[Game] Kings at Celtics, 1/25/2022 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET

[Capt. Factorial]

The Kings are heading out to Boston to take on the somewhat disappointing (i.e. .500 record) Celtics. The injury report has Metu as doubtful (knee soreness) and Fox and Damian Jones (both ankle soreness) questionable for the Kings at this point. The Celtics are for now healthy (OK, they're without newly-acquired P.J. Dozier and Bol Bol, both recovering from surgery, but it was a salary dump trade and they knew it).

So go ahead and do game thread things in here!

Holmes and Bagley as ur interior bigs is comical.

 

[SacTownKid]

Right now the only shots they seem to be getting are tough. No Fox means every step back 3 you don't hit, the bigger hole they dig.

Holmes and Bagley as ur interior bigs is comical.

The Kings trying to play big against this team so far is NOT working well. They are bigger than 6'7" every spot from SG up and their PG is 6'4" 200 plus. Go small, out run them. Give Haliburton some freaking space!

Boston announcers making fun of Hali’s shooting form…

 

[kb02]

Bagley not helping his trade value

 

[SacTownKid]

Shooting right over the top of the Kings guards. Go SMALL Gentry!!!

 

[dude12]

Down 17 already. At least Hali is a good connector

 

[Sluggah]

Guess these guys don’t want to be traded to Boston?

 

[O0chieboomboom]

This team is embarrassing

 

[SacTownKid]

Bagley not helping his trade value

Not sure how it's his fault so far. Haliburton has little to no space on on pick and roll is just dumping it back to his bigs like a hot potato.

 

[kb02]

I wonder if I can make it to halftime.

 

[Sluggah]

Hahaha…Metu’s jacket. Surprised they allowed it.

He could move the ball by dribbling or passing out instead of forcing up awkward shots. Black hole.

 

[SacTownKid]

LOL. Gentry goes small but reduces his talent level in the form of Harkless/Jones to do it. Yep, shoudla went DC Monte. lol.

 

[kb02]

Comical

To who? If you run pick and roll offense 1-2 passes at best is the goal.

 

[SLAB]

Ya, I’m not even gonna hate watch this seeing the score. Lmao

Bagley ain’t rolling.

We’d only be down 15 with Fox!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[kb02]

im about to turn it off

 

[kb02]

Celts aren’t even playing great defense. Just being physical and staying in front of their man.

 

[SacTownKid]

Bagley ain’t rolling.

Haliburton has dumped it off more than once and way early. The issue with Haliburton right now is if a defense stumps him he drops it off way before his big can even roll. That's why playing big is even more stupid than usual.

 

[gunks]

Playoffs are the goal

hahahaha

 

[dude12]

Where is the Halliburton imprint on this game?

 

[sactowndog]

This looks like a JV versus Varsity game

 

[dude12]

Going to lose by 40
