Cade Cunningham's 31 missed field goals in a single game is the new post-merger NBA record, beating Kobe Bryant's 30, and the most missed field goals since Jerry West in 1966. The all time NBA record is still safely in Joe Fulks control when he missed 42 in 1948

UD: "Can you just talk about the luxury of having a guy like Aaron Gordon who is a great 3rd option and just plays within the system but he's always impacting the game?" Jokic: "I bet you remember in the Finals..." 💀

Legitimate rebounding issue for the Nuggets so far. Don't know now much of that is communication related vs. size issue vs. just not being comfortable with each other yet. But it's a real problem.

Nuggets have started well enough but it doesn't look great. There's clearly so much better the team can get. So much of the offense is still a step too slow, or a step rushed, or just a little bit off. Defense is even more of a wip right now. Too many open threes, physicality isn't there yet.

That Cam pass to the diving Jokic is simple but not one that MPJ would have made at the same speed last year. Granted he may have just shot the open 3 and drained it.

Davion Mitchell being this good since coming to Miami is awesome. Also an absolute indictment on the Kings who should be in development jail for no less than 800 years.

Donovan Mitchell is a great scorer but this should be the year he figures out how to score more without hucking his whole body into traffic. Every year he ends up so banged up playing on fumes. Don't wanna see his postseason career end up like McGrady.
