[Game] Kings v. Sixers- Thursday, March 5 - 7PT/10ET

[Groovygreg]

Absolutely no foul on that Thybule drive.

 

[Tetsujin]

De'Aaron trying to take over

 

[chief bromden]

Sweet, the proverbial makeup call

 

[SLAB]

Is Philly ever gonna miss?

 

[kingsboi]

apparently the Kings aren't going to defend the three point line tonight

 

[kingsboi]

Sixers driving on Bjelica almost every time

 

[Groovygreg]

Fox and the bench are keeping the Kings in this game.

 

[steelevt]

I guess kings are gonna have a great second half this game.

 

[KainLear]

BAZZZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[SacTownKid]

It's about time to figure this out. The Kings starting unit is really bad defensively. The Kings played big again tonight and when they have it's been more bad than good. Len and Bjelica have had some success but the Sixers went small on them and it turned the tide. So much fact staring this team in the face.

 

[Suicide King]

We will dominate the 3rd, as is tradition.

 

[The_Jamal]

Game is winnable. Need to send the double to Harris much quicker and close out on shooters a bit harder. They're also a bit hot, shooting 47% from 3.

 

[chief bromden]

Let it fly Bjelly

 

[Capt. Factorial]

We will dominate the 3rd, as is tradition.

Don't tell the Wizards.

 

[Groovygreg]

Dear Kings -

Please keep Bazemore.

 

[Suicide King]

Don't tell the Wizards.

Haha whoosh

 

[The_Jamal]

Shake Milton: 2nd round pick, 54th overall.

 

[chief bromden]

Lot of passengers on the floor for the Kings tonight

 

[kingsboi]

63 points allowed to a team that's missing 2 All-Star players....sounds about right

 

[KainLear]

Doug right on the money again, gotta take these body shots in order for them to loose up for the haymakers...

 

[SacTownKid]

Dear Kings -

Please keep Bazemore.

Bazemore is without a question the single most important free agent on the Kings this summer. He's exactly what Walton needed. Great trade Vlade made for his coach.

 

[The_Jamal]

uhh Baze. Maybe hit the wide-open Bogi?

All things considered, this should be way worse. Getting bullied by Tobias Harris, Sixers 9 made 3's on 47% shooting, Kings miss 5 Free-Throws, the Bazemore missed wide-open lay-up at the end there. Still winnable, need to clean up the mistakes.

 

[SacTownKid]

I want to see more Baze and Barnes together. Switch more and more and squeeze them out at the 3 point line. The Kings are falling off pick and rolls left and right.

 

[Groovygreg]

Other than Fox and Giles, the starters for the Kings have been non-factors.

 

[SacTownKid]

Interesting stats in the first half. Bjelica again being run into the ground on pace to play 42 minutes and Buddy on pace to play 16 minutes tonight. SMH.

if the Kings want to improve that pick and roll defense for the second half, Bjelica needs to ride a lot of pine and Kings need to just play small and hound the Sixers as much as possibe

Playing Bjelica at center could help as well. Until Horford hits shots force them to find him rather than letting them continuously run 1/3 and 2/3 pnr with Harris.

 

[Kingster]

Not much defense. Didn't look to me like Kings were prepared to play this game. I hope the lineup for most of the 2nd half is the most defense-oriented Walton can come up with, probably Fox, Joseph, Barnes/Bjelica, Len, Bazemore.

Did Bogs or Hield make a basket in the first half?

they were both non-existent in that first half, Kings lucky they aren't down by a larger margin

 

[est.1999]

One of the worst road teams in history is missing their two best players and are going to beat us at home lol
