[Game] 16/82: Kings @ Clippers 22 NOV 2024, 7:30pm PT/10:30pm ET

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I feel sorry for the fans that actually paid to watch this game.

Don't most of the people who paid to watch this game root for the Clippers, though?

Fox is probably gone if we dont start winning. I could see him wanting out.

I mean if Fox wants to start winning, maybe he should do something about the 1-7 for 4 point half.

Clear as day the last 3 games when he stayed aggressive and kept control of the offense. At some point, he's just got to establish the pecking order that he eats first and things run through him. But he's so often content to just defer and it ends up killing us.

That doesn't mean ball-hog, but All-NBA scorers don't just sit back and be content with 4 points in a half.

People can (foolishly) ***** and moan about ancillary guys like Huerter (and unfortunately Keegan right now) on offense, but I said this all last season too; this team only reaches it's ceiling if Fox is playing like a top 15 guy every single night.

If that happens Vivek is firing everybody. Hell, maybe he'd sell the team.

 

[MizzouKing]

Already looking better!

And most of those shots came later after he was completely OK standing and watching every player including Keegan go iso. Fox has to be a little more selfish.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Better late than never?

 

[DynaPamm]

Yeah, I almost shouted “NO! NOT OKAY!” at my TV

LMAO I DID YELL IT’S NOT EFFN OK WTH

 

[coolhandluke]

See that's how you call a timeout. Ty Lue demonstrating how to nip that momentum in the bud.

 

[Tetsujin]

To be fair, the Clippers were shooting terribly too. Just way better than the Kings.

 

[SacTownKid]

There we go. Fox calling his own number.

 

[SLAB]

They’re so back!

 

[sactowndog]

A bad team would actually be below .500. The fact that there are only three teams with winning records in the top half of that strength of schedule chart, according to your site, suggests that there may be some context missing from the equation.

or it would mean they played teams like OKC and GS twice. The chart is strength of schedule not a ranking of teams. The ranking is of the teams you have played.

 

[The_Jamal]

Fox 2 paint touches, 2 buckets.

 

[sactowndog]

Lol, not how this works. You seem to have an understanding of betting, I'm not giving the same "price" as I was with 2 more weeks of information and us on a losing streak.

haha. One can hope

 

[LoungeLizard]

Why did Ty Lue call time out…shouldn’t he wait til it’s a 12-0 or 14-0 run before doing that?

 

[SacTownKid]

It's about finding that pecking order. It's safe to say there is exactly 1 player on this team teams fear and that's De'Aaron Fox.

or a 20-1

Trust me, I noticed.

 

[Shaqfuey]

Fox 2 paint touches, 2 buckets.

Things seem to go better when they attack the paint.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Keegan did something to pee off a witch this summer didn’t he?

 

[SLAB]

Man, we’re playing 3 on 5 offensively with Keegan and Kevin out there lol

 

[The_Jamal]

THERE WE GO KEEGS. Strong move, attack the basket. No hesitation

 

[coolhandluke]

Fox teleporting from one place to another

 

[Tetsujin]

Dark De’Aaron has arrived

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Signs of returning from the dead

 

[The_Jamal]

I mean. Yeah. This is where Fox needs to be. If other guys aren't making shots, imprint on the game, take over yourself. Get to the paint every damn time. This is why and how he makes an All-NBA team.

 

[captain bill]

Signs of life

 

[Elektrik]

Okay, now I see some energy.

No, I get how strength of schedule works; what I'm saying is that if all of the teams with winning records just happen to have a soft SOS, then maybe a soft SOS isn't the damning indictment you seem to be suggesting it is.

 

[SacTownKid]

Just have to keep chipping away until the Clippers take away that pick and roll. If they can. Don't let them off the hook.
