if i knew how to make this a "flash poll", i would

but i don't.

still, when push comes to shove

(other than a small ball lineup)

in general/tonight

which guards would you like to see at the end?

fox
buddy

fox
halliburton

halliburton
buddy

?

All 3 of them.

 

[Volblorx8634]

I would really like to see Fox and Tyrese staggered more. Give them 2 or 3 minutes on the floor together before subbing Fox out.

 

[Hoovtrain]

This is absurd

What is going on here.

 

[macadocious]

Our D is atrocious

FVV is who CoJo thinks he is

 

[Capt. Factorial]

What is going on here.

Toronto stole our cheat code from the first quarter.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Well writing is on the wall. Pathetic. Toronto steps up the physicality and the kings wilt

It’s a shame they don’t have a plus-plus level interior defender chilling on the bench doing nothing.

 

[Volblorx8634]

You have to switch today. The problem with Luke is he also helps off the 3 in the process and/or switches while playing big. Switching is rotating man to man defense, stick with it or give up the exact shots teams want spotting up.

With many players, that's true, but I just think it's done too often and even when guarding players who don't demand it

 

[Hoovtrain]

Is Walton going to make some sort of defensive adjustment here or wait until they go down 20?!

 

[macadocious]

We have a glaring SF sized hole in this roster.

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

We have Haliburton on the floor, just run pnr plays with a big, why give ball to CoJo he does not add nothing.

 

[SacTownKid]

The Kings don't have the backbone of a true offense and rotation to succeed. Look at that last Buddy pnr for instance. He's got Joseph playing off the ball. The Raps for real just triple, TRIPLE, did I say... TRIPLED Buddy and they couldn't generate a shot somewhere off the ball out of it? WTF dude. Seriously?

 

[iowamcnabb]

We are shooting 68 percent and 54 from 3 and are down 9. Ive never witnessed something like this before.

 

[kb02]

Kings need to match the Raps physicality.

 

[k_dubb90]

This gotta be the “Alvin gentry replaces Luke Walton as interim head coach” game if we take this L

 

[SacTownKid]

With many players, that's true, but I just think it's done too often and even when guarding players who don't demand it

That's true. We've seen too much of a willingness since the start that had Fox switching onto every center in the post, haha. But, the Kings are doing some of the exact things you can't do in switch though. Like hard doubles with a big then expecting a Cojo to handle the paint on help. lol.

 

[SLAB]

The league has deemed he stepped out of bounds again.

 

[SLAB]

This gotta be the “Alvin gentry replaces Luke Walton as interim head coach” game if we take this L

I’d happily take the L in that case.

 

[SacTownKid]

This is where we are going to get a different look at Haliburton. Teams are going to go at him from this game on I'd bet. If he just relies on his court vision that glue soul of his will get his teammates easy looks.

 

[SLAB]

No foul, give me a *******ing break.

 

[kb02]

No foul, give me a *******ing break.

Yea, that was foul.

 

[Hoovtrain]

I want to throw my remote: what a freaking joke

 

[Hoovtrain]

No foul, give me a *******ing break.

pretty blatant

 

[luckytkp]

Walton didn't even brother to put ur best shotblocker for that final play.

 

[kingsboi]

111 through three quarters and they are missing their starting PG? yikes. I'm glad I didn't purchase League Pass this season I can say that much

 

[SacTownKid]

Robinson has some decent wing offensive skills but yeah, he's not a true combo. Lets see Woodard please.

At some point I just hope the Kings realize that their best defense is a good offense. Too many lineups don't support that though and the results are pretty evident.

 

[vladtheimpaler]

stanley johnson is still in the league?

halli had his (2) chances at glory - and did not succeed as the third quarter ended (kings down 6)

There is no way Woodard will get rotation minutes unless someone is injured.
