Which legitimately raises the question of whether the correct strategy in today's NBA is one big man only.
One thing is for sure, when teams go small on the Kings and the Kings play the standard lineup something ain't working. On either end. Game after game after game. What they're doing is spreading the Kings out on one end and clamping down the middle on the other. Waltons system on defense is predicated on help and recovering so the more athletic you are the better you'll be at it.

Love that the Kings are forcing the officials to put them on the line. So much better than just watching them lob bricks from outside.

Rule 1. Don't look past your defender and lose the ball.
Rule 2. If you do lose the ball, don't foul the guy who stole it out of frustration.

Thank you.

Halftime rant:

If you cannot depend upon a player, you need to either lower expectations OR SIT HIS ARSE DOWN. I'm totally fed up with watching Buddy make mistake after mistake. I'd much rather see JJ get his minutes. He may not be the shooter Buddy is supposed to be, but he certainly has much better court vision, defensive instinct, etc.

This is just frustrating to see someone continue to get major minutes when they're not earning them.

Pretty mediocre basketball by the Kings in the 1st half. Buddy just out hoopin' with four turnovers. One way or another, the Kings better pay attention to Redick in the 2nd half.

I told you before: You need to have an option for multiple "likes" so I can give this post 100 likes. I'm really really tired of the Buddy shtick.

"Once, twice, three times a lady. Put it in, Auntie 'Em"... Well, it's not exactly Jerry Reynolds but Doug is developing his own style. :p

Looks like Lonzo hears footsteps any time Fox heads towards him. That's about 3 shots that he's missed with Fox in his face.
