He deserves one too!

Any questions?

 

[SLAB]

Nope. He’s won me over.

YOGI YOGI YOGI

 

[KestrelKing]

No questions at all. Without his performance we may not have won tonight.

It’s great to see different players stepping up. This is a true team!

 

[steelevt]

We don’t need to trade for a back up point guard. We got YOOOGIII FAAAARRRELLLLL!!!

 

[LoungeLizard]

Yogi is good for a handful of games each season where he is hotter than hell itself. This was one of those.

 

[kingsboi]

the Bulldog with two consecutive solid outings....keep bringing the heat

 

[kman711]

This guy is Uber confident with his shot and it seems to always fall. Big buckets when we need them too! What a stud backup PG

 

[The Hammer]

I'm on Team Yogi for sure. He's the Bobby Jackson of this team.

Yogi was the one who managed to ward off that late Spurs comeback. He was key.

Spurs were creeping hard and if Yogi didn't go into turbo mode it could have been mid single digits with a minute or two to go and then it's anybody's ball game. I got worried for a minute there.

Yea I saw the Spurs making a run so I got up and paused the TV to give myself a break.

Then I resumed and realized Yogi had it under control, then I just sat back down on my couch.

Loved it when the fans were chanting Yogi.

Very solid game management there by you.

Me too and that chant is brand spanking new and I love it. I was there when the Wallace chants started (I actually literally started it myself). Special player chants do wonders for the whole fan-player environment. It's kind of a magic thing that doesn't happen anywhere outside of sports. If I'm the Kings I'm looking for ways to do more cool stuff like that but you kinda gotta let it be natural. Bet it really makes you feel great as a player too.

 

[FoxOnTheRun]

Remind again why people keep saying we need a backup pg? Yogi has been solid as hell for us all year. He's a strong, scrappy competitor who can shoot. Love what this guy brings off the bench.

 

[Cojc]

This is one of the two guys who decided to come on board during the off season and Vlade knew what he was doing when he signed them. Sometimes we expect to much from them but when they deliver it shows that they saw something in our team and wanted to be part of it.

Thank you guys.

I’m was disappointed when he wasn’t playing early in the season and now I’m even more disappointed after seeing how he’s performing since given the opportunity. But I guess it just took Coach a long time to figure it out for whatever reason. At least he’s got it going now and the team is winning.

I do not agree that the Kings' greatest need is a competent back-up point guard. They have one named Yogi.

 

[Sac.1989]

I have been surprised that he hasn't gotten consistent minutes. He can flat our score and should have always been above Frank Mason in the pecking order. I agree we dont need a back up point guard. We have Yogi and Bogi

I tend to agree with you on that. What I've heard from those who want Lin is that Yogi is too streaky and is not a playmaker. Also concern about who replaces Fox when he (Fox) is out for any length of time. I don't think playmaking was one of Bobby Jackson's gifts. And we forgave him for his streaky shooting because he played great D. I think Yogi is - potentially - in that category.

Yogi is not a bad player. He's a solid backup to Deaaron Fox. Kings doesn't need another PG to back up Deaaron Fox.

I think the only gripe with Yogi is he's more of a combo guard than a point guard. Real solid scorer, not all that great at setting up his teammates. Bogie is taking on a lot of the backup facilitating responsibilities and it's just not quite the right way to use him. I don't know if it has any effect on his recent struggles but ideally you'd want him as the secondary ball handler next to a legitimate point guard. The Kings are having to use him as the primary ball handler with Yogi as the secondary ball handler and that's just not quite the most efficient way to run an offense.

Bagley and Giles having a lot of 1 on 1 success helps minimize that.

 

[NME]

Yogi's name has become Sacramento's answer to Jacksonville's DUUUUVAAAAL chant.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Loved it when the fans were chanting Yogi.

My wife and I kept giggling every time they did it. We loved it! I honestly don't recall Moak and the crowd doing that before this past game. Was this the 1st time or am I just lame?

I first heard it during the Hawks game broadcast.
