[Game] Kings @ Knicks Saturday March, 9 - 9:00 AM PT/12:00 PM ET

Bjelica played good defense today. On offense started hot, but started compicating after.

 

[FoxOnTheRun]

My God are these guys shooting on an oval rim? This is ridiculous.

 

[SLAB]

Thanks for reminding us, Grant.

Klay Thompson. 37 points. One quarter.

 

[Amiga]

37 point mention

 

[sactowndog]

An NBA coach agrees with me -regarding BOgi being better, Barnes athleticism may be better at the 4.

Losing has nothing to do with flabby Beli who isn’t a solid NBA player now

Beli with 8 pts, 4 rebounds, an assist, 2 steals and a block in 10 minutes and you are critical of him?! Give it a rest.

 

[Kingsfan23]

The smallball lineup kills us. And Bogi being bad makes it even worse.

It hasn’t proven anything other than we’ve had a tough schedule and aren’t good enough

I’ll trust Joerger’s assessment over yours

 

[SLAB]

Fox is getting killed on defense today.

 

[Sluggah]

can’t believe we’re in this game.

 

[KingKong]

How are we down only two again?

 

[MixM]

Coach is bad .

 

[PurpleHaze]

Like the way Kings playing overall. Started watching when it was 7-0 New York early lead. Since then have slowly pushed tempo, talking on D and moving better, keeping game well within reach only down by a deuce.

 

[The_Jamal]

Buddy has been terrible for one game.

Bogi has been terrible for a whole season.

Nope, try again. He's struggled with his increase in USG and maintaining his efficiency, but he's a better playmaker this season, lowered his turnovers, slightly increased his rebounding, slightly increased his free throw rate.

 

[Kingz19]

Kings benefit from a result dependent whistle for once

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Quick, somebody kill the electricity at MSG so we can call the game!

 

[SLAB]

Nope, try again. He's struggled with his increase in USG and maintaining his efficiency, but he's a better playmaker this season, lowered his turnovers, slightly increased his rebounding, slightly increased his free throw rate.

Defense has disappeared as well. Another welcome treat. (This one is more playing out of position though, so he gets a bit of a pass)

 

[Kingz19]

Nope, try again. He's struggled with his increase in USG and maintaining his efficiency, but he's a better playmaker this season, lowered his turnovers, slightly increased his rebounding, slightly increased his free throw rate.

Basically, Bogdans outside shooting has been disappointing most of the season. Other than that I think some have been pretty ridiculous in their evaluation of him. Almost earning a “hater” label and maybe their motivations questioned.To where even if his better nights aren’t perfect they’ll nitpick the one missed shot or the one sequence of over dribbling

He is still better off our bench though. Not as a starting small forward

 

[Capt. Factorial]

It's a hell of a slog, but we've erased a 15-point deficit by halftime. If we wake up, this game is ours.

 

[Kingz19]

Knicks should be ashamed of themselves lol

 

[Kingsfan23]

Defensively it can be argued Bogdan is better at three than two with his athleticism and 7 ft wing.

 

[Amiga]

I wouldn't mind trading Bogdon in the offseason along with willy. I think as long as we keep Bagley, fox, and hield, this team isn't going to get worse with whatever trade we make.

 

[The Effort Police]

Defensively it can be argued Bogdan is better at three than two with his athleticism and 7 ft wing.

That's not the ringing endorsement of Bogi that you think it is.

 

[Kingz19]

Defensively it can be argued Bogdan is better at three than two with his athleticism and 7 ft wing.

I haven’t had much of an issue with his on ball defense at 2 or 3 overall. Though strength wise he is overmatched at the 3 he battles. If he has lapses it’s losing his man off the ball or not checking his man on the boards(Kings got
Iced in that awful PHX game because Bogdan didn’t pay attention to Oubre) He battles on ball and he got hosed by the refs vs Tatum last game on a big stop.

 

[sactowndog]

Defensively it can be argued Bogdan is better at three than two with his athleticism and 7 ft wing.

Perhaps you didn’t see him get posted up repeatedly or isolated against Tatum repeatedly. He has a 7 ft wingspan but not the weight or strength to guard 3’s.

 

[sactowndog]

That's not the ringing endorsement of Bogi that you think it is.

I don’t think it was meant as an endorsement.

 

[Kingster]

If the Kings can get their shooting percentage up to 40% for the second half they win the game.

 

[Kingsfan23]

As much as Bogs/Beli, the other issue is whether Barnes is a 4 going forward. I see the argument he is. Don’t know if he’s athletic for 3 going forward

 

[Kingz19]

Finally

 

[Kingster]

Bogs is overrated. We've had two years of data with him and I'm not seeing him like the Ginobili that he was claimed to approximate. If anything, Buddy is much closer to Ginobili - getting big rebounds, key steals, big shots, sometimes being out of control and making turnovers, with some plays where you're saying to yourself, "no, no, no, yes!"

 

[SLAB]

As much as Bogs/Beli, the other issue is whether Barnes is a 4 going forward. I see the argument he is. Don’t know if he’s athletic for 3 going forward

Lol, He’s infinitly better suited for the 3 than Bogi is.

 

[SLAB]

Welcome to the game Bogi.
