[Game] Kings @ Mavericks - Wednesday, Feb. 12 - 5:30PT/8:30ET

[Capt. Factorial]

He’ll have a good game soon and you’ll get killed for this

Why wait for a good game? He's averaging 19.8/7.1/4.2/1.5 as a 22-year old. The only players to beat all those numbers at 22 or younger: Magic, LeBron, Westbrook, Kevin Johnson.

But hey, he only scored 3 points in 12 minutes, obviously he's no longer a franchise player. Do you even watch the game?

 

[SacTownKid]

Yeah, I'm sure that's it. Not that we're in matchup hell or Walton is trying to find a combination that works. Geez...

Nah, he just gave us the definition of searching. Playing guys that aren't your problem 2 minutes then sitting. That's called coaching panic. It's still better than the last few years of no panic and letting the status quo bury you. He's basically got the same unit he's had as his disposal for 8 games now even with Bjelica in foul trouble. Fox off the ball killed him early and he changed everything around it until he finally changed the 2 PG crap.

Unfortunately, no. I'm too busy looking up stats!

 

[VF21]

Thank you Baze!!

 

[Kingster]

Not only do the Kings need to re-sign Bazemore, they need a couple more of his type.

It's almost like, defense wins championship.

 

[Kingster]

Kings need to penetrate and finish at the basket. This jacking up shots from 3 point line isn't going to cut it. Penetrate and then pass the ball if you're covered.

And that's where either having the right coach for your players or the right players for your coach comes in. Walton needs certain types to be able to run his defensive sets. Switch ability, length to help, and quickness to run back out are all important.

 

[Joshoua]

He just looks so mediocre going against mediocre players.

i agree

 

[KainLear]

Bazemore might just be the 3-and-D guy we been sorely missing...

 

[Joshoua]

The bench mob is really good if we can keep Baze/Buddy/Giles together off the bench we’ll be golden

we can debate this after the game in a new thread

You gonna dignify it that much?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Let's not and say we did.

 

[SacTownKid]

i agree

As basically your SG, as he was to start the game, yes totally mediocre. Walton should know this by now.

Too young for Vlade. He likes 35+ FAs.

I love those. I drink a ton of sparkling water. I know it's essentially just flavored water, at a price. But I love it.

 

[Suicide King]

Hell yeah Harrison!

 

[Gliesian]

Harrison makin believers with that play sheesh

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Clearly execution is lacking in this game on our part.

 

[Mad D]

Space Jam aliens stole Fox's finishing ability.

 

[VF21]

The officials set the tone for this game early with those fouls called against Bjelica. It's all about consistency. If they're gonna call those, they need to call them all night against both teams.

 

[KingKong]

What is up with Fox and Bogi? Seriously?

 

[VF21]

Space Jam aliens stole Fox's finishing ability.

This calls for desperate measures.

 

[SacTownKid]

This without a doubt is the most erratic substitution pattern I've ever seen. Bizarre.

 

[KainLear]

Space Jam aliens stole Fox's finishing ability.

I think we can start to expect a star player like Fox to not be slumming for the whole game...

 

[Suicide King]

Fox needs to remember his Kamehameha..
