2021-2022 Games Thread

[Captain Morgan]

after a preseason that was "not ideal,"  Wed. October 20 starts the season with the Indianna Pacers visiting.  Game is at 7 pm.  We are healthier now and the Pacers will be a good measuring stick.  We were battling with them for the final playoff spots last year.

Let's hope for a victory to start the season, and see some chemistry established.  As much as we had last year, it never showed up in preseason.  Really want to get back to watching Melo work his magic and the team playing fun basketball.

So can we watch games this year?

Looks like no Rozier tonight.

The starting five is:

PG- LaMelo Ball

SG- Gordon Hayward

SF- Kelly Oubre

PF- Miles Bridges

C- Mason Plumlee

I’d expect Ish Smith, Cody Martin, Jalen McDaniels, P.J. Washington, and possibly Nick Richards to get some run tonight. I assume James Bouknight will get a little run as well.

I’m not expecting to see Vernon Carey, Kai Jones, or JT Thor and obviously Scottie Lewis and Arnoldas Kulboka are two-way players.

He seemed to be first off the bench to spell Mason in preseason and I’ve watched a few press conferences where they keep talking him up for some odd reason.

I don’t think we’ll see much of him because I expect us to go small with P.J. before putting in Richards but I still think there’s a possibility he gets in the game.

I wouldn't doubt he gets some burn. Richards seems to have taken the place of the Martin twin that is in Miami now. JB just loves to play guys that he shouldn't for some reason.

Annnnd of course I can't find how to watch the game. But hey, at least I get Atlanta United MLS Soccer!

If their name is Plumlee, they are a guaranteed goofball on a basketball court.  My God this guy is hard to watch.

[BlackPanther21_]

I need NBA league pass. Fug this lol

[MillionDollarCam]

This hasn’t been a fun start… we still don’t have a rim protector.

[BlackPanther21_]

I see Sabonis is kicking our ass, nothing new there.

Just wait until JB subs in Richards for him. It'll get worse.

[Captain Morgan]

bout what we expected.  We're getting dominated in the paint, we'll go as our guards go.

Such BS. I live in NC and can't watch games?
