[Game] Knicks at Kings, Friday Dec. 13, 7 PM PT/10 PM ET

[Kings_of_California]

I'm usually all for giving players time to figure it out, but from watching Kevin Knox plenty, he just looks like a bust to me. He can't shoot.

 

[Tetsujin]

Much like last year, Bogi follows up a game winning shot with some absolutely putrid basketball.

 

[fnordius]

Fortunately, the Knicks cannot rise to the level of sub-putrid.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Man, it looked like Knox dunked that in our basket.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Buddy is on fire. He also somehow has 8 rebounds.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Buddy is ridiculous.

 

[Tetsujin]

Buddy finding out the Knicks are not as good at defense as the Billy Donavan Thunder

 

[SacTownKid]

Buddy is officially back. He's not on fire, he's gone full on atomic.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Knicks are dumb. Their announcers were so hopeful that after they beat the Warriors they could have a win streak.

 

[Section 101]

Man, it looked like Knox dunked that in our basket.

Closest player gets credit for the basket.

 

[Tetsujin]

Buddy has 22 points on 10 shots and he hasn't even taken a FT. That is ridiculous shooting efficiency.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Buddy’s been crazy so far.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Very poor finish to the half. Not sure why Walton doesn’t call a timeout earlier.

 

[Tetsujin]

Luke angling hard for that COY award he should have gotten with thee Warriors

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

9 point lead at half, not bad.

For whatever reason whenever we miss a few shots in a row, it seems like the team gives up on looking for good shots and players will try to snap the funk by themselves. Gotta just keep it simple and not overthink it.

 

[Kingster]

Walton isn't going to be a happy camper in the locker room. They just frittered their lead away at the end of the half. Kind of lazy D and rebounding wasn't good enough.

The best half of the year for Buddy Hield.

 

[Kingster]

Very poor finish to the half. Not sure why Walton doesn’t call a timeout earlier.

Because these guys have got to start figuring it out themselves, not have daddy figure it out for them.

HB on-point tonight.

Good to know. I’m so nervous about this game for some reason, ugh

and much like last year you are quick to criticize Bogdan. I admit I just started watching but I see he is 1-4 and played 10 minutes. Was he that horrible in those 10 minutes?

He just threw a ball into the tenth row

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Unselfish basketball is failing us

 

[kingsboi]

Kings playing like poop the last couple of minutes not getting anything on offense

 

[SacTownKid]

This is another instance where the other team sends their defense up in pressure and instead of entering the ball into the post to break the pressure they continue to attack it head on. There is literally no excuse for this right now. You have two options on the floor to force the defense back.

"Much like last year", Bogi has alternated possessions between thinking he's Kobe and making the right basketball play but making it like he's a man who's never touched a basketball before.

he also hit a 3 and created two open 3 pointers for other players (one missed one not taken) since I posted that comment.

Marvin has been open in the post early in the clock this entire stretch and our guards have only gotten him the ball like twice.

 

[Kingster]

I thought Bjelica got mauled on the defensive end in that 3rd quarter. And then his frustration at the defensive end caused him to come down on the offensive end and jack up a shot.

 

[SacTownGrantFan]

I'm ok with an 8 point lead going into the 4th. I don't expect for the Kings to win by 20 just because the Knicks have a bad record. But the 4th quarter will be big. I hope they win with some cushion and don't create another nail biter of a game.
