Tyrese Watch 2022-23

[Tetsujin]

It doesn't sound like you're enjoying watching basketball, that's the whole point. It sounds like people just want to watch Tyrese succeed to a certain extent, and Buddy fail to a large extent. If this was about basketball, there'd be a whole lot more flavor to the game than just "Tyrese is so good and lol@Buddy lol@PacersforgettingBuddy".

For example, things I've picked up watching two games of Pacers ball:
- Washington Jr ain't very good
- Team will be fun to watch when Turner and Brogdon are back
- Jalen Smith has looked good, hope he can turn things around
- Ant-man was absolutely ridics
- Duarte looks good, Pacers probably win the Wolves game if he didn't get injured

This is the Tyrese Watch thread so of course most of us would be talking about Tyrese and by extension the other ex-Kings players playing with him. All I can say is that if you want us to say more positive things about Buddy, he needs to play better basketball. No one really said much about his near triple-double, sure, but they also weren't exactly negative about him up until he forced some ugly shots to end the game. And his game against the T-Wolves was indefensibly bad, while also (according to plus-minus stats) somehow not as bad as Tyrese's?

When one guy put up 23 points and 16 assists and the other guy goes 1/13 from three, of course people are going to pick on the guy who shot like he was drunk.

Lol, Buddy gets traded and some of you still can't give it a rest. You must lead really sad lives that all you ever do is make snarky remarks about other teams when your own team has been cr*p for so long.

Don't you spend most of your time doing the same thing with Fox?

Fox on the Kings, no?

Ok sure.

Meh, these threads tend to be pretty intense for the first week or so but then die down as people get used to the trade/find something new to freak out about. I'm sure the comments about Buddy won't be as harsh in a couple of days lol.

You mean like, Buddy is a clown? Never forget!!

 

[Tetsujin]

Pacers out here getting bodied by Mamu in the first quarter.

 

[Tetsujin]

Goodness, Giannis is a freak

 

[captain bill]

Back to back steals from Hali with a 3 on top

 

[Tetsujin]

Buddy having a MUCH better game tonight. with 17 points and 3 assists in the first half.

Jalen Smith continues to look good for the Pacers to the point they probably won't be able to re-sign him this summer.

Tyrese is putting up NUMBERS as the primary/only option for the Pacers/ who I can best describe as the 2019 Kings but slightly less explosive and more helio-centric.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Pacers just tried guarding Giannis with Tyrese. It did not work lol

 

[Tetsujin]

WHY THE HELL DO THEY KEEP TRYING TO GUARD GIANNIS WITH TYRESE? Do they think he's Doug Christie?

 

[Tetsujin]

If I were Bud, I would simply have Giannis score every time.

 

[Tetsujin]

It looked like Buddy just passed the ball to Jrue.

Buddy having an absolutely great night shooting compared to the other night though.

 

[Tetsujin]

For whatever reason, this Pacers team is playing the Bucks tougher with Tyrese off the floor and Buddy on it than vice versa

 

[steelevt]

Buddy always had that one good game once in awhile where he would shoot like 8/10 from the 3 and single-handedly win us a game. It wasn’t often but it happens.

 

[Tetsujin]

Operation guard the best player in the world with Tyrese isn't going that great.

 

[Tetsujin]

Buddy hitting everything today

 

[Tetsujin]

I know we're all convinced passing on Luka is the biggest draft miss in Kings but I sure as hell wish the weasel took Petrie's advice and drafted Giannis in his very first draft lol

kings probably ruin Giannis honestly.

 

[mac]

Some of those plays with Giannis going downhill were just ridiculous. I don't blame Buddy and Tyrese and basically every other Pacer for not trying their best to get out of the way. The guy gathers a step into the three point line and finishes through contact, worst case he gets his own board and dunks it on you.

Glad Buddy finally had himself a good game. Tristan Thompson leaves much to be desired.

 

[Woot!]

Buddy hitting everything today

1st time Buddy's hit over 50% of his shots in 13 games.

4th time in his last 28.

Not a good look for a shooter.

 

[SLAB]

20/14/5 and a W

 

[Tetsujin]

20/14/5 and a W

It's because they finally got rid of TT

(Also the Wizards are kinda bad)

 

[captain bill]

Maybe a good game to wait a few days to watch to help bridge the long all star game gap. Can’t wait til he notches a 30/20 game feels inevitable

TT came up pretty big for them. Wizards might be bad, but don't forget Pacers basically played Tyrese, Buddy, Lance, 3 undrafted guys and two typically 3rd/4th string bigs in TT and Jalen Smith.

 

[Albatros]

How come there not a Bagley watch?

He notched a nice 6 points 6 boards with a W. Knew he just needed the right environment to start balling out.

Albatros might actually be Jerry Reynolds

Maybe mods can rename thread to Tyrese/Buddy/Marvin watch
