[Game] Kings vs Clippers 3/1- 7PT/10ET

[kingsboi]

Bogdanovic can't shoot it into the ocean, yet you keep him out there so he can shoot 2-16 or 3-17

RIP 2018-19 season.

Heal up Bags. We need you for the future.

 

[kingsboi]

Yup. We’re done.

they've been done the moment Bagley went down with the injury. I stress it over and over, he's the Kings third most important player this season.

 

[SacTownKid]

Uhh...no he hasn't. Guys aren't respecting his shot and he's not taking or making many 3's. So the spacing and dynamic isn't the same at all compared to before.

He's not taking many shots in general. And from what I read that was kind of the intent. I still want to see him more involved but that means drawing up more plays for him.

 

[steelevt]

Seems like every lose ball goes the other way.

 

[SacTownGrantFan]

Give me Mason again.

i dont think mason is an answer at pg.. plus it seems maybe his attitude is checked out from the team..

 

[Tetsujin]

I realize Willie is a better defender than Harry at this point in their careers but why in the name of the lord did we sub him in?

Our entire offense aside from when he has the ball has been crap this half.

 

[NME]

Came out pathetic in the big moment. Out efforted and out coached.

 

[The Effort Police]

Enough with the small ball crap. Barnes isn't horrific at the 4, but Bogdan at the 3 is and it doesn't work. I'm assuming Vlade acquired Barnes to play 3, not for Joerger to shoehorn him in at the 4 a la Jackson.

 

[Tetsujin]

The fatalism in here is stifling. Jesus guys, calm down.

 

[206Fan]

Can someone tell me what's wrong with Bogdan? I refuse to to accept that our most reliable and consistent player from last year just turned into a puddle... we don't need Bogdan to score 18+ a night. We just need a solid all-around Bogdan... which we just haven't been getting.

 

[theclash4u5]

The frustrating part about this and the other losses is that we have better talent than the Clippers, and they are going to be why we will miss the playoffs

So if he's there only for defense, then he's making the team worse. Because at least Beli spaced the floor and provided okay defense. Harrison may be more versatile defensively, but if his presence breaks the space and pace while leading to less frontcourt presence, then its a net loss overall. And we are seeing the Kings lose and not get boards to facilitate their transition game which was what made them win games in the first place.

To be fair, Bogdan at any position has been a crapshoot for most of the season.

Need stops

But yea the Small ball lineups just don't seen to work.

 

[Ozymandias]

Willie with 2 big contests on gilgegous alexander and harrell at the rim in quick succession.

 

[sactowndog]

The guards (mostly Bogi and Buddy) have both really struggled on defense since the ASB. Barnes and Brewer and to an extent Willie have masked some of the mistakes but it's starting to catch up with the team here.

Barnes mostly can’t throw the ball into ocean. The team had good chemistry with Bogi coming off the bench. Joeger changed it up with two guys not shooting well. The line-up has been atrocious tonight.

Put the blame where it belongs, on the coach who made this stupid change.

 

[TaxMan]

A couple things. No Bagley is a killer. We saw the same thing when he was out for a couple weeks before, yet at that time we were less dependent on him than we are now.

Second, the Clippers are our kryptonite. I thought we could push through that with emotion of this game, but they really just have our number.

maybe due to "load management"?

 

[Tetsujin]

Willie keeps overplaying the PnR here.

Hey, I'm all for Bjelica being in the lineup and they should play together but if it's one for the other I can't see how Barnes' defense hasn't been a major positive.

The Kings have turned away from the 3 more than before. They can't make up the difference and usually going small means you increase your shooting capabilities. That's not how Joerger has run his small units at all. It's like the smaller they get the less shooting oriented they get.

 

[SLAB]

Not dead yet somehow.

 

[Ozymandias]

Huge steal Bogey!!! good work!!

 

[Kingz19]

Here comes the tease

 

[sergmatt]

The thing is that they're not more talented. Who's their #1 option? Gallo. Who's their #2 option? Lou-Will. Who's their #3 option? Shamet. We are the more talented team... but we're not a better basketball team which just sucks.

That's what I said. Kings have more talent but Clippers play better

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Don’t get your hopes up guys.

 

[Tetsujin]

Well well well

 

[NME]

Well, here's the late miracle run. I hope they have it in them to finish the job, but because otherwise it just makes it doubly painful.

 

[FoxRocketFan]

Oooooo
Back in it
