[Game] Kings at Hawks, 1/26/2022, 7:30pm ET/4:30pm PT

[Krunker]

No game thread yet? Will we bounce back from yesterday's embarrassment?

 

[gunks]

Team gonna find their pride and only lose by 35 tonight

 

[kb02]

Davion better stop beasting. Otherwise, folks who are calling him a bust won’t have anything else to say.

 

[Krunker]

we're playing defense?

 

[Sluggah]

Tuned in for my dose of pain. Confused by what I’m seeing.

 

[miltonap]

Davion should really be starting as many of us said before the season. Him disrupting top PG's is important to disrupt opposition flow

 

[SacTownKid]

There is pride in there somewhere. Pride is a short term bandaid though when it comes to a team in flux.

 

[The_Jamal]

Davion starts, team shows pride on defense. Who woulda thunk it?

 

[SacTownKid]

Uh oh, Hawks go small against Bagley/Holmes and immediately start whooping some ***. Gentry, follow Luke and fall the same way bud.

 

[miltonap]

Davion needs to be in right now

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Bogdan Bogdanovic revenge game?

 

[Sluggah]

There’s the pain.

 

[SacTownKid]

Bogdan couldn't play SF, but Harkless can. Yeah, right. lol.

 

[sactowndog]

Bogi showing up the Kings. When he is on he can be hard to stop. Need to put Davion on him.

 

[sactowndog]

Considering we dumped Bogi then attached 2 seconds to get Wright. Why not keep Bogi Monte and use the two seconds to dump Buddy if needed.

Don’t ask long, complicated questions. It requires a ton of processing power, which his IBM lacks.

You'd think that one upside of having smaller guys is that they'd be quicker, have better handles etc, but not the Kings. We just give up size without any benefit the other way.

 

[SacTownKid]

Not that Gentry has many options with Fox out, but Nate is EATING his lunch. Gentry goes small waaay late, finally, bleeding stops, then Nate goes back big and Hunter starts pounding on the Kings guard trio. lol. This team is so far off the mark when it comes to modern bball there honestly, probably isn't any hope at this point.

Like you said, in all fairness to Gentry the roster is just bad. We don't have enough wings and our guards can't run an offense to save their lives.

That's where Vlade F'd up. He let Walton make it a Buddy vs. Bogdan thing. It never needed to be. Play both together and both build value even if you lose. Highsight says? You lost anyway, followed by whoops lol.

Give it a few more years, big blue will figure it out.

 

[miltonap]

I feel like we have zero wing depth. Harkless is like our only wing, with Barnes

 

[Krunker]

46-16 run, the rebound from yesterday was limited to one quarter

I mean, yea, Vlade played a role, but you know the number of possible outcomes are almost in the thousands. Monte just needs a few more years to think them through.

Kinda expected when your defenders are guarding air. There was one play where Galinari gets a pass on the perimeter and Bagley kinda just quit on the close out. Wasn’t even a jog. Made 3.

And in a wing dominated league the more time that goes by you realize why Harkless was nearly out of the league. He's very similar to Corey Brewer. Really more of an on ball guard defender at heart. Bogdan was pounding his butt at one point there. Any surprise? No, Bogdan in real world terms probably outweighs him by 20-25 pounds. How Monte didn't get that 2nd year as a team option is beyond me. Please let the sheets be wrong, be a team option!

 

[gunks]

I hate that Bogi is killing us almost as much as I hated watching him on the Kings.

Tanktastic 2nd quarter though, so why the heck am I even complaining?!?

 

[SacTownKid]

Man, when Holmes is being outworked you know you're on the spot as a GM. You have to put a little respect on Buddy and Marvin, one little rumor about Holmes getting shipped and dude is checked out, lol.

 

[SacTownKid]

It's so far beyond me, how does a coach NOT see the spacing here? Ridiculous.

 

[The_Jamal]

KEEP ON LOSING
