[Game] Kings @ Suns - Tuesday, Jan. 7 - 6PT/9ET

[Livinthedream]

Basketball fan internet in general has become a singular swirling mass of nastiness and hot takes and honestly it's taken more away from my enjoyment of the NBA than the Kings sucking.

No doubt.

 

[Tetsujin]

Bjeli probably shouldn't be in there right now.

 

[Sactown ExPat]

Here a game thread question. Based on tonight’s game what position do we most need to upgrade?

Go-to scorer...any position. Just can’t stop runs. A consistent, smart 2-guard would also be nice.

 

[Livinthedream]

Dude anyone still on this thread should not be criticized. Most of the fan base has left if you didn’t notice given its 6 pages on an away game thread.

Or the ones who don't like to read people complain incessantly about individual players rather than the actual game have been turned off.

Lobster hands has to knock the ball down then gather it.

 

[Kingster]

Really good D!

 

[kb02]

Bad play, Fox.

 

[joemama]

Fox turns it over every time he tries to spoon feed Dedboy

 

[Larry89]

No wonder it was a turnover, Fox tried to pass it to Ayton

 

[Tetsujin]

Is Grant alright? I mean, his Dedmon=Ayton thing is just bizarre

 

[Kingster]

Now THE question: Who guards Booker when he comes back in?

 

[Sluggah]

keeping things interesting. I appreciate it

 

[SLAB]

I have sad sinking feeling that Dedmon has risen like the Phoenix will be taking Giles’ minutes in the immediate future... and I’ll be heading for the hills again.

 

[Tetsujin]

Now THE question: Who guards Booker when he comes back in?

Ariza

 

[kb02]

Kings will lose this game, if Buddy plays more than 5 mins of the 4q. Please don’t let him play more than that Walton.

 

[Kingster]

Is Grant alright? I mean, his Dedmon=Ayton thing is just bizarre

Maybe he knows there a trade coming down?

maybe it's the early stages of Dementia?

 

[Kingster]

Ariza

I wonder if he has the mobility?

 

[rosa u podne]

Nice drive by Bjelica.

2018-19 Kings:
PTS: 9th, FG%: 15th, 3P%: 4th, FT%: 27th, REB: 14th, AST: 14th, STL: 10th, BLK: 24TH, TO: 9th

2019-20 Kings:
PTS: 26th, FG%: 20th, 3P%: 22nd, FT%: 14th, REB: 29th, AST: 23rd, STL: 21st, BLK: 23rd, TO: 14th

Walton said that he wanted to play slower to reduce turnovers, but it’s amazing that Dave Joerger had the squad last year playing at a way faster pace AND still had a better ranking in turnovers in the league compared to Walton. And we have arguably worse team last year with WCS as our starting center.

I’m surprised Booker just finally came back.

 

[Tetsujin]

Maybe he knows there a trade coming down?

If Vlade somehow swings Dedmon for Ayton, maybe he is a genius

 

[Kingster]

I still think Fox should guard Booker. Put Cojo on Rubio. Or vice versa.

more shot attempts = less dribbling for turnovers

 

[rosa u podne]

Another one on Ayton and plus one.

 

[kb02]

Dribble drive on Ayton/Barnes must’ve been in the scouting report.

 

[Kingster]

Yeah, baby!

 

[Sluggah]

wow

 

[Kingster]

I knew I loved Christie as analyst. He just said the same thing I said at the beginning of this thread.

 

[Sluggah]

no foul
