[Game] Kings @ Pacers - Friday, Dec. 20 - 4PT/7ET

[Kingster]

Indiana outsmarting the Kings. They have a lot of smart players - Brogdon, Sabonis, McConnell, etc.

Buddy is looking like a guy on the trading block. I'd like to see more of Justin James.

 

[SacTownKid]

Still confident in our Kings here, but can someone explain why Holmes only played 10 minutes?!

If this game doesn't start to turn around in the 3rd I think it's time to experiment with Bagley and Holmes up front. Playing him 20 minutes per game won't cut it right now.

Fox has had steals and deflections and is looking for team mates.

Buddy Bricks had a couple of nice assists but made one shot. One shot.

JJ played some solid D and hit a 3 ball. Missed a dunk but had an amazing pass to Bagley.

Bagley allowed Sabonis to get under his skin with his physicality. Had some good looks, but we need rebounds. Period.

Bjelica had an amazimg start to the game then MIA.

HOLMES has been cheat code Holmes. If Walton doesn't play him more inthe second half, then he doesn't really want to win.

Rest=meh

Or somebody who isn't getting any of those easy looks in some free throw line pick and roll. Walton really needs to call some easy ones early in the game for Buddy. Also Buddy is being a little too unselfish again. You can tell every time he has the ball he's looking to make a play for someone else. That's not what he's being paid the big bucks for.

Sooo tired of this small-ball, lets get outrebounded by everyteam B$

 

[kingdivac]

Liked Fox with 3 steals, he was pawing at the ball against any Pacer effectively.

In fairness, they went small too and the Kings have out rebounded them in this game. Allowing 64 percent can't happen. They totally wiped their backside with the Kings defensive scheme. So much so they went to a zone for like the 2nd time this year. And of course gave up a back door play right away. Lol.

Absolutely

Buddy’s worse game of the season thus far. Bags getting out physicalled.

We need the Buddy from last season. I don’t understand what’s going on with him

Is it our system?

I've seen him get easy looks. He's just missing. There appears to be too much data for that processor of his. I'm starting to lose patience with Buddy Hield. I'll be re-assessing after the New Year.

Not a lot of opportunities for offensive rebounds when they can't miss.

Buddy needs to be moved to 6th man. The guy is a great shooter but just not a starter.

 

[joemama]

Buddy miss
Holmes make
I see a pattern

 

[kingdivac]

jeez....shot clock - common.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Buddy is awful tonight. He'll probably do his usual where he decides to start hitting shots toward the end of the game.

 

[NewArena]

Waltons rotations are all kinds of jacked up. We need to see more Fox and Buddy together I think.

YES

 

[joemama]

Holmes down there with four yellow jerseys

 

[joemama]

Sit down Buddy
I don't know whats worse your ball handling or protensity to jack up contested bricks

 

[Folsomkingsfan]

My goodness our team is not good

 

[Sluggah]

Holmes. love.

 

[kingdivac]

offensive foul on Pacer pushing off - not called.

 

[Sluggah]

Here’s an intriguing lineup

 

[Capt. Factorial]

This has got to be the biggest lineup of the year.

 

[kingdivac]

Do they even practice offense together?

 

[burekijogurt]

This has got to be the biggest lineup of the year.

put in Fox for Cojo to go to 11.

 

[dude12]

Walton thinking way outside the box with this lineup

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Do they even practice offense together?

That was 100% on CoJo, not an offensive scheme failure. CoJo jumped to shoot, Bagley crashed the boards, CoJo thought he was going to get stuffed, panicked, and threw it without looking to where Bagley had been.

 

[KingKong]

Rotations are way out of whack.

 

[kingdivac]

still time.....maybe

 

[NewArena]

Ok. Walton getting too cute with these lineups and tinkering now

You’re not Phil Jackson. Just be YOU! That’s what has been working for us. Ugh
