[Game] Kings @ Mavericks - Friday, Oct. 20 - 5:30PT

[Larry89]

Zach fills the void in my heart when I watch games that Boogie left when he got traded.

 

[Vladizzle]

Not a fan of Randolph being our "Go To Guy" he is average at best these days. I mean it's Harrison Barnes

Dave got too nostalgic here, bailed out by hustle plays. I'll take it, but that last salty jumper was not cool. I'd want George pick and rolls or something to start.

 

[VF21]

On track for 50.

Well, at least 41.

 

[Larry89]

One alarming thing I've seen is our scoring troubles, having a hard time getting to 90, and we still have slow starts.

 

[Vladizzle]

Great road win all things said. Encouraging to see us finish like that with Hill operating.

Yeah if Zach isn't gonna back someone down I'd rather he pass. I don't want a contested Randolph 18 ft jumper in the final 30 seconds

It's Dave unfortunately. He's one of the worst offensive coaches in terms of scoring tallies, but he brings good defense, which is great for the youth we have to develop.

Doesn’t matter if the other team scores less than you does it?

Didn't we get to 100 the other night? And lost. I will take 93 and a win over 100 and a loss. San Antonio haven't reached 100 in 14 years lol

 

[Tetsujin]

And also, that’s why you don’t just dump a guy like George Hill.

 

[Vladizzle]

Doesn’t matter if the other team scores less than you does it?

In a single game no. In the wide scope of things, it can

 

[andjel]

I do not enjoy Randoph iso play, but to be fair, Hill and him worked great together for that last hoop.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Now the only thing left to make this a great day is to watch the Pelicans lose and Cuz to get another T.

Looks like one of those things just happened.

 

[Blob]

Wasn't pretty but we'll take it win is a win.

 

[Blob]

He can't catch the ball....he misses point blank tap ins. I can't take it anymore.

He's a joke!

 

[NewArena]

With Fox on the floor, we were the better team. And that feels INCREDIBLE

I already trust him more with the ball than I ever did cousins or Tyreke Evans

 

[gunks]

And also, that’s why you don’t just dump a guy like George Hill.

As someone who's been casually advocating ditching the vets, I concur.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Skal only played 13 minutes tonight so Randolph should be able to take a lighter load tomorrow.

We were scrappy tonight.

 

[VF21]

In a single game no. In the wide scope of things, it can

Wait. WHAT? Isn't the whole object of the game to make sure the other team scores less than you every single night?

 

[VF21]

We were scrappy tonight.

That's a good point. We're playing Denver tomorrow on the second night of a back-to-back at altitude. Never a good thing, so having rested kids could pay dividends.

 

[Joshoua]

I shouldn't have ever criticized Vlade for his signing of the veterans. Now we all know why....

to make the Kings watchable! Our young guys are developing while learning to win and play as professionals

No disrespect, but wasn’t that obvious you just can’t throw young guys and say go play they need leadership

 

[Larry89]

Doesn’t matter if the other team scores less than you does it?

Yes, exactly. That's why you have to score more points.

 

[Blob]

And Koufos isn't looking as bad as some were moaning, either.

No one is moaning. They are just speaking the truth! The guy moves like the Tin Man who needs oil in his joints. Premium high viscosity.

Koufos had a Red Carpet Path from the free throw line to the basket. Any big with skill would take one power dribble and slam that baby home...

He lets the ball squirt out of his hands like with someone foreign entity took remote control of his limbs.....he's pathetic!

 

[VF21]

Is it that obvious? Yep. Has that dissuaded some around here for wanting the rooks out there right off the bat? Nope.

 

[Vladizzle]

I think you missed my point.

Yes, some were moaning. You may not agree but that's not gonna change my perception. I'd just like to see one year where people didn't feel the need to find a player to aim all their vitriol at. He's not pathetic and he's nowhere near as bad as some would have you think. But, as always, there has to be someone to be on the receiving end of the hate.

 

[VF21]

I think you missed my point.

I hope so.

 

[Kingz19]

Nice win. Nice balance. Nice teamwork

And boy, isn’t it nice to have a big man to throw the ball to at the end of the game?

 

[Vladizzle]

I hope so.

In the scope of a season or long term you need to be developing a decent offense too...holding teams under 90 is great and all, and shows good defense, but it simply isn't going to work like that every night unless you're a GOAT defensive team. Scoring less than 90 isn't a viable enough offense plain and simple. So we need to score more hopefully after a few more games to show signs of a decent offense too.

Unless we are really a GOAT defensive team than forget everything I said.

We just played our SECOND game of the season. I think it's incredibly premature to be talking about viable offenses. We haven't even seen Bogs on the court yet - and I fully expect him to be a valuable part of our offensive schemes. I'm just advising a little bit of patience to let things develop.
