[Game] Kings @ Knicks, 2/25/21 4:30pm PST 7:30pm EST

No denying that Bagley at the 5 is his best offensive position in the PnR/dunker spot. It's the other end that's a concern

The concern is with or without him, they are playing the worst in history level defense. haha. I think that end doesn't matter a whole heck of a lot regardless of who is out there. This ship is clearly sailing out to sea.
 
There is no hiding it now, the players are fully aware of the transition situation they are in. There is so little belief in what they are doing right now it's clear as day. The fun of the game returns for only the briefest of flashes now.
 
This is an interesting game for Haliburton. He rarely sees this kind of pressure off the pick and roll and again he's struggling a bit. That's where him adding about 20 pounds will go a long way. If he can split those doubles or circle back around and use the defenders body like Fox does to escape it will open a whole new world of possibilities. He's too reliant on playing over the defense.
 
Well, $2.4M isn't all that minimal. With his prorated salary this year he's got somewhere in the $10M range still coming. Who wants that, for a bad defender who is hot and cold on offense?

When he signed I was a little miffed about those partials Vlade loved so much.
 
Knicks still shooting 62%; Kings up to 48%.

Quickley has 18 pts - 6 above his season avg - in less than 10 min.
