[Game] Preseason Game 2: Kings @ Blazers 12/13/20, 6PM pst, 9PM est

I'm ok with Fox and Holmes not shooting 3s.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Giles can get so many looks if his team can actually find him when he raises his hands. Seems the Kings missed him multiple times every single game.

That last score was him rotating properly offensively, Kings did a good job defending and switching.

I'm ok with Fox and Holmes not shooting 3s.

Holmes had a nice pass to Buddy for a 3 earlier. The Blazers were sorta awkward rotating with Holmes as the facilitator. May as well see how he does with a little more responsibility in preseason before we really get started.

Overall, a lot happier with how the offense looks and feels. Shots not falling for Buddy, but I didn't feel that he was forcing too much; a lot of them were decent shots for him within the offense that just didn't fall. Likewise, Fox feels a bit more under control and ball movement has been pretty good.

Kings are better with Halliburton on the floor

 

[Telemachus]

Why is Guy playing ahead of the rooks. Guy is a Walton type of player too....

My guess is that he will be waived tommorrow, so give him some playing time before he goes. No inside info, just a guess. His 2-way could be better used on someone else.

Good call +12 best on the team.

I only saw one bad shot by Buddy.

 

[Iced Espresso]

And for Slab....everyone on the Blazers is a minus except one of them.....

Giles +8

 

[Iced Espresso]

That Bjelica pass was the 4th or 5th big man from outside the key firing a pass inside the key tonight.

 

[Iced Espresso]

If he makes the second FT look for the press/trap

 

[SLAB]

HG!!!!

 

[Iced Espresso]

That trap got them to 15 on the clock before they got up the court, with a different ball handler than they would of liked. By the time they got setup it cost them some time.

Makes me happy to see them doing that.

 

[SLAB]

I don’t care what the market says, HG is not a minimum player. He isn’t.

 

[NewArena]

I wonder if Buddy worked on his game at all in the offseason. I hate to question that but i am

 

[SLAB]

There’s the pass, but Trent can’t convert.

—

Again, niiiice pass.

 

[Sluggah]

There’s a way Luke can be forced to go small.

 

[kb02]

Holmes' passing is just not up to par.

 

[Iced Espresso]

LOL Fox musta had a WCS to the basket thought in his head, the Tank cannot do that.

 

[kb02]

Fox has looked very meh.

 

[Iced Espresso]

These are critical minutes, desperately need a bucket, Fox trips.....see if they can compose themselves now.

If only we had an excellent passing big man on the roster.

Got picked.

 

[EIM86]

Our defense still ain’t great but I like that we are getting good looks on offense

 

[Reverend]

Man we gotta cut Justin James what does he even do

 

[SLAB]

I remember the draft crew stared at the camera in stunned silence when he was picked then uttered “...it says he likes to dance.”

 

[kb02]

Think the Kings are hitting like 30% from three in the 2H. Open shots, just missing.

Fox needs to stop driving into the lane when there is a Blazers big waiting for him. That's been the case all game. He's had a few bad turnovers in the same area.

 

[dude12]

If Frank can’t knock down 3’s, it’s a problem

 

[mac]

Well .. I'm not actually worried too much about the work ethic of most guys on the team. My current concern is Fox really doesn't look like a max player.

 

[Reverend]

Oddly enough he appears to be a force near the hoop lol
