[Game] Kings @ Grizzlies, 11/28/21 3pm Pacific 6pm Eastern

[HndsmCelt]

Meanwhile players from the 1980s are laughing hysterically at what it's now a flagrant foul

 

[dude12]

We got no pace on O and are slow getting back on D…..we are cooked for this game

 

[TaxMan]

Pathetic

 

[dude12]

Gentry…go deeper on your bench and use King and Ramsey. They are fresh

 

[New Era]

See ya guys

 

[iowamcnabb]

Grizz with 12 more makes in 2 more attempts. Make your shots? usually win. Miss 'em? .....

 

[HndsmCelt]

I'm not a genius, or an NBA coach or anything but I'm thinking if the other team keeps scoring and rebounding you off your missed shots maybe shooting more threes is not the answer.

 

[SacTownKid]

Metu might not have a career as the next Patrick Patterson. Good looking stroke but something is off about it.

 

[O0chieboomboom]

TT pissed off… yelled STOP SHOOTING THREES

They need to tell him to stop being a gaping wound defensively on pick and roll, haha.

*sigh

 

[New Era]

I predict this WON'T be a 28 page game thread

 

[HndsmCelt]

This is a special kind of ugly.

 

[TaxMan]

76 points at half. That’s bad effort, bad scheme, bad execution.

Bump….let’s make it happen!!

There are 89.7 million dogs in the country, still too few to give a big enough "woof" for this game.

 

[iowamcnabb]

pretty deflating. hard to dig yourself out of a hole that large. even if you trim ten points off the lead in the 3rd.... Oi vey

 

[Albatros]

Yeah I've seen enough. Has Gentry put a ban on shooting 2s? Horrible offense. Absolutely no effort on defense. Even Mitchell is just letting people walk by him.

The excuse will be fatigue from the overtime game but this is horrible.

I don't want to see Metu shoot ever again.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Egad.

 

[New Era]

Free King from the bench!!

 

[SacTownKid]

The ugliness is not surprising considering, but man, I'm concerned. Even with Barnes out you're seeing a team gobble up the Kings on pick and roll while offensively Fox sat off the ball at the start as he watched Haliburtons own pick and roll game get blown up by tight coverage. Without Barnes, Fox and Buddy are the only players that can get their own shots, it's just a reality, and Gentry should be creating shots off of that fact. And the other reality is with Gentry leading the charge what little defensive identity they had is gone so getting the best shots are the ones that are geared towards your best players. Teams will take Metu and Thompson shooting 10+ times a game. And more often than not, those teams will win by doing so because it means your spacing is out of whack and thus all your top options.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Maybe the strategy is to let the grizzlies wear their arms out shooting so much so that they're too sore and tired playing the fourth?

 

[SacTownKid]

Free King from the bench!!

With this group, if Marvin isn't part of the action, then King's probably the only other player that can get his own offense. He did it last year.

 

[SacTownKid]

And that should just about do it. On top of digging that hole they don't have it at all. Shots are short, step slow on D. Ramsey and King please! Don't pull a "no such thing as garbage time" Walton BS thing here Gentry.

 

[SLAB]

Imagine the vitriol if Luke was losing by 30. Lol, now it’s just sad realization … the players really suck, in addition to the coaching.

 

[dude12]

Only reason to watch is to see King and Ramsey

No

 

[dude12]

King getting minutes

 

[dude12]

King bucket looked smooth

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Damian Jones gets a flagrant for a hard box out. Lou King gets steamrolled in mid air by JJJ...yeah, that's just a common foul. No need to review or anything.
