Game 16: GSW @ Phoenix. TJD on his preferred nickname. Plus open thread.

Murderers Row of opponents continues

Inspirational verse from TJD postgame NBCSN 2023-10-23

You look so well prepared. for this NBA style. Talk about playing for Mike Woodson at Indiana University and how that has prepared you to come into the NBA.

Yes sir, Coach Woodson did a great job in preparing me in the two years that he had me. Just basically the style of offense that we ran, defensive coverages all translated over. So it's a huge thanks to him and the Indiana family.

Who do you model your game after?

I model my game after Draymond. Damontas Sabonis, he's a left-handed big that can pass. But it's really easy when you're playing with guys like Steph Curry, Chris Paul, Klay Thompson. Makes the job easy, just roll and make the right play.

What do you want the fans to call you? What's your nickname?

TJD.

That's it? Simple?

Yes, sir.
