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

Buddy finally made one! Yesssss

 

[SacTownKid]

That timeout shows you the respect teams have for Buddy. They watch the tape Walton says he does after games. They know the only shot the Kings have in sluggish scoring games is Buddy going off.

 

[Peja]

This Brooklyn team sucks and yet they look like the Lakers compared to us :/

Give credit where it's do, they play the hand their dealt. They stack shooters and keep shooting.

 

[Hoovtrain]

I loathe this team . I stand by my assertion back then that they should have just hired Christie as the HC. Didn’t care fir Walton in LA and really not caring for him here in Sacramento. I really don’t care if he has any experience, you can tell in listening to him him talk he understands the X’s and O’s, he is well respected, smart, a leader who everyone likes but will not hesitate to call you out and put his foot down.

 

[SacTownKid]

More tweaks from Walton. You started to solidify prior to the timeout and he goes with a Barnes/Brewer front line. What a fitting end.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

trade buddy for a sack of potatoes

Doesn't work under the salary cap unless the sack of potatoes weighs over 20 million pounds.

 

[Peja]

Buddy killed any kind of momentum.

 

[NewArena]

I’m late to the party, but did we seriously think Harrison Barnes at the 5 was a good idea against this particular team??

wow

 

[King Baller]

Walton looked dejected when they went to commercial break. 17 points down to the Nets

 

[sactowndog]

This team tends to play selfish.

 

[SacTownKid]

We've watched a lot of basketball but I have to say, all the way through the Musselmans, Theus', Corbins, and so on, we have never seen a coach trip over his own two feet when it's on the line like this. And that's saying something. Walton has started to not even trust himself here. Joerger threw crap at the wall but at least he thought he knew what he was doing.

 

[dude12]

I think the organization is fortunate they aren’t playing game sat Golden One. The booing would be long and loud.

what is the lowest salary cap anyway?

 

[NewArena]

It just really sucks to see how easy it is for other teams to run a simple offense. Everything since 2006 has been like pulling teeth for us

We haven’t had an offense I’ve fully been comfortable with since Artest, Bibby and Bonzi wells were here. 14 years ago.

 

[King Baller]

I don't blame the players. Vlade assembled them and hired Walton to coach them. What we are seeing is the results of those decisions.

 

[chief bromden]

I’m late to the party, but did we seriously think Harrison Barnes at the 5 was a good idea against this particular team??

wow

You tuned in during the first time that he was at the 5

 

[SacTownKid]

This team tends to play selfish.

In reality they don't play selfish enough. Bjelica is constantly passing over to someone that's half the shooter he is. When they start passing it around you inevitably find it in the persons hand that the other team wants shooting the ball to begin with!

 

[Larry89]

Game getting turned off. I see Harrison Barnes at Center and Corey Brewer at PF.

 

[NewArena]

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.

What an embarrassment

Harrison Barnes guarding Jarrett Allen Lmao

 

[Hoovtrain]

So embarrassing

 

[chief bromden]

Bogi doesn't get a touch for 5 possessions after being brought in? Like..what?

 

[dude12]

Nice. Take most of our 3 point shooters off the floor. How we going to come back?

 

[NewArena]

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.

Yup. Terrible coaching, btw

I’m tired of thinking of excuses to make

 

[SacTownKid]

If you're going to play a mismatch unit this small you need to do what DC says, pressure! You can't let them set up their offense.

 

[krylia sovetov]

what would happen if nets had all their pieces in the bubble?

 

[chief bromden]

Nice. Take most of our 3 point shooters off the floor. How we going to come back?

Lol. Going small with non shooters Brewer and Cojo.. might as well have Len out there.

 

[SacTownKid]

Bogi doesn't get a touch for 5 possessions after being brought in? Like..what?

Well, this isn't really a great pick and roll combo right now. Walton is doing it right. Barnes is the mismatch player. Draw out Allen through him.

 

[k_dubb90]

Getting creamed by a team like BKN. Yeah I’m checked out in tired of the team putting one solid win together giving me a slight bit of hope only to show it’s true ugly face like they’re showing right now. It’s been happening for countless years and I’m fed up with it

 

[chief bromden]

Jabari Parker probably thinking twice about picking up his option with all these DNPs
