Yeah, I don't think any of these come close to that one (some of these I had never even heard of).

Yeah, just Murray off ball action drawing the defense away from the other shooters is huge. So good to see him back.

I've been wondering why I haven't seen that one yet. It was incredible. Wouldn't be surprised if the NBA drug tested him after the game.

I wouldn't call that easy. Nice, creative touch by SGA.

He finally became financially independent enough to quit his day job and focus on his hobby full time. Good for him.

He's a lot better than "not bad" with that contract. He was a legitimate starter on a playoff team before the trade.

She's not wrong if he's a "basketball is life" guy. Lucky for him, it seems there are some extracurriculars that he also enjoys...

The Nuggets would not be good. The Thunder would be solid tho. Especially with how much weaker all the other teams are.

Shai, Zion, Wemby, Chet, Jokic.

Anyone who is low usage, and either an elite shooter with good defense, or elite defender with good shooting. Also helps if they are on a good contract. It's the high usage and/or poor shooting/defenders that have to have teams or lineups specifically built around them to maximize their effectiveness.

Chet has very quickly become the 2nd most important player on this team; and as good as Giddey and JDub are, I think he also becomes the 2nd best player sometime in 2024.

Honestly, it's probably somewhat true. College defenses will just form a wall against getting into the paint, and double team him all the way down the court. He'll make the right pass to completely open teammates who will just fumble the ball or miss a wide open shot. It happened to Trae in the 2nd half of his NCAA season, and had people questioning if he was an NBA player.

 

Has it always been this good? I feel like it used to be a couple of talking heads with an occasional live TV look. Right now it's 1-4 games at once, at all times, and it's awesome. They should be doing this every night.
