I know. Even though we all hate Fisher, I still couldn’t like Barnes after that. If Jae is like an angry rhino, Barnes is like an annoying hyena.

Not to take away from the thread, but I really like those Hickory jerseys for the Pacers, a lot.
Boj looks like he was in that movie, lol.

I'm thinking of switching this up to maybe be a little more interesting. It might be fun to do gifs. Which means I have to add Quin Snyder to the schedule.
But tomorrow will be Mike Conley day. Could do highlights or gifs. In case I get distracted and don't get around to it in the morning I'll post one gif for now.

Signing Mudiay is the only move we made this off-season that I didn't like. He's just been such a negative player his whole career. Poor defender and shooter and turns the ball over way too much. I hope the coaching staff can improve his game but if we have injuries I really cringe at the thought of him having to play significant minutes.

I do wish we had a real second-string PG. Lin would have even been nice.
Mudiay is a guy who might be able to punish certain matchups. I guess Exum would be one of those guys too.

Emmanuel Mudiay
Inconsistent and potential are written all over in his stats, but neither of them have 10 letters. Intriguing has 10 letters which kind of describe the player. Brilliant has 9 letters and that's what people will call Zanic and Lindsey if Mudiay works out.
As an 18-year old he played 10 games for Guangdong Southern Tigers where he averaged 18-6-6.
In his NBA debut he had more than 10 turnovers, but he also scored 17 pts and dished out 9 assists on his way to defeating Houston. He faced Harden and the rockets twice in his first month where Mudiay averaged 10 pts, 10 assists and 10 turnovers.
He has 10 career games over 25 points.
Last season with the knicks he had 3 games where he attempted 10 free throws, he is a career 74% ft shooter.
He has 10 career games where he attempted at least 10 2pt shots, but failed to score more than 10 pts. Random jazz fact Mark Eaton is one of only 3 players to block 10 shots in the playoffs.
He has played against the Jazz 11 times, attempting a 3pt shot in 10 of those games. Last season he was 1-7 in 3pt attempts against the Jazz.
Mudiay ranks as a 10 on my unofficial preseason interesting backstories rankings.
from Wikipedia: "Mudiay was born on March 5, 1996 in Kinshasa, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) to Jean-Paul Mudiay and Therese Kabeya. His father died when he was a toddler, and the family was tremendously troubled by the Second Congo War. He lived under the constant threat of the instability in the region, while his mother grew only enough coffee and vegetables to support their needs. In 2001, Kabeya and her sons sought asylum in the United States and eventually escaped. He primarily spoke French upon arriving in the United States, but his older brother said, "We felt like Americans."

I say we skip day 8 and go right to day 7!
Day 8 stinks. I looked 8 times for an update only to be disappointed. I 8 8 servings of funeral potatoes and jello while waiting and went #2 4 times (4x2=8) to make Wes proud.
I looked at a thread that was started by and had 8 straight posts by Lord Bullington while waiting.
I should wait a few minutes to post this at 8, but I won’t.
I’m now ir8 and refuse to wait for 8.
