[Game] Kings @ Timberwolves 1/30/2023 5pm Pacific 8pm Eastern

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I guess Kevin Scott, Brian Forte and Nate Green decided they ain't calling no fouls tonight?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I don’t know about you guys, but I love when officials let the game play out and don’t try to call every ticky tack foul. Makes the game way more enjoyable to me.

That's certainly one way to look at it.

All the kids gotta hit The Mall Of America pretty hard

 

[SacTownKid]

Metu or Lyles switching onto Edwards is a terrible idea.

 

[Kingster]

Nice to see Fox play with effort at the beginning of a game. It makes a difference.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Edwards is a fun player. I really feel for Minny fans. Their front office rushed the build when an Edwards/KAT core could have developed alone perfectly fine. Or at least give them another Playoff run or two before mixing up the core.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Mutu matched up on Gobert? OK

 

[The_Jamal]

Fox Middy vs Gobert drop should match up extremely well

 

[SacTownKid]

Someone did some tape watching. Keeping running that middle pick and roll.

 

[The_Jamal]

lol wtf. Gobert fumbles the pass, but still gets a call...

 

[Kingz19]

Forget this lineup, put a different one in

 

[The_Jamal]

Watching Naz very closely here at the 4 with Gobert on the floor.

 

[gunks]

This 4 point lead feels like we're down 20

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Defense evaporating in the second quarter.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

We still have not made a shot outside the paint

 

[KF8]

Can we still win this being cold from 3...

Watching Naz very closely here at the 4 with Gobert on the floor.

sounds like the wolves plan to extend him if he agrees. Something to watch

 

[PurpleHaze]

Mark Jones favorite rambling topics: The weather outside, repeat, the weather outside. Food, latest fave restaurant or any chance to blurt out "fish grease." Anything Canada, any city, any town, any province north of US border. Add to list

 

[TaxMan]

Lead is nice but this feels so lethargic. Seems like offense is moving at a snails pace. They need to wake up before the wolves start hitting their shots.

 

[SacTownKid]

sounds like the wolves plan to extend him if he agrees. Something to watch

Yeah, I read that too. Are they moving KAT though? I think Naz could find a team where he could potentially start. Certainly a team where he can play more than 17 mpg.

 

[Kingz19]

Kings still haven’t made a three in this game. Remarkable they are ahead

I don’t really like their positioning. They don’t really look good and they are still awful defensively and Minnesota is slowly but surely remembering that.

they’ll be scoring on virtually every possession by the end of this quarter.

Kings really blew it with their poor first quarter performance offensively

 

[iowamcnabb]

I wonder if they track team and ones

 

[SacTownKid]

Yeah, we're seeing why Davion is 15th percentile in pick and roll this year. Yikes.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

We really haven’t hit a three in a quarter and a half.

 

[TaxMan]

Offense looks like complete crap right now

 

[Capt. Factorial]

That's going to go on Domas

 

[The_Jamal]

sounds like the wolves plan to extend him if he agrees. Something to watch

I don't see why he would. He very likely gets equal or better money and should land a starting job somewhere. Or at least somewhere where he's not stuck behind 2 max contract bigs that Minny is 100% tied to.

 

[TaxMan]

So Sabonis will get the offensive foul because he got him first.

 

[The_Jamal]

So Sabonis will get the offensive foul because he got him first.

Should just be a double foul, redo possession. Stupid that Gobert gets away with smacking Domas because it was a fraction of a second later.
