Nice And one for Fox there

Someone call Southwest so we can stop all this travel.

Running an offense is what separates the real superstars from the rest these days. It's funny Markkanen is the lowest apg player out of the top 25 scorers. The top 10 is averaging no less than 4.1 apg.

The Jazz are a fairly unique team/system where they have tremendously good passing from basically all of their rotation players. Kelly O/Vandy are above average big man passers, Conley, Clarkson, Sexton share the workload and THT/NAW are above average passers on the wing when they play. Lauri hasn't really had to show much playmaking. It'll be interesting once (if) he's a focal point of their rebuild and all these vets are gone if he has that in the bag

 

[SacTownKid]

Geez, is it lazy to compare him to Dirk then? Back to the game

I mean, it's also not hard to see players that grew up overseas tend to get prepared to play like similar players that had a similar road when they were developing.

 

[MizzouKing]

These refs are getting paid by the whistle, I assume…

 

[Capt. Factorial]

So, so sloppy

 

[The_Jamal]

We should probably not pass them the ball directly for a wide-open 3

 

[pdxKingsFan]

well that was dumb.

 

[SacTownKid]

Barnes has been shooting some shots he likely shouldn't be. He's had some really bad passes and sloppy catches that's he's rushed into a shot. He needs to be a little more selective on those.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

maybe we don't try to get one of those 3s back and just put 2 in?

 

[The_Jamal]

Lol, that was something on Fox, but hey. We take the K33GAN 3

 

[SacTownKid]

Fox gets no respect I tells ya.

 

[Caccia]

The starters are playing a lot of minutes tonight, by necessity.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

The starters are playing a lot of minutes tonight, by necessity.

Not a great strategy at altitude

 

[MizzouKing]

Fox getting more deserved respect, but he has GOT to stop moping and pouting after no-calls. Shades of Boogie there.

 

[The_Jamal]

Ok there we go Keegs. Guy closed too hard on the 3, blow by him, get the easy mid-range

 

[Kingz19]

What was Huerter doing? Domas was right in front of him

 

[Tetsujin]

Keegan the only King playing good right now

 

[The_Jamal]

Jesus great block Keegs but where the hell is everyone else?

 

[SacTownKid]

Murray made use of the go go Gadget arms on that block.

 

[The_Jamal]

What was Huerter doing? Domas was right in front of him

He had 4 options to pass the ball to and easily chose the worst option

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Not a great strategy at altitude

An even worse strategy considering they play the rangy athletic Hawks tomorrow night.

 

[Kingz19]

Like the last game, can’t shake them

 

[The_Jamal]

ooo baby the Keegan patience in that PnR.

annnnd then gives it back to Lauri

 

[The_Jamal]

Kings-Jazz would be a great 7-game series. 2 great coaches, they can't stop our strengths, we can't stop their strengths. Two up-tempo teams that play unselfishly with good depth.

 

[The_Jamal]

Amazing defensive possession from Keegan there. Dude might be having the best quarter of his career, he's straight ballin' on both ends

 

[Tetsujin]

Poor Kessler gonna check under his bed for Domas every night from now on

 

[Kingz19]

Domas chewing up all their bigs. Keep going to him down low

 

[King-Da-Yah]

Kings-Jazz would be a great 7-game series. 2 great coaches, they can't stop our strengths, we can't stop their strengths. Two up-tempo teams that play unselfishly with good depth.

1000% it would be!

 

[The_Jamal]

And while Vandy/Kessler can defend most of the NBA at a high level, Sabonis is just too strong in the post for them to handle. It's automatic
