What if he helps us to a title one Day? Can we call him Champ Payne?Oatmeal wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 6:05 amIf he reverts to previous levels of suckage, can we call him Sham Payne?bajanguy008 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 5:51 am
Actually got this quote from the Pacers broadcast
"He's having quite the Campaign for next season"
Glad you finally recognized what Oubre brings to this team.specialsauce wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 8:45 amWhat a game. Thought it was over when Book foolishly got his fifth foul (what was he thinking??), but Payne and Saric kept us going. Payne has been incredible, I doubt he keeps up this shooting but he’s been everything we need for that bench squad.
Then the starters with Book leading the way closed it out. Great win.
The only player I feel has contributed nothing to this run is Kaminsky. He truly is a waste of a roster spot
Agreed. I want to see the guy play well, and he did have one decent game (not the last one, but the one before, I think?). But overall his play has been really brutal. Every shot he puts up, I expect it to clang off the rim. And his defense has been poor. I don't think he's earning himself any chance to return to the team next year.The only player I feel has contributed nothing to this run is Kaminsky. He truly is a waste of a roster spot
He has helped this team more in the last 4 games than he did all year.Indy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 8:51 amGlad you finally recognized what Oubre brings to this team.specialsauce wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 8:45 amWhat a game.

He’s just way too lumbering on D. He doesn’t deter shots in the paint, he can’t cover the perimeter, and for a stretch big guy he can’t shoot. I see no NBA level skill there, and from someone who wanted him on draft night as the next Dirk, man he sucks. Those games in college against UofA were a total mirageMori Chu wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 8:52 amAgreed.

Did you see your guy Popeye is one of Pacers assistants ?specialsauce wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 8:45 amWhat a game.

Im still anxious about making any changes to the team roster at this point, with the team doing so well together, especially for Oubre, who has such a strong personality both on and off the court.

I saw him in one of the huddles during the 4th quarter

Oubres not the type to come in and try and blend. He will try and take over a second unit that’s been playing well together. You’d hate to see it folks.jonh wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 11:18 amIm still anxious about making any changes to the team roster at this point, with the team doing so well together, especially for Oubre, who has such a strong personality both on and off the court.
At the same time, Frank has been terrible, and Im sure having a fresh set of legs would be helpful during this stretch.
@jonh I understand the anxiety about messing with the lineup. However, I think we have a great opportunity to just slowly introduce Oubre. We don’t need to change the starting lineup. Just simply give Kaminsky and maybe Carter’s minutes to Kelly.specialsauce wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 11:33 amOubres not the type to come in and try and blend.
