So after Precious just loses the ball again, Scottie decides to run hands up and just throw the ball at the rim. Boys needed that timeout

I mean getting well thought out opinions from actual fans in realtime that you can have a back-and-forth with is not that bad of an idea

idk man if we win Boston is out

I’ll reach out to the guys let 'em know, if y’all reach out to Suggs and tell him to chill when playing Toronto. Man is always on a mission

Mod I appreciate you adding the channel in the morning posts

I’ll just answer your Q’s

Expectations are lowered now, I came in buying the hype. But I’m not like super disappointed.

I do enjoy Darko’s coaching. I like that he uses timeouts like a classic coach did back in the day to stop runs and callout careless mistakes (or even if the guys are gassed). My wife said to me “This season you always say ‘good timeout good timeout’ you never say ‘where is the timeout?!?’ anymore” so I guess that’s a good measure of me.

It’s great to see bench players get minutes. It’s frustrating to see the +/- of our bench guys but I always thought “how can they develop if they do not play?” so kudos to Darko for getting more people reps.

Thoughts on P and Barnes. Siakam was struggling early and it looked bad but he actually looks like he’s in peak performance rn. Still early days to say this of course, but it’s just nice to see him hunt mismatches in the post and the defending team has to react to it. Scottie is just getting better and better. For me the frustrating thing is how pissed/annoyed he gets when calls are missed or a teammate misses a pass/shot. Sometimes he really fires the ball at our other guys and they cant handle a 100mph fastball when standing 3 feet away from him. In 2K it’s great because auto-catch, but he’s gotta make the passes a liiiiiittle easier to catch for stonehand guys like Precious or Jakob.

Record is okay for now I’m just glad we’re not doing a lot worse.

I don’t hate Masai or the FO. I don’t always agree, and I know they know we need shooters, but I worry about the relationship to Pascal and him becoming untradeable. He’s amazing, but that just means his value is high. It’s tough I kind of go back and forth about this, because Scottie is great but he’s not polished yet. However if we had like oh IDK Mitchell or Lillard…well you don’t know what you don’t know. End of the day, Masai/Bobby/FO are professionals and have years of experience in the game. I’m just a dude who likes to watch this team play. So I’ll defer to their judgment.

Niang about to put in some cardio work

Not the first time Dray stalled out during a post-game press conference

Here’s the BBALLBREAKDOWN video about it

Nein

I found myself trying to multitask and I obviously couldn’t because I don’t speak German. Soft pass for me

Trying to get an open look as a rook is not going to be easy ever. The skill level change is massive. He needs to have actions run for him, and even then he’s gotta be able to handle big fast strong MFs closing out.

IMO G League is the answer to at least get him to game speed comfort

Nah man this man is the GOAT idgaf

Giannis was fucking beastly this game. I know, every game, but this one felt mean

I know I’m nitpicking and I love that you’re doing this. Can I ask the single-digit games be 00, 01, 02? This way the formatting lines up a bit cleaner

I read the title and was having deja vu

I’ve noticed if the game is a blowout, both teams announcers are more likely to be friendly to other teams’ players.

Considering the Pacers have underperformed for so many years, they probably got used to (instead of tearing down their own guys) bigging up the competition to sort of be like “well look at how good this guy is, what can we do”

He’s checkin’ on the status of his dual citizenship before comin’ up north

and it wasnt a lame ass throw-in

The year of the Monk
