[Game] Kings @ Wizards, 2/12/2022, 4pm Pacific 7pm Eastern

[ESP47]

Fox is going to close this season with a vengeance. Haliburton was his anchor, as weird as it seems.

I'd still like to know why.

Metu is having himself a nice game off the bench

Apparently everyone saying one has to go was right

 

[pdxKingsFan]

We lost the trade? Is that how this works?

Kings go 25-0 but I give it an F when we give Gentry a 4 year contract.

It's not that weird. Even in the best-case scenario, Ty was probably supposed to have the key to run the offense where Fox turns into a straight 2.

We're seeing something quite interesting. In this one game, Fox at one point physically dominated his man. Barnes the same. Sabonis the same. Interesting.

You with the hot takes. Didn't you say "at this point I'd be good if I don't see Richaun ever again?"

meh, probably more than half of what I post is dripping in sarcasm.

Sabonis post —> All sarcasm

Holmes post —> Honestly would rather see Jones

It's called balance. Fox as your PG centerpiece was already proven to be a star. Monte might have eventually made this right so whatever it takes to get you there as long as you do I guess.

 

[dude12]

Holiday’s defense is really, really good

You know if we turn into a good team you won't be allowed to post here anymore

 

[KainLear]

Also, it's not anybody's fault but when you moved away from one of your more vocal leaders in Ty, Fox will have to assume that leading role out of necessity and suddenly that just unshackles him.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Sabonis lifts this team with his positive energy. Everyone is feeling it

I know I know... I'm just messing with ya

Just like with the Giants all last season I’ll be convinced it’s a mirage and then be right when we lose to LA again.

Several Scientific studies show when you build a team with better talent they tend to try harder

Couple different options

I think Sabonis is doing a lot of the alpha but in a way that doesn't interfere with Fox's position in the hierarchy, which is really beneficial.

Winning 107 then losing to the Dodgers isn’t good. It undid EVERYTHING!

They seemed to do alright with each other last year. There's really no obvious answer IMO. I just hope it wasn't Fox sulking because he thought Hali was stealing the spotlight. I'd want my star player to be mentally tougher than that.

 

[dude12]

Deeeeeeeeefense

It’s almost Newest JJ and Trey Lyles time.

Kings about to win their first road game since December 1st vs Clippers

On the other hand, it's fun to see Kuzma try to play the lead point role and made it all worse early in the 3rd quarter.

 

[dude12]

Man, I love the DDV and Holiday additions for their defense and ability to cover large areas.

Fox was being used differently, not Haliburton. Last year Haliburton was playing off of Fox. Monte raised value where he needed to and pulled the trigger at the right time. Star players that are flawed are going to looked horrible unless used right. As we've seen since Gentry took over.

 

[KainLear]

You can't be surprised by that stat, you are THE Capt. Factorial. You have all the facts!

that's a joke right

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Slow start today, but if we're the team we saw in the second half, we've got a good chance to move on up the standings.
