Joseph, Hield, Holmes, Barnes and Bjelica for the Kings

Doncic, Hardaway Jr, Powell, Finney-Smith, and KP for the Mavs

 

[L'Optimisme]

A very merry and blessed GO KINGS to you and yours this holiday season fam.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Is Bogi playing tonight?

 

[Iced Espresso]

Mavs 10-1 in last 11

Kings 1-5 last 6

Sounds promising.

 

[VF21]

Is Bogi playing tonight?

Yes.

 

[VF21]

What I like seeing so far is the Kings look focused and engaged.

 

[VF21]

And that didn't take long....Luuuukkkaaaa

Go to the Luka Doncic thread if you're rooting for him. See my message earlier in the thread.

 

[Kingz19]

We know we have one month of Buddy shooting just completely lights out to look forward to to bring his dismal shooting percentages back to Buddy levels by seasons end. Kind of like how he went cold over the last 20 games last season to bring a 3 point shooting percentage from close to 50 percent down to 43 by seasons end.

Hopefully the Kings are healthy and in it when that time comes

 

[Iced Espresso]

Nice to see Bjelica aggressive early, he's tougher than he seems sometimes.

 

[VF21]

Bjeli seems to be dialed in.

GO KINGS!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

How did Richaun corral that?

 

[VF21]

MOD NOTE: There are two moderators monitoring this thread. We will deal with any problems. Thanks.

 

[VF21]

How did Richaun corral that?

Incredible talent.

 

[sergmatt]

Of course the game would turn into Bjelica vs Hardaway Jr. Lol

Just like we all figured the 49ers game would be combined 90+ points

 

[VF21]

O/T - I sure miss @Ron. It would have been fun to see the predictions for this game. Should I consider bringing back the old prediction game after the first of the year?

 

[Iced Espresso]

Buddy vs Hardaway?

 

[VF21]

So what happens if Luka gets ejected? (Just a thought... )

 

[Livinthedream]

I like that early on the Kings are not switching on Luka. He's trying to create a mismatch and just ends up walking into double teams.

 

[Amiga]

Cojo continues to give zero offense... at least beli is having a bright start.

 

[Livinthedream]

When you take into account the team is decimated and struggling, Bogi and Corey Joseph have been playing through various lower body ailments I thought Bagley would give it a go given his injury was upper body and on the hand he doesn't even use for 97% of the game.

Ok. It's not up to Bagley. Maybe that changes your viewpoint on this.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Bogi brain fart...

 

[Sluggah]

Wow. That’s a lot of complaining.

 

[Kingz19]

Cousins would’ve been T’d up 5 times by now with half of the theatrics

 

[gunks]

Good start! Keep it up boyos!!

 

[VF21]

I am actually somewhat amazed that Grant, who usually idolizes the best of the opposition, made such a fuss (albeit correctly) about Doncic.

 

[VF21]

Cousins would’ve been T’d up 5 times by now with half of the theatrics

DMC would have been ejected and banned from the building.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Couple of costly mistakes by Bogi, or we would be up 3 more, and perhaps more than that. We need FIBA Bogi!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I may never have seen a man so WIDE OPEN UNDER THE BASKET in the half court in my life, and I've watched a lot of basketball.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Pace has been fun.

Besides the Bogi blunder ball movements looks good tonight, using double teams and switches at a decent rate. Interesting game so far.

 

[Sluggah]

Our old JJ. Good kid.
