[Woot!]

BARNES LEYS GO!!!

YAAAAS.

HB sneakily been the third banana for the kings the last 8 games. The problem is he'll have one of these runs every season and then revert back. Let's see if he can keep it going

Yep, he's Dallas Barnes. I brought up the stats before he's best on the team in PPP in iso but has like a 5% freq. In Dallas he was like 5th in the league in iso.

METU LOCKDOWN DEFENSE ON LEBRON TO FORCE A BAD THREE

 

[dude12]

Thank you Lebron

Unfortunately the first sentence answers the second. Barnes is who he is at this point, and the revert is imminent. Hopefully he sticks in the happy medium land while Fox and Domas continue the heavy lifting. As long as it isn’t early season Barnes, we’re good.

METU ON BRON WAS THE SOLUTION ALL ALONG

 

[HndsmCelt]

Yes! Play this right we get a two for one

 

[SacTownKid]

Metu and Lyles and Bron goes for the homerun? Lazy haha.

 

[TaxMan]

Play smart

 

[Tetsujin]

Metu sucking at defense all season only to come up with the stop of the game is perfect.

 

[SLAB]

Killer defense by Metu. I have a huge soft spot for that guy.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

The big lineup for defense. Holmes, Metu, Lyles, Barnes. I like it against LA

 

[macadocious]

Yes! Play this right we get a two for one

what? No. lol

Dallas Barnes was sort of bad though. There has to be a happy medium somewhere where he can be mega-efficient shooter/scorer Barnes and the Barnes that knows when it's time to go get a bucket and get to the FT line

 

[Kingz19]

Eat clock and attack the hoop with Fox or HB!

no three..unless you make it

 

[dude12]

How about a Keegan 3

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Not sure if you read my earlier post, but this here is one of my pet peeves when it comes to the Kings. Get a team in the penalty (or close to it), and still settle with jump shots. Attack the rim! Make contact! Draw the foul!

Like, the refs are probably going to screw y'all anyway, because they're the gd lakers, and y'all are the Kings. But at least make them screw you! Don't bail them out by settling for threes!

 

[Tetsujin]

JTA with the terrible foul there. De'Aaron was probably missing that anyways lol

 

[The_Jamal]

holy crap we get a call in crunch time.

 

[dude12]

Damn….surprised Lakers didn’t challenge that

 

[Tetsujin]

Light the Beam chants in the Crypt!

 

[Kingz19]

Come on with the damn free throws

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Damn Fox. Hit the clutch free throws.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kayte obviously not used to LA traffic lol

 

[SacTownKid]

Now, just don't foul on a 3. Refs trying to find a way.

 

[Tetsujin]

Gonna give Fox the benefit of the doubt on that last missed FT. Dude's played like the entire quarter and 40 minutes on the night.

 

[The_Jamal]

Hard to nit-pick Fox dropping 30 without Domas creating on the floor, but man. Missing a few huge FT's

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Fox lacking that usual burst down the stretch, without Sabonis to do the heavy lifting for him for the first 40 minutes.

 

[Woot!]

Welp. Bron obviously remains a very effective player. But I must say that his season averages look a little less impressive after watching this.

 

[Tetsujin]

Of course lol
