Ugly but the Kings not letting the Magic pull closer

 

[iowamcnabb]

Hali with the Tyrese slam

 

[dude12]

Save Bagley’s wrist for when it’s a close game........as the lead dwindles to 11. Walton is a clown

 

[Rob-The-Great]

That sore wrist comment is bs. It's the same unexplainable rotation of minutes as it's been. Stuid man on a otherwise great game

 

[SwipaTical]

Bagley has a hurt wrist and they're playing guys that will soon be traded. I'm for it. Bagley can get his minutes after they're gone.

Stupid smh can't be spelling that word wrong lol

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Prob put bag in at the 30 second mark

 

[iowamcnabb]

Hassan hittin that fade

 

[Tetsujin]

Mo Busta in as the Kings victory cigar

 

[iowamcnabb]

Well it’s a win. Mixed bag of performances but I’ll take it.

 

[dude12]

Mo Bamba sighting....guess that didn’t work out

 

[iowamcnabb]

 

[kingsboi]

three Kings players with a double double that ought to do it. move the Kings to the Eastern Conference

Yet somehow he's giving up 60% on shot attempts against him, dead last in the nba.

It's called team defense and as a team they've had a historically bad run. Individually he's been great. Buddy has been very consistent on the ball.

 

[SLAB]

Lmao at Whiteside rolling around in the background hanging off Kyle Guy... who’s wearing an Ugle Christmas Sweater for some reason?

Is he really that behind in his development that he can only get garbage minutes on this Magic team?

Gotta get more minutes for Khem Birch, I guess.

I think Mo is one of those players that may need a change of scenery to further develop his game and fundamentals. It didn't work out so well for Okafor but there are teams out there that can take a flier on him if the Magic are willing to part with him for a low cost, which considering his lack of playing time indicates just that

Considering the Magic are apparently in win now mode, I’d call them up and see if they’d bite on a Hassan for Bamba trade.

The Ringer wrote an article about him the other day and talked about how hard it is to develop a big man while trying to win.

 

[iowamcnabb]

What a waste of Vuc, they need to trade him at the deadline.

I don't have much faith in the Kings developing players from another lottery team but I definitely would love to see Monte try anyway to bring him along and maybe he turns into something useful

The Kings player development department is actually its strong point right now. Rico Hines isn’t a slouch and he’s got three assistants helping him on that end largely separate from Luke’s own coaching staff. Marvin’s even shown some quick improvement now that he’s healthy enough to play.

 

[NewArena]

Well, nice win apparently. Our team seems to be in good spirits so that’s good for morale and maybe getting a win streak going

Need to see a bigger sample size here in order to call it a Kings strong point but there is no doubt that players have shown flashes and improvement. One example that comes to mind is Holmes. He wasn't this good in Philly or Phoenix.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Good W tonight. Now keep up the same level of play.

 

[EIM86]

Nice win but man Glen Robinson’s SUCKS

I love how Hassan appears to be moving in slow motion sometimes.

It's not so much slow motion as it is like a lagging and choppy video feed. Like he'll just stop. And then move a little. Then stop again.

I'd love to see a proper breakdown of these shots, whether it's a factor of him being switched onto bigs, or always being the guy closing out on 3s in the defensive rotation, the guy back on fast breaks after a quick Fox attempted layup or TO etc. Because in terms of one-on-one defense he has definitely not been getting beat to the tune of "dead last in the NBA"
