Yeah... our shooting strokes come and go, but it is so encouraging that we've turnt 'em freakin' jets on early on D, keeping consistent pressure on Jrue and Middleton especially, who both currently at half time have 5 points each.
Very physical game so far by both teams. It's amazing how drastically different games are called and how inconsistent the refs are. This game is a little like the Suns game with the exception that the refs couldn't stop from blowing the whistle in that one for the Kings.
Good half. Hopefully HB or Keegan get going though. Shaky quarter for them offensively. Kings are playing well defensively and have mostly had a good game plan.
I expect more Jrue in the second half so I hope Kings are ready.
also, only one offensive rebound for Milwaukee in the first half. I love to see that
The great thing about the Kings is with this amount of shooting it's very rare for them all to be off. When Barnes isn't hitting, Keegan is. When Keegan is off, Huerter is doing his thing. When they're all off Lyles is on. And so on. The 3's did cool off and as we know, at some point it's likely to come down to mid range for the Kings but you can't let the Kings shoot like this and not pay most of the time.
Bucks use a lot of brute force and some skills, Kings use a lot skills and some solid force.
28 more minutes to play. Maybe Bucks will get tired a bit from the pace Kings try to keep? Let's hope.
I'm looking at it totally opposite. I want to see what kind of legs Holiday has in the 4th after being guarded closely by Mitchell and Fox for three quarters.

I feel a bit bad for TD (and have long felt for Richaun). But I love Brown going 10 deep. 10 legit rotation guys playing hard is tough to contend with. And it means that, except for Domas, no Kings has logged big minutes yet.
The main difference for this year's Kings, to quote Monty Williams, is that we have a serious chip on our shoulders and want to prove something. As long as we can be focused as a unit, no one would want to play us in the Playoffs.
But for real, I think we all just got spoiled with how good Keegan has been. Rookie walls happen, and we have a coaching staff that will turn every bad game into a learning opportunity so I'm not tripping.
