[Game] Bucks @ Kings, Friday Jan. 10, 7 PM PT/10 PM ET

[Kingster]

If you're going to put in JJ for defense, then why not put Dedmon in for defense as well with that last possession? You absolutely cannot allow a guy to dribble 35 feet to the basket for a layup.

i agree with most of what you're saying. The harsh reality, however, is I don't think it will make much difference tonight. I know I shouldn't harp on one player, but there is a certain guard who is simply a liability every time he touches the ball...and the Bucks know it.

In the end it's still what works best regardless of outcome because that will have a huge say over the course of a season as to how well you perform and what that outcome is night to night. I still have faith in Walton but man, you just saw it to end the half. Why does it take him that long to see it? I mean, that's better than the last multitude of coaches but even the advanced stats point to what works. At some point it's like dude, open your eyes Luke. Talk to your data people. Something.

could be a lot worse

True. As crummy as the Kings look.

Walton would rather save a Dedmon foul for late in the game as opposed to the end of the first half.

Waltons sub patterns were rock solid early in the year. He even went to 8 man when he had to. Lately it looks a lot like tinkering/showcasing to me.

How about if he just blocks the shot and doesn't foul?

 

[Tetsujin]

Or literally does anything to alter the shot

Hard to know exactly what the motivation was.

Edit: Maybe Walton is saying to Divac: "See, this is why we can't trade Dedmon."

We're talking about Giles...

 

[SLAB]

Lol Buddy

 

[SLAB]

Giles you dummy...

 

[Tetsujin]

Harry WYD

 

[VF21]

I'd like to see the replay. I didn't think Giles touched him...

 

[SLAB]

Harry WYD

Saving a point!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Harry WYD

Destroying Middleton's FT%.

 

[Groovygreg]

Harry is not having a good game.

 

[SLAB]

The Bucks like wrestling before games, so Bjelica just threw a legit WWE shoulder block.

 

[VF21]

Glad to see Barnes apparently not suffering any ill effects from the other night.

 

[Sluggah]

We’re doingggg it

 

[Tetsujin]

The Kings Can: Stay in the game against possibly the best team in the league.
Can't: Not go on a massive demoralizing losing streak.

 

[SacTownKid]

Good job here. Spacing much better. He's got Giles in the post and your stretch 4 spreading it now. He still has to be ready when they go small but this is making much more sense in terms of positioning.

Two points

This one's for Slamson

 

[SLAB]

He needs to bust out the steel chair.

 

[Tetsujin]

Giannis drives and plays like a bigger Lebron. Shoots free throws like Shaq

 

[SLAB]

Giles does good; Giles does bad.

 

[Amiga]

lol wtf again jc

 

[sactowndog]

So the most interesting question of the night. @VF21 you want one of those Cream City Jerseys??

 

[SLAB]

Giles removes himself from the game with his own silliness and the run stops; coincidence? Probably.

I'd rather wear Lakers #8.
