Tied up

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings inexplicably leading.

Tied up

Aaaand now we got the lead.

 

[Hoovtrain]

If Fox and Bagley can just knock down their mid range shots consistently, that would real open this offense up. I’ve given up on the 3s lol

 

[SacTownKid]

They're getting some brains here. This unit can't shoot the ball great but it's athletic. I still can't understand how Malone isn't zoning them. He's letting them out run and jump his team.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Still getting outshot, +3 with turnovers, but we made up the boards.

Not sure how we are ahead, but cool.

 

[SacTownKid]

Nuggets really missing Grant here. Cannot stop Barnes

I didn't really pay attention to the Nuggets offseason but they lost like 3-4 key pieces. Crazy.

Malone’s never been a huge zone guy but he really should be considering several plays move like their feet are encased in concrete on defense.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Bagley & Holmes both with 3 fouls.

How the heck does Jokic not have a single foul?

 

[dude12]

Kings at the line more.....17 to 11

 

[kb02]

I don't understand how you can over rotate a double team. Lolzzzz.

 

[Tetsujin]

That Fox hesi is mean

Kings at the line more.....17 to 11

Drawing fouls is underrated in how it affects a game.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Tuned in for the second half. This sounds like a national broadcast. Different not having Grant, but this is good. It's nice to see Bagley out there all I want is him to stay healthy.

 

[Kingz19]

Bagley is +7. Highest of all players on both teams at this moment. That’s pretty encouraging because last season the +/- with him on the floor was usually bad no matter his overall numbers

 

[macadocious]

Really good D by Bags there

 

[SLAB]

Freakin’ seriously? CoJo for Holmes?

 

[kb02]

Freakin’ seriously? CoJo for Holmes?

Cojo is Walton's ride or die.

 

[Hoovtrain]

How about we stop the Bagley 3 nonsense

 

[kb02]

Bags really needs to stop jumping on defense (on the ball)

 

[Tetsujin]

Jokic getting star calls now

 

[Hoovtrain]

Just keep giving Jokic calls refs . Give me a break

 

[macadocious]

Bags really needs to stop jumping on defense.

Hea learning so much right now. He literally had never had a game like this. This is exciting.

 

[Tetsujin]

Bags really needs to stop jumping on defense.

Still super raw on that end. The good possessions are really encouraging though

 

[dude12]

Can’t breathe on Jokic sheesh

 

[Tetsujin]

The return of ISO-(Co)Joe

 

[Livinthedream]

Hea learning so much right now. He literally had never had a game like this. This is exciting.

Literally learning a new position in the fly.

 

[SacTownKid]

Malone’s never been a huge zone guy but he really should be considering several plays move like their feet are encased in concrete on defense.

True but the thing about his team is they are still one of the only teams (besides Sac of course) that appear to be unwilling to join the rest of the league in playing small. Losing guys like Grant puts him in a tough spot cause he lost a huge piece in playing small defensively. I think he's going to have to use whatever he can to make up for it.

 

[dude12]

Refs determined to foul out our bigs

 

[Hoovtrain]

So why doesn’t Fox get those calls??
