[Game] Kings @ Bulls, Monday, Dec. 10 - 5PT/8ET

[Gliesian]

I'd like to see Bogi and Bagley start instead of Buddy and Neminja.

 

[Tetsujin]

De'Aaron is hurt.

 

[Tetsujin]

De'Aaron is having trouble running.

 

[1234kings]

De'Aaron is hurt.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[kingsboi]

Kings offense of last season showing up in that first half. LaVine 5-5

 

[Kingz19]

Well, that was depressing

Yep, a lot of wasted movement. Now the Kings are tired on top of it. You don't want to test out how deep the bottom is at the end of a road trip.

 

[Ozymandias]

do we get an "any questions?" thread on why the Kings tried to sign LaVine?

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

With the game how is going, I was so sure that Markkanen will hit that 3/4 court shot, was close though

 

[The Hammer]

Well, I hope they get a long talking to at half. We aren't we playing our game? Where is the running? Are we Tired? Did the team hit up some great night club in Chicago last night?

 

[SLAB]

Looks like it’s a good thing I’m at a concert, eh? Was going to scope out the bar for the bands I don’t care about but.... ehhhhhh I think I’ll stand in the pit.

 

[Tetsujin]

Aside from Bagley and Giles who we don't play, the Kings don't have anyone who can create in the post, which is allowing the Bulls to just sorta pack the paint and dare us to take threes which we are missing at a catastrophic rate all of a sudden.

De'Aaron can't run right now.

 

[SacTownKid]

The good news is that the Kings just looked about as lost and ineffective on offense as we've seen all year and they are only down 11.

 

[Sneak]

I wasn't here for that thread...
I am sure you are going to have negative feelings coming your way after that comment buddy.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Bulls should lose this game based on the dumbness of their halftime entertainment alone.

Yeah, and the Kings are falling right into their trap. The threes they've been getting are later than you'd want, or might as well types. The post ups are also coming late in the clock. It's like the problem the Kings had with Cuz. They seem to run some nonsense screening to enter the ball down low and by the time they do they have 6-7 seconds to work. I'm not sure the Kings energy isn't already tapped but when they've run two man game they've forced the Bulls to commit to one side of the floor or the other which got them better looks.

 

[Kingster]

The Kings look very soft in this game. The Bulls are just cramming it right down their throat, to put it kindly. Kings better get a lot tougher in the 2nd half if they want to have a chance of winning.

Yeah, I don't think it's a secret that our team looked better in the second when Bogi, Kosta, and Bagley were essentially just running PnRs every possession. I'm not sure Willie is capable of doing it though.

I guess.. the refs have been brutal. Bogie got killed every time he had the ball, I think he drew 1 foul when he wasn't touched. Seesh. I hate NBA refs, I wish I didn't love this team.

 

[Kingster]

Bulls outscored Kings 32-16 points in the paint. Marshmallow soft.

A lot of those lobs Willie gets are directly off of pick and roll. I've noticed he's starting to take that mid range jumper a bit more. I still believe he can be solid in pick and pop.

Everything the Kings are starts on the offensive end. When that isn't going they have 2-3 stretches of decent D on their best night.

 

[Tetsujin]

Shump is out of control on offense tonight.

 

[burekijogurt]

WCS boxing out well enabling the guards to get the defensive boards..

 

[1234kings]

Willie needs to put some damn effort in the offensive rebounds ugh.

 

[Folsomkingsfan]

Fox has been driving lately like he expects to miss

 

[Tetsujin]

The refs are just sorta letting the Bulls mob the Kings.

 

[The Hammer]

This game is starting to pee me off.

 

[Tetsujin]

Bjeli got fouled THREE times on that single drive.
