[Game] Kings v. Thunder - Thursday, Feb. 22 - 7 PT

[VF21]

Z-Bo looks like he spent the whole All-Star break at the Cheesecake Factory.

 

[fansinceday1]

I don't care how annoying it is that I'm harping on joeger. Damn it!!! Skal's in a groove and he sits him!!!!! I'm done with joeger and his stupid set rotations.

 

[VF21]

I want to see Skal and WCS out there together. Maybe Z-Bo will wear himself out by half-time.

Oh no. He's scoring like crazy. No way joeger pulls him.

 

[allrightythen]

Oh Jesus Christ are you kidding???
Why sit skal!?!?!?!?!?

And Leave Z-Bo in . Is Willie sick too?

 

[allrightythen]

MORE SKALL!!!

 

[VF21]

Ohhhh. My bad. It's Jerami Grant on the Thunder and Jerian Grant on the Bulls.

 

[allrightythen]

I don't think it should be a foul if you get a guy in the air and then jump into him. Maybe I'm weird but that call bugs the heck out of me.

 

[fansinceday1]

Hey hey, he's back in!

 

[biltalent]

There it is. WCS/Skal Check-in

Ask and ye shall receive.

 

[VF21]

Oh good. Skal out there with WCS, Bogs, Temple and Jackson. I can get behind this lineup.

Go KINGS!

 

[thingfish]

Poise.. and not the pads kind!

 

[Gliesian]

This is about the time OKC starts playing dirty

 

[biltalent]

First possession, good defense Skal and WCS, Bogi beautiful transition set-up for Temple. 56-60.

They've talked for years about that foul call. Basically, if you get the defender to leave his feet, it's fair game. What I used to hate was the move Reggie Miller used to make - extending his leg to intentionally get fouled.

 

[fansinceday1]

If we won with this lineup I would be 100% on board.
Let this set log some heavy minutes.

I remember when they made that leg kick thing an offensive foul. I feel like it should only be a foul if the offensive player is going straight up with his shot. If he's moving forward then he's responsible for the contact, not the defender. I'm old school though. Think Mickey from the Rocky movies without the smoker's voice and raw meat.

 

[burekijogurt]

Is Skal taller than he used to be?

 

[VF21]

Watching Bogs and WCS just makes me smile.

 

[biltalent]

Steven Adams is giving it to Willie, but I Love that Willie is staying aggressive. Attacked him there, got the Foul call

 

[fansinceday1]

Willie having one of those games.

I totally agree about defining that foul differently. I guess I'm hoping that they'll eventually address it, just as they did the Reggie Miller move.

 

[allrightythen]

Watching Bogs and WCS just makes me smile.

The first offensive possession of every game should be a WCS/Bogs pick-n-roll. Get Willie's energy going early.

 

[VF21]

Darn. I would have LOVED to see Bogs' shot go in over Paul George.

All things considered, I am not unhappy with what I've seen thus far.

 

[VF21]

Maybe he's got new shoes?

 

[burekijogurt]

Maybe he's got new shoes?

he is definitely playing taller.

I think he's obviously feeling better. Maybe letting the shoulder take the time to heal made the difference? He does look like he's standing up straighter.

 

[fansinceday1]

Grant mentioned frank was on restricted minutes. Hope he get a little time in the 2nd half.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Well that got exciting quick!
