[Game] Kings @ Bucks - Saturday, Dec. 2 - 5:30 PT

I realize you can't play rooks at all time but these vets will get extended playing time. I don't understand the direction joeger is going.

Do you see what some of us have a problem with VF?
Look at this lineup. One rook on the floor.
What are we trying to do? Win games? Are we trying to develop our younguns? What are we doing?

I know why we only have one rook on the floor at the moment and so do you. I'm sorry but I don't want to argue coaching strategy or philosophy etc right now. I just want to enj0y the game.
 
Lower back strain? And getting onto a plane back to Sacramento right after the game? Naismith hates us.
 
I really liked that move by Fox at the end of the half. The court was wide open on the left side and he just blew by Bledsoe and got the foul.

I don't understand why they don't clear out and let Fox go to work like that more often. All he does is bring the ball up and soft toss it to the big 90% of the time. Just seems like such a waste of talent to me. Need to get the floor open and let him go to work like that more often.

You don't think he in part is being passive? Also doesn't help when we keep taking the ball out of the basket.

I couldn't possibly agree more. That's one thing they need to work on. I can't count the number of times the paint has been clogged with our own players, leaving the guy with the ball with nothing to do but run around like a chicken and hope somebody gets the hell out of the way.

I do, I've posted about it a few times already. I've just noticed in many games and this one in particular, there's nothing being ran for him and the only option he has is to go rogue or throw the ball into the high post. I just feel like he could break the passivity and start becoming one of the main guys on this team if they would maybe try and let him iso a bit more.

Yep, they run iso plays for Randolph all game so I can't see why they can't do the same for Fox. All he needs is the room to get a step on his defender and it frees himself up to score the ball, get to the line or find open shooters when the defender comes to help.

I see a 20 year old who is playing passive as opposed to a Mason who is a bit older and not as passive. The other problem is he just can't shoot from the outside very well and they pack the paint. Just my perception.
 
Fox just takes it to the hole on GA.....scares me every time he hits the ground because he's got no meat on him

He does but the play calling seems different with the bench vs. the starters. I feel like it's why the bench guys look better whereas ZBo is the only starter that usually starts off hot.

If they cleared his side of the court once in a while and let him go 1 on 1, he would easily be able to find open shooters if they packed the paint.

I'd just like to see something different to get him going.
 
So far this half, Fox has had 2 different opportunities to attack the basket and he's passed out both times....once was on the break and was point blank where he could have drawn a foul. Especially with this lineup, he needs to be more selfish.
