[Game] Kings at Bucks, 1/22/2022 4pm PT/7pm ET

[Capt. Factorial]

Todays game is going to be going up against the other Norcal-Wisconsin game, and that one's a playoff, so I'm guessing it may be a bit sparse around here.

On the bright side, the Kings appear to have all players available, while the Bucks will be without...Giannis. Brook Lopez is also out long term, and Grayson Allen is also unavailable.

Can the healthy Kings beat the Bucks without their best player? We'll see!

 

[steelevt]

Normally a team missing their top player is good thing. But kings seem to always think they’re good enough to relax when teams are missing important players. Well, they’re not and always lay an egg against “weaker” competition.

 

[KainLear]

It's good that Allen is not available. After that brutal flagrant 2 that literally fractured Alex Caruso's right wrist that requires surgery. 6-8 weeks rehab.

Anddddd Fox is out.

 

[Tetsujin]

Anddddd Fox is out.

Did he run into Grayson Allen in the hall?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Anddddd Fox is out.

Also out with a minor injury tonight: Domantas Sabonis.


READ NOTHING INTO THIS

 

[SacTownKid]

Fox out, time for Buddy to step it up.

 

[KainLear]

Fox out, time for Buddy to step it up.

Time for Buddy to go to the Inactive list, you dont want him to get hurt and miss his bus out of town.

 

[SacTownKid]

Teams are starting to read Tyreses step back 3. If they are going to jump into it like that, he can pick up easy 3 shot fouls if he moves into the contact.

 

[SacTownKid]

Time for Buddy to go to the Inactive list, you dont want him to get hurt and miss his bus out of town.

Well, him shooting 2 shots a game means he's pretty much checked out anyway.

 

[miltonap]

Is Dougie Fresh back ?

 

[SacTownKid]

Look at that Bucks team. Portis, Hill. Not exactly the most dominant looking opponent. Could steal this one if the Kings shoot well tonight.

Also out with a minor injury tonight: Domantas Sabonis.

I actually don’t recall him tweaking the ankle last game…..hmmmm

 

[steelevt]

Anddddd Fox is out.

If we win, we are better without fox anyways.
If we lose, we would have lost anyways cuz fox and ty can’t play together.

 

[Tetsujin]

"FOX WAS HOLDING BAGLEY BACK THE WHOLE TIME"
-Some dude somewhere

 

[KainLear]

Speaking like a true Kings fan here.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Shots falling, moving the ball, effort on D. Nice when it all comes together for a few minutes.

 

[kb02]

No Fox, No Giannis, but Hali is starting. Kings win.

 

[steelevt]

Shots falling, moving the ball, effort on D. Nice when it all comes together for a few minutes.

Now if they can just do it consistently. We might actually win some games

 

[steelevt]

No Fox, No Giannis, but Hali is starting. Kings win.

Nice start for ty. If the rest of the kings play up to their potential and don’t play like dummies, I like you’re prediction.

 

[miltonap]

Hali is just a great connector. He's a very different player than Fox. Fox is a scorer first and foremost.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Hali is just a great connector. He's a very different player than Fox. Fox is a scorer first and foremost.

... Which is only actually a problem if you don't have a facilitator like Haliburton.

 

[steelevt]

Ok I’m ready for buddy to go out

 

[SacTownKid]

Ah, it was a matter of time before they started hitting. They've been getting great looks all game after the Kings forced them to scramble.

 

[Livinthedream]

Buck's going to force Kings to go small.

 

[SacTownKid]

Buck's going to force Kings to go small.

And in year 3, the "advanced stats" oriented Kings who clearly are looking at the wrong ones find a way to dig a hole first. lol.

 

[KainLear]

Bucks commentators aren't too bad, so far.

 

[SacTownKid]

If you are going to stay big, you have to keep pounding them Gentry.

 

[steelevt]

Let’s hope this 2nd quarter is our usual bad quarter and we ply better the 2nd half

 

[steelevt]

Lol. Foul on a 3/4 court heave? Usually we do those stupid plays
