If and when we get past Saadaam Trump's 12 Plagues Of QAnon, and get people back in the house, the Barclays will be rocking. 
 

Yeah, I would definitely take the short walk from my apartment to eyeball that once or twice a season, in a normal season.

Luckily, vax and sane leadership on the way, with luck we'll have actual butts-in-seats in both NYC arenas come spring.

I want IQ to start.  He can create for others and shoot the ball which is a combination not found in our other options.

BUT

Starting a rookie over an incumbent veteran is always a tricky maneuver in the locker room.
There needs to be some event... be it injury or losing streak that allows Thibs to make it seem like his hand was forced to make the change.

I can see the rationale to start Elfrid... at least for a little while.

But i will expect that at some point soon IQ will supplant him.

lol, Thibs doesn't need some tricky maneuver to jettison the Elf from the starting lineup.

We're not talking Stockton or Magic here. The guy is barely hanging in the league on a four buck contract signed 10 minutes ago. "Led" his squad to how many wins last year?

Thibs will do whatever he wants to do whenever he wants to do it without breaking a bead of sweat.

Will we see Quickley early is the only question

I wouldn't object for Payton starting for now being a vet and not putting Quickley under immediate pressure but I don't agree he won the  job.  Quickley looked pretty good out there.

Despite kiid's heartfelt worries, homeless people are doing much better on the COVID front than Republicans.

Or James Harden. The Rockets will not be playing tonight.

Payton won it in Game 1.  And likely in practices.

Quickley hadn't even played vs Pistons as EP sizzled

And yet...he started Payton like I expected.   

And yes,  there will be a catalytic event...   maybe in practice, maybe in a game .... that will ALLOW Thibs to make a change that faces the least resistance.

No tricky maneuver.  It could be poor play by Payton.  It could be a comeback victory led by IQ.   Could be an injury.  Could just be hard work in practice.

Coaches can't just do whatever the hell they want whenever they want..   ...  See Fizdale starting RJ at PG.  How'd that work out?
They have freedom like a chess piece.  They can make moves when opportunities arise.

Celts-Buck helluva game

refs almost bailed out Bucks with ticky-tack BS call

but justice prevailed-BDL 

if TT and Teague can blend and contribute as well as they did tonight, they this team could be pretty, pretty pretty, good.

"And yet...he started Payton like I expected."

Like everyone expected you blithering idiot.

That doesn't change the essential wrongness of your point.

No, Thibs needs no EVENT, no MANEUVER, no nothing...nothing more than the turnover plagued eyeball hurting mediocrity we witnessed tonight.

Inspiring first half from the crew until it went wrong in the second. Looking forward to more of that first half stuff. RJ BARRRRRRRRRRRRRRETT


***lol, can't believe you are ref'ing FuckDale as a coach....lol lol lol, Fizwhale, as an exemplar for used car salesmen maybe...
