[Game] Kings v. Jazz - Wednesday, Oct. 17 - 7 PDT

[kingdivac]

2nd Quarter was the broken egg. Bench abused. They get some credit for not folding....but for a season opener at home - a disappointment.

If the King's brought tgis much defense intensity throughout the whole game it wouldn't even be close right now.

Whether we win or lose, I wouldn't call this game a disappointment.

JJ. My man

 

[Hoovtrain]

off to thr Astros Red Sox game. Fun game though everyone

 

[miltonap]

Fire Justin Jackson

I guess Dave never forgave Frank for the three at the end of the first quarter

and he got angry at Bjelica for that 3 to cut it to 6

 

[Kingz19]

Kings didn’t look so bad.

I think our bench will be better most nights, maybe starters not as good as they were tonight though

 

[dude12]

Just scored 117 against maybe the best defensive team in the nba....took them down to the wire. There is a lot to like here.

 

[lawlman91]

good game. everyone played well

 

[Livinthedream]

I thought the Kings played well until I came to the forum to discuss. I guess I was wrong.

That was a fun game. We weren't supposed to win but had a chance at the end.

 

[sactowndog]

No he doesn’t....JJ misses

It’s still the right play.

Where was this tank strategy last year!!! haha.

I don't know weather to be really impressed with the Kings or really nervous for the Jazz. This game was not what I expected out of either team.

Good luck until we play you guys again. It feels like this is a good game to build on for a young team.

 

[TaxMan]

I love the effort on this one and happy we were not down 45-10, but 30+ minutes for Jackson is inexcusable. If he’s not hitting his floater or open 3’s (which he never does) then he is a net nothing on the floor. Doesn’t do anything.

 

[sactowndog]

Kings had some good points. Hard to understand why Jackson played 30 minutes.

And the team finally showed what it can be with a more fitting style of play. They still need to focus on getting away from the lower yield shots but this is a style of ball that will elevate the teams top players.

 

[miltonap]

Why does Justin Jackson even play? What does he provide ? His defense is garbage I don't know what coach sees in him

 

[Amiga]

Bagley should have gotten a lot more playing time.

Both.

But I wouldn't worry about the Jazz specifically. I would say if the Kings come out this well prepared in every game the rest of the league should have the same concern. The Kangz tonight can beat the best teams that dont show enough effort. It's a long season tho and we just got started. Hopefully, that effort is the norm and not the exception...

 

[Kangztillidie]

Bagley should have gotten a lot more playing time.

Yes well he got Joeger'd.

 

[TaxMan]

Holy hell. Just saw the +/- in the box score.

 

[SacTownKid]

Bagley should have gotten a lot more playing time.

Over who though? I think they have the benefit of time with both Harry and Bagley. Willie getting his minutes cutto about 30 and giving those to Bagley could do it.

 

[Gliesian]

My eyeball test says we shot mid range jumpers and they shot 3 pointers. Not the current meta and needs to be fixed next.

Celtics might have something to say about that.

 

[jiimbob]

I'm just going off the stats but the starting 5 were all in the +. Add Bogdan to the mix and it should be promising.
I must ask why did JJ get more minutes than both Bjelli and Bagley.

Jackson. The way yogi played Ingles, I’m not sure they couldn’t have gone 3 gaurd lineup all night. Giles looked overwhelmed, but I thought bagley was solid in his minutes. Willie played a great game, but he seemed gassed at the end. Not sure he can be a 35+ minute guy and still be effective.

 

[kingsboi]

Bagley should of played more I agree but I see why Jackson played so much, another floor spacer out there who can't space the floor over Bagley who can't shoot outside 10 feet...but still >_>

 

[burekijogurt]

ok, we took the second best defensive team down to the wire?

 

[Gliesian]

Also I dislike Shumpert. Jackson has 1 more month to prove himself or he's finished. Everyone else on the squad: WOW
