule than ASU and ISU and has 1 loss instead of 2. Another win over UNLV wouldn't be a bad data point. There is zero reason the B12 winner should jump BSU if they finish 12-1. I don't really care either way, just think it would make 0 sense last minute to make that change. I don't really rate BSU or Indiana but I don't rate the B12 either. Just give me the team with the best record in scenarios like that.

But they beat Georgia! Who (checks notes) almost lost to Kentucky and Georgia Tech.

I kind of worry that 82 games is a bit much for Wemby's frame. Seems like he has some consistency issues and doesn't really bring it night in and night out. Really it's the only thing keeping him from being a top 5 player. Maybe (hopefully) it's just a mental thing. He has done this twice against LA and now against PHO in another marquee matchup.

Jesus KD.
