Kings / Suns Game Thread

All these whistles are ridiculous

 

[Ozymandias]

TJ Warren is an extremely difficult matchup for our bigs at this point.

 

[Ozymandias]

Willie looks confident in that J!

When you really look at what's going on, this is all pretty bad.

- Bagley does not look good. He's putting in effort on defense at the rim, but his defensive knocks were defensive awareness. He was supposed to be gifted at the other end, but instead has total tunnel vision. Then they tried him at the SF and that was awful.

- Suns offense, thanks to their coach, is much smoother, easier and modern. They get open looks. Ayton is being fed buckets.

- For all the talk of the more open, fast offense, it's the same high post system as last year that clogs the lane.

- They have spent a ton of draft picks on big men and only Giles stands out. Meanwhile, nothing at the SF spot.

- The Doncic factor will eat the organization alive

After 2 games of watching Bagley during the tourney I was not too enthused with Bagley. I think there's a good chance you might be right with Doncic; I also liked Jackson Jr better than Bagley. You gotta give it the season, even though I agree. It's too bad, but likely the Kings are actually hedging their bets with Bagley and Giles together.

Harrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[biltalent]

Harry ja the only big I'm okay with at the high post.

 

[twslam07]

Willie needs a heat check from 15ft

 

[Suicide King]

I remember Troy Daniels lighting us up from three at least once recently.

 

[NewArena]

GILES is so much better than these other young bigs it’s hysterical. Just start him and get it over with

 

[kingdivac]

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.

I just railed about this yesterday.......FTs!!!!!! Ahhhh!

 

[joemama]

giles = beast, high bbiq
willie = soft like peach, out for number one ($$$)

It's going to be frustrating watching him crush in his 20 MPG off the bench, while everyone else sucks for the first 40 games till we decide to start him.

 

[NewArena]

Sure would be nice to see Fox play with Giles and Bagley

40 games is generous considering how blind and stubborn our head coach tends to be. Whew

 

[joemama]

how the hell was that a foul on harry?

 

[HndsmCelt]

NBA reffing...

 

[Kingsfan23]

I was the last card carrying member of Justin Jackson...

 

[joemama]

twice they run INTO harry
twice its is a foul on harry

The officiating is insane

 

[rosa u podne]

how the hell was that a foul on harry?

Referees are ridiculus even for preseason game.

 

[andjel]

so glad I got live stream. Reading these posts one would think that WCS is playing poorly.
Do not know about first half, but he IS the anchor on defense in 3rd. Every other attack there is WCS stopping Suns guard penetration and making sure that Ayton does not get an easy pass at the same time(since our guard got lost on the block) and was doing very good job at it.

By far the best big on Kings team in 3rd quarter.

 

[SCKingsfan]

I'm just going to say it - our #2 pick looks like crap tonight

 

[joemama]

officiating is so bad game clock was running during those last free throws

Not tolerable.. WCS shouldn’t be playing - Giles/Skal/Bjelica/Bagley..

The “earn it” thing can’t apply here or just fire Dave now

 

[SacTownKid]

What's most frustrating is to watch Bagley be a total afterthought offensively. C'mon, run something easy so he can get involved here. It's like they have no idea how to use him.

 

[upinsmoke]

I remember Troy Daniels lighting us up from three at least once recently.

Remember?! I still periodically wake up in cold sweats about it. That was the game cousins went for a million points but Daniels was chuckin 3's into the Pacific hitting the bottom of the net EVERYTIME.

 

[Ozymandias]

Like I said a few mins back TJ Warren is a very difficult matchup vs our bigs. He has a crafty way of scoring that even bigs who move well like ours do, can get caught. Thats whats happening.

 

[jcwkings]

If I had been in a coma for four years and woke up today I would say Bagley looks like a 2nd round project big.

Yeah, we can't afford to waste time on a guy who goes for 14 and 12 on 7-11 shooting in the first three quarters. We've got a lot of guys better than that!

 

[206Fan]

What's up with the crapting on WCS? He's got 14pts 12rebs 2asts on 7-11 shooting. Higher TOs, but that's what happens when Joerger wants to make him run the offense.
