[Game] Kings vs. Blazers, 1/9/21 7pm PST, 10pm EST

That's why you play Whiteside coach!

 

[SacTownKid]

The smalls with Hassan getting some stuff done. This is the best shot we get at him playing a real legit small ball team with size from SG-PF. Shocker, looks more like what we were supposed to see this year.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Ok this is a bit more tolerable

 

[SLAB]

Ok this is a bit more tolerable

Just wait until we come back and Whiteside is off the court!

They better stop packing the paint though. With Dame they could send this into a bad place in a hurry. Their bench doesn't have a lot of shooting on it.

 

[SLAB]

The OPEN sign has been turned back on.

 

[Woot!]

Just wait until we come back and Whiteside is off the court!

Whiteside has played 15 min or more twice this year. Maybe he can make it 3! (No jinx!)

Absolutely unacceptable.

 

[SacTownKid]

Finally, a real freaking Hali/Bagley pick and roll.

 

[Woot!]

TH is too unselfish.

 

[hrdboild]

I'm still pissed that Fox can't get a call in the paint and the Blazers are able to draw a foul if anyone breathes on them... but it looks like we've found something on defense here in the 2nd quarter. I like the Haliburton/Whiteside two man game when Nurkic is on the bench. Kanter can't guard anyone under the basket.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

if covid dosent kill me the boredom from this game will

 

[Iced Espresso]

There we go twice in a row pick & roll with Bagley, Kanter is bad defensively.

He should of shot the first time, but at least they are attacking the weakness now.

 

[SLAB]

Yikes Buddy...

 

[luckytkp]

whiteside out and Portland had 3 layups

 

[SLAB]

WHITESIDE AGAIN.

Walton has realized a thing. I’m as shocked as you are.

 

[kb02]

Buddy needs to play against second units.

 

[Woot!]

Do refs even call 3-seconds any more?

 

[SacTownKid]

These rotations are that of a desperate coach. Can we just get this awkwardness over with yet? hahaha.

 

[SacTownKid]

Buddy needs to play against second units.

Buddy needs to be the one spotting up waiting to CATCH AND SHOOT. Walton is using him to draw double teams and run defenders around but he's kicking it out to players that teams want to shoot.

 

[Tetsujin]

If any of our three non-CoJo (i.e. good) guards has an okay game, this is much closer than it currently is. Everyone is playing with dead legs right now.

 

[SLAB]

These rotations are that of a desperate coach. Can we just get this awkwardness over with yet? hahaha.

At least this one makes sense.

-Giant man comes in and plays interior defense, game starts to change.

-Giant man sits, paint is now unguarded.

-Put Giant man back in.

That’s not desperate that’s adjustment.

Walton runs the same sets for all of his players regardless of their individual skill sets

 

[SLAB]

Is that New JJ?!

 

[SLAB]

Two travels for Haliburton this game. He sucks. Trade him.

 

[dude12]

JJ is in....ok

 

[hrdboild]

Why isn't Barnes on the floor right now?

 

[SacTownKid]

Emperors done naked. Do your thing Monte. He's put in Justin James.

 

[luckytkp]

Lol, the game was only a 9 point game when whiteside left. It’s 15 when he returned

 

[kb02]

Doug's talking about physicality? No way!
