[Game] Kings vs. Nuggets, 12/29/20, 7PM PST, 10PM EST

[Woot!]

32 assists, 10 turns for your Kings. Haven't had one this quarter.

 

[SLAB]

Ty’s going to have to buy the cat poop coffee before the year is over.

lmao the guys laughing at getting Hali the final turnover.

 

[dude12]

3-1 >> 2-2

 

[macadocious]

Fun

 

[Hoovtrain]

Hell yes

 

[SacTownKid]

Great comeback. The unit you wanted was the unit you thought it could be. Sad thing is back to the bench it goes until they are down in the fourth again.

 

[KainLear]

The fact that they had the same collapse in 3rd like in the Suns but this time they stepped up and got their lead back shows how mature this team already is. This is going to be a fun season to watch.

And Tyrese!!! #witness

Mark Jones likes his food references. Lmao

Now the trick is getting someone in a position of power to give Fox/Haliburton/Buddy/Barnes/Bagley their chance.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Nice job! Contrary some opinions, I like the way the Kings stood there in the third took a shot to the jaw and came right back at them.

2 wins against WCF finalist this early of a season. Kings not KANGZ anymore.

 

[iowamcnabb]

If Vinny starts mentioning butter or glazing things we will know the truth

One without Murray though and a depleted Nuggz. The real test is the small ballers. As of now the Kings are a tight win over a small ball Suns and a total blowout loss.

Haliburton is a good interview.

Yes please. Just give me like...6 minutes of this next game to satisfy my curiosity and I’ll stop whining.

 

[KainLear]

Little Magic!

This is the base of their core talent so it's amazing this is them even having to fight through marginal role players on contract years. The exception is Holmes who is a huge piece while small as seen again.

So, no rookie is close to Hali through 4 games right?

if we are talking pure impact, not even close.

Some guys have put up stats but no one has helped put up wins like Tyrese

 

[whitechocolate]

I love how Hield is playing. He may not need to score twenty a game this season, but he isn't letting that affect his effort. He's even becoming tenacious on the defensive end. Less responsibility means playing at a higher level more consistently.

Haliburton is a savage.

Based on per game average, MPG, before tonight's game.

Maybe Wiseman....he’s getting lots of publicity

The issue we’ll have here is you’d have to actually watch the games to see the full impact.

 

[burekijogurt]

Reading this game thread I would think Jokic shot 30 free throws, turns out he shot 7, one more than Bagley who played 15 minutes less.

Hey, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everybody! I've been too busy to post during the games but I've managed to watch most of them. This team is awesome! Playing defense, taking care of the ball, and looking like they have a game plan and the discipline to stick to it. And what else needs to be said about Tyrese? I don't care about Rookie of the Year -- someone else might pour in more stats and take the award -- but more importantly this kid is already playing like a pro. He plays clean, mistake free basketball on both ends which is exactly what this team needed. There's a lot of season left but I love what I'm seeing so far!

In terms of impact? No.

But in terms of rookies who look the part? There's a few. Edwards looks like Jason Richardson out there. Dude is what Jerry would call a power guard. He plays mean. Scores easy.

Wiseman is Ayton on steriods with more skill.

Deni has a smooth game. Well rounded. His numbers understate his transition to the NBA, because Russ and Beal hog up the usage.

Williams looks like a 10 year 3 and D. Plays both sides. Where Hali is a perimeter thief, Williams plays a power game. Boards and blocks with intention.

Okoro looks like a small ron-ron.

This class looks legit.

Some potential busts: Kilian Hayes and the Phoenix Big.

Didn’t realize Tyrese didn’t have any steals before tonight’s game. Seemed like he did but it must’ve all been in preseason

Well, he got 3 tonight and he averaged over 2 per game in college.

 

[EIM86]

Haliburton is the glue guy we needed!!!!!! Everybody feels less pressure and now just play their roles
