[Game] Kings @ Mavericks - Sunday, Dec. 16 - 4 PT/7ET

Servicable in the paint or not here next year

 

[VF21]

WTF? That looked more like a move by a left tackle than a guard. I'm remembering one of the many reasons why I hate the Mavs - or any team coached by Rick Carlisle.

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

SCREW You Brockoeff or whatever you scrub are, don't injure our star.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Luka “James harden” Doncic.

How was that a foul on Fox? He took 8 steps!!

 

[dude12]

Mavs need ref mode

 

[fnordius]

Holy crap, the Mavs in-arena entertainment is so freaking bland and 75% just "hey guys! Dirk has played for us for twenty years!"

Well, he is the only one left on either team that remembers any real rivalry between the franchises, even if he does run like Greg Ostertag.

 

[VF21]

Oh thats the excuse we'll cojur up now.

It's not an excuse. It's a comment about the way the refs are calling the game. The kid hasn't earned the right to some of the calls he's getting.

 

[Tetsujin]

It looked like Wes Matthews hurt himself bricking that post-up shot

 

[Kingz19]

Willie having a rough one

 

[Tetsujin]

Well, he is the only one left on either team that remembers any real rivalry between the franchises, even if he does run like Greg Ostertag.

Tag could probably beat him in a footrace. Honestly Dirk's running style reminds of that time when we randomly had Bill Wennington on our team and played him in garbage time once.

 

[dude12]

Just get the ball to whomever Doncic is guarding

 

[VF21]

I guess I need to repeat this:

Just a reminder. This is the game thread. Not an "I LOVE DONCIC" thread or a "I HATE DONCIC" thread. His performance during the game is perfectly okay for discussion. Taking the discussion into the realm of how we should have picked him, how he's better than Bagley, etc. need to go in one of the threads in the NBA forum.

 

[Tetsujin]

Fox just blocked Luka.

 

[SLAB]

Doncic is out of gas. That’s a positive.

 

[fnordius]

Can we get our 10th assist before halftime? Fox still having 0 is starting to bug me.

 

[VF21]

We can take this game if we don't let up on the pace.

 

[Livinthedream]

Yes. Go at Doncic every time.

 

[Tetsujin]

Justin Jackson has actually turned into a pretty serviceable rotation guy.

 

[dude12]

I guess I need to repeat this:

I’m just stating fact

 

[VF21]

Very nice first half. Yes, Luka does a lot but the Kings can certainly force him into making errors because it looks like the Mavs already depend upon him to do just about everything.

 

[Tetsujin]

Doncic is out of gas. That’s a positive.

That last three point shot did not look like the shot of a guy who's legs weren't jelly.

 

[VF21]

I’m just stating fact

I wasn't referring to you. The posts I was referring to have gone away.

 

[Kingz19]

Bjelica defensively had a lot to do with that close to the quarter. He had a few huge defensive plays at the rim. He’s actually a pretty good interior defensive player though understandably has trouble on switches. Dude would’ve been an all star 15 years ago.

 

[Tetsujin]

What the hell is this halftime show?

 

[Kingsfan23]

Fox no assists, this needs to change

WCS, we just can’t have porous interior defense and continually giving up boards going forward. Between now and the end of this year it has to disappear

 

[SLAB]

That last three point shot did not look like the shot of a guy who's legs were jelly.

The “I can’t go anywhere so I’ll step-back three” near airball?

 

[dude12]

Kings have to be happy where they are at right now......Bogi finished the half with only 2 fouls is huge. Lots of guys not really playing that well on our side

 

[Tetsujin]

If he had come into the league a little earlier for a team that wasn't coached by a guy notorious for breaking players, there's a chance he could have been here.

Kings in general aren’t assisting well in this one because nobody is making their open set up shots. Willie is having one of his no catch days as well. Kings mainly scored on one on one plays. Kings would be destroying them if they had shot the ball with any decency from deep.

Glad to hear it. I'm not watching the game but I see he's getting a bit of decent press lately. Hope he's picking it up because Joerger seems intent on playing him.
