[Game] Kings at Pacers, Wednesday May 5th, 5 PM Pacific (8 PM Eastern)

[Livinthedream]

No. This team needs the right vision. At its core, you have a scoring PG, a SG with great vision and ability, another that can bomb from three, a SF that can do a lot, a PF that can run and score from my inside the key with ease, and a center that can clean up. All of them on the young side.
The pieces are here.

It's how the coach is using them. Fox can score 35 pts a game. But it wears him down. Fox is more comfortable picking and choosing his spots. Your power forward can get buckets if you feed him enough and he gets energized when he's scoring. But coach wants him to be the well rounded player. Holmes is efficient and great in pick and roll, but you don't need to feature him in your offense.

Let Fox play defense and all around game. Let Bagley play offense, let Haliburton facilitate, Barnes and Holmes fill the gaps.

 

[Tetsujin]

being the only point guard left on the roster has unlocked Wright’s full potential

 

[Tetsujin]

Firing McMillan and hiring Bjorkgren has backfired on the Pacers magnificently.

 

[SLAB]

:::checks box score:::

The Luke Walton is returning 100% tour is riding high babyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

 

[Tetsujin]

Delon has legitimately been everywhere tonight

 

[Livinthedream]

I wonder if Walton really understands why the team is winning right now.

 

[Tetsujin]

Lol Pacers coaching staff actively trying to fight one of their players.

 

[Tetsujin]

I realize Goga has kinda sucked but there’s no reason to try to fight him during a timeout.

 

[SacTownKid]

Kings taking down these imploding teams with ease! hahaha.

 

[dude12]

Carmichael Dave said when Bagley got subbed out, he was shaking his hand......was after the missed dunk and he went down.

If he’s hurt again.................

 

[Sluggah]

Well that’s something you don’t see every day. Or ever.

 

[SacTownKid]

I realize Goga has kinda sucked but there’s no reason to try to fight him during a timeout.

He had to have said something insulting to the coach. But that jabroni is like "Gimme my money!". Luke take lessons here. Do that and you'll get your wad.

 

[Tetsujin]

Pacers going on a run since one of their assistant coaches tried to fight their 2019 first round pick.

Head coaching material right there. Bob Knight, eat your heart out.

 

[dude12]

Ok...Bags back in

 

[SacTownKid]

Haha, that was Greg Foster. That outburst somehow doesn't shock me at all. Dude was always off his rocker.

 

[NewArena]

I mean I guess if we’re going to WOSS ourselves out of a top ten pick, it would be good if it meant bagley was actually going to turn into a promising star on this team.

Yeah I’ll absolutely accept this

 

[SacTownKid]

LOL. gotta love FA to be Harkless ignoring Marvin while he's calling for the lob. You could almost see him whispering the words "mo money".

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Hey all! Have not seen Kings games for quite some time, just wanted to check in as I'm following the boxscore. As Slab said it looks like Walton's return season will happen.

Oh by the way update on Bagley?

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Oh by the way update on Bagley?

ELITE PF!!!

 

[Woot!]

That doesn't include the draft pick, where we strike gold and get Cade Cunningham.

We're saying the same thing. They have way more talent than their record suggests.

 

[Tetsujin]

Death, taxes, and Luke Walton refusing to ply Marvin at the end of games

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Lou King sighting!

 

[Livinthedream]

Again....our defense is better recently. Hmmm.

 

[Woot!]

Trip-Dub-Bud!

(Almost.)

 

[SacTownKid]

Again....our defense is better recently. Hmmm.

They are playing hard against these injured, rusty, imploding teams for sure. Have to give them credit, once they've smelled blood in the water they've been relentless.

 

[SacTownKid]

40 minutes for Buddy and Delon on a back to back. Now the Spurs and Pels have to figure out of they want to swap that draft spot with Sac, Sac is willing to make that trade.

Ha! For sure. But playing a bad team never stopped them from giving up 140 points in a game in the past.

 

[miltonap]

Def doesn't look like the worst defensive team in the league. These last 4 games I've watched were basically the first I've watched all season.

And they've looked pretty great. Were they just extremely lazy all season despite having more talented players ?

 

[Tetsujin]

Spurs currently appear to be gunning for a worse loss to the Jazz than the one we had.
