[Game] Kings @ Spurs, 3/29/21 5:30pm PST, 8:30pm EST

not to get off track but what letters or combination form the r sound if I may ask?

So, the oe or œ is often the equivalent of the German ö, an additional letter in their alphabet. For pronunciation reference, schön would be a common word you could pop into Google translate or the equivalent and hear. The native sound is probably much more subtle than what an English speaker would be comfortable with, but “Purtle” is closest/easiest in this case.

That was some NBA Jam sorta pass Haliburton to Holmes.

 

[SacTownKid]

That Poetl shot is a perfect example right behind the D. The Kings are playing middle not to stop mid range offense but penetration when they aren't even tying to penetrate.

 

[Tetsujin]

White suddenly Steph from outside.

 

[SLAB]

How many teams has Jakob Peotl killed this season? I’m going to put my money on “not very many.”

 

[Tetsujin]

Keldon is good but he can’t guard Barnes.

 

[Woot!]

Whiteside would be really helpful right now. 9 offensive boards for the Spurs keeping them in it.

 

[Tetsujin]

****ing refs

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Fox not using his head. Getting over excited

 

[SacTownKid]

Weak sauce call but probably won't change. I guess he kind of has to challenge that with the fouls Fox has already.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Well we got lucky on the Fox defensive foul, now we need to get lucky again.

 

[Tetsujin]

Luke with the nice challenge?????

 

[SacTownKid]

This might be a good time to ditch the 3 guard stuff and go with Harkless and Barnes and become fully switchable? Huh? Maybe? haha.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Think they got it right. Well done

 

[Iced Espresso]

Pop may get a technical on a borderline call to come soon.

 

[SLAB]

Lordy, DeFo!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

68 points in San Antonio. Looks good

 

[SacTownKid]

Good teams close out halves. Just sayin'. lol.

 

[Tetsujin]

I am running out of words to describe how amazing De’Aaron has been on a regular basis.

 

[Sluggah]

Man, gambling with Fox’s foul situation really paid off. Credit where credit is due, Luke.

Edit: But probably mostly Fox’s credit

 

[iowamcnabb]

Well defense was rough but Fox and the Three has us ahead at the half.

 

[Woot!]

Think they got it right. Well done

Absolutely. Offensive players initiate contact ALL the time and get the foul calls. I think that *should* be an offensive foul. But that's not how that's ever called.

 

[Telemachus]

How many teams has Jakob Peotl killed this season? I’m going to put my money on “not very many.”

He had 20 & 9 in their previous game.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Spurs only 2 FT's

We got lucky with the Fox foul before the offensive....wonder how the Spurs fans feel about the refs tonight?

 

[Woot!]

Kings shot some crazy-big percentage in the 2nd.

 

[Section 101]

Whiteside would be really helpful right now. 9 offensive boards for the Spurs keeping them in it.

He's hurt.

If White was sliding his feet I would agree, but he was twisted trying to get back into position.

I'm sure after that challenge they aren't happy, haha. Part of the reason is the Kings are giving them the mid range off pick and roll and Poeltl is behind the defense before they even know it. I expect that to change. He possibly can pull it off but I'd force Pop to find out of Poeltl can beat the Kings up in the post all by himself off the switch. Dangle it like a carrot. If he punishes the Kings then figure it out from there.

 

[Woot!]

He's hurt.

I know.

 

[sactowndog]

Fox has definitely taken a leap this year. Dude may get that All-NBA bonus
