[Game] Kings @ Hornets - Tuesday, Dec. 17 - 4PT, 7ET (Return of the Fox)

[Sluggah]

Confused by CoJos role in this lineup

 

[VF21]

Phone calls you only get when you live in the wilderness:

Hey, neighbor? Could you fire off a couple of shots to scare the bear out of my garbage can?

...

 

[Joshoua]

Set a ****ing screen for once Bagley

Seriously man attempt to make even the slightest contact

 

[SacTownKid]

Questionable lineups from Walton, and that’s probably the game right there.

Joseph and Fox is an interesting lineup on paper defensively but the Kings need to be putting more points on the board moving forward. 104 a game won't cut it.

 

[Kingz19]

Just when the schedule looks like the Kings can make a move, they play like crap after getting through a tough stretch with high hopes. Getting very old

 

[Tetsujin]

Things have gone so wrong MKG is even hitting his threes

 

[VF21]

So Hield is back out there now? I'll admit to being very confused by the lineups tonight...

 

[Sluggah]

MKG draining threes is game

 

[burekijogurt]

good news: we are done with Hornets for the season.

 

[Amiga]

Were not making the playoffs losing twice to the hornets. We don't deserve it.

 

[SacTownGrantFan]

Challenge that call

 

[rosa u podne]

That should have been offensive foul.

 

[Tetsujin]

Challenge that call

It would be a case of adding insult to actual injury

Honestly, it's a bad matchup but concerning because it shows the Kings are still a little too reliant on clock control and defensive stops.

 

[Tetsujin]

Borrego really gonna challenge that?

Thankfully our bonafide star talent is working his way back so maybe we can move beyond gritting and grinding.

...first game back for Fox... I wouldn't jump off that bridge quite yet.

 

[SacTownKid]

It's only one game but tonight was a little "platoonish" in terms of minutes distribution. Walton might have to cut this down to 8 to 8 1/2 players again so they can get as many reps in as possible to speed up the gelling process.

No, we're done for the season. Might as well just turn over and watch reruns of Forensic Files.

 

[rosa u podne]

It should be foul, touched the ball first, but pulled Fox after that.

 

[Tetsujin]

If anything, it should have been a change from a defensive foul to a loose ball foul.

 

[VF21]

Did they just say Buddy has played 26 minutes? Whoa...he must have been wearing the cloak of invisibility.

 

[SacTownKid]

Waltons first instinct is clearly to load up on defense though as evidenced by his use of Ariza and Joseph. This is a game where the Kings didn't score enough and that will become a problem in terms of balance Fox or no Fox. This teams identity will always lean more to offense than defense and we haven't seen a full commitment to that yet. We'll see how it goes I guess.

Damn I feel bad for the 9th guy who has to be cut in half in order to play...

Not him, his minutes.

[burekijogurt]

Buddy blocked. i guess we can call this one.

Buddy with only 6 points certainly didn't help.

dribbled out by Fox.

Charlotte couldn’t handle backcourt pressure when the Kings played them earlier this season either. Too bad just like last time we didn’t start until the game was out of reach
