PS Game 4: Hornets @ Knicks, Tues 10/15 @ 7:30 PM

[stuporman]

It matters in a close race for playoff seeding. Home court advantage etc. It's not meaningless. It doesn't matter as to how good the team may become during the season but, all wins and losses count.

I didn't say meaningless, don't twist my words, it just doesn't mean as much as fans think it does but ok overreact to one game if you want.

I'm not going to either way win or lose, it's only one game, the first of the season with a newly formed starting group playing against a well established unit.

KP isn't even going to be playing so again, it's not as important as some will think it is.

i'm not tryna twist your words just saying that thibs is almost certainly gonna have this team playing like it means something because 1. it's real regular season 2. the defending champs 3. specifically the team our big offseason trades were meant to counter. of course game 1 doesn't forecast the entire 82 game season, but the teams playing will compete hard and it may set the tone for our new starting lineup for better or worse. as a fan i'm happy to find any reason to be invested in the storyline

Did I reply with that to you? No, I didn't...wtf is wrong with people, are you all losing your minds?

Yes, Thibs will have his team ready for the game and he will definitely care about the outcome because he's...Thibs. The team will play hard and care about the game because...they should, they are paid professionals.

My point is simply and nothing more than, don't place too much importance on the first game of the season, it's just one game.

But....you do you

This gon be the game they put it together.

Welp!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[3toheadmelo]

Thibs needs to treat this game like the playoffs we want the starters in!!!!

[stuporman]

So you're telling me Tyko and Huk will be playing extended minutes?

[thebuzzardman]

This is basically a SL game now.

Should be, uh, entertaining

[jvsimonetti0514]

Would have preferred the starters to play, since most of them are new but nobodies really playing their starters in this preseason.

Welp!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was looking forward to seeing our guys build some more chemistry

[stuporman]

Oh wait...on second thought, doesn't Thibs care about team chemistry for the so important first game of the year? Gasp!!!

I don't know who was putting too much importance in the game. You are making it seem like. doesn't count much when it factually does. It's a division rival and a team we are aiming to be better than. It could be the difference in seeding by years end. So, while it doesn't define the season it could matter down the stretch. It's not that serious. No one twisted any words. More specifically, I didn't twist your words. I corrected you.

[Jalen Bluntson]

I'm ok with not playing the starters in a meaningless game. I would prefer to get a look at the rest of the team before the season starts.

Interested to see what the rotation will be.

Well, since this all started with me wanting to see the young guys play more and you all were telling me that was wrong because of how important the precious chemistry the team needed yet now you are ok with them not playing the preseason game despite your previous point about the chemistry so...um....exactly wtf are you talking about now? Trying to be 'right' on the internet?

This all started when I corrected your nonsense. Beating the Celtics matters. Is it the end of the world? No. Will it define our season? No. It could decide our path through the playoffs though. That's what the fuq I'm talking about. You're out here trying to clown people when you're dead wrong. That's the reality.
