Everything Serge Ibaka

Why not get a head start on the rebuild then? I mean, if we know we're not going to compete in the next few years, (and let's be honest, we're not) why not get started on collecting cheap young assets?

Plus the idea of just generally improving the reputation of your franchise. We were an absolute abomination for 20 years to the point that retaining our own free agents for big money over the last few years was largely applauded by the outside as some type of monumental achievement. There is value in being good for a sustained period of time.

Agree. Being a good organization is also more than just wins and losses. They signed a guy who scouts college kids from SI and signed a lady from Toronto Star to be a PR department leader. They also signed new guys for analytics department and etc. They built the new training facility and we got Dleague team (and we weren't the last to do it) There's a lot of things that go into being a top tier organization.

if this keeps up you can shelve all this "ibaka is going to play the 5" talk. He doesn't even look like the best PF, let alone C, on the roster through preseason and last night (OG looked way better).

Don't know what his problem is but the most effort i saw from him last night was while whining about valanciunas stealing his rebound.

I didn't get to watch much of the game unfortunately, but I've read a few quips on the boards about Ibaka's attitude yesterday? Was it obvious on TV? Starting to be a bit concerning if it is true, after the training camp where he went rogue and just shot the ball at will, and also some rumors of attitude issue in Orlando as well.

The rebounding stealing thing was weird. I laughed my ass off, but still weird. Hope it's just in-game playfulness, and not a sign of a disgruntled player.

Ibaka got on JV for making him lose an assist too. He's probably messing around

Did anyone else notice that with just over 4 minutes left in the game, Ibaka was on the bench yelling at assistant coach Rex K. and slapping his wrist as if he was pointing to his watch. He was also making gestures up to the game clock as if he felt he should be subbed in already. And then a time out was called and everybody got up off the bench to huddle standing up and Ibaka stayed on the bench alone with his arms stretched out across the seats. This is definitely concerning to me. Ibaka has already come across as a bit of a me-first chucker.

I did not notice this. Jesus.

Why can't we have nice things?

[Deems]

It's been one game... calm down folks lol

This picture of Serge from the Star wasn't very flattering

This can't be real?

This can't be real

Sadly it is. I pointed it out in the game thread when it happened too.

I didn't notice, but it is concerning.

But why would Ibaka care to get back into a game that was already decided? He was eager to play garbage minutes? Doesn't make much sense.
