[Game] Kings @ Timberwolves - Monday, Feb. 25 - 5PT/8ET

[steelevt]

Willie just needs to concentrate on Def, reb, and alleyoops/drop off dunks. Stop trying to drive. Bjeli needs to shoot. Stop trying to drive. The rest of the team just needs to stop turning over the ball and play like they did the last 3 games.

It’s good 6 games determines all you need to know about a successful & already established vet player.

It’s all been leading up to this. These 6 games are the culmination of Barnes career. Not those years as a starter in a championship team and a 73 win team. Or the years he spent as the number one option for Dallas. It these 6 games and the verdict is in...he was always a 20 percent shooting nonfactor.

Not a fan of the Yogi, Bogi, n Burks second unit. All three need the ball in their hands to be their most effective.

 

[burekijogurt]

The lineups with Bjelica in them were +1. we are down 10.

I needed that during this frustrating game. Thanks. haha.

My mistake. Just the softest defense ever played. Shouldn’t have allowed him into the keys

Careful now or you might get some people mad who claim WCS is such a great outside threat

 

[Tetsujin]

Pull your head out of your ass Willie.

 

[SLAB]

I have zero faith tonight.

 

[SLAB]

Games like this are so disheartening... after such a good win, they show up and play like this?

This isn’t a playoff team performance.

I understand your frustration, but I think in that instance Deng just made a tough 5 footer.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I have some work to do in the basement theater. Might throw the game on down there or might just write this off. Me of little faith. But it pretty much took a nosedive once I flipped it on so maybe I'll unjinx it.

 

[Sac.Kings]

I can hardly believe what I’m watching. Why are we sleepwalking through this? I haven’t been this disappointed in a long time.

 

[SacTownKid]

OK, look at KAT. He's allowed to to rove the paint and the Kings are still trying to force it inside.

 

[Tetsujin]

How Willie manages to keep losing his man when his man is the best player on the other team is infuriating in every sense of the word.

 

[Tizzy Flip]

WCS trying to take a charge is tragic comedy

 

[burekijogurt]

WCS did not touch him.

 

[Kingz19]

Willie wants out

 

[SLAB]

WTF you doing, Willie?

 

[Kingsfan23]

I don’t want to hear about this big lineup again

I don’t want WCS even as a bench player next year

Tv off

 

[Tetsujin]

Willie having an epic night.

Still not answered, what you would do differently.

 

[G_M]

People still believe Kanter is a worse defender than Willie?

 

[SLAB]

Still not answered, what you would do differently.

Not backpedal as Deng casually drives to within 5 feet of the hoop. Plant down, keep him out of the key. Make him take a jumper.

It shouldn’t have been that easy to get into the key with 6 (?) seconds left in the half.

 

[VF21]

Still not answered, what you would do differently.

Maybe because it's old news and we've got a game (well, kinda) going on?

 

[Tetsujin]

De'Aaron is so good.

 

[burekijogurt]

WCS in foul trouble but I think the 4th foul was phantom.

 

[Suicide King]

Careful now or you might get some people mad who claim WCS is such a great outside threat

I really like Willie but he is having a bad game. Some games like this one he gets into foul trouble so easily. I can't remember seeing him as mad as he was over that last foul.

But yeah, bad game for my guy tonight.

 

[SLAB]

Was worried Giles was going to walk into a stupid foul. Stay on the floor young man

 

[VF21]

Looks like it's gonna be up to Fox to save the day. I just wish I could see a bit more energy from everybody else. Maybe now?
