[Game] Kings @ Lakers, 11/26/21 7:30pm Pacific 10:30pm Eastern

Gentry going mad scientist in this one. Tied at the half. The game is there for the taking if we can just get hot

 

[Rob-The-Great]

he’s by far the best player tonight and on this team

Naw TT taking that award. I thought Bagley and metu and Jones also played solid, even Davis. Play those guys most of the second half. Send everyone else home early

 

[miltonap]

TT was a huge get for us. Just a tough dude

 

[Woot!]

Absolutely putrid shooting display from every area of the court and.... TIED at the half?

We'll take it!

 

[Tetsujin]

Mezie having a solid game on the defensive end

The Thompson/Metu front court has really made life difficult for the Lakers despite losing the talent battle to Davis/Lebron by a vast mile.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

How is any team with Labron and Davis this bad?

Too many cooks in the kitchen

 

[iowamcnabb]

How many good shooting nights have the Kings had this year? 2 or 3 maybe?

yeah and we won those games lol. This team is in a massive slump

 

[Kingster]

Lakers playing gawdawful defense. If the Kings could just start making open shots they'd be up by 15. Fox looks like he has no confidence, turning down open shots, shooting an air ball. He's got to go into his 1st half Portland mode.

 

[dude12]

Buddy and Davion a combined 2-14 off the bench, the other bench guys were good

Of course the one time AD managed to slow down TT in the first half is a sportscenter highlight.

 

[dude12]

I think Bagley can help this game with some paint touches

 

[Woot!]

Certainly feels like they've had more than their fair share of 5-20ish shooting nights from 3. But last I looked they were middle-of-the-pack both offensively and defensively at about 34%.

20 games in, can you really call it a slump anymore? team simply lacks shooting among other things but that is a given thus far in this season

I am not sure you're watching the same game as the rest of us. If anything, it seems like he's too confident in his perimeter shot right now and taking too many jumpers in lieu of drives to the paint.

It's good to see a coach exploring the full roster to see who is playing well at any given time. If it doesn't work, he doesn't wait around. The TD sub early in the first quarter is a good example

 

[Krunker]

Well, the halftime footwork lady was impressive

 

[MizzouKing]

Having seen it before, we know there's a real good chance we'll shoot ourselves out of this brick fest sometime the second half. In the meantime the Kings are rebounding better than I've ever seen them! From what I'm seeing, Coach isn't "tinkering"... he's using the team's depth to keep up the pace he wants, and letting the hungry players get a taste of opportunity.

Although in this game it's understandable. The Lakers are perfectly fine sitting their whole team at the basket and let role players shoot or try and make plays.

Considering our shooting splits, it's not just understandable, it's the smart thing for the Lakers to do.

Davis may go down as one of the most disappointing in NBA history. Flashes of top 10 greatest of all time, but more sleepwalking through his career.

 

[Kingster]

He just turned down a WIDE WIDE OPEN 3 pointer. He just shot an air ball from 15 feet because he was indecisive. What are you watching? His floor management in this game has been anything but good.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Will we see the King?

if rag time can't get time with no Barnes and now no Mo then he won't at all

 

[SacTownKid]

First team to start hitting shots takes this. I don't like Gentry doubling as much as he has been and the Lakers will hit some of these. On the flipside, he can't let a bad lineup sit out there too long and dig a hole like that Jones/Bagley/Harkless/Davion unit did.

You know, game threads should really be reserved for rooting for the team, not bashing the players you don't like.

Yikes, so is the knee the reason he's been limping? Not good if true.

what players do you think I'm bashing here?

Thank you. I'm sorry he's just not helping at this point, sore knee or no sore knee
