How about Fox taking over the game when we were on the ropes. This is what superstar players do. He was scoring every time down the floor, then making huge defensive plays on the other.

I might be upping my prediction from strong contender for ROY to straight up ROY.
Oop. Just did it. Just upgraded my prediction. Tyrese Haliburton will be the Rookie of the Year.

Probably at least one more wing (though Buddy playing defense now sorta pushes this down the priority list) and a big.

I blame Buddy Hield for being a terrible teammate and forcing Ty the ball with the shot clock expiring at the end of the game. He then LAUGHED about it! The NERVE.

If the star aligns, maybe the wing is Woodard. He's physically ready for the NBA, just gotta shake off the rookie's nerve.

Maybe in time. Despite looking the part our man has been invisible whenever he’s on the court.

we need Ranadive to work his symphonic magic and get all the pieces working together in rhythm. Fox and Barnes aggressive drives, set shots for Buddy, bagleys face up and corner three game and Haliburton running the offense when Fox isn’t in.

Lol really? Happens to the best of us. DMC did that in preseason as well.
Shooting (lets go Guy?), another 3/4 flex wing (Let's go Woodard?) and more complimentary bigs to the guys on the perimeter.

Yeah I think it was in garbage time in our last game against the Suns where we lost huge at the very end and Luke sent all the kids out...
I've been more than convinced that Holmes is good enough to be a starting big on a playoff team, but the other 3 guys are just mismatched pieces right now that all struggle defensively in different ways. Maybe if you played Bjelica at the 5, you could take advantage of his offense better and he wouldn't get so exposed on defense at the 4. Watching him defend MPJ was...an experience. Whiteside is a good rim protector, but the reason we were able to sign him to a minimum deal despite the monster counting stat year last year is the dude just gets played off the floor when he gets relentlessly attacked in the PnR. He's just a dinosaur in today's game. Pretty telling he wasn't playable in this match-up against Jokic, someone you'd think he'd be a perfect match for.

I kinda thought buddy and fox laughing about making the rook pay his dues and take the end of the game turnover was pretty hilarious. But the best part, Ty took it like a team player. Pay his dues and keep that team chemistry. I could totally see some other rookie thinking he’s a big shot and too big to listen to a vet and risk his stats. Ty sees the forrest past the trees.

that was the best moment of the game. I’ve never seen this team look so relaxed and happy

Buddy has incentives tied to turnovers per game so I wouldn’t put it past him to do this repeatedly.
