[Game] Kings @ Hornets, 3/15/21, 4pm PST, 7pm PST

[Tetsujin]

Game 2 of 6 on this trip! Anything can happen!

 

[SLAB]

At least Hali vs Ball will be fun.

What’s the over/under on PJ Washington?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

What’s the over/under on PJ Washington?

I'm going to set it at 0.5 PJ Washingtons and take the over.

 

[Spike]

Today's game decides the Rookie of the year award. No minutes restriction for Hali, and he goes 40/20/10/5/2.5
Ball curls up in the fetal position, calls his older Lonzo. He says, "see bud? That's why I don't play against Fox."

So let it be written, so let it be done. Et cetera, etc cetera. Next time the Kings come around, Hornets players will have sheep's blood on their jerseys for protection.

It'll be interesting but I think Ball is starting to comfortably pull away. For once, the Hornets aren't burying their young guys for all time like they used to. How could the Jordan Hornets figure this NBA thing out before the Kings? Argh. haha.

First game I've watched in over 4 weeks. Took the Kings 1H ML. Hoping to see Hali shine against Ball.

 

[SLAB]

Kosta Koufos had a full head of hair compared to Zeller.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Bagley with the Barneseque Euro-Slo-Mo!

 

[Sluggah]

Zeller looks like he’s aged 20 years over the last 5.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Fox is getting anything he wants at the rim.

 

[kb02]

Fox should score 50 tonight. None of Charlotte's guards can guard him.

 

[Sluggah]

Can the Hornets even see Fox? I’m starting to question.

 

[SLAB]

There will be zero defense this game.

 

[SLAB]

So... does Zeller actually do anything besides be the slowest and most unathletic player I’ve seen all year long?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Fox, tiny bump in transition = offensive foul. Hayward dislodges Hali for ten feet = foul on Hali.

 

[Tetsujin]

CoJo’s first two defensive possessions were him getting beaten badly on a switch and randomly fouling a guy.

He's probably the only player in the NBA who could potentially pass for a Royal, so he's got that going for him I guess?

 

[SLAB]

New JJ exists in the 1st quarter?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

James in early!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

New JJ exists in the 1st quarter?

Now if only he were in instead of CoJo...

 

[SLAB]

Even not having any faith in New JJ to develop into any sort of a useful piece, it’s still nice to see something different in the first quarter,

 

[Sluggah]

For once this season it actually WAS good defense by CoJo

 

[Tetsujin]

Tank commanders Bjeli and CoJo doing everything they can to preserve the tank. Y’all sure you want them off the roster?

Hey, CoJo played actual good defense on that one possession.

 

[SLAB]

Impressive fastbreak, Malik.

 

[hrdboild]

The refs mercifully decided to intervene instead of letting the Hornets score twice in a row on uncontested dunks. I can only assume the call there was "poor sportsmanship" on the Hornets.

 

[Woot!]

How many times will Bags foul a 3-pt shooter?

 

[Tetsujin]

Luke gotta save that challenge for CoJo

 

[Tetsujin]

Marvin’s been holding his hand for the last three minutes and Luke’s just letting him play

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Doug needs to tell Jones that if you memorize the player numbers, you're less likely to make the same player ID mistake over and over.
