I am happy to say I missed most the game. My question who did Mathurin get most his points against, or was he just on one tonight?
I'd love to see how Grimes would look defending Mathurin. Mathurin was too big for Quickley or McBride and too fast for the big guys to switch against. Nembhard had a really nice fourth quarter too. The good news is that New York's starters outplayed Indy while they rocked and RJ's touch around the basket looked about as good as I can ever remember.

RJ 7/14 tonight and has missed only one free throw out of 11 in preseason so far. 21 points he's coming for that 23 or 24 if he continues with improved freethrows.

Rj looks like he ready to drop a Efficient 20 ppg this year
Cam wow he looks like he forgot how to play basketball . And it sucks but o see why they keep rose and sign Brunson IQ isn’t a lead guard . He’s a bench microwave guy
I didn’t see the whole game but you’re right IQ is a sixth man. I also think the issue is Mcbride isn’t able to offensively create enough to make things easier, plus Cam was out there struggling.

Thank you ! Outside of the threes he hit in first gsme I watch him like put in sims this isn’t it . Maybe it’s Thibs scheme idk but I expected something more dynamic

I'm giving him some more time. Hart's struggling because I think he's dropping too far and that lets players build momentum before they reach him. Sims hasn't gotten any fair shake at minutes, but he's been frustrating on the glass. The Obi/Sims tandem only got two minutes and I think it's because they were destroyed on the defensive glass.
