GAME THREAD 7/2/18 California Classic Day 1: Sacramento Kings v. Los Angeles Lakers 8PM PST, 11PM EST

Wagner looks awesome.

Don't really think Bagley's been really that slow rotating, just Wagner playing well? Probably a bit of both.

Would have liked him with the second rounder as a stretch 4/5. But the way Bagley and Giles are shooting it, it doesnt seem the Kings need him.

I'm sorry, but there's no reason why a SL game should be this chippy. Young players need to control their emotions right now.

I can see why Bogi compared Giles to Draymond. Giles plays with that attitude and plays hounding defense.

loved Wagner. Idk why he went as low as he did... especially after seeing how Markkanen succeeded in his rookie year.

I don't like Wagner. He looks like a whiny cry-baby to me.

Nice creation from Bagley to draw the foul. Very good looking free throws
Loved how Harry was there to dunk it if the foul wasnt called.

One reason... It's the F'n Lakers! Nuf said.

He's more of a huge a-hole on the court. Someone that you forgive when he's on your team and who you HATE with a passion when he's going against you.

Both bigs have looked really impressive to start the game.

Not as impressive on offense as 3-year college player and German academy player Mo Wagner but still really freaking good

Something about that Jersey just makes guys intolerable.

Honestly, I'm just thrilled how athletic Giles looks. That year of rehab obviously paid huge dividends with his recovery. It's night and day from tonight than he was at Duke.

Normally I might agree, but if you are trying to set the tone for a drastically new identity, there is no time like the present.

Biggest take away at half-time: This could work !
Both Bagley and Giles look like a modern big man duo and not like "tweener" 4.5s I worried.
Giles seems like the key. He looks like he will be able to defend bigger 5s down the road and guard on the perimeter. His jumper is way more advanced than anyone could have thought. He is still only 20 years old.
Bagley looks like the scoring number one option we hoped we would be getting. His man defense was better than I thought. His shot looks nice.
They are both extremely hungry rebounders in a league that is sizing down.

I'm not into analytics and advanced metrics but I see these kids can pass and shoot and rebound and are kinda faster than the old guys.

 

[VF21]

Wow. The first night of the California Classic was a sellout and according to Grant there are limited tickets available for tomorrow. THANK YOU SACRAMENTO!

What is it with Kings audio?? Whether its social media or NBA TV, I always have to crank the volume to hear what's being said... the problem is when forget to UNcrank it when we go to commercial!

Lol watching that dude (55) try and drive on Giles.

 

[jcwkings]

Frank Mason has not looked good.

 

[c-webb1s#1]

idk about Mason...something about him I just don't like.
