[Game] Kings v. Suns - Saturday, Dec. 28 - 6PT/9ET

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

Justin James in the 4th!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

sooooo maybe they ARE being traded, lol. ok thanks, I did not notice him and I figured he has not been playing because he is not available. is he in the doghouse as well? why would that be?

Ariza has played decent lately, so no reason to think he's in a doghouse. "Load Management" or a minor injury is not out of the realm of possibility.

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

JUSTIN JAMESSSSS

 

[SacTownKid]

I really didn't realize it until now, but without Dedmon the Kings are actually a pretty dang small team. Every single big is a 4/5 that leans closer to the 4.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Luke's been a little animated on the sidelines. Not sure if it means anything.

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

Omg please don't bench Justin James cuz Booker scored on him twice in a row.

The good news is the only team in the NBA where the Kings would be seriously undersized is the Sixers.

 

[burekijogurt]

All I know is they went with Gabriel early, also James.

If it wasn't just after a trade request, I wouldn't of been suspicions. But maybe they are just truing to get new energy or develop some?

yeah probably a combination of that and some small injury / load management as Captain mentioned

Bet he puts Buddy in. For Buddy to sink or swim on his words.

Is Harry dressed? Just not getting into the game? Only 3 bench players have been on the floor, excluding Gabriel's 3 minute stint.

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Barnes has been so painful to watch

He’s not gonna play tonight

 

[Kings_of_California]

Barnes has been so painful to watch

I agree lately but today he's at 19/10 on 7/12 shooting.

 

[Reverend]

He’s not gonna play tonight

Yeah it’s over for Harry in Sac, whatever happened seems unfixable at this point. Would be surprised if he isn’t moved by the deadline

 

[Sluggah]

just nothing to do against this version of Booker other than keep it out of his hands

 

[Artur91]

Buddy shooting decently tonight. But I don’t trust his decision making at close games, I bet he gotta throw a 3 point attempt again if we down by just 1 point in last possession

 

[NewArena]

Lol Buddy didn’t even try contesting that shot

 

[Iced Espresso]

Suns fans complaining about their zone defense.

 

[NewArena]

Buddy has given up and I’m ready for him to be gone come February if that’s what he wants.

This kind of attitude on top of the crap effort is just not the “culture” we were promised.

 

[NewArena]

Welp

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Buddy has given up and I’m ready for him to be gone come February if that’s what he wants.

This kind of attitude on top of the crap effort is just not the “culture” we were promised.

Buddy:
Drains three
Forces Rubio to give up ball
Forces Booker into bad shot

Well I don’t think we r handling this situation well. Seems like Giles is out but u still need to get something back in return making him look like a sack of potatoes will only make other teams offer u a sack of potatoes in return. That’s not smart Lol

 

[Kings_of_California]

It is Kings tradition that every single game comes down to the last shot, no matter what. It is now law.

 

[NewArena]

Lmaooooo what an embarrassment

 

[Kings_of_California]

How about a Bjelica 3 from 30 feet out to tie it?

 

[Sluggah]

Huh.

 

[NewArena]

Buddy:
Drains three
Forces Rubio to give up ball
Forces Booker into bad shot

if it takes a made shot for him to put forth some effort, i don’t know if I’m a fan of that. Meh

 

[Mjfuller53]

Why are two guys in the backcourt on Booker!!!!

 

[Artur91]

They wanted the last ball
