[Game] Kings @ Nets, 2/23/21 4:30pm PST 7:30pm EST

[Tetsujin]

DQJ needs all the minutes

“Only Steph Curry has made more three pointers than Buddy Hield this year.”

That does not seem true at all.

It makes sense when you realize how one dimensional of a 3 point shooter Walton has turned Buddy into this year. Look at his shot chart!

[Reverend]

Why did Joseph need to set a double screen right there? Just cost us a TO and 2 points

definitely. You have to drop down to #22 to find someone with a worse 3pt % tho. Which is the complete opposite of what Buddy was doing just a few years ago (blowing away the nba in terms of percentage). I still think Luke is hugely responsible for that but I’m losing my confidence in Buddy more and more

 

[Tetsujin]

DQJ is wrecking every Nets set offensively by himself

 

[KainLear]

Bagley with the 2nd jump!

(Came in here just to say that haha)

 

[Tetsujin]

All-star snub Tyrese Haliburton

 

[Tetsujin]

He almost hit that!

 

[SacTownKid]

Yeah, the winning formula is indeed still there.

 

[NewArena]

I know I’m delusional but I’m still optimistic we can turn this thing around

All-star snub Tyrese Haliburton

Vecenie has been put on notice.

 

[Tetsujin]

I was being facetious when I said Tyrese was going to be CP3 but nights like tonight make me feel like I was underselling him.

 

[Reverend]

Turn what around the game or the season? Lol

 

[Sluggah]

Hey, of the 8 players we’ve put on the floor, CoJo has played the least amount of minutes. So kudos to Luke. Baby steps, glimmer of hope, yada yada.

 

[SacTownKid]

I know I’m delusional but I’m still optimistic we can turn this thing around

"**** your optimism."

 

[SwipaTical]

Yeah, the winning formula is indeed still there.

Sure when Walton plays a tight 8 man rotation but that's not sustainable.

 

[Tetsujin]

Not a great first minute of the quarter by Barnes

 

[SacTownKid]

Sure when Walton plays a tight 8 man rotation but that's not sustainable.

No, when he runs pnr and 5 out small ball. Now with DaQuan back, he's got the bodies to pull it off.

 

[SacTownKid]

3 PG lineup back in. Lets see how this one works.

 

[Tetsujin]

Good god, Harden is freaking on fire

 

[Tetsujin]

No CoJo look is a good look, Mark

 

[NewArena]

People have been acting like the Barnes injury wasn’t a huge loss for us and that don’t sit right with me

 

[Tetsujin]

De’Aaron in sudden sharpshooter mode

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

I hate to say this but the Kings have just been playing really ugly basketball for going on seven games now. It's bad, consistently bad, and no effort seems to be made to fix the bad.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Hali burns it up for 22 and 9 but you look down and all of a sudden Fox is at 21 and 8.

 

[SacTownKid]

I thought Harden would wake up with the Nets but I guess he's going to kind of sleep during most of the games he plays from here on, haha.

 

[NewArena]

Maybe Fox’ injury threw him off and he’s returning to form. I really don’t think his great hot streak was a fluke at all

The spacing is big. They are ramming pnr down their throat again too. And spreading out like they did on that 7-1 run.

 

[Tetsujin]

Too many non-pnr actions to Holmes and Barnes right now. Go back to the well. Kyrie and Harden are both physically incapable of sticking with Fox or Haliburton when they get rubbed off

 

[Iced Espresso]

As soon as Kayte said this game was definitely going to be a good one I knew the Nets would go on a run.
