[Game] Kings @ Magic, 11/05/2022 2pm Pacific, 5pm Eastern

Even by Kangz epic third quarter meltdown standards, that Orlando Magic third quarter was impressive.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

5-0 run after I said the lineup sucks

What you got for the fourth quarter?

 

[SacTownKid]

And that right there in a nutshell IS this teams identity. As it would be with it being guard heavy with shooting ability.

 

[Kingz19]

36-12 third

I guess there was a good speech

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

What a quarter! Man that felt good. Now we gotta finish strong, which a tough task itself.

 

[dude12]

Thank you Orlando for going small so we can get more guards on the floor

 

[SacTownKid]

Mezie being a more dependable backup center than Richaun Holmes was not on my bingo card.

Really though? High post Holmes' 3rd go around was going to work? hahaha.

 

[Tetsujin]

I want to blame it all on the system but the guy’s timing on both ends of the court has been Dedmon-esque since the start of last season.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Metu is good again???

I really think Mezzy has it to be a solid rotation player when he plays within his game and doesn't try to just be dominant.

 

[kingdivac]

12 pts in the 3rd for un-Magic

 

[dude12]

Monk selling the charge!

 

[hrdboild]

Orlando with a 3rd quarter worthy of a last place team right there. I've seen enough of those to last me a lifetime. Maybe this Kings team is actually good?

 

[kingdivac]

2nd unit feisty

 

[dude12]

Lyles trying to pass behind his back….stop it

It was your first statement.

Yeah, he's pout mode for sure but he also looked just as bad offensively before. Dedmon, Holmes, new day, same misuse of personnel or that the personnel doesn't fit the team. Tomato tomato. If he was being used right and allowed to run pick and roll all night and still looked this bad then it's over but he hasn't gotten the chance so it's still wait and see. We do know for sure he's not going to excel at what's being asked of him. Yeah, if he wants that Brown should have brought Looney with him.

 

[hrdboild]

Spin the wheel, will they call the push-off on the drive or the touch foul on the shot? Who knows?

 

[dude12]

Sketchy calls against Kings….just not allowing us to be physical whatsoever

 

[Tetsujin]

Remember that point, Jerry!

 

[Ozymandias]

big game off the bench for Lyles

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Down 20 to up 10 in 13:06.

 

[Tetsujin]

I appreciate Jamal Moseley running Franz into the ground against our second unit

 

[dude12]

Davion D’ing up Franz

 

[Ozymandias]

Bol Bol can do no wrong

 

[SacTownKid]

Dang, could've had a Bol Bol, got a Justin James.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Down 20 to up 10 in 13:06.

This was clearly like pointing out that a pitcher is throwing a no-hitter.

 

[fansinceday1]

Bring the starters back in, immediately start failing again...

 

[hrdboild]

It was your first statement.

Clearly But I guess what I'm saying is that bad teams can be counted on to lose the third quarter even at home and good teams use the third to conform the game to their preferred pace and build momentum going into the fourth. It's probably more about Orlando being bad right now than us being good, but we've only had one third quarter this season that we lost by double digits and that was the first game against Miami (which we ultimately won) so there are some small signs of progress.

 

[Tetsujin]

Orlando has got to have some of the worst in-arena entertainment I’ve seen on league pass

 

[kingdivac]

Bad turnover....
