[Game] Kings @ Raptors, 12/13/2021 4pm Pacific 7pm Eastern

At this point, if you want to win, you're going to need to sit Barnes.

 

[The_Jamal]

Wonder if these guys have been told they're gonezo?

 

[Tetsujin]

De'Aaron looks like the only one who cares right now for whatever it's worth.

At this point, if you want to win, you're going to need to sit Barnes.

He's certainly not right, but maybe put him at PF, where he belongs? They are about to melt away all value they've built in Barnes playing him back at SF. Wake up Monte, this is why Vlade got him for peanuts in the first place. Don't sap all value out of him now.

 

[Sluggah]

Hard to ignore work for this.

 

[jiimbob]

Guess Toronto made an okay call passing on Suggs and going with Barnes.

Otherwise just another game showing we need major changes.

 

[Krunker]

Toronto getting so many good looks right at the hoop, SMH

 

[Letsgokings13]

Just stay in Canada. Don't bother coming back. We can turn the arena into a soup kitchen because it already houses a bunch of bums

 

[Woot!]

Bitterly funny to hear Kayte (anyone) talk about how so-and-so is dearly missed - Holmes in this case. When HB was out, it was him. When Fox is out and the Kings lose a bunch, it's him. When Halibuton was out early last year, he was the guy they missed dearly.

Truth is that the Kings have been terrible when EVERYONE is healthy, and terrible way too often against teams w/FAR bigger injury issues. Like tonight.

We need to stop pretending, fellas.

 

[Tetsujin]

Harrison needs to sit for a while until he's either traded or fully healthy because this isn't getting it done.

 

[KainLear]

OMG! Please give me five Duncan Robinson's for Buddy Hield!

The point is, $15-20m seems to be the going rate for pure shooters, Hield's $23m isn't as crazy as it was first signed.

 

[Woot!]

"Alex Len has 3 offensive rebounds already, Kayte."

3. 7. Whatever.

 

[dude12]

Bagley blocks out Boucher…..and it’s a foul? Eff off Holdzkamp

 

[Tetsujin]

Harrison keeps losing his man off the ball

 

[Tetsujin]

Harrison Barnes stop shooting bad contested threes challenge

 

[dude12]

This is the worst I’ve seen HB ever

 

[Sluggah]

Team has secretly been replaced by chairs.

 

[captain bill]

Lmao we just gave up 70 first half points in 2 consecutive games

 

[Woot!]

"Kayte, I'm not sure that [Harrison Barnes] has rediscovered his rhythm from the earlier this season."

 

[dude12]

Down 25. Sheesh

 

[KainLear]

No way Siakam witnessing this and would still wanna come here.

 

[Tetsujin]

I mean, if we're purely going off of today's game, keep Fox and Bagley and relegate the entire rest of the team to the G-League.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Team has secretly been replaced by chairs.

Raptors quickly go out and sign Yi Jianlian!

 

[PurpleHaze]

Very few Kings fans at the arena tonight in Toronto. Oh, found a couple bored ones in the crowd

 

[KainLear]

I mean, if we're purely going off of today's game, keep Fox and Bagley and relegate the entire rest of the team to the G-League.

It's like, teams usually have different players stepping up in contribution, here in Sacramento, we always have multiple players stepping down from being able to scored altogether.

 

[Tetsujin]

"Kayte, I'm not sure that [Harrison Barnes] has rediscovered his rhythm from the earlier this season."

That's putting it kindly. Harrison's playing like someone who's never even seen a basketball game before, let alone played in one.

 

[The_Jamal]

Team energy is just sapped. No one cares, no energy, no effort, no attempt to even try on defense. Bagley the only one with any juice out there.

I think someone (or multiple) people said they were getting shipped off. Team just looks checked out

 

[midtowner]

Maybe Canada can do us a solid and detain the team on fraudulent basketball charges?

 

[Woot!]

Harrison Barnes stop shooting bad contested threes challenge

I'm not seeing "bad contested threes" from HB. That's Buddy's schtick. In HB I'm seeing a guy who's just OFF, period. A pale imitation of his best self, which is to say going thru the motions, trying to do the right thing, but operating at 60% in every way. Which, along with the rest of the team, will get your a$$ kicked.

This is just pitiful.

 

[New Era]

Puke Walton loving every minute of this....and, really, who can blame him?
