Uh oh Wagner

That’s not good

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Keegs just broke Frank’s ankle. Literally

Looked like a bad step replaying it, but the ankle didn't tweak a ton. Don't know if that's good or bad, but he was really gimping once he got up.

 

[coolhandluke]

Doesn't look good for Franz.

 

[hrdboild]

It's nice to see Keegan being aggressive with his offense early. We're a much better team when he's playing with confidence on both ends of the floor.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

With Duarte starting and Monk still getting his normal time, looks like Huerter's time on the floor is drastically reduced. This is not just a swap of starter to backup

 

[coolhandluke]

Good offense and defense by Barnes.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Good offense and defense by Barnes.

have to point it out when its there.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Murray catching bodies tonight.

Huerter is playing the backup 3, not the backup 2 (Monk). Keegan/Barnes are still on the floor, so Kevin has to wait.

 

[coolhandluke]

Holy Keegan!

 

[pdxKingsFan]

good god Keegs.

 

[Sluggah]

New year maybe means time for a new prescription on them contacts

 

[Kingz19]

Javale?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

If that's the case, it will be interesting how many less hand off shots he gets around the top. Was really his go to shot

 

[iowamcnabb]

Len Len Len Len Len

 

[Kingz19]

Is that already a new career high for Anthony Black?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Woof

 

[Capt. Factorial]

He probably (and hopefully!) won't get too many of those out of JaVale.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Fox is forcing too much. Still need to get good shot attempts

 

[gunks]

Fox hobbling a bit?

 

[Sluggah]

Bad 3pt shooting team of professional basketball players can make wide open ones. Who knew.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Of course they are 5/6 from 3. Why wouldn’t a bad shooting team go off haha

 

[Kingz19]

Great. Another team “not known for their three point shooting” lighting it up from three against the Kings

Kings on the other hand have slightly more of a pulse than last night but still look way out of sorts offensively and defensively

 

[hrdboild]

Not a good first quarter for our bench squad. Mostly empty minutes from 5 different guys.

 

[coolhandluke]

Another mid game for the Kings so far. Have to crank it up on both ends.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

He probably (and hopefully!) won't get too many of those out of JaVale.

Haha, right. Brings up another point....is a back and forth between McGee and Len really the best idea? Len has looked good again, and is proficient at the hand off passes.

 

[coolhandluke]

Great. Another team “not known for their three point shooting” lighting it up from three against the Kings.

It's easy to hit those threes when no is defending them.

 

[hrdboild]

Defensive 3 seconds a point of emphasis here for the refs or what?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Bad 3pt shooting team of professional basketball players can make wide open ones. Who knew.

Don't play the numbers. Just play good solid defense

 

[hrdboild]

Orlando's shooting is reverting to the mean.
