Kings/Lakers Preseason Game Thread

[The_Jamal]

Another nice defensive play from Marvin.

And a nice pass to Gabriel in the post!

 

[Tetsujin]

Kind of quiet on this board, so I went to check the score thinking the Kings would be down 10. See that they are down 1. I guess the board posting is currently just for bashing and trashing.

Less opportunity for hot takes when Bagley is having a solid night.

 

[The_Jamal]

Marvin with 7 FTA in 23 minutes.

This is very good.

 

[White_Chocolate]

I think Bagley's evolution will be similar to Ingram; Not in their play style, but in that they were both extremely young coming in and will make large leaps each year.

Marvin with 7 FTA in 23 minutes.

We're still not doing a good job of putting him in a good position to score but you can see him doing his work in the post and forcing the Lakers to foul.

So Gabriel looks way better than Jackson

Should be noted that Bagley has never looked as bad as Ingram did during his rookie season.

The Dleague players are on the floor

wow this game is now at a crawl. everyones gonna foul out

 

[Joshoua]

Not seeing the game but Bagley is again taking heat on social media.. sounds like he’s at least showing some more

Na

It's the unorthodox left.

By unorthodox I mean, not only is he a lefty, but he leans his shooting side into the defender.

I'm interested in the FTMs. 5 out of 7, we could live with that.

 

[miltonap]

Ive had no problem with Bagley thus far, hes really nimble

 

[The_Jamal]

Gabriel moves pretty well laterally. Looks like a good candidate for that 3/4 flex player.

 

[parker]

Even before the D leaguers came in, it looks like (from the box score) the Kings were able to hold their own.

Luka would have made 7 of 7.

Yikes....

 

[SLAB]

Gabriel >>>> Jackson.

Can we switch their contracts?

 

[LoungeLizard]

Luka would have made 7 of 7.

Wrong! He would have made 8 out of 7!

 

[Tetsujin]

HG plays offense like a quicker version of post-knee Webber.

 

[sactowndog]

Bagley played good defense on Kuzma. Considering defense was supposed to be an issue his defense is a pleasant surprise.

 

[parker]

Again, only able to see the box score, but only 10 turnovers and 8 steals with the young guys. That's pretty impressive.

 

[steelevt]

Beat me to it.

 

[kingsboi]

in other news, Ingram looks like he took a big hit in the timeout sessions

Imagine all the spin moves once he becomes more ambidextrous!

I also dig his defense. Bagley's offense is super rough, but I knew he'd be raw. I think playing with Bogi (and Fox) will get him some easy points.

It would be nice to see Bagley's vaunted tenacity on the boards transfer to the pros, but I'm sure it will in time. Rebounding is one of those traits that usually transfers.

Kid needs a lot of work, but his impact isn't as crappy as one would think if they just checked the boxscore.

Lakers are playing all their starters sans Lebron and we're playing Harry with a bunch of D-Leaguers.

Trying to get that confidence building first pre-season win?

 

[kingsboi]

fouls...so so many fouls, hope this isn't a regular season trend otherwise I'm taking a break from the NBA

 

[gunks]

Nice little o-board and putback from Bagley there.

 

[twslam07]

Harry needs to be better with his shot selection, but I like his aggression. I hope he chooses his spots better as he gains more experience.
