[Game] Kings @ Thunder - Sunday, Oct. 21 - 4 PDT

[Tetsujin]

Thunder are like the reverse pre Paul Rockets. Substitute repetitive threes for repetitive drive to hoop followed by falling to the floor. Equally as boring.

Most of their offensive sets can be described as random drives to the hoops mixed with random crap thrown at the hoop in the hopes Steven Adams will rebound it.

 

[gunks]

Wow. That's not fair. He hasn't been trash. Rebounds have been a poblem but he's done some good work out there too.

Yeah, but look how much better he's been playing since I posted that!

Science will prove the existence of the message board over harsh criticism reverse jinx one day... just maybe not in our lifetimes.

 

[SacTownKid]

Joerger bungled his rotations again. Fox is dead on his feet.

 

[SacTownKid]

But Fox refuses to die!

 

[Tetsujin]

Fox has taken the next step.

 

[Kingz19]

Bagley and Giles have both had gritty performances tonight

 

[Tetsujin]

Joerger's riding Fox like Thibs rode prime Rose.

 

[gunks]

Fox has taken the next step.

It's pretty nutty how good he looks after that shakey rookie season.

 

[dude12]

Bagley!!!! FromJJ

 

[Kingz19]

JJ having a good quarter

 

[Tetsujin]

Also, Bagley is gonna be a damn good player.

You'd better hope it doesn't end the same way...

 

[Kingz19]

Bail out call. Shumpert stopped him

 

[Tetsujin]

It's pretty nutty how good he looks after that shakey rookie season.

He's looked like the best PG from that draft this season.

19 year olds become 20 then 21.......he’s only going to get better with more strength and experience

 

[SacTownKid]

It's pretty nutty how good he looks after that shakey rookie season.

It's called clearing out the middle and let him him pick and roll his way to stardom. The early misuse might end up helping since they didn't continue down that same toilet any further.

 

[Tetsujin]

De'Aaron putting on ten pounds of muscle has changed his ceiling from Mike Conley to John Wall.

 

[Kingster]

Come on Kings. FINISH IT!

 

[sactowndog]

They're winning and they're adapting their game to "take what the defense is giving them." I do NOT want to see them taking three-point shots just to meet some statistical standard some people are trying to impose.

When you have 3 guys in the paint guarding the hoop and shooters standing alone at the three point line you aren’t taking what the defense is giving you.

 

[gunks]

19 year olds become 20 then 21.......he’s only going to get better with more strength and experience

And a dependable shot. Sky's the limit!

 

[Kangztillidie]

You'd better hope it doesn't end the same way...

Rose's game was very different, predicated on his amazing hops and athleticism. Fox is about speed and shifty body ckntrol.

 

[SacTownKid]

Coach starting to ride role players to the finish line again. How long has Buddy been sitting again? Give me a break.

 

[Tetsujin]

For all our bitching and moaning, JJ has looked good this half.

 

[Kingz19]

Westbrook is so boring lol

Diversify dude

 

[kingdivac]

The general idea was Fox was projected to be the most complete PG from the draft. I didn't care who the Kings drafted as long as either Fox or Smith Jr. Iliked Fox for his defensive potential at the time. I think Fox is the 2nd coming Michael Conley Jr. who is not too shabby Remembr Jr. had to improve his 3 pt shooting as well and did.

I think Fox is a more dynamic player than Conley though in terms of body control and explosiveness though, which elevates his potential beyond him though.

 

[Kingz19]

Have a night Shumpert

 

[kingdivac]

If Shumpert played this way every game, positional problem solved.

 

[sactowndog]

Nice pass Fox!!!

 

[Kingz19]

Buddy!
