[Game] Kings @ Grizzlies - Friday, Jan. 19 - 5 PT

[206Fan]

what a miserable first half by both teams, someone has to win this game unfortunately

How is it that both teams continually tried pushing the pace in the 1st quarter...yet we're sitting at halftime 40-40 each lol

 

[SacTownKid]

This is a true test of wills. The unscorable force meeting the immobile object.

both teams are atrocious shooting teams, well...Kings are top 10 in 3 point shooting but they just don't shoot enough of them, they take a lot of paint shots and mid range.

 

[SacTownKid]

Papa needs minuets his defense wasn’t that bad and more importantly he’s tied for a leader in assists in only 7 minuets

Good screens out of him as well.

Can we just leave ZBo in Memphis? We'll take back McBen.

No. No we won't.

 

[SLAB]

No. No we won't.

In a nanosecond for Zbo. At least McBen wouldn't be shoehorned into the lineup no matter however awful he's playing.

Not that it matters. My mind wanders during these games. They're just... bad.

 

[Joshoua]

I’m surprised we started off slow I really am

 

[SacTownKid]

I think we have found the unit capable of bringing home that top pick!

 

[VF21]

...LOUD SIGH...

I want Skal. I want to see the kids working together.

You cannot say that with any degree of certainty. I do not want to see Ben McLemore back with the Kings under any circumstances.

 

[VF21]

Thank you Bogs for looking right past Z-Bo, keeping the ball yourself and getting the bucket.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

That catch and finish by WCS should make the highlight reels even though the officials (mistakenly) called it off.

 

[VF21]

Oh, wait. What is that I see? Is that a glimmer of hope on the horizon? Z-Bo with his 4th foul?

 

[SLAB]

Oh good. Vince Carter in for ZBo.

Give me a break.

 

[VF21]

Oh good. Vince Carter in for ZBo.

Give me a break.

At least Z-Bo is out. Carter is nowhere near the roadblock Zack is.

 

[SLAB]

Is that elusive sub-10 point quarter finally going to happen?

 

[VF21]

Shhhhhh. Don't jinx it.

 

[Joshoua]

Ya at least Vince is energetic and doesn’t have the offense ran through him. ZBo is a cone on defense

Nick Van Exel..

*shudders*

 

[SLAB]

I don't like Buddy Hield. That's probably the nicest thing I'll ever say about him.

 

[VF21]

Totally agree with pulling Buddy for that dumb move. Totally DISAGREE with the assistant coach not telling him why he got yanked. Unless, of course, Buddy knows full well why he got yanked and is just playing dumb. I mean, I KNOW why he was pulled so it's kind of inconceivable to me that he's that clueless.

 

[VF21]

I don't like Buddy Hield. That's probably the nicest thing I'll ever say about him.

I think Buddy Hield's biggest problem is he has the BBIQ of a rutabaga.

 

[VF21]

Carter has some pretty good defensive moves, made all the more interesting when you remember how old he is. If the kids don't learn anything else from him, they should learn that it's ALWAYS the right time to put forth maximum effort.

 

[Kingz19]

I think Buddy Hield's biggest problem is he has the BBIQ of a rutabaga.

But thankfully, not of a McLemore

 

[SLAB]

Truth. Most of my feelings have nothing to do with poor Buddy himself (I'll always hold the trade against him, and that's admittedly on me), but he doesn't help my opinion when 80% of the time he's really bad with only occasional hot streaks making him look like a valuable player.

Even if he eventually "gets it", I'll always be a bit resentful.

 

[VF21]

But thankfully, not of a McLemore

 

[VF21]

So, they've got George Hill sitting next to Buddy? Hey, if Hill can explain it to Buckets, I'm all for it.

 

[SLAB]

Hill's just having an external monologue about playing with LeBron.

 

[VF21]

This game is NOT out of reach, unless Joerger puts Z-Bo back on the court.

Wait. Players can chew gum? I thought that was a no-no.
