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

JJ > Trevor Ariza

 

[Amiga]

Why did we stop playing JJ these last few games?

 

[kingdivac]

What did I say?????

Love his defensive effort....regardless of offense.

 

[burekijogurt]

Bjelica and Buddy both 1-7 for 3. That has got to turn around at some point, at least with Buddy who catches fire like that often. sooo...maybe?

Trevor Ariza.

 

[dude12]

JJ showing he needs to play. Makes us way more athletic.

 

[kingdivac]

Remember when we beat the Mavs and Rockets back to back and were super excited because Bagley and Fox comebacks were right around the corner? Good lord.

This is player dynamics.....they have to figure it out.

 

[SacTownKid]

With Fox this team is going to have to change it's identity a bit. Walton has to spread the floor much better and rather than look for shooters off of screens they need to be spotting up. That corner 3 by James was a perfect example. Fox is constantly getting into the paint but there are no spot shooters on the weakside for him to find when teams cut him off via help. Bagley was the one up top. He hit one, clanked the other.

Would be fine not seeing buddy for the rest of this game. Besides being ice cold, dude is making a ton of stupid plays all over the court.

 

[kingdivac]

Bagley didn't even celebrate that buzzer beater

 

[dude12]

Small ball lineup

 

[burekijogurt]

What did I say?????

you said he has been more consistent. he has been shooting 23% from 3 for the season, but he is being inconsistent tonight

 

[Capt. Factorial]

What did I say?????

I would argue that pointing at a player who has averaged 3.3 points a game and not even logged a minute in over half of the team's games, but hen just scored 6 points in 13 seconds, and arguing that makes the player *consistent* might be a losing argument.

 

[SacTownKid]

They finally let Buddy run some interior pick and roll. That's where he can find his easy shots or a big.

 

[dude12]

Run the small lineup and we give up wide open looks at 3

 

[kingdivac]

still fighting

There are two ends of the court.

 

[SacTownKid]

That right there is the shot they need to get Buddy at the start of the game.

 

[dude12]

This lineup getting torched on D

 

[joemama]

Buddy wide left about a foot and a half

 

[Amiga]

This is the worst version of buddy.

 

[jcwkings]

The Kings defense is absolutely awful. Only this franchise man.

 

[burekijogurt]

This lineup getting torched on D

which lineup was not?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

There are two ends of the court.

Yet oddly enough, your "what did I say?" comment had nothing to do with defense and everything to do with two quick threes.

 

[KingKong]

Harrison Barnes has been largely absent the last 6 games.

Is it your point every game to try to prove me wrong? You should change your name to WannaBet.

JJ had some great blocks and huge shots. The shots where the cherry on top. It's sad I have to point that out to you, but again you seem intent to ride me so there it is.

 

[burekijogurt]

I think this game is a turning point for Buddy. He is now missing by a foot. His shooting percentage space is spherical so he should soon cross into the high shooting percentages part of that space. I expect him to light it up next 10 games.

 

[SacTownGrantFan]

Good D by Holmes

 

[burekijogurt]

Look its our soon to be starting lineup.

 

[NewArena]

No shame here. They’re a tough, well oiled machine right now. Again, i truly feel we just need real practice time together

I’m sure folks will begin panicking before our next great in though lol
