Kings / Suns Game Thread

When you go over the back of your own teammates to steal theirs
or you are wide open under the basket you get a few sometimes.

Bagley is fighting for boards GOING AFTER boards.
Willie does not

He now has 11 to lead both teams at halftime. Is he still stealing teammates rebounds?

 

[HndsmCelt]

I'm almost puzzled how we got the lead, but I can't say I'm upset! all in all not a bad showing on the defensive end

 

[Ozymandias]

Fox looked like the best player on the floor in that half...

 

[burekijogurt]

WCS shot 50%(4/8) and got 11 boards, he is not THAT bad...

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Considering the Suns are beating us in FT attempts 27-7, I think having a lead at halftime is not so bad. Yogi looks very steady.

 

[biltalent]

Kings starting two bigs - bad offense
Reaction? Hey, lets play three bigs! - bad offense
Reaction? Hey, lets play 4 bigs! - bad offense
Then: Kings play one big - get one good shot after another, take the lead.

Help me, is it really so hard to see that? Its going one since one year now.

some of you are acting ridiculous about Willie. Dude has 8pts 11reb at half and you act like he is sitting in the corner stacking bb’s. You may not like him or you may want another guy playing. But stop looking foolish

If buddy gets it going it might be a nice night.

As a 2 Guard. Looks horrible as a point. The ball is going to need to be in Bogi and Yogi’s hands in the half court. But yes Fox had a nice step back 3

I don't understand why they didn't pick Doncic. It will leave me scratching my head for all eternity.

The rebounding has been mostly "luck" to this point and he's getting absolutely whipped on defense by Ayton. Activity on offense has been good though.

No he is all alone like everyone is telling you.

He looks lost. He looks slow.
He has gotten beat off the dribble by everyone I have seen (that went against him) including Dragan Bender.
Ariza drove right past him
Ayton clowned him
Some rookie took it to him.
Dragan, brad miller speed walked by him to lay it in.

*** but yeah he grabbed a few meaningless rebounds in a preseason game****

Willie is out for number 1, that is it.

I'm glad there is only rebounding and no other aspect of the game.

Defense was pretty bad. Can you see the stream?

 

[bubulina]

Reading the comments this is what I get: we suck and Suns know how to play. Then I'm checking the score. What the hell is going on? Why so much negativity???

Pretty cool to have the lead when nobody but yogi really is having their A game

 

[jcwkings]

Bogi is really missed, particularly in the half court sets. He's a guy that can get the team a good shot more often than not. Doncic would have been the same.

Suns actually really suck outside of Ayton and whatever is left of Trevor Ariza.

The preseason is where you test different lineups. A win or loss doesn't matter here.

 

[Kingsfan23]

I wish Yogi didn’t play Fox’s position

 

[NewArena]

Can someone explain why we’re so attached to the high post offense crap? It’s so bizarre

 

[Ozymandias]

Josh Jackson looks good. /shrug

 

[The_Jamal]

I'm all for testing different Lineups.

I'm not for playing 4 bigs for like 4+ minutes on the floor together.

 

[SacTownKid]

The Kings in pick and roll are an entirely different team... still. Fox got going because they stopped the typical garbage from last season and went down the easy road. They should do both but they need to flip the focus around the other way from the start.

 

[joemama]

willie is not strong enough to over power ANY bigs on their team.
He has not used his speed to get past anyone.

He is not using ANYTHING for his advantage.

Incredibly slow tyson chandler and Dragan bender stroll by him with ease.
What happened to him being able to defend????

 

[sactowndog]

Too early to see

He has gotten beat off the dribble by everyone I have seen (that went against him) including number 35, who I"ve never even heard of.
Ariza drove right past him
Ayton clowned him
Some rookie took it to him

I’m watching it. I see rebounds just like every other Big in the NBA if you are gonna rag on a guy for getting rebounds without contest. I mean what’s he supposed to do? I think your reaching

 

[DesertFox]

Playing all these bigs, and to think, Zbo, Kosta, and Bjelica haven't even sniffed the court yet.
Maybe Joeger is telling Vlade to make a move or go jump off a cliff.

yeah this is why I think Bogdan will be starting at SG while Buddy comes off the bench. We need a strong playmaker next to Fox

 

[Kingsfan23]

Skal/JJ are just going to continue to be hollow, regardless of my continued optimism in them..

 

[Capt. Factorial]

OK, but that lineup lasted like a minute and Joerger killed it after two turnovers in two possessions.
