Nice!

 

[EIM86]

That’s not going to work against a non-g league team.

Lol drinking a ton of haterade today

 

[Woot!]

Very nice boost provided by TT.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I don't think Davion got it off in time.

yeah it's coming off.

 

[Entity]

Not seeing "best player." But he does work hard consistently, on and off-court, and that alone makes him easy to root for.

Who is better?

 

[kb02]

Doesn't change the statement and the truth therein.

Again, Fox may be the best scorer on this team, but he’s still not elite. And certainly not efficient.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

And I noticed when Harkless picked up his 4th, Gentry went right to Buddy. Walton would have went to Metu, the waterboy, etc.

A good coach doesn't eliminate any possibilities, before the game even starts. I hate deciding that someone has no chance to play, regardless of how the action is playing out.

Walton would have never even thought of Thompson tonight. Low and behold, he's got it going

My dude salty that the Kings didn't hit the over in the first half.

 

[EIM86]

It didn't kill everybody's drive. And being a professional is a pretty damn big difference. And then when you consider that Fox's s****y play was a big reason for the underperformance in the first place... So, apparently, the answer to "What's the matter w/De'Aaron?" was: "He's pouting."

Ugh.

The entire bench was checked out eventually.

 

[New Era]

That basket is getting taken away

Truth hurts.

Maybe I missed a post, or two, trying to keep track of the thread, but I don't recall that being the question.

 

[Tetsujin]

Marvin rejuvenated by playing for Gentry lol

Yeah, and a good coach recognizes when talent is needed, how to use that talent, and when role play isn't enough or the answer.

 

[Entity]

I didn’t pay a lot of attention at first. But I have been looking the last 8 or so games. Does anybody recall seeing a dunk by Fox all season?

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Remember when they didn't take baskets like that away by automatic review

 

[kb02]

Maybe I missed a post, or two, trying to keep track of the thread, but I don't recall that being the question.

The Kings lacking elite talent is contextual.

 

[Tetsujin]

Tristan certainly playing like he's glad Luke's gone

 

[EIM86]

This team looks like they’re having fun for once

None.

 

[Woot!]

Who is better?

Going back to last year - this one still hasn't settled yet - I'd rank Buddy behind Fox, Holmes, HB, and possibly Tyrese (the usual suspects).

 

[Tetsujin]

Tyrese out here getting destroyed by Korkmaz all night. Man, what has happened to him?

 

[EIM86]

Tristan certainly playing like he's glad Luke's gone

It was pretty strange how he never played TT especially when we needed a board

 

[SacTownKid]

Truth hurts.

And one truth doesn't necessarily negate the other. That all may be true about Fox, but ON THIS TEAM, he is clearly the only legit star/superstar/whatever type on the roster. No matter whether it fails in the W/L column over the long haul or not. And if he plays well, those potential moves become more of an option anyway.

 

[Tetsujin]

Tristan out here gobbling up all the boards Reggie Evans style

 

[EIM86]

My friend that’s a Faker fan said Walton’s rotations were terrible and while I knew that after watching years of it it’s just really Noticeable today

 

[iowamcnabb]

Hyped

 

[Tetsujin]

LOL this is so sloppy but also the most fun the Kings have looked in two weeks

 

[Woot!]

Tyrese not shooting much or well, but that 9:1 asst/TO ratio is awfully nice, especially considering that the rest of the team is 7:10.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

None.

According to BBRef he has one this year. It's not like he's a prolific dunker anyway, only 17 all last year. But yes, off his previous pace.
