[Game] Kings @ Bucks - Sunday, Nov. 4 - 12:30 PST

They had a chance to stabilize towards the end of the quarter, but failed.......they'll have another quarter to try to dig out.

 

[Tetsujin]

Bucks have no problem pushing the pace as they're one of the fastest team in the league. If we want to win, we need to defend 3s and rebound.

But they aren't used to also having to defend the pace. They showed a shot of the Bucks bench and Bledsoe looked like he was about to die.

Lead is way bigger than this game feels.Got to tune up the defense pressure. Stay home to your man. Stay on your feet and don't fall for pump fakes. They want to get inside and then kick it out. Be prepared for that.
They look tired already. Keep attacking. This game is not over. Giannis especially looks gased.
Bucks are also super aggressive on the o-boards. They are basically attacking it with 5 guys and don't get back. Makes them super vulnareable to fast breaks. So far its working for them because Kings don't box out. So box out your man and THEN run.

 

[Kingz19]

Well, pretty simple. Kings are losing big on the boards, turnovers are close but not points off turnovers, bucks are +15 from three and +12 from the line

Kings aren’t getting the balance that they’ve been depending on. Really just Buddy and Fox doing anything. JJ played alright as well. Kings need everybody in on the act to justify their pace

 

[Tetsujin]

What the hell is a Fiserv and why is it worth enough money to have an arena named after it:?

 

[dude12]

Rebounding and FT inequity. We know the refs are going to change so we better rebound better.

4 FTs for us to Bucks 13. They are only 11-29 from 3. If we knock our 3s down better we can get in this.

 

[kingdivac]

Bagley should get extended minutes 2nd half for rebounding......but not looking good.

 

[SacTownKid]

The 3rd quarter will tell the story. Joerger needs to look at changing up the defensive game plan. The Kings usually flood the middle and run out on shooters and it ain't working. They are just letting the bigs run out and sending a second man down the hoop on the ensuing drive. The Kings need to force their pressure up a little into the high post. They also need to stop playing off the corners. Bud did the same thing to Joerger with Atlanta.

 

[rosa u podne]

There is no flow. Both teams look like the game is too early for them. Let's hope Kings wake up after halftime.

 

[Dime Dropper]

Lots of problems in this game. Can't get into any rhythm offensively, turning the ball over unforced (how many times have Bjelica/Hield fumbled alone in this game?), can't compete on the boards, and can't defend the 3 point line. Doesn't help that Shump has reverted to his bad side, which is thinking he's better than he is offensively.

Need to have a big 3rd quarter to have any hope of making it competitive at the end.

 

[burekijogurt]

and we are in foul trouble, that is not good given how the.refs are calling it

 

[Hoovtrain]

This is a rough 5 game stretch. If they can go 2-3 I’ll be very pleased

 

[fnordius]

Expected problem areas at the half:

Rebounds, 19 v 28

FTs, 2/4 v 13/13

 

[rosa u podne]

WCS actually defended GA pretty well when he came back in the 2nd quarter.

 

[dude12]

Fox can’t get a call

 

[dude12]

The other thing hurting us is Bjeli not playing well today

 

[biltalent]

Bucks are super tired..

 

[biltalent]

Thats it! Down 18!

 

[dude12]

Hield drives makes, contact no call. Brook effing Lopez drives, some contact, gets call. Yeah ok

 

[Tetsujin]

Maybe Bjelica is just adverse to the general midwestern region of the US?

 

[biltalent]

aaargh, Bjelica misses a layup, Giannis converts fast-break + Kings then turn it over. Thats a 6 point swing right there.

 

[momlikesmike10]

Jeeez, that was not good. At all.

 

[Heuge]

They are better.

 

[Tetsujin]

Moving screen.

 

[kingdivac]

Throw in the towel on this one......Bjelica looking off was a bellwether.

 

[Tetsujin]

Bjeli honestly has been our worse player tonight.

 

[dude12]

Just try to get better in this one. All they can do. Work on their games

 

[John Galt]

Belly fumbled two balls early that sort of made me decide to watch football today. sounds like he didn't pull it together

 

[biltalent]

Throw in the towel on this one......Bjelica looking off was a bellwether.

Nah, not ready for that yet. Still way to much time left. Calm down, run your offense and see what happens.

 

[rosa u podne]

Bad, bad game for Bjelica.
