Terrible end to second quarter. Team seemed half asleep.
Well, they didn't play against each other. But Lively was really good in his role, Spurs had no answer for him in the 3rd quarter.Fair to claim Lively outplayed Wembanyama?
Lively II - 31 min, 10 reb (5+5), 1 ast, 1 stl, 1 blk, 16 pts, +20 +/-
Wemby - 23 min, 5 reb (0+5), 2 ast, 2 stl, 1 blk, 15pts, 0 +/-
Interesting. They're both listed as centers, not even once they faced off?Well, they didn't play against each other. But Lively was really good in his role, Spurs had no answer for him in the 3rd quarter.
Wembanyama got himself benched with some reckless fouls (in attack), but otherwise I thought he was awesome. This is going to be an exciting season for Spurs. Especially if Pop will stick with Sochan as pg
I don't remember a single situation tbh. Wemby played more on the perimeter on both attack and defence.Interesting. They're both listed as centers, not even once they faced off?
How did Stickman perform in his debut?Thunder with an impressive 1st game. A team to watch this season for sure.
He was fine and looks like a nice fit with the rest of the team. There was one occasion which is all over networks where Drummond apparently "broke his ankles" with a crossover, but tbf to me it looked more like Chat awkwardly stepping and tripping himself. Both him and Wemby need to get a bit more strength (while getting accustomed to the league) as until then they will mostly rely on their outside shooting.How did Stickman perform in his debut?
We were sloppy down the stretch but a really good win. Steph is something else. Klay’s shooting was solid, and good to see Moody and Kuminga get good minutesThat was way closer than it should have been, but an excellent win all the same. Steph is still firing on all cylinders even at 35.
Matched almost 10% of last years road wins all in one night.
Are people writing them off? Seem to be always named when people talk about serious contendersI don’t understand why some people were writing off the Nuggets pre season, after 2 games they already look strong favourites for back to back titles.
Not sure people writing them off, more like they aint count as favorites due history of X years of some team going back to back title, guess GSW is the last one.I don’t understand why some people were writing off the Nuggets pre season, after 2 games they already look strong favourites for back to back titles.
That double block was insane.Wemby took over in that 4th quarter. When the Spurs actually learn how to play and get a PG he'll be truly unstoppable on the offense. Defense he's already a monster
First block should have been a foul tbf.That double block was insane.
How? He got the ball cleanlyFirst block should have been a foul tbf.
Made contact with Jabari’s arm.How? He got the ball cleanly
Perhaps, although, it's balanced out by that horrendous basket interference call on Wemby. Even Stevie Wonder could have seen that it clearly wasn't.Made contact with Jabari’s arm.
That was the only erroneous call against him that I can recall but he was allowed to foul with impunity the entire night and he got a couple of phantom calls to run salt in the wound.Perhaps, although, it's balanced out by that horrendous basket interference call on Wemby.

Absolutely, hope kid dodges injuries and he will have bright future imo, with right attitudeFunny thing is that Chet looked absolutely phenomenal on defense in his last game against the Cavs (7 blocks), but Jokić is, well, the best player in the league hands down.
A nice learning curve for young Chet if nothing.
Always nice to see OKC get thrashedNuggets enjoyed a nice afternoon walk.
Yep, agree, he looks like a really good prospect. His frame and injuries are a concern for me, especially because he doesn't shy away one bit from physical contact. He will have to add a bit of muscle, there were times today where Jokić just shrugged him off.Absolutely, hope kid dodges injuries and he will have bright future imo, with right attitude
Aye, was looking forward to this game but the Nuggets just ate them alive. Tbf, OKC being this young will go up and down a lot throughout the season and the Nuggets look great (even their bench is playing well).Nuggets enjoyed a nice afternoon walk.
Just watched the game on delay. If it wasn't for Steph we really would struggle. He seemed to be disinterested for most of the game and then when the Rockets came back to take the lead, he hits 4 straight 3s and the game is overThank god for the dubs at least one team I like won. Klay shot well (14/24 over last 2 games, 50% from 3) to keep our starting unit ticking over until Steph took over and called game with 4 straight 3s in 90 seconds down the stretch. Draymond rusty as hell but our bench looked good especially GP2 and CP3 handled the ball really well. Need Wiggins to improve.
