[Game] Kings vs. Grizzlies, 12/26/2021 3pm Pacific 6pm Eastern

[Groovygreg]

The Kings always get out hustled.

 

[SacTownKid]

And the Walton help down D makes it's UGLY comeback. Monte's ghost out there somewhere?

 

[captain bill]

Awful

 

[SLAB]

This team needs to be imploded, exploded, dismantled, and any other synonym. No one safe.

 

[miltonap]

Who's running this defense ?

 

[kb02]

Gotta move the ball to win this game. Playing a physical game against a more naturally physical team is fools gold.

Pure fools gold. Blow it up, Monte.

 

[Groovygreg]

This 2h would’ve been a good time for Fox to demonstrate his unstoppable scoring prowess.

Load management. He’s saving himself for the play-in.

 

[SacTownKid]

Who's running this defense ?

Is Burgermeister or whatever back too?

 

[SacTownKid]

Nah, the offense is based around making sure Metu/Jones take 14 shots while Fox and Haliburton take 12 a piece. What some of us saw in the 1st half? Yeah, this is what you get.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Im sure his rhythm is off, but he’s had problems all year against legit sized bigs.

He's really the least of their problems. A larger center is not going to suddenly put this team into winning ways

 

[miltonap]

It's just no surprise the Kings lose all the time, you run like two screens on them and it dismantles their defense

Jonas or Vuveivic or Sabonis would be god sends.

They are missing Len for sure. None of the Kings bigs other than him can bang with the Adams types. But this goes beyond that by far.

And once they double while playing small, which they routinely do, they are toast.

 

[Groovygreg]

Grizz come up the loose ball - again.

 

[SLAB]

Who's running this defense ?

There is no defense, so Alvin Gentry.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Bane kills us every game

Vivek nods and wildly shakes a Shaka at this post.

But having a center that doesn’t automatically get crushed by large men wouldn’t hurt. Holmes is a solid piece of any roster. He’s not a great starting option on an already really bad team.

Going to make millions off of the Kings when his next contract comes up.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Absolutely. Len is a useful NBA center. But his bigger size than Holmes, doesn't do much for their win total.

The big issues are 1-4 on this roster. Fit, players, etc

 

[PurpleHaze]

This must end

eberybody but Metu

If the Kings aren't going to run pick and roll like they need to, then that contract is going to be an albatross. If they do run it, it will be a steal. It's up to the person on the sidelines calling the shots.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I don't know why I still have this game on.

 

[SLAB]

eberybody but Metu

And TD.

 

[SacTownKid]

eberybody but Metu

Yeah, carve out whatever offense is left for the Kings new Siakam.

 

[SLAB]

WOODWARDS TIME TO SHINE

The problem this game is mostly on the defensive end. Dude got attacked all night.
