[Game] Kings @ Bulls, 2/20/21 6pm PST, 9pm EST

[SacTownKid]

Walton finally subbed his way to a real small ball lineup.

 

[Tetsujin]

Satoranaky tried to double a guy who literally hasn’t played all year instead of the guy with the ball and it resulted in a Tyrese dunk.

 

[SacTownKid]

Legit pumped to see Jabari though. I hope this sticks.

It won't. I think it's pretty clear the goal from here to the deadline is to showcase guys.

One can hope.

 

[SLAB]

I’m sure this was a lineup we all expected to see coming into this season.

Satoranaky tried to double a guy who literally hasn’t played all year*** instead of the guy with the ball and it resulted in a Tyrese dunk.

***but has a 1.000 shooting percentage on the season. That's probably why.

Edit: "had"

 

[Tetsujin]

Is Luke confused by his own substitution patterns?

 

[SLAB]

After getting KO’d on his first defensive possession Jabari stepping up and showing he isn’t totally hopeless at that defense thing.

 

[SacTownKid]

JJ and DaQuan are really good at the defense thing.

 

[SLAB]

Was hoping for the three-headed-monster of Jabari/Bags/Hassan.

 

[Tetsujin]

Surrounding Jabari and Bjeli with your three best perimeter defenders is probably the best way to make that lineup work.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I continually accidentally call Arcidiacono "Diacono" as if his first name is Archie.

 

[SacTownKid]

Yep, Donovan is a smart coach. Luke not so much. He's going right at Cojo/Whiteside in pnr with Lavine starting to feast.

 

[Tetsujin]

Luke needs to pull CoJo off of Lavine. He’s already bad laterally against slow players let alone an athlete like Lavine.

His size is hurting him big time too. This is with JJ and DaQuan there to match up. Amazing but probably not entirely his call at this point.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Bulls 57.6% from the floor.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Bjelica completely expressionless sitting on the bench...don't blame him I guess.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

You Will Know It Is Bagley By The Trail Of The Dead

 

[Tetsujin]

Hassan and Bagley want all the boards

 

[Iced Espresso]

Bagley + Whiteside lots of dunks lol.

 

[dude12]

I like the Bagley Whiteside pairing. Feels as though Bagley is playing free

 

[SLAB]

Hassan with the happy dance after that little Bagley drive.

 

[SLAB]

I like the Bagley Whiteside pairing. Feels as though Bagley is playing free

I had a feeling their games would compliment each other’s. I want to see more more more of this paring.

 

[dude12]

Buddy playing PF now....good God

 

[Rob-The-Great]

4 guard lineup is trash

 

[Rob-The-Great]

What the hell is Walton doing man! Put a dam pf in the game

 

[dude12]

Not a fan of the 4 guard lineup. It’s dumb

 

[Tetsujin]

We keep having to switch on everything because CoJo is incapable of staying within Lavine on drives

 

[luckytkp]

Whiteside and Bagley were killing bulls and then Walton decided to end it

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Whiteside and Bagley were killing bulls and then Walton decided to end it

The only logic I can think of that's behind the substitution patterns is tanking.
