[Game] Kings v. Rockets - Monday, Dec. 23 - 7PT/10ET

[kingsboi]

looks like the only player that came to play is Fox thus far

 

[burekijogurt]

we don't know how to play the zone. we should stop.

 

[Tetsujin]

We should probably stop with the zone now

 

[Iced Espresso]

Luke's gambling with Holmes, guess you have to gamble sometimes.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Would be a 5 point game if Bjelica and Barnes didn't blow the lobs.

 

[jcwkings]

Moving Bagley to the starting lineup couldn't have gone any worse.

 

[Tetsujin]

We put in our best defenders and stop playing zone and immediately see results.

 

[Tetsujin]

Moving Bagley to the starting lineup couldn't have gone any worse.

To be fair, this is less on Bagley and more on whoever thought the Houston Rockets would be a good opponent to try installing a zone package against.

At some point, Holmes is gonna have to learn - like everyone else - how to play with fouls. Might as well be now.

 

[VF21]

To be fair, this is less on Bagley and more on whoever thought the Houston Rockets would be a good opponent to try installing a zone package against.

Let's be honest. It isn't about being fair; it's about bagging on Bagley at every opportunity real or imagined.

 

[Iced Espresso]

The clock was down to about 6 by the time the Kings actually did something with the ball.

 

[jcwkings]

To be fair, this is less on Bagley and more on whoever thought the Houston Rockets would be a good opponent to try installing a zone package against.

The zone was used specifically because Bagley can't guard any position on the floor or a pick and roll.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Dude they gave Houston 2 of our points.

 

[kingsboi]

well at this rate Kings will be doing me a favor and I can go and watch something else instead

 

[Tetsujin]

The zone was used specifically because Bagley can't guard any position on the floor or a pick and roll.

I mean, we're still playing in the zone now and Bagley's on the bench so maybe not?

 

[burekijogurt]

Bogdanovic messing things up again? or maybe WCS

 

[Iced Espresso]

Fox looked good, my one reason to be optimistic....

Don't really have another reason...

 

[joemama]

I.hate.u.hield

 

[SacTownKid]

Well, you let them get hot so running a box and 1 now doesn't look like it's working this time either. Lol.

 

[VF21]

Things that drive me nuts:

1. Russell Westbrook's whining
2. James Harden's attitude of entitlemet
3. Clint Capela's hair

Yes, I'm petty. I cannot help it.

 

[SacTownKid]

The small ball unit looking much better here. That's the issue with Waltons scheme. If you are going to try to outsize the opponent, ignoring the post is totally useless. The Kings aren't going to outshoot teams playing big and it puts way too much pressure on Hield and Barnes to carry the load from outside.

 

[VF21]

I mean, we're still playing in the zone now and Bagley's on the bench so maybe not?

Details, my friend. Just details.

 

[VF21]

Damn, refs. Way to fall for the fake.

 

[VF21]

DeFox to Mister Holmes!!

 

[VF21]

 

[VF21]

I LOVE THIS TEAM!!

 

[KingKong]

Did I just see speed???

 

[burekijogurt]

when are they going to start giving Fox those calls?

 

[Tetsujin]

De'Aaron looks like the best player on the floor and there are two former MVPs on the other team

 

[Section 101]

Fox unleashed!
