[Game] Kings @ Hawks, 3/13/2021, 4:30pm PST, 7:30pm EST

I can't believe someone drafted Okongwu at 6. He could end up a pretty decent role guy but terrible fit and there was so much more there that fits the modern game.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I cannot wait for Bjeli and CoJo to leave forever.

I just unliked this 4x so I could like it more.

They thought they were getting Bam Adebayo v2.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Dammit man take cojo out!

 

[SacTownKid]

So, Cory clanks a 3 and STILL lets a big beat him down the floor. I'd say a challenge from Walton was warranted in that scenario. Clearly someone was using the illegal act of teleportation to put Cojo in that position.

 

[Tetsujin]

Tank Commander CoJo keeping this from being too big a lead

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Sure, CoJo was out of position, but I really can't believe that CoJo got called for a clear path foul for being stiffarmed by Capela. In a realistic world, that would have been Kings ball.

 

[Tetsujin]

Even by CoJo standards, this is bad CoJo

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Man. Our situation isn’t great.

But at least we aren’t Atlanta. What a disaster they look like.

This went stale in 10 minutes flat.

 

[Reverend]

Rondo revenge game

 

[Tetsujin]

For whatever it’s worth, Rondo is getting paid less than CoJo

 

[SacTownKid]

This went stale in 10 minutes flat.

But it's possible the stink of their situation is going to last longer. And sting a bit more this summer if they lose their star big for nothing.

 

[Livinthedream]

Walton is leaning into Bjelica.

 

[Tetsujin]

Is Marvin injured or something?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Walton is leaning into Bjelica.

 

[SacTownKid]

There we go, now Atlanta is just hammering the Kings in pick and roll. Now we're talkin!!!

 

[Tetsujin]

Richaun has had like three passes directly to a player from the Hawks

 

[SacTownKid]

Hahaha. Too good.

 

[Tetsujin]

There we go, now Atlanta is just hammering the Kings in pick and roll. Now we're talkin!!!

Nate McMillan is an intensely unoriginal/uninventive coach but he is very much of the school of stick with what works.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

At the 4:32 mark of the first quarter, we were up 14. Now, less than 11 minutes later, we're down 11. That's -25 in 11 minutes.

 

[SLAB]

Steps out of room for a little;

Returns; Seems I spoke too soon. Lmao

 

[Tetsujin]

Lol they were trying to defend Barnes with skinny ass Trae Young

 

[KainLear]

At the 4:32 mark of the first quarter, we were up 14. Now, less than 11 minutes later, we're down 11. That's -25 in 11 minutes.

and 8 TOs in this quarter alone.

 

[Tetsujin]

De’Aaron has been the best player on the floor. The rest of the kings have not.

 

[SacTownKid]

He's back to grabbing the shoulder too. Glad to see him putting his body on the line in a game against a checked out Hawks a few weeks before this team might be back on the deadline treadmill. Not.

 

[SLAB]

Bagley; 14 minutes; 10/4

Bjeli; 12 minutes; 2/2

Absolutely unacceptable. You know what, Dadley? Speak up again. Get your kid out of this hellhole.

Somebody asked earlier, did Bagley get hurt or something? I didn't notice him near the bench area. Maybe they can bribe the statistician to swap the names then e-mail it to the other GM's. That should bump the value a little.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Somebody asked earlier, did Bagley get hurt or something? I didn't notice him near the bench area.

I don't think so. He was back in the game after that comment and looked normal. Maybe his socially-distanced assigned seat is in the back of the class.

 

[SLAB]

It’s so freakin’ wrong that the definition of an unneeded middling vet complained about his situation and gets rewarded with a near 50/50 split with the superior younger talent.

"Soft rebuild". Get used to it, hahaha.
