[Game] Friday morning game

[Tetsujin]

Buddy gets fouled three times.

Indiana announcers: "I don't see it from that angle."

Buddy should never have the ball in his hands at the end of games. Makes dumb decisions

 

[rosa u podne]

Everybody new we need a tree, the drive made no sense, and he turned it over. Buddy play in crunch time should be just wait for a pass and shoot, max one separation drible.

 

[Agent23]

Thank goodness its only preseason lol

 

[rosa u podne]

In 5 minutes overtime, Bogie did not get a ball one single time. Hopefully, the new coach will figure it out soon.

Thank goodness its only preseason lol

I mean, were it not for overtime, Ariza would have played more minutes than De'Aaron.

Also TJ Warren was 5/6 from three which probably won't happen 99% of the time.

 

[rosa u podne]

Buddy had Bogie free in front of him and he opted to shoot turnaround shot over the extended hand of a defender.

I have to calm down it is presason

Fox looked rusty

Walton: note to self don't let buddy handle late.

I know it’s 1 game (and a preseason game at that) but I’ll say it...I’m still not sold on Bagley.

I see the talent, I just don’t see the translation to winning basketball in this day & age. A 6’8”, high usage big who struggles to stretch the floor while not being known for his defensive abilities does not give me a lot of hope. Doncic was there for the taking and would have been a great fit at SF/PF with our core.

Now we’ve tied up all of our cap space with the hopes that Bagley is one of our saviors. If Bagley doesn’t amount to much, Fox/Hield/Bogdanovic/Giles is not going to be enough potential star power to be a true contender in this league.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, continue to collect young assets and picks with your cap space until you know you have your stars. Here’s to hoping Bagley proves me wrong...

End of overreaction rant/

There is a time to make this argument (although I'm pretty sure the horse is well beaten and decomposed at this point now) but I'm not quite sure part way through the first game of preseason after an entire offseason of NBA twitter talking about how Bagley was one of the best players at Team USA camp is it.

Hence the “end of overreaction rant/“ part of my post

It is the first game of preseason with the entire roster only having been in Walton's system for three days and with most of the guys probably super jet lagged. It would probably be more concerning if the guys were all playing as if they were completely fine because it would mean the roster was all on crack.

 

[JCTNKINGFAN]

Well, it's a preseason game, but I can't help but compare it to the way they closed out games at the end of last season

 

[rosa u podne]

We did not see much of Dedmon. Holmes is active, fouls a bit too much. CJ doesn't have court vision, but plays defense. No rookies, hopefully, tomorrow.

Sheesh. I bet you couldn’t wait to post this all offseason long.

I hope you're wrong, too. But I have had a sneaking feeling all along that this might be the case. Don't get me wrong, I like Bagley, and he will be a good player, but Doncic was right there ...……..

It’s not too late to bandwagon on that 30 win Mavs team this year.

Why would I be waiting to post it?

Oh please, don't turn every thread about Bagley vs. Doncic. I don't say you are wrong, it is just not funny. Discuss Bagley on his own merit. Discuss Bagley vs Doncic when talking about FO, but please, not in a game thread.

Are we equating team wins to an individual now?

 

[burekijogurt]

got killed in the paint (62 pts) and outrebounded by 17. hopefully this is better tomorrow. we did shoot 41% from 3 though.

First, I was replying to someone else's post

Third it's a message board, the subject was brought up and I dang well will express my opinion pro or con on any post anytime I feel like it. Unless of course you are running the message board, now?

The Bagley over Doncic discussion still turns on the fit with Fox who is the most important player on the Kings. Could Fox and Doncic share ball handling and playmaking duties? Could Fox succeed playing off the ball much more often? Could Doncic be as successful on a faster paced team? All good questions that can be argued. But Bagley is a pretty seamless fit with Fox.

This will be debated forever but it seems an especially weird game to revisit it since I think the Kings really lost due to being thumped on the boards, an area that should be a strength for Bagley.

 

[L'Optimisme]

Fox/Buddy/Barnes/Bagley/Dedmon starting.

Just the starting lineup but the lack of Barnes at the 4 already proves Walton is possibly more aware of his roster than Joerger was lol

Funny thing is this lineup the most completely obvious decision to anyone.

 

[burekijogurt]

Bagley needs to concentrate on boxing out on defensive boards, and stop risking too much on offensive boards falling behind the play. needs reps defensively.

The end result has nothing to do with my post. I was focusing on the development of our players and focusing on what I saw from Bagley today (perimeter game, shooting, defense).

S'alright

 

[rosa u podne]

Discussing Bagley. I see him trying to fit in a flow of ofense. Much more passing, going for offensive rebounds, not sure if it is good or bad. I think a few times he was pushed with no calls.

 

[SLAB]

Is it too early for the “Fire Walton” thread?
