I genuinely don't understand this flagrant. Like what is Len supposed to do if he's trying to contest the shot? Wiggins jumped 2 feet ahead to land on Len's foot I find it hilarious guys are getting beat up in the paint with no calls but a guy tries to contest a 3 and it's a flagrant. Silly...

Really curious how refs call this one. Soft whistle really benefits Warriors I think. If it's a physical game, Kings benefit. Will be crucial Kings main guys to stay out of foul trouble - less important for Warriors outside of Curry to stay out of foul trouble, since their "others" are really...

It is definitely more of a system stat - But I think it also shows Kings have 2 bigs that fit their system pretty well. Example - targeting a big low in screen assists may not wise unless they want to tinker with the system/offensive philosophy.

Agree. And it's shocking. I mean "Hero Ball" is so 2008. By now, teams should understand even in the clutch, run an offense, pass the ball, etc. When Kings are down, or other team goes on run, Fox tends to press things. He's gotta play smarter and still run offense same way.

Never posted in this thread but have a post that fits great. Saw a clip from JJ/Lebron podcasts on screen assists being underrated & how it should be in box scores so I looked up leaders in screen assists. Sabonis leads league in screen assists per game AND Len leads league in screen assists per...

NBA changed rule on this few years - Clock has to show 15 for it to be violation because clock starts at 23.99 technically. I know the 2nd play you're referencing and he got over just in time.

Why are they subbing out Len for defensive possessions? Just weird and makes no sense.

Yeah I don't understand why they're backing up on him, he's not gonna blow by you or if he does there's help.

If Pelicans insist to just post up Val & Zion, Kings should let them. I've counted 4 postups vs. Len so far & only 3 points generated from those so far. Let them play 1 on 1 vs post-ups. I like Kings aren't doubling w/ Len in there.

Side note - Why was Kessler Edwards glued to the bench this game? Honestly he's a guy I'd prefer to guard SGA & Jalen Williams over Mitchell, at least for some stretch. Seemed like SGA figured out the smaller guard defense as the game went along ... Edwards would have offered more resistance

I'm just tired of the what 38-10 minute ratio of Sabonis/Len the last couple weeks? (without looking it up). I mean Sabonis just looks exhausted in the 4th quarter ... How bout having more of a 32-16 distribution. Fox too looks gassed too much. When the bench is rolling early on, they should...

As someone who bet UNDER for Sasha's props today I am very frustrated he's not getting garbage minutes because instead of winning every bet, they'll be voided now :confused: smh Coach Brown Scratch that - he's in, yes!

Agreed. I'm not saying this is THE solution, but it's really dumb they haven't even given this an extended look this season. All I remember was like 3 minutes in a Bucks game earlier on. Len doesn't even have to shoot 3's for it to work in my opinion - Both Len/Sabonis are good at the...

Sasha was to blame there - he didn't have to come over. Len was recovering there, wasn't necessary.

Seems like every game Fox comes in for the 2nd run in late 1st Q - Kings just explode. This Fox - Mitchell/Ellis - Sasha - Lyles - Len is just dominating every game at this point (2/3 games I know ... )
