[Game] Kings @ Bulls, 2/20/21 6pm PST, 9pm EST

[Capt. Factorial]

That block looked clean

 

[SLAB]

Shocking a PF can easily back down your PF when it’s Buddy Hield. Can we fire Walton? And can he take CoNo with him?

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Def tanking

 

[dude12]

Put Jabari in with Bagley moron

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Fire walton

 

[SLAB]

Lmao now it’s CoNo’s turn to “play” PF!

—

I can’t believe he’s complaining. I’m shocked.

 

[Tetsujin]

“What do you do?”

not play four guards at once.

 

[Livinthedream]

Nice play by Fox, but Bulls player didn't want to leave Bagley open for 3. Stretch 4 is almost fully unlocked.

 

[luckytkp]

Walton is an idiot having a guard defending Young

 

[SLAB]

Oh cool. Hassan in for defense. 4 minutes to late, Walton.

 

[SacTownKid]

Not even Walton is this stupid. He's watching his 4 guards get munched and doing nothing about it. Now, wouldn't common sense be something like I wonder if Young can do that to DaQuan?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Oh cool. Hassan in for defense. 4 minutes to late, Walton.

He can give us 28.9 good seconds!

 

[SLAB]

Can’t do that, DeFi. Thanks, Hassan for the possession.

 

[Reverend]

Fox running the PNR over and over with Marvin, we love to see it

 

[Rob-The-Great]

I believe in Bagley

 

[Tetsujin]

Giving up 70 points in a half to the Bulls should be a fireable offense.

 

[SacTownKid]

The only logic I can think of that's behind the substitution patterns is tanking.

Probably part of it but it for sure is showcasing. Rookie GM mistakes perhaps. The only thing they've they have done tanked is the value of these assets they are trying to bring back to life at the 11th hour. What is the point here? They canned movement up the ladder to make up for losing Bogdan for nothing? haha, what's the deal here.

 

[SacTownKid]

I believe in Bagley

This is another rare game where they are running almost all pick and roll through him and again, he looks like a star.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

This is another rare game where they are running almost all pick and roll through him and again, he looks like a star.

Can do that every game. Hes a matchup nightmare with his speed and athletism

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Announcement:

I have made (and will eat) a delicious lasagna tonight to help stop the losing streak. I will let you know when the eating commences, should be in about an hour.

Calling in the big guns!

I apologize. I did not announce the commencement of the eating. I am however announcing it has been completed. Let's see how it impacts the second half.

 

[SacTownKid]

They can do a lot of things every game but Luke Walton is always going to find a point to put everyone back in the horns, haha.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Sad he will never resign with us.

18 points looked easy

 

[Tetsujin]

Yep. Those two supreme athletes are unguardable in the pick and roll now that they’ve become respectable perimeter shooters.

 

[mac]

Fox gotta stop it with the turnovers and missing FTs. Those alone account for at least 9 points.

 

[Reverend]

Sad he will never resign with us.

18 points looked easy

Well to tell you the truth, he doesn’t have much of a say over his future until the contract after his next, due to use having his bird rights. As long as we pick up his options and match any offers he receives, he will be under Kings control for the foreseeable future.

I don't think a rookie will turn down a potential max. That is if they offer him the max. If they play games then they better start looking at their options now, not later.

 

[SacTownKid]

So, does Walton still see Cory as a defensive stopper or does he need to look at the tape? Lavine shooting near 90%. hahaha.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Sad he will never resign with us.

Keep in mind that NBA rules are heavily stacked towards drafting teams retaining their draft picks beyond their rookie deals. Fox, if not traded, will be a King for at least 9 years. If we are willing to pay, then there's no way Marvin can leave before he plays 5 years for us, and he'd have to take a pay cut for a year (taking the QO to become an unrestricted FA after his fifth season) in order to do that.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Giving up 70 points in a half to the Bulls should be a fireable offense.

64.3% from the floor, 60% from 3

Just terrible.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Why are are 3s so broke this year
