[Game] Kings vs. Sixers, 11/22/21 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[Capt. Factorial]

Develop Bagley!

 

[iowamcnabb]

We can’t have one or two guys having a good game and expect to win. This has happened ALOT this year. Crazy.

You can kiss that Simmons trade goodbye

The obsession with Fox is comical and so predictable for this board as the new scapegoat. @kb02 won't shut up about him. Meanwhile, Hali refuses to shoot is 0-5 from the field, 0-3 from 3 with 0 points. I love Hali and he's easily the best playmaker/passer on this team, but the dude needs to get aggressive and look for his offense. That's a bigger problem than Fox scoring 23 points on 15 shots and 8-10 from the FT line.

We all knew Fox and Buddy’s stat line would improve with a focus on pace. We also knew the W-L record would be more losses than wins.

 

[Woot!]

Regardless of what the play is, Fox' shooting is really bad. The misses aren't close

Turns out he was slacking because of Luke but shooting like crap because of Gentry.

 

[SacTownKid]

Fox blackholing for a score when the opposing defense is not trying may work. Doesn’t work so well in crunch time.

And how did Haliburton/Davion going 1 on 1 look? It is what it is. They were shook down the stretch just like a team will be heading into their 8th straight loss. In handful of games where things sit is where they sit. Then it's on Monte. As long as the teams key pieces start performing better then the options open up.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

We just lost to the sixes bench!! How low can you go

 

[joemama]

welp, too many bricks

They were what, 0/10 from 3 in the fourth?

 

[SLAB]

We just lost to the sixes bench!! How low can you go

Don’t ask. They’ll always surprise you. Lmao

 

[k_dubb90]

Welp I done officially checked out this season. Damn near done with this team as bad as it sounds

Im not a fan of any offense that is based on black holing.

 

[SacTownKid]

Coaching change ain't gonna change much in less than 24 hours. I'm willing to give them an actual practice or two to implement some things that make sense

He did run more of what usually works early on. Then he got a little creative. The only scary thing is his initial comments about not changing much but I'd say they are closer to the best path than yesterday.

 

[Groovygreg]

I love the new-look Kings! The innovative ways that they imploded down the stretch against an opponent that they should beat is like a breath of fresh air.

 

[Woot!]

I didn't say it was, I just feel there is a reason why buddy shouldn't start. He's a black hole. I thought we would actually run a offense this game smh I was wrong. Norm a coach firing lights a fire, I was wrong,

Sad biznez, innit?

maybe, but hard to say Hali hurt them too much when he’s +9 in over 30 minutes while the other major minute players ranged from -9 to -17 (Fox and Barnes). Nice to see Fox hit the free throws though.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

I'm sitting this one out tonight. Not wasting any more of my time on this team today. We deserve better.

OK, what should they be running?

 

[joemama]

If Monte thinks playing faster will solve some of our problems he's horribly mistaken.
More moves are needed.

You can kiss that Simmons trade goodbye

As Kings fans we tend to overvalue our players. Monte almost made a good trade (Buddy for Harrell/Kuzma) and could have made anotjer good trade Fox for Simmons but I think Philly will pass now.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

You realize that maybe Hali and Davion and HB and Mo all had atrocious games shooting tonight right?

I'm talking about our max player. If this shooting continues, it's a terrible contract

 

[NewArena]

Don't get me wrong, though. I know we're pretty bad right now but we still have more talent than a couple teams i can think of. We are NOT this bad lol and that's why quite a few of us are so down at the moment

 

[kb02]

OK, what should they be running?

Not what, who. Hali should be the primary decision maker. Those cuts that the other Kings players are making, they don’t go unrewarded. There were a few times where it 1 vs 3 in the paint. Even Giannis pssses to an opponent teammate 50% of the time in those instances.

 

[kingdivac]

The stands are gonna go from half to quarter full, unless they slash ticket prices by 2/3.....lower level $40 and upper $5. Incompetence....another loss or 2, and full experimentation must commence - start anyone and everyone and put every player on a High School leash - you F up you take the pine . You do well, you play....simple merit based playing time.

 

[Tetsujin]

He was our best player tonight

 

[steelevt]

The ty/holmes pnr seemed to be working. Dunno why they always go away from it

 

[iowamcnabb]

Imagine if we traded Buddy, we would be making about 10 percent of our threes haha.

 

[Tetsujin]

The ty/holmes pnr seemed to be working. Dunno why they always go away from it

the Sixers put Thybulle on Tyrese. Ty didn't respond well.

 

[sactowndog]

this team can’t shoot for beans. It’s time to blow it up

The problem isn’t just the team can’t shoot. The problem is the team is undersized at almost every spot and still can’t shoot. That problem is on the GM and no coach can square that circle.

 

[SacTownKid]

If Monte thinks playing faster will solve some of our problems he's horribly mistaken.
More moves are needed.

Can't both be true? Look Monte F'd up. More than a few of us were completely baffled he decided to run this back almost completely intact in the first place and after drafting a 3rd PG he figured Harkless was just fine and dandy at SF. Whoops! Moves are obviously needed, but the problems come from multiple places. I'm still not sure Gentry isn't a sign that this isn't just Monte still being too chicken to cross the road or not, but so far, strategically things were already better in some ways.

Unbalanced roster.
