[Game] Kings @ Knicks - Saturday, Nov. 11 - 5 PT

[Kingster]

I'll be disappointed if Joerger doesn't have WCS defend Porzingas. Who else on this roster would have a chance with that kind of mobility and length? WCS got a lot of acclaim for his defense of Embiid. Now's the time to start building on that performance and make life hell for Porzingas. Christie has mentioned that WCS needs to focus on doing a couple of things very well rather than a lot of things [so-so well]. I wholeheartedly agree. Now go out there against Porzingas and DEFEND!

I am hoping that upon hearing the crowd at G1C go nuts after his blocks on Embiid, that Willie realized that great defense can also get the crowd on their feet. He has the tools in abundance. He just needs that fire to want to make opponents hesitate to come in his area.

The Knicks hustle HARD, they crash the glass every single time.

Since being moved to the bench, Buddy has been averaging 14.9/6.5 on 50% shooting and over 50% from three. Almost 7 rebounds per game from a shooting guard. Really gives much more freedom for other players to try and create and get into the game when he doesn't have to create so much.

That will be a murder if, they put on KP a small guy, last season it was advantage against Kristaps to put smaller guy on him, but this season he has just dominated against smaller guys because of his improvements at core strenght.

I have seen every Knicks game this season, because as a native Latvian this is proud moment in our country, this season he only struggled against Horford and it may sound funny, but vs Pistons against Tolliver and he still dropped 30+ that game.

Yep.

The Kings best bet is to put WCS on him.and hope he's up for the challenge.

Skal and/or Justin Jackson will probably have to guard him for stretches but that may turn ugly. Kosta, or Z-Bo are just too slow and little guys are just too easy to shoot over.

If Willie is engaged he could harass him into a tough shooting night but if he's not locked in (or if Kristaps just has a hot shooting night), Zinger will have another 30+ point game.

 

[Suicide King]

With the exception of opp. 2nd chance points (we rank 29th) , our defense is not bad considering our team make up. 6th in opp. points off our TOs, 10th in opp. fast break points and 5th in opponent points in the paint.

Until our offense is no longer considered worst in the league, we will need to keep this up and hopefully start grabbing more rebounds to cut those 2nd chance points down.

You have to wonder also if that’s the Fox effect as well.

OLD DNP

 

[Starting Five]

I don't know who's on the NYK's other than KP, but we can win if the Kings come out with energy & effort.

GO SACTOWN!!

 

[The Hammer]

Boy this sure would be a great win to get... and very getable.

Solid road win against a beatable team after a big finish fourth quarter win.

I go thru this about 2x a year. Pretty much cripples me for around 3-7 days each time. Really sucks.

I'm liking James Ham more and more.

Try large and consistent doses of potassium citrate throughout the year. Alkalinizing effect dissolves and prevents stones from calcifying.

Take a teaspoon dissolved in juice 2x/day. Or, dissolved in water and balanced with apple cider vinegar for taste and pH balance.

I make my own homemade sugarless gatorade by putting two teaspoons of potassium citrate, a gram of zinc gluconate, a gram of vitamin C, and a couple table spoons of apple cider vinegar in 1.5 liters of water. I'll drink 1-2 of those a day.

It seems WCS loses the opening tip an inordinate amount, not that it’s too big of a deal

And Kosta wins every single one... figure that one out.

 

[Kingz19]

You gotta dunk that Willie..damn

 

[SLAB]

What is this?! I like it a lot!

 

[Kingz19]

Hill!

 

[The Hammer]

Anyone still think 50 is out of reach?

 

[SLAB]

I wish Master Phil lasted long enough to somehow trade us Porzingis for a bag of chips and used ball.

 

[The Hammer]

Hill's slump is basically over. That was it.

 

[Gliesian]

Ugh those jersey advertisements are atrocious.

 

[dude12]

Zinger...early season candidate for most improved

 

[Kingsfan23]

Too easy down low for Kanter, Zach

 

[Kingz19]

Offense really became stagnant. No movement

 

[SLAB]

Skal certainly hasn't shown any progress at all since last season.

 

[Kingz19]

Is fouling three point shooters going to be Skals thing?

 

[jcwkings]

Skal must have record for fouling 3 pt shooters.

 

[dude12]

Skal fouls 3 point shooters like McLemore

 

[sactowndog]

Skal certainly hasn't shown any progress at all since last season.

Geez before the dumb foul he traveled just pivoting with ball. The kid really needs to go to Reno and learn the game.
