LOL you can CLEARLY hear Thibs on a lot of these plays. Also we just got the first buzzer beater hit on us. Wonder if we will break last seasons record lol.

No need to look for a PF, we have Payne.

I hope Adreian Payne donates his brain to science because people deserve to know what's going on inside that head.

John Lucas III deserves to stick around. Gives us flexibility to send Tyus to D League for stints.

Adams destroying our interior.

Pretty lazy rebounding. They aren't even boxing out.

These commentators just said, that even if we were playing all of the guys we sat we still would have been looking at the same result...

Makes you appreciate Jim Pete and even Benz so much more.

Would be great if we go on a run and win this one. Then we can tweet to the commentators about how it would have been a 25 point blow out if our starters had played.

I like that Thibs has clear starters/bench idea and gives some time to gain chemistry within units. Also it is interesting that when we were a bit confusing about Lucas signing as 4th Thibs anticipated Dunn's struggles as Kris is not 100% ready for NBA point guard job yet. This game Lucas showed his value as microwave scorer. However I still think it is more about mentality. Tyus should learn a lot from Lucas, because Tyus has skills to be successful within this role.

I was sceptical about scheduling a b2b during pre-season, but I am even more confused about a b2b where the entire starting unit rests.
At first I thought this might be a stress test of some kind, to see how players reacted to the stress, but now I am wondering if this was just to practise the whole road trip experience?

Says a Tyus trade is possible nothing happening yet though. Some interest from the Kings, Philly and Pels. Miami has some interest in Payne.

Some other stuff on Dieng, Bazz and CBA.

Jones with Sixers could be interesting. Jerami Grant to Minny would be nice?
