I want to say again that it is beyond me how we signed Tucker instead of Bamba.

we needed a wing who can at least guard the 4 or even the 5, that's Tucker

Bamba is a C and has gotten DNP's 3 of the last 4 games

We have Towns, Mitch, and Achiuwa at C

he would have never gotten a legit shot if not for Mitch's injury. knicks prob could have afforded to keep him in that scenario but he prob doesn't want to re-sign if not given a legit chance to show his game. catch 22

Grimes putting up those Mardy Collins numbers

Grimes for the tax payer mid level exception

Brunson / Kolek / Payne or Shamet
Grimes / McBride / McCullar
Bridges / Josh Hart / Dadiet
Anunoby / Achiuwa / Tucker or Warren
Towns / Robinson / Hukporti

Bridges, Hart and one of Achiuwa or Mitch should be available for another star if available

There's no chance he'd ever come back here to play for Thibs.

Besides, the Sixers have his bird rights.

They gonna pay Grimes. Low-key there is a better big market to try and get a third big than anything else. A lot of big guys out there who would be ok with a solid 8-12 minutes a night behind KAT/Mitch. Ideally one of Padiet or MarJon will step up to play wing minutes.

We wanted some vet leadership in the locker room. Bamba sucks

Cavs basically just practising coming back from double digits and playing in the clutch. I always had Garland over RJ in that draft but did not expect him to be THIS good. Oh well, at least we have OG.

Loved those Nembhard bricks, bum hit that lucky shot against us smh

Wow Hali!

NYKnickerbocker · Post #574 » by **NYKnickerbocker** » Wed Mar 12, 2025 2:04 am

That wasn’t a foul smh

Worst_to_First · Post #575 » by **Worst_to_First** » Wed Mar 12, 2025 2:07 am

What a crazy clutch 4pt play by Hali. Pacers, Bucks, Pistons all lumped in at the 4-6 seeds.

Obi-One · Post #576 » by **Obi-One** » Wed Mar 12, 2025 2:10 am

Now 5 games up in the loss column on both the Bucks and the Pacers and we won both season series. It would take a monumental choke job for us to blow the 3 seed

Wow. Used to be, in the 70s and before, that one dribble would negate an assist. In 1968 Wilt improbably led the league in assists. I recall reading he preferred passing to Billy Cunningham because Billy would catch and shoot. Whereas Chet Walker liked to headfake and make a dribble more before pulling up, so Wilt wouldn't get an assist

Where did I see that football style play before? Was it Pacers in last year's playoffs?

I'm sure Thibs has that in his playbook

Scott Foster is a terrible ref, riding the Pacers the whole game. Haliburton wasn’t fouled on that shot either.

WaltFrazier · Post #580 » by **WaltFrazier** » Wed Mar 12, 2025 2:24 am

Shaq's analysis is so poor. Giannis and Dame didn't score enough, "can't let that happen". Stars have to play great, "the others" can't be relied on, big guys need to get in the post. Stuff like that is all he's got. No X's and O's at all
