[Game] Kings vs Bucks 2/27- 7PT/10ET

[Kings_of_California]

Welp. We're down 11 at half. That sounds about right.

 

[Tetsujin]

Bad Bogi showed up in the second quarter.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Can’t defend the 3 and the perimeter defense sucks right mow

 

[jcwkings]

I'm not even mad, this Bucks team is really freaking good.

 

[luckytkp]

No shame in losing to the Buck. They are just that good.

 

[Ozymandias]

Our best wing defender has been placed on DJ Wilson btw. While Middleton bullies us with size

Well there's really no other option... DJ Wilson will bully whoever they switch onto him with size as well, and he can dribble the ball so it's just pick your poison with this the Kings lineup they have out there.. Wilson is 6'10 too and he's actually pretty explosive jumper, he is pretty strong too compared to like Bogdan, has to have 25lbs on him, that is brutal mistmatch trust me.


Joerger has pretty much shown his hand, we're gonna play smallball to try to win this game.. And Fox is gonna be extra aggressive..

 

[206Fan]

...so are we just not going to play defense tonight?

 

[1234kings]

Way to end the half Bogi...

 

[kingsboi]

Giannis has barely played thus far and the Bucks are getting what they want, when they want. Brewer ought to play more minutes, shooting be damned if this is the type of defense that's going to be on display

 

[SLAB]

I’m so sick of Bogi.

The Bucks are just to good anyways, so it doesn’t even matter.

 

[luckytkp]

No Burks tonight so far. I thought this would be the game where his size would help.

 

[Tizzy Flip]

This is a game that shows what happens when you have a softer starting center who is the most passive player out there. Bucks are driving at will even with Connaughton.... and no one on the team feels the need to send a message. We could use a Michael Smith or Brian Grant right now. WCS will never play that role

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings are playing relatively bad aside from Bagley, Harrison, and De'Aaron.

Bogi had a really good start on offense but cooled down/reverted to playing like post-Achilles Kobe at the end of the second quarter (Middleton kept attacking him on offense), Buddy was really really inefficient and playing too hyped for his own good, and Willie's second stint sorta ended with him forgetting to guard dudes beyond the there point line.

I don’t know man, aside from a couple lapses our effort and D haven’t been that bad. The Bucks are just on F-ing Fire.

Michael Smith would probably get destroyed in the modern NBA.

 

[NME]

The only certainties in life are death, taxes, and the Kings making a terrible turnover at the end of the half.

 

[SacTownKid]

If the Kings are going to concede the 3 point battle by this much, 10 free throws per 24 minutes of game time won't do it.

I’m with you on this. The Bucks are just playing insane bball

The thing is I think Bagley and Brewer could probably body up Wilson but they've got other guys to deal with.

 

[steelevt]

I thought we played pretty well overall. Being down by 11 is pretty disheartening. Just gotta stay within striking distance. We always have that ability to make a late run

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Michael Smith would probably get destroyed in the modern NBA.

Whatever. He’s 100x tougher than WCS. Even jack Cooley has more toughness in 1 finger than Willie ever will

Toughness isn't going to help guard dudes on the perimeter.

don't forget losing to the Clippers to that list of certainties

Good thing we don't play them until...oh, next game.

Our D has been horrible. Allowing open 3s, allowing their players to get all the way to the rim, and giving up 69pts in 1 half. Their players are getting to the rim at will with no one disrupting them. Teams don't score 69pts in 1 half unless it means the opposing team isn't defending them.

it's simply a precursor of what's to happen

couldn't agree more. Kings have to toughen up or the Bucks are going to blow them out in the third quarter and be done with it. They will go for the kill, you can bank on that.

The effort was alright but yeah, they are conceding those 3's and over helping. I would bet coach Bud in the next half will go to Giannis and wait for the double team and kick it out. I want to see what Barnes can do straight up with Giannis before the Kings watch this baloon to 25 points if the Bucks don't start missing these wide open 3's.

 

[Kings_of_California]

The Spurs won. Blazers won. Clippers are at the end of a tight game. If they win and we can't make a run at a win tonight, we are going to be in deep crap.

The Clipps are a veteran team playing solid ball. The Kings can't expect other teams to lose at this point.
