[Game] Kings @ Rockets, 12/31/2020 4PM PST, 7PM EST

[Sluggah]

Really feels like everyone not named Buddy is having a bad shooting night

Must be that infamous lockdown Houston D

 

[Tetsujin]

De’Aaron has played the lowest amount of minutes of all of our starters for some reason

 

[Tetsujin]

Must be that infamous lockdown Houston D

Some nights you just don’t have it.

 

[SacTownKid]

He's getting beatdown physically by dudes who are 6'4. That's shameful.

He's not a pound it down low player and those 6'4" players are known as pretty good post defenders. Bagley is a faceup center, not Shaq.

 

[Woot!]

Yeah bags is trying too hard to take over

1-9 w/4 turnovers don't work for ya?

 

[kb02]

Must be that infamous lockdown Houston D

It's the pace. Frenetic. Not up and down, but handsy. Just a mess.

 

[SLAB]

He's not a pound it down low player and those 6'4" players are known as pretty good post defenders. Bagley is a faceup center, not Shaq.

A face-up center with a shaky at best shot. What an asset.

 

[krylia sovetov]

pass the ball marvin!

 

[MizzouKing]

So how many times DOES Bagley have to cough up the ball and miss point blank shots before he gets the hook?

 

[SacTownKid]

A face-up center with a shaky at best shot. What an asset.

Faceup means driving ability too. Every time they've run high middle pick and roll they've gotten a good look.

 

[kb02]

pass the ball marvin!

This is a good wake up call for him and his pops.

 

[Krunker]

ugh Cojo

 

[Tetsujin]

What the hell is CoJo doing out there?

 

[SLAB]

This is a good wake up call for him and his pops.

He’d be good if they didn’t ice him the last 18 minutes of the last game. It’s the team’s fault.

 

[kb02]

So how many times DOES Bagley have to cough up the ball and miss point blank shots before he gets the hook?

Don't think we see him for the rest of the game.

 

[kb02]

He’d be good if they didn’t ice him the last 18 minutes of the last game. It’s the team’s fault.

Of if he wasn't playing like a rookie.

 

[SLAB]

What the hell is CoJo doing out there?

Jumping directly into the brick wall that is DeMarcus Cousins isn’t doing anything for us?

Tyrese actually looking like a rookie tonight.

 

[SacTownKid]

High middle, points. Now take your head out of your *** Walton.

 

[Sluggah]

CoJo did a thing.

 

[SLAB]

How in the world are they only down 1? Lmao

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

I hate to be that guy, but the refs aren't calling anything against the Kings.

 

[SacTownKid]

The refusal to go small until the last minute has certainly been an interesting wrinkle this year as well.

 

[Tetsujin]

Tyrese!! Swipa!
No CoJo iso drives into traffic!

 

[kb02]

How in the world are they only down 1? Lmao

Ty Haliburton. Changed the game. Less frenetic. Ticked up the defense.

 

[O0chieboomboom]

Sit Bagley for the rest of the game

 

[Tetsujin]

The refusal to go small until the last minute has certainly been an interesting wrinkle this year as well.

The general flow of the games this season has been some variation of hot start -> other team adjusts -> big lineup falters horribly -> Luke plays CoJo for some reason -> Luke accidentally stumbles into a small ball lineup that saves the game.

 

[SLAB]

Sit Bagley for the rest of the game

Papa Bagley is ready to tweet at you so hard.

 

[Sluggah]

After all that and we actually chipped away at their half time lead.

 

[Kingz19]

Kings won that quarter. It had felt like a disaster

 

[SacTownKid]

The general flow of the games this season has been some variation of hot start -> other team adjusts -> big lineup falters horribly -> Luke plays CoJo for some reason -> Luke accidentally stumbles into a small ball lineup that saves the game.

And the saving the game part eventually comes back to bite you.
