The biggest problem with this team is coaching.

Just looked at the box score, is Coby just chucking?

We're really unbalanced.

The sooner we decide whether is a play-in or a tank season, the better it will be.

We need size and D. If you're trying to win games, it might be the time to move Coby for defensive help

Watching Giddey is rough at times. Like I wouldn't say he is bad, but idk how he fits in this era.

He needs to be stronger if he is going to be this slow. He has some of the worst lateral quickness in the league and if he can't hit shots he needs to be able to finish through contact.

The league will decide for them.

Yep, Giddey is a bad fit for the game we play. if we had a two legged Ball, Giddey would be handing out gatorades

He is bad plus his problems are things age never really helps. He is not explosive and has crappy foot work.

Overall no surprise, Bulls aren't so good they're winning both games of a B2B. Pacers red hot from 3 as well.
Great game from Lavine off a B2B, 32 on 22 shots.
Not really impressed with White who had a full week of rest and bad defenders on him.
Matas needs some kind of game driving to the basket.

Hali suddenly decides to show up vs Bulls. Pacers also got really hot in the 4th.

Billy should have bench a guard. He allowed Indy to get comfortable but nothing is ever his fault.

Indy has 3 athletic guys over 6'8 in their starting 5. No wonder it was a layup drill. If we had a dominant rim protector it might work.

The 2nd quarter's bad game killed our momentum.

Mateas needs to get stronger.

Agreed BIlly plays him as a generic wing, and generic wings for us shoot 3s, that's it. 4 years of PWill is just him shooting from the corner. That's all Phillips does is shoot corner 3s even though he has like a 46" vertical. It's surprising Giddey gets as many assists as he does because he's rarely actually running the P&R.

Giddey obviously needs to be a point forward, otherwise there's no point in acquiring him.

But Billy has always just played his system and never coached to the strengths of his players. This is back to even OKC really, Daigneault has been such a massive upgrade for them.

Giddey is probably too odd of a player to work with BIlly. Billy couldn't even utilize Markkanen who is an easier prototype to work with.

Giddey can look really rough at times. He needs some polishing.

When I heard Coby was starting, right before the game began, I immediately thought "this is a loss". He can be a very valuable piece on this team. But notc as a starter and not chucking up 19 shots. Billy will never learn.

Same thing with THT. There is a role for him. Just not a big a role as Billy has suddenly decided to give him.

I get not wanting to start Lonzo because he is sitting out too many games and you want to find a consistent starting lineup. Based on that the starters should be Giddy, Ayo, Lavine, Matas, Vuc. Eventually that leaves you with Lonzo, Coby, Smith, Williams as solid quality bench players.

How does Ayo go 6-8, and Coby 7-19 1 game after a trip-dub for Ayo? Again, where is Billy's head? He needs to get it out of his....

Yep. they started hitting some crazy shots. They were efficient as fu as well

Giddey is shooting 25% from three since November 1st. He’s bad.
