[Game] Bulls vs. Kings

[The_Jamal]

Damn it Smart. Why do you keep turning the ball over!

 

[Reke]

c'mon Cuz

 

[Sac.Kings]

And here comes the collapse..

 

[gunks]

Floppy Noah.

 

[gman23]

Noah at 8 ft let him shoot it cousins, don't do a silly foul

 

[Uk kings fan]

FFS Cuz

 

[gman23]

Had such high hopes for the 1st game of the season.

 

[rainmaker]

Why does JJ keep attacking?

 

[Sac.Kings]

Disgusting. What a disappointment.

 

[Tetsujin]

I have a great idea guys, let's forget that Reke exists and not give him the ball

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Wellllllllll, this is bad. Thibs is good. Bulls are killing us on D.

 

[spudfan]

They all look completely lost out there.

 

[Tetsujin]

Had such high hopes for the 1st game of the season.

Keep in mind we're playing the best defensive team in the NBA over the past decade.

 

[Larry89]

no one on the team has a role, everyone tries to do everything at once, no one even gets open in the half court

 

[swisshh]

The Bulls are being allowed physical contact that the Kings are not, but that's not the main issue. The Kings aren't going to the best shot available on offense and forcing the harder pass or play rather than taking what is there.

 

[Uk kings fan]

i fear thats game,set and match right there tempted to go to bed right now tbh...

 

[DesertFox]

This is JJ's problem. He makes a lot of things happen on both sides of the ball, good and bad. The ones on offense are easy to solve, just don't force it.

 

[Tetsujin]

Also, why have IT and JJ taken more shots than Reke?

It is all 1 on 1.. nothing has changed. Continuation of last season. Tyreke has been frozen out completely

 

[HereWeBoogie]

great. i knew i shouldn't have been so optimistic.

 

[rainmaker]

Reke has 1 shot since 3 min mark of 1st.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

has Tyreke touched the ball yet in the 3rd quarter?

 

[Tetsujin]

great. i knew i shouldn't have been so optimistic.

It's the first game of the season against the best team in the East last year.

 

[Tetsujin]

If Noah has a booboo, our chances of winning increase drastically

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Reke has 1 shot since 3 min mark of 1st.

perfect. lets abandon what was working so well in the first quarter. good coaching

 

[SacTownKid]

Not surprising at all right now. The Bulls have gone to a full zone and are just rotating side to side in the mid paint area. Finally caught up and this is why Reke at SG and JJ at SF is going to be a problem and for this to work Reke needs to be the PG in the offense or Cousins has to be a mid-range face up player.

Two players are having a tough time right now with no space, IT and Cuz. Cuz played it the way you would expect early, he was mostly a face up player and it worked. IT was trying to get into the paint and struggled from the get doing that because there was no room. Still is. As the 2nd half has gone on the Kings have switched up their strategy, they are desperately trying to start the offense in the paint with Cousins, sorry guys, no space to work and 4 defenders inside every play.

Now, the shooters aren't playing well tonight for the Kings but this is entirely indicative of how I expect most teams to defend the Kings.

 

[spudfan]

It's the first game of the season against the best team in the East last year.

Negative. The best team in the east last year had this guy named Rose playing for them. This team isn't close to being that team.

 

[UK_King]

has Tyreke touched the ball yet in the 3rd quarter?

Yes.

 

[Uk kings fan]

ah im going to bed almost 2 here..... good luck kings

 

[Brooklyn King]

we're ****ed..
