[Game] California Classic 2023, Day 2 (7/5/2023): Kings vs. Heat 7pm Pacific, 10pm Eastern

[Kingz19]

Probably in the minority but really liking the Draper and Barnes commentary team

I liked them last season in the few games where Kayte was out

 

[Capt. Factorial]

So, Keon gets absolutely bulldozed and gets called for a flop? Way to go with that, NBA.

 

[Tetsujin]

These refs okay?

All three of them had a stroke at the same

 

[The_Jamal]

Ford is good. Plays within himself, picks his spots

 

[iowamcnabb]

Fine line between a flop and selling contact

 

[captain bill]

All the rule changes in the world don't matter when refs continue to be incompetent

 

[The_Jamal]

Jovic literally shoved him???

 

[Tetsujin]

Matt Barnes being absolutely baffled by the flop tech is me

 

[Tetsujin]

That certainly wasn’t a flop

That flop call will get called twice on bench player in October and we’ll never hear from it again

 

[Tetsujin]

Colby is just good at pretty much everything. Those Bruce Brown/Josh Hart comps were right on the money

 

[Capt. Factorial]

That flop call will get called twice on bench player in October and we’ll never hear from it again

In a continuing irony, both calls will cost the Kings a win.

 

[The_Jamal]

Colby steal, goes and gets FT.

I like it

 

[CoatCheckDream]

Colby Jones looks like he wants to play in the NBA

 

[SacTownKid]

That flop call will get called twice on bench player in October and we’ll never hear from it again

And if they do call it when Chris Paul does the ghost attack flop and it doesn't get called the internet will meltdown lol.

points and shot opportunities still seem to elude Slawson, but we got a glimpse at his ball handling, passing, and defensive ability in his earlier stint.

Queta has had some nice moments

Colby Jones looking good

Stephens looked too slow moving his length

 

[206Fan]

Luke saw Kessler leading the break and immediately called timeout

 

[NewArena]

It’s hilarious to see some people on social media or RealGm/Reddit go from “lolz Kings screwed up the draft again” to “this guy might be too good to play summer league two months after his rookie year”.

[funkykingston]

Stephens looked too slow moving his length

He's always going to be slow and a below average athlete on the NBA level, but Stephens needs to focus as much of his time as he can on slimming down and increasing his foot speed as much as he can to have a chance.

 

[NewArena]

Gotta say, Keegans little middy over 3 defenders was indeed very Kawhi esque hahaha.

Lmao i didn’t wanna say, but, yup!

Looks like Keegan went wild.

How did Ellis, Nemi, Colby, and Slawson do?

 

[The_Jamal]

Queta had a few nice moments, but man. His 3rd summer League now, was one of the best players in the G-League last year, but still isn't showing the impact in these games. Nothing screams "We have to get this dude on the big league club, no matter what". It's all still speculative with him. I want to see him go dominate in Vegas, not have us be like "Hmm, I wonder what Slawson small-ball 5 would look like?"

These “rule changes” always last for 4-5 weeks at the most

Bring in any of Giles or Bol or PapaG for last center competition!

Neemy looked the worst out of all those guys. Keon continues to be really good on defense. Slawson not really putting up numbers but doing a lot of connecting on both ends of the floor, showing nice court vision Colby is going to be a rotation player for us for the next decade.
