Wow, tonight is a night of upsets. Wizards beat the Nuggets, Pistons beat the Knicks, Heat beat the Suns, and Grizzlies beat the Celtics. Joker got 56 and still lost. The Nuggets really need to put better pieces around Joker to maximize his prime. I think he's so good that he can get Denver at least a couple more championships if they surround him with a good team, but that needs to happen sooner than later.

I didn’t realize the Grizzlies beat the Celtics. Knicks didn’t have KAT.

Agree regarding Denver.

It was the second night of a back to back for the Celtics, so I give them that excuse. KAT seem to have already cemented himself to be an important part of the Knicks' success, at least for now.

Yes KAT is looking good with the Knicks.

What do you think of the TWolves? Seem to be playing better.

I watched yesterday's TWolves vs Warriors game. Yes, TWolves definitely seem to be playing better than before. Better offense, much better defense, but still careless with the ball causing turnovers. Maybe Ant publicly calling his team out really worked. Let's see further down the season how this goes.

Is it really going to matter though. I don’t see anyone beating the Thunder in the West. They look so good and I expect they will only get better.

It's still early in the season, teams can still heat up / cool down / and what not. Injuries could also happen. But with the way things are looking right now, and with Chet expected to come back later in the season, it's really hard to find a team that will beat OKC in the West in a 7 game series. Mavs might get 1 or 2 over them when Luka and/or Kyrie gets hot, but I agree with you and don't see any team beating OKC in a 7 game series.
