'Twas a kind gesture by the Fakers letting the Denverites have an opening day freebie.

Much humbleness. Such humanitarianism.

2 minutes into the game and Nurkic already doing everything Phoenix wished Ayton would do lol

I mean, he took 12 shots in 1st half...maybe the cut did hurt his shooting, maybe he knew he was having an off night after starting 0/5 in 2nd half...who knows

He did pick up his rebounding and a handful of assists so there's that

CP actually seems like a decent fit on this squad. Allows Steph to really open up the defense with his off-ball movement.

If he's able to contribute anything scoring wise, this game would be a blowout.

Suns defense still blows and will be utterly exposed as the season progresses.

I didn't even know it was the first day of the regular season. Diamondbacks stole the headlines.

Nurk getting flambeed by an aging fossil off the dribble.

It's almost like 'Dre never left.

GS starters combine for 36% from the field. And are about to lose by single digits.

Wild.

yep. Klay, Wiggins, and CP3 combined to go 3-20 from distance and they lost by 4.

Get Okogie some help

With their win tonight over the Lakers the Nuggets have become the only team in the league with a positive record against LeBron(21-20)

Impressive for Jokic but probably moreso for Bron

I don't think the Suns are a super deep team regardless but in fairness Durant was uncharacteristically poor from the field, Eric Gordon was lolbad you gotta assume he's better than 25% from the field, and you still have Beal.

I thought Phoenix looked pretty good defensively all things considered, even if Klay missed a bunch of wide open shots

Yeah I didn't count Beal because GS was sans Draymond and they're probably close to equal impact.

Reggie Jackson breaking Bron’s entire body was the most entertaining play last night!

T Mann did quietly get added to the injury report... It would make sense for them to tell Harden to take it easy until the trade gets processed, if that's what is happening.

Myles Garrett just bought a minority stake in the Cavs. That's pretty cool

Before anyone posts I realize what a minority stake means. It's irrelevant. Myles isn't a billionaire. He's made like 80M in his career since he's 5 year deal is still going. He hasn't made that full $125M yet

It's still pretty cool if you're a Cleveland fan

So just take it for what it is

His shooting sucks but otherwise he's impacting the game....

8 rebs, 6 assists, and holding Mitchell to 10 pts at half.
