By the way I love what I saw from Quickley in preseason but if he's legit then he won't have an issue tearing up that 2nd unit of Indy.

I think your giving too much credit to thibs. Quickley vastly outplayed payton in preseason.

Was thibs asleep when DET and CLE dropped into zones and bogged down our offense. He is literally putting out a lineup that will get wrecked by a zone and he saw that in preseason.

Thibs is starting payton because he is a vet. Nothing else. Not talent, fit, or performance base...just because he is a vet.

You watched the game already?

My dude relax

Its game 1 of the season, we aren't competing for a championship. We are literally upset because our late 1st rounder isn't being thrown into the starting lineup on opening night despite the coach loving him and having high praise for him

I'm not worried about IQ at all he's going to get his minutes

I watched all last year :lol:

How Bullock is getting burn is beyond me. I know he's been a good soldier, but c'mon....

With that being said, is our 2nd team?

Frankfooters
Burks

Either Thibs is tanking intentionally or he’s really just Fizdale 2.0

Now is IQ even the first guard off the bench?

At least Mitch starting! IQ didn’t get the nod but at least he gets to run with the bench guys. I give it 5 minutes before EP is pulled.

It's ridiculous to even consider Payton a vet.

What has he accomplished in his 6-year NBA career that Quickley hasn't?

An empty triple-double in a L for a New Orleans team that had already thrown the towel?

Honestly? What has he done? What has he learned in all those losing seasons in Orlando and New Orleans? Dude hasn't even sniffed the playoffs. Or maybe, just maybe, he was part of the problem there.

Dude should be treated like a rookie. He has yet to play a meaningful NBA game and he's been in the NBA for 6 years.

these mf'ers are really testing our commitment.

A full year wasn't enough torture I guess

they're putting off some really strong "wtf you gonna do about it? - nothing that's what I thought" vibes

And when can we finally get rid of that bum Randle?

the real problem is just putting themselves in the same position to have a lineup that doesn't work in the modern nba. they had millions to work with. they're sitting on near 20 mill unused right now. they should have figured something out besides "let's run it back".

OKC has sold the damn farm and will still trot a much more modern lineup than us

Good news for our tank though, although no point getting top picks and not feature them in a meaningful way

Absolutely shocking. I believe I called that lineup, not that was any great feat.
You are as Clyde would say "The Wiley Ol Vet"!

Yeah, I’m going with at least Mitch starting. Paint will be clogged tho... I expect a terrible start.

Asking for a friend.

Cause if that's the case, I.. Opps I mean my friend is not gonna watch a wasted year and another 8th pick in the draft.

Phoenix didn’t even want him

Burks at the 2 and Knox at the 3 I assume. Frank sucked all preseason and Knox showed his improvements, especially playing with IQ. Plus Knox has the Kentucky connection behind him that wants him to win

bruh, I'm not an anti-analytics guy by any means - but we don't need analytics to tell us these guys suck. they don't even come close to passing the eye test.

If Quick is the real deal then he's going to elevate the play of that bench. If he can't do that for the bench then he shouldn't be starting. So just wait for the bench to come in if the starters come out flat. It's simple
