[Game] Kings @ Pelicans, 03/02/2022 5pm Pacific 8pm Eastern

[Tetsujin]

Kings bigs and getting smashed in the face, name a more iconic duo.

 

[Tetsujin]

Probable superstar Herb Jones with with the foul on non-shooting waste of space De'Aaron Fox.

Having a point of attack defender like Jones (who has been on Fox more than 50% of the time tonight) sure woulda been nice, Monte.

 

[Tetsujin]

Jonas got that foul because he screamed really loud and not because he was fouled.

Really good play so far. Everyone’s been involved in the offense, we’re hitting shots and defense has been solid so far. Let’s keep it up!

 

[Tetsujin]

Tony Snell somehow remaining in the league this long while IT has to keep scrapping and clawing to find a 10-day contract is just more evidence of the league's inherent bias for wings even if they can't do anything.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings playing four guards and Dame Jones.

 

[Tetsujin]

Nice to see that the league has completely given up on the points of emphasis from earlier in the year. Not.

 

[Tetsujin]

Lamb overshot the hoop on that 75 foot shot by like 20 feet. Dude must be roiding lol

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Kings playing four guards and Dame Jones.

With Holmes out and Metu apparently wearing a Romulan cloaking device, our bigs are Sabonis/Jones/Lyles/...Barnes. And when you start three of those guys, the bench is gonna be real small.

I figure the probably correct call is to have Lyles play with the subs, but what do I know?

 

[EIM86]

That’s a good quarter for this team I’ll take it

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Sabonis back to 5 assists, which is fair, because #6 was a give to Mitchell at the top of the key where he took like three dribbles on the drive.

 

[Tetsujin]

Fox fouled Hayes's arm with his face (he also had him hooked)

 

[Capt. Factorial]

The Pelicans' guards refusal to get the ball to Hayes after forcing a switch with Fox is inexplicable.

 

[Tetsujin]

Amazing watching a Kings big bully Jonas after several years of that not happening.

 

[Tetsujin]

Sabonis might be a basketball god.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Wow that was beautiful.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Digging this Sabonis/Valanciunas matchup: big meaty men, bumping meat! (shout out to Big E)

 

[Tetsujin]

I agree that losing Haliburton sucks but Domantas is like really, really, really freaking good. He looks even better than he was in the Pacers' last McMillan year.

 

[EIM86]

Sabonis’s presence in the box deters smaller players from even bothering to go get rebounds. It’s great to watch

Richaun is smiling!

 

[Tetsujin]

Lamb with the solid vet move of picking up Sabonis's foul for him lol

 

[Tetsujin]

DDV has been really good tonight.

 

[Tetsujin]

You can tell Willie Green played with CP3 because the Pelicans all flop like they're on a vegan diet and cursed in the playoffs.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I'm having Superbowl XLVII flashbacks

 

[kb02]

Pels first step when Fox or Domas has the ball is a full step backwards.

 

[NewArena]

I love me some DDV and Sabonis right now

 

[EIM86]

Tired of these Mickey Mouse foul calls on Domas
