[VF21]

GO KINGS!

 

[Heuge]

Slowing KAT will be tough, even if injuries shined positively on us and Bags and/or Holmes played.

Both Bagley and Mr. Holmes have been ruled out for the game against the TWolves.

 

[Chupacabra]

Both Bagley and Mr. Holmes have been ruled out for the game against the TWolves.

Bjelica should play off of him on the perimeter and make him a shooter. Speed will be KAT's advantage against our bigs, I hope they don't let him use it.

 

[Tetsujin]

The thing about the T-Wolves is that they've inexplicably been as bad as/ if not worse than the Kings have.

Which means we'll probably lose

well the Kings did lose in Sacramento to this same team without KAT and Wiggins having an awful game so there's that at least -_-

 

[Kingster]

The game isn't really about the the T-Wolves. It's about the Kings and their mental preparedness to play the game. The Kings' pathology this season is to mostly play hard against good teams and not hard against bad teams. The rare exception occurs with the latter after they are thoroughly embarrassed, e.g. Detroit, at which point they decide to atone for their woeful play. I want to see the same effort directed against Minni that they had against Chicago. No excuses. Have respect for the game.

 

[ppine]

Respect for the game is extremely important.

I’m never sure quite what to expect out of the Kings in any given game, but I always hope for the best.

I kind of expect a loss and hope for the best. But even though I expect the loss, it still hurts and frustrates

So tired of Bagley being out. Like really, really sick of it. The guy is never on the court. I mean what even happened? He aggravated the injury? What's to prevent him from doing it again when he does finally return.

Sigh. Dude’s not playing unless he’s > 99%.

You literally have no idea of how bad the injury is or is not.

 

[ppine]

Some players are not physically up to playing 82 games. Bill Walton comes to mind.

What frustrates me is that we don't know the nature of the injury. A "sore foot"? What's up with that? Kids without helicopter moms play with a "sore foot" all the time. It can't just be sore. It's got to be very painful. So what is the exact diagnoses? Clarification of the injury would sure help in people understanding what is going on here.

If I recall correctly, Walton had fractures, breaks, something along those lines. The X-rays are negative on that though. It's a "sore foot." Plantar fasciitis, maybe?

 

[Tetsujin]

KAT: Gives heartfelt speech about Kobe
Minnesota in-arena crew: "LET'S GET PUMPED UPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!"

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Gonna be a long night if the T'Wolves are going to hit 57% from three all game.

 

[dude12]

Bogi killing us

 

[Tetsujin]

My earlier post that got deleted about Bogi playing like a guy shooting with a torn achilles still stands. The dude is getting no lift on his shots right now.

 

[MixM]

Beli only player on the floor

 

[Capt. Factorial]

How do you know VF21 isn't online? No bouncy Fox gif.

 

[MixM]

Beli only player on the floor

Only Sac player.

 

[dude12]

BJeli can not guard Towns, nor Giles

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Gonna be a long night if the T'Wolves are going to hit 57% from three all game.

And if they shoot 67%, it's going to be a very short night.

 

[Tetsujin]

Some of these threes have been open but a lot of these have been horrid shots that have happened to go in. Jeez

 

[kingsboi]

I didn't think Wiggins was a Kings killer any longer but apparently he still is

 

[SacTownKid]

Different day, same 'ol story. The opposition goes small and the Kings just let it keep on snowballing with no lineup adjustments to match it.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

How did Bazemore get FTs when he was clearly passing out?
