[Game] Kings at Clippers, Saturday Feb. 22, 12:30 PM PT/3:30 PM ET

[Capt. Factorial]

This will be the game thread!

 

[Sam0ah]

Jabari for 20 off the bench today!

 

[SLAB]

Might get a lot of Jabari because Montezl straight up destroyed HG last time. Hopefully he learned something / is better prepared for this one.

 

[steelevt]

I try to be as optimistic as the next guy but this is a scheduled loss in my book. Keeping it competitive and not getting blown out by a healthy clippers team is a win in my book. Will show we are getting better even tho it doesn’t in the record books.

 

[King Baller]

George and Beverly are listed as out.

 

[Cojc]

But if kawhi shoots like he did in the all star game who knows. I think it’s all about which team comes to play for the Kings.
Do we get the defensively active kings who Have a decent % from the 3 or a lackadaisical effort that they are very capable of giving us.

I hope for my first choice as we need to win a few of these tough games to have a chance for a respectable finish to our season.

Go Kings!!!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Len might play in short bursts today, per Ham on pre-game. For what that's worth.

 

[The_Jamal]

Another opportunity to steal a win that's normally a scheduled loss if the Clippers are at full strength. If we want to keep that playoff dream alive, have to win games like this where the vastly superior team is missing a few key players.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

So we're in red (again) and the Clippers are in royal blue, which we wore last game, and I have no idea which team is which anymore.

 

[jcwkings]

The Kings declining Giles's option is beyond unbelievable. Absolutely insane.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Giles was positioned just a bit too far from the basket in the "dunker" position to get to the rim before the D could react.

 

[SLAB]

Time to get Buddy in ASAP.

 

[KingKong]

What's up Bogi? You feeling alright?

 

[SLAB]

That’s why he’ll average 5 assists one day if his knees let him. My goodness the feel is incredible.

 

[The_Jamal]

Big time pass from HG

 

[jcwkings]

Fox needs to work on his floaters, if he can make those consistently when he probes in the lane it will open up so many passing angles for him.

 

[SLAB]

Alex Len debut time.

 

[The_Jamal]

That’s why he’ll average 5 assists one day if his knees let him. My goodness the feel is incredible.

That's him not being a spacer won't be much of an issue long-term imo. You still have to close out on him to disrupt his passing lanes.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

A full-sized center!

 

[The_Jamal]

Good pass Fox! Really good looks early.

 

[SLAB]

Alex Len is a huge human.

 

[SLAB]

That's him not being a spacer won't be much of an issue long-term imo. You still have to close out on him to disrupt his passing lanes.

And he’s not even *that* bad of a shooter. I can’t wait until it all falls into place for him.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

The Zubac-Len showdown was what we were all looking forward to today!

 

[Tetsujin]

Len out here playing like Dikembe

 

[Sluggah]

If it makes the players feel better, I’m also useless in the morning.

 

[jcwkings]

Buddy Hield is the 9th man off the bench? What the hell?

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

Are these Len's first minutes? :O

 

[SLAB]

I’m gonna guess Len will have a very hard time with Harrell’s quickness.

 

[VF21]

So we're in red (again) and the Clippers are in royal blue, which we wore last game, and I have no idea which team is which anymore.

It looks like Pistons v. Clippers to me.
