[Game] Kings v. Heat - Friday, 2/8 - 7PT/10ET

[Kingz19]

I bash Willie a lot but he stepped up at the end

Yeah, I sniped that Richardson was a better rim protecter than him and then he comes in and blocks 3 shots in the 4th alone.

 

[steelevt]

Damn I love Fox...but Buddy trying real hard to be that side chick.

 

[allrightythen]

It seemed like it took most of the game for the Kings to believe that they had it in them to do it; then just said screw it and took control at the end.

 

[TaxMan]

Somehow, Bogi with a decent looking line when it was all said and done. 16 point, 5 boards, 4 assists, 2 steals. Not a good shooting night but still only one miss away from 50% shooting on the night.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Fox didn’t get a lot of calls tonight but his shooting has definitely regressed significantly. Not sure what’s happening.

Yea I'm not really sure. The only 100% certain thing on this team right now is Hield.

 

[TaxMan]

If we can get solid D out of willie, I will take 7 point, 7 boards, 1 steal, 3 blocks. He was uninspired for the vast majority of the game, but came up huge in the last 5 minutes.

Reason #612 why I like Dave Joerger:

Female reporter - How does a win like this address the worries that were being expressed about chemistry with the trades? (Paraphrased)

Joerger - I don't know what you're talking about. There aren't any concerns inside the building.

haha im in the boat! But for me the side chick battle is between...... buddy bogi bagley giles and really quickly Barnes!

Fox is tired. He might not have played enough to really hit the wall his rookie year but he's been bashing up against it the last month or so off an on. When he gets tired you can tell because he forces it into the paint. I want to see this team defer a little more to Barnes. Once they realize they have a player they can iso it will take some pressure off of Fox to do it. Bogdan too. Bogdan is so good in pick and roll he needs to force feed himself.

I guess shooters need to keep shooting and the shots eventually drop

 

[est.1999]

19-2 run to end the game!!

I loved that! he said it so seriously too.

 

[Entity]

Miami is a great defensive team. It wasn’t until we decided to play some defense when things turned around

The only 100% certain thing on this team right now is TEAM.

Also, he mentioned some of the stuff we noticed - notably the bad matchup that was Marvin and J Johnson and such.... and how they finally figured out how to adjust to it. Glad we have a coach who can identify stuff like this, even if I can't understand some of the decisions he makes.

 

[TaxMan]

There was that point at about the 7 minute mark that we had it down to 5 and then the heat pushed it back up to 10. Seemed like that was it.

Considering he just got here, I think he and the team are already showing that this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Pushing the ball off turnovers. Hopefully they learned a lesson.

 

[ESP47]

That was ugly but the guys that struggled a ton in the first 3 quarters really stepped up in the 4th quarter. Swarming defense there at the end.

Solid debuts for the new guys, especially Burks. Seemed like he barely touched the ball but when he did he made things happen.

 

[Livinthedream]

I’ll never understand how some of you can turn off the game when things get rough.

I have to turn it off to test the theory that it's my fault we're losing and if I stop watching they'll play better.

Science.

 

[Blastoff]

he is a random bench player though. Just because he had high accolades in College doesn't mean that makes him someone worth while. Do you remember a player named Adam Morrison?

And yet it wouldn't be that weird for Wade to have a Morrison jersey either.

 

[Kangztillidie]

I hate these kind of games where we are getting our butts kicked until the last 5 mins.. UGH!!!

You wanted Trae Young and to trade Fox. Apparently you wanted 60 games of us getting blown out?

 

[Blob]

I for one am very glad it's Dave Joerger making those decisions and not you.

The lineup we started the game with that included Barnes and Bjelica didn't work. Just as I suspected. We are not going to see a lot of those guys on the floor together. We abandoned that lineup to start the second half, with Bogi replacing Bjelica, and went with the lineup I wanted to see. We won the game down the stretch again with the same lineup of Budy Fox Barnes Bogi and Willie. I knew what the coach should do before he did but he figured it out fast enough.

 

[VF21]

OMG. The same stupid female reporter jut asked Harrison Barnes the exact same question about chemistry. I am embarrassed for my entire gender.

 

[Blob]

I was with Blob until the Harrison as a PF thing. No thank you,.. I hope and believe he was brought here to be our primary legitimate not out of place SF.

He can play 4 against many teams.

Oh whatever... I certainly hope the "I" key on your computer/phone never wears out.

 

[Sac.1989]

Famous victory. Trailed from the start but executed down the stretch and got stops when needed.

Great team win, contributions all around.

Looking forward to clobbering PHX after the last blimp against them

 

[NME]

Especially if your goal is to collect jerseys from dudes with epic hair.

 

[Ozymandias]

"Concerns about chemistry" is such a funny thing, do u hear the guys on this team with microphones in their faces???? we have very little to be concerned about --- vlade said its his top priority when putting a team together and that is evident.
