Just seen Klay’s training and interview. I like his ‘thunderstorm in the distance’-like anger, for every shot that rims out, for every promise that he makes to himself. Klay is the artillery man. the first shot goes long, the second short, and when the enemy thinks to have a chance, there starts the merciless barrage. And it will go on until winning time. I feel it in his voice: the League is about to be hammered pretty good.

Damn, I guess Dubs' barebones active roster really took the gilt off the Nugs to win by three whole points day before yesterday. This should be counted as a loss by Denver.

Was looking forward to watching the Dubs bounce back tonight, but I like the extra days of rest and practice for the guys as well. December is done! Ready for January Steph and Klay's return.

Kerr said Moody "shot the lights out" in the scrimmage, hit 5 or 6 threes...I need this shooting prowess to show up during actual games.

Had a busy evening totally couldn't watch the game. How was it?

I thought the shorthanded factor that Covid puts teams at was covered in their protocol of signing players from gleague or wherever to fill in. What happened? Is there a loophole in this that Denver took advantage of?

Denver not looking like the place to be at the moment

My theory with players like Harden is this: Those type of Players have developed a symbiotic relationship with the refs. You notice refs when Harden is going to the line 10-12 times. It kinda denotes their ‘importance’ within the flow of the game.

So once these rules changed some of these more egregious motions weren’t being called and Harden pouted. Last couple of games where harden has gone to the line often, you don’t see the head snaps as much but you’re seeing him still hooking his defenders arm. It’s like the refs just asked Harden to meet them about 25 percent of the way and he’s obliged and the refs are rewarding him accordingly.

I know there was no game tonight, but they should have let ticketed fans into the arena to watch Steph's pregame. He could have finished the workout with some FTs, during which they could have chanted, "MVP, MVP!"

The opponent has not scored any points in the quarter so far. Will it be the first time an NBA team will allow 0 points in a quarter?

Zero turnovers thus far! I'm really encouraged by the ball protection. Playing mistake free!
