[Game] Kings @ Grizzlies - Friday, Jan. 25 - 5PT/8ET

[Ozymandias]

Grizz announcers salty

Haha I was listening to that too. Both exclaimed in the final seconds they've never seen anything like that, one of him is a longtime NBA veteran.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

We havent heard the end of that jump ball call. I can tell ya that for sure.

Well, about ten more like that will make up for the 0.3-seconds-Hollins-tipped-it-Lee-didn't-get-it-off fiasco.

 

[kingdivac]

Escaped.....much needed win to hold to .500.

 

[LoungeLizard]

We are guaranteed to come back home for our 6 game home stand .500 or better!

 

[Swipa]

Haha. Escaped with an ugly one, I’ll take it.

Most important, Fox was aggressive and impactful for us. He needed that and we did too. His development, which I had sort of stopped worrying about until this month, is by far the most important aspect for this team going forward. Go kings.

But did he imprint?

Bjelica 17 and 10 stands out to me, but so many of our guys played well.

I noticed Giles didn't play much (4 mins), what happened? I wasn't able to watch consistently.

Coach decided that Bagley needed minutes, but they weren't coming at the expense of Bjelica.

Giles played some sub minutes in the fourth when WCS picked up his fifth foul, but he wasn't technically in the rotation tonight.

Bjelly made huge plays down the stretch, the steal he had was awesome.

The kings defense came up big when it needed to here at the end of this game, and in spurts thruought it, closing the 1st half also.

Giles was really bad in those 4 minutes but I don’t blame him. He didn’t come in til late in 4th quarter when WCS got his 5th foul. I don’t think Joerger planned on playing him but had no choice when WCS picked up #5.

Got it, thanks for explaining.

 

[The Hammer]

We're hanging about as tough as you can hang right now. Every game feels like do or die. The Clipper game is massive, and very winnable.

 

[Ozymandias]

I find a game like this to be extremely encouraging, moreso that most of the wins. This just passes the eye test to me, Memphis is kinda built to be slow and strong but we have the recipe to speed them up.

I think its safe to say we could take them in a series.

 

[Sluggah]

So we got Bjeli back on track and got Fox back on track, despite some blatant noncalls. 2 outta 3 ain’t bad.

Next game, hopefully Shumpert too.

That would make for a successful road trip, but we've got to play WAY better than tonight.

 

[VF21]

Oh wow. Fox didn’t sound happy about missing the Toronto game.

Come on. Please don't read too much into that. Of course he wanted to play. That's normal. But he didn't sound angry. He was being honest about being disappointed.

 

[Kings_of_California]

It may feel that way, but the Kings are 5-5 in their last ten.

I was actually talking about the Grizz not winning in two weeks lol.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Justin Jackson is all or nothing. He either shoots great or he doesn't hit a single shot.

[Kings_of_California]

I see Buddy had another great shooting night. Automatic at this point.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

25 win before the 50th game. I wish I had bet the house on that one. Congats to ye of faith.

 

[Gliesian]

Haha I was listening to that too. Both exclaimed in the final seconds they've never seen anything like that, one of him is a longtime NBA veteran.

Kinda like how Blake Griffin said he never saw a travel like that before when Buddy did NOT travel, but instead devoured his soul.

 

[KingKong]

Instead of debating Bagley over Bjeli, we should really be talking about Bogi over Shump. And I love what Shump brings.

 

[VF21]

Justin Jackson is all or nothing. He either shoots great or he doesn't hit a single shot.

He still found a way to contribute with a board, 2 assists and 2 steals along with some pretty good general defense.

 

[VF21]

I think there's a place for both of them.

 

[New Era]

On that last play, the calling referee initially called a foul (fist in the air) and then changed it to a jump ball. What a circus! Didn't know that would be reviewable. Will be interesting to see the Last 2 minute report.

 

[Livinthedream]

As both a Saints and Kings fan, I went into a fetal position when that ref called a jump ball with Buddy. I'm just now recovering.

I don't like refs. Thank goodness for the win. Go Kings

Clipper game is not winnable as it may seem if they play like they have on this road trip, which is sub par. Clipps have been struggling as of late and coming down to Earth but they will put it on the Kings in the same fashion they've done in the first two meetings. Harrell is the Kings Soul Keeper.

and now he will have something like a 5 game stretch where he will score under 5 points, watch
