cade missed an open three and a bunch of tough layups in the 4th.  but if you want to be a max player and an all star, you have to make those when it counts.  or at least draw fouls.

hey, its only one game.  and last year he looked great in game one against miami (also a loss).  so lets all settle down.

and besides, in the grand scheme of things you should want them to lose.  need that #5 pick again!

Competitive game, but in the end Indy is a better team and they showed that in the 4th. Would’ve been nice to pull it out, but if they can play like this all season they’ll definitely win their share of games. 

would’ve been nice to have Ausar out there. I wonder if and when he’ll get to play. 

would have been nice to have him on mathurin.  otoh, it would allow indy to just have a floater on defense to clog the lane and double cade because ausar is useless on offense.

In a Monty offense where you stick him the corner, sure. But it’s not that hard to make him the screener, put him in the dunker spot, let him initiate the screen, or get him running off of off-ball screens. Especially now, when you have three other guys out there who can space (4’ish if you run him with Stew).

first round pick marcus sasser with a grand total of 3 minutes.

i will miss JEIII telling me he and isaiah livers were the missing pieces to a solid team.

And he only got that because Ivey was in foul trouble.
 

I think Livers just had surgery again.

I feel like an engaged coach wouldn't get 6 men on the court.

Watching basketball 40+ years and outside of starting 6+ seniors on senior night, I don't think I have ever witnessed 6 men on the court.  

That was really bad. New palyers and new coaches first game of the season. Lets hope thats all it was.
