I've said in my Wilson Chandler blog post in early September that LeBron James in 16 years had never experienced the rigors of the western conference until this upcoming season. And that the Nuggets need to be able to embrace the opportunity that's ahead of them to try and vault him into extinction now entering his mid-30's.
It's only one game, but not a bad start. :suds:

Not only is it 1 game, it is 1 preseason game where LeBron played 15 minutes. Just stop already.

Instant * 12 hrs later * analysis...

McGee won't be that good.

Svi won't be that bad.

LeBron won't average sub 16 mins a game.

Welcome to preseason.

Well done. The nuggets really dominated a lineup of Zubac, Svi, Travis Wear, Alex Caruso and a guy who wont even be on the roster in two weeks time, for the majority of the 2nd half.

I know what it is. Fuck I even titled it "preseason thread". :doh:

His only two made field goals in the opener were three-pointers, something we should expect to see more out of him as he ages. :clap:

Welcome to preseason.
Not to mention Jokic also won't be as bad as he was last night.

I am not sure you do.

You said it was only 1 game. It wasn't even that.

If you want to start a preseason thread to discuss individual performances, or team outlooks, then great. But your OP took a really stupid approach (not uncommon) and you got called on it.

Warriors lost to the T-Wolves, so 0-82 season here we come.

Well gee I never went as far as to crown us champions or even a playoff spot. Just that it was a good start and that our depth looks good. It was you that made the OP into something that wasn't actually there.

Yes well done. Your team who had minimal changes from last year played a solid game against a team who are just getting to know each other and featured a second half of G League players.

Have you written a blog about it yet?

No, it was defintely you.

The only story regarding LeBron last night was the fact that he took the court in a Laker jersey for the first time.

Instead, you chose to start a "preseason thread" and talk about how hard the West is and that the Nuggets are off to a good start on their quest to drive LeBron "toward extinction".

So yeah, you did it. Now own it.
