Kings/Lakers Preseason Game Thread

[sactowndog]

Dribble penetration should be the bread and butter of his game. Breaks down the defenses, gets our guys a step on their defenders and gets Fox to the line. He hasn't shown the best ability to find shooters but practice makes perfect and play making is something plenty of players improve on over the course of their careers. At some point, something in this offense has to be done to break the defense down because just passing the ball around the horn and cutting without setting screens isn't cutting it.

I’m not sure with Fox it is that he can’t. I suspect it’s more the desire to set up others versus taking the shot himself. Fox seems to have a bit of Westbrook in him.

I’ll start worrying big time if Bagley doesn’t show us anything for these next two games

 

[jcwkings]

No one is asking Bagley to put up 20 and 10. Just show us a flash of skill or make a play that makes us say "ok, that's different, that's impressive". Let us envision what you can be with two to three years of seasoning and development. Thus far he hasn't shown much of anything, which is why the unrest is starting to build.

Exactly, he doesn’t need to get 20-10 just look like a lottery pick man. Look like a player that can one day be a offensive option

Ready to rumble

Vets are sitting.

There is a theory that our expirings are sitting to possibly facilitate the Butler move

 

[killer123]

Beat LA!

I’d love to facilitate Butler to Toronto and keep those 2 in Toronto giving LA no shot at them

Tonight might be a good night for our big to see how much punishment the under sized Lakers can take. Go Kings!

 

[burekijogurt]

mcgee pretty sized. i think he will give our bigs lots of trouble

 

[jcwkings]

The Lakers are starting Ingram, Hart, Lebron, Kuzma. Will be tough for us to match up with defensively, let alone we are missing like a good portion of what will be our regular rotation.

 

[burekijogurt]

Kuzma needs to be dunked on.

Edit: preferably by JJ

4-7s. Let them try to match up with that!

 

[Kingsfan23]

Too bad Yogi is out. Missing a chance to see if he can show out and get into that starting lineup

Honestly with Bogi out I think Fox, Yogi and Mason will all be in the rotation to start the season. Yogi will probably be the backup 2.

Oh lord. Lakers commentary. I need to sync 1140 to my TV.

The Lakers are starting 6'10" Brandon Ingram at PG

 

[twslam07]

Lonzo ducks Fox again....

See what we started? Kings are trend setters.

 

[King Baller]

No Lonzo, Hahahaha!

 

[SLAB]

Get Derek Fisher off my TV.

 

[SLAB]

I hate LA for so many reasons, and one of them is their ever later start times for sportsball.

 

[Joshoua]

You’re crazy there decent and if we had espn we’d here non stop ****ery about Lebron.

“Lebrons first game in LA with this” non stop

 

[Tetsujin]

LA's new jerseys aren't great, mostly because they're just crappy versions of the old Showtime Lakers uniforms.

 

[Livinthedream]

Oh.....you weren't kidding. Interesting.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I didn't think it was possible for Javale McGee to look dumber and then I saw him in a Lakers jersey.
