The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Begins | Embiid Debut | Klay Return

I've always had Embiid's rim protection as the biggest thing over Jokic, but Jokic has got a lot better on that end so Embiid's lead on him is negligible now. Jokic just affects his team's winning more at this point.
Embiid hasn’t really played defense in like 2 seasons now. He’s not a feared big anymore. They went inn the paint all night
 
Nuggets are gonna miss Monte Morris. Bones does way too much
If Giddeys 3 pt shooting improvement is real the league in trouble. He was like 56% in the preseason and on good volume

Bazley is the most polarizing Thundrr player. Most the fans dont like him and been wanting him traded and even Presti didnt give him an extension but his defense is as “can guard 1 through 5 and protect the rim” as anyone right now. If he does leave in fa, Id like to see him somewhere defense oriented who also gets out in transition (Miami? San Francisco?)

55-55 at the half, Jokic with 4, SGA with 15/5/1
