[Game] Kings @ Warriors, 1/4/2020, 7PM PST, 10PM EST

goes back to teaching fundamentals from the high school days all the way to Duke. That wasn't an emphasis because he was able to use athletic ability to rebound the ball but that doesn't work in the NBA when players that are less athletic understand the basics.

He was babied by his stupid dad who ran his AAU team all around him. I think they won like 25% of their games. I think he played for 2-3 different HS teams? Coach shopping. Unfortunate he didn't come up the old school way as I imagine he'd be a lot closer to realizing his potential.

CoJo it is!!!

My comment about CoJo playing the entire 4th was meant to be taken as a joke, not a suggestion lol

 

[dude12]

Just have to remember the sweet draft pick thats on its way

 

[Groovygreg]

The Kings can’t buy a shot and the other team is getting open looks and can’t miss. Seems like the same old story from last year.

 

[gunks]

I’m just so proud of all of you who’ve stuck it out through this game.

Y’all are the real Kings

when you posted that I was going to suggest you choke on a ham sandwich but given the mood tonight I figured best to just pretend I did not see it. But if Luke wants to choke on a ham sandwich that'd be fine.

 

[SLAB]

Bagley getting those closer minutes tonight!

[dude12]

Of course Cojo is still in Lmao

 

[Tetsujin]

Lol. CoJo is still playing

To be fair, it's him or Fox...and playing Fox right now would be a bad call.

I guess there's no harm playing no PG at this juncture though.

Doug keeps talking about moving the ball ... you know what the difference between the Warriors' sequence and the Kings'? All of them are camped at the 3 point line ready to shoot and then passing the ball, rather than our team where apparently only Buddy and Bjelica are allowed to attempt 3s. We keep driving into traffic and driving into traffic and driving into traffic or posting up and then wonder why we have no spacing.

Dude, that's everybody now though. It just is what it is. That will all change if and when they start calling the game like they did when players like Laimbeer and Oakley roamed the paint. It would put things into perspective for a lot of these guys.

no really, I should have gone down to the basement and practiced guitar or just got my evening workout over with. I am pretty much just legitimately procrastinating everything else by sticking with this turd.

 

[Sluggah]

Totally fine to watch the kids be blown out. Not sure why it took so long.

 

[Tetsujin]

I guess Luke really really doesn’t think Ramsey or Guy are lead guards

 

[SLAB]

How can one be so bad at defense. I’m not being mean. I’m really not.

 

[Groovygreg]

Bagley made a shot, missed the free throw, then promptly gets schooled on the other end.

that's a mentality that he has to reach on his own accord if he wants to be a 100 million dollar player

That's not entirely true - a lot of the elite talents come up on the same AAU teams and go to the elite prep basketball academies. There's competition and they are not as protected as Bagley was. It was one of the biggest concerns drafting him and I think its bearing our right now before our eyes.

 

[Tetsujin]

I guess by Luke’s standards Bjeli is still a kid.

 

[luckytkp]

It's amazing how terrible Luke is, Bagley under last coach was at 50 FG%, but now he's under 40%.

 

[dude12]

Woodard and Ramsey please

GRINDBALL. haha. This new commentary duo is a little company line-ish but I'm sure Doug is seeing the exact same thing we're seeing in reality. Even the stats for the most part are playing to the identity of what you would expect with a Bagley/Holmes combo. Great on the O'boards. Bad in pace since most of a teams pace comes from half court efficiency and quick offense. Athletic and somewhat physical but zero spacing.

Just wait for it man. They're about to make a run and get back in this thing.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Well, on that Luke and I would agree.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Can we get an MTV VJ to put one of them 40 point spots on the court?

 

[SLAB]

I’m no Walton supporter... but it’s Luke’s fault Bagley forgot how to hit layups?

 

[Tetsujin]

This two vets in garbage time in lieu of any young players thing just seems like petulance on Luke’s part.

I miss jerry, Mark’s lines don’t hit the same

 

[dude12]

Ok....all the kids are in
