[Game] Kings @ Nets - Friday, Aug. 7 - 2 PM PT; 5 PM ET

We can’t hit 3’s. If we put in Buddy or Bjelica to help stretch it, our defense suffers, when we add Cojo for perimeter D, our offense suffers, no Bogi going nuclear, Buddy has been ice cold all bubble.

Just not good enough

Buddy and Bjelica played very little, yet the Nets scored 63 in the first half. I don’t think anyone is playing a good D on our team right now.

I'll take Buddy or Bjelica shooting half court shots over Joseph dribbling into the paint until the ball deflates.

You can't unteach dumb. One win and right back to some of the exact wrong play calls. Here's what we've seen some of in the first half. Len running high post offense. WTF? Back to more motion BS. Joseph running the offense into complete oblivion. Turning down the screen so he can iso.

There is a reason this team needs to assume the identity of the Nash Suns. If these team doesn't get shots off of 1-3 passes you might as well just hand the ball over to the other team. Bogdan started to run more pick and roll late and suprise it worked. Len is a terrific pick and roll big. Putting him in the high post for anything other than a hand off is just plain stupid, yet, there he was time and time again.

yup. It’s very concerning and frustrating

Well, 24 minutes left in the season basically.

For sure. Bogi looks like he's playing with urgency. Barnes looked great in the first quarter. Hopefully a couple more players join them and pull out a comeback

 

[theclash4u5]

With Memphis winning, they pretty much just solidified a spot in the play in

 

[chief bromden]

Good start to the 2nd half!

Edit: nevermind

 

[Hoovtrain]

Good god. The hell with this team.

Well, 24 minutes left in the season basically.

It is what it is. We lost Fox for 19 games on the season. Holmes for 25 games. Bagley spent the season doing his best Mr. Glass impression. Poor coaching from a first year coach trying to implement a new system. I'm actually surprised we have been in the mix this long.

 

[sactowndog]

Fox looks horrible this game

 

[SacTownKid]

Now the Kings have to fight the refs too. Wow.

 

[krylia sovetov]

we are simply dumb... extremely low iq team

 

[SacTownKid]

Fox looks horrible this game

Not really. He's just not going off like Walton has relied on.

 

[chief bromden]

I'm not sure what this team is

 

[SacTownKid]

Whatever it is, they not being able to run the system they want, or them not being run in the system they need. The quick answer comes from the playbook.

Hello darkness my old friend

 

[Hoovtrain]

Is buddy drinking before games in bubble?

 

[dude12]

My in depth analysis is we suck

 

[SacTownKid]

I'm not sure what this team is

A space, drive and dish, quick hitting pick and roll team. Not a team that runs post, high post, or back door action as a first option. They just aren't. No matter how effective your timeout plays can be. They just aren't. Space and pace.

 

[Hoovtrain]

My in depth analysis is we suck

LOL I second your analysis

This really shows you how much the team did indeed rely on Buddy to absolutely go off in games this season. Without his come back fury you get down to the nuts and bolts about how bad this team is at Waltons system.

I think it’s time to bring back my Randy Quaid Major League 2 pic

Exactly. Pretty remarkable

 

[sactowndog]

5 assists. 3 Turnovers and -10 isn’t very good.

 

[SacTownKid]

Straight lines. That's the team. If they aren't moving to the hoop or away from it they aren't doing what they should be. Walton needs to put some drop off plays at the rim. That's a way to build on that.

I don’t know if Buddy is but I’m drinking watching it.

 

[Hoovtrain]

I’m about to join you

 

[SacTownKid]

5 assists. 3 Turnovers and -10 isn’t very good.

Eh, he's played in a few different combos and Walton as been throwing up from his dry erase board again when it comes to the rotation so +/- numbers are going to be hard to follow. 12 and 5 on 50% shooting should be right in line as to what you need. 39 points from someone isn't a system to build on and Waltons system doesn't at all make the most out of individual offensive output.

I'm right there with ya!

 

[dude12]

Our defensive intensity picked up......where has it been?
