[Game] Kings @ Pelicans, 2/1/21, 5pm PST, 8pm EST, Beer o'Clock Nawlins Time

[SacTownKid]

Another odd game. Clearly the fellas are tired as we jacked up way too many threes. The Kings won't win many games shooting 32 percent from three. Game ball to Fox of course but a close second was Holmes. 17 10 3 and 6 and did a fantastic job on Ingram. Barnes was the only other player that could do anything besides jack up threes and when he did shoot em he made em.

Yeah, tired games are odd but they fought through. They gave themselves a chance and in what seems to be less rare lately they stuck to what was working, gave the paint to Fox, and let him roll. There were mistakes and some lineups that were ridiculous but they earned it and you can build off of these type of games.

Who else is loving our new announcer Mark Jones? Dude is dropping classic lines all night. He gets better when the team gets better.

That was a weird one, watched the 3rd quarter in the basement jamming on my guitar, when they went down big I walked away to watch some lessons my teacher made for me, came back for the final two minutes and the Kings had it in the bag already. ok... sorry I missed it.

Fox went nuts. If you get a chance to watch the replay, do it!

 

[Woot!]

A bit early for the rookie wall but understandable given how few games he's played in the last year.

Just checked. Tyrese's last two college games were 2/5 and 2/8. That's a long layoff with no Summer League and a truncated training camp.

He's played 30+ min 5 games in a row - and we know he plays a very high-energy game. Led the team ini boards tonight.

I like his chemistry with Doug a lot. He makes a ton of mistakes throughout the game though but I assume that will get better with more Kings games under his belt.

 

[Woot!]

Fun fact #2: Holmes has played 19 games this year and has collected 18 of his 34 blocks in 3 of them (Indy, Knicks, and tonight).

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Katie gets it about Barnes. Thank you Katie for explaining it to the less fortunate.

I'll have to see if I can at least get a 4th quarter recap. Just checked the box, dang. Go get em Fox.

I had the Pels feed. I am bummed I don't get to hear Jones more. Anywho, they say "Refs did Walton a favor ejecting Bagley making him play small" ... hmmmm.

Yeah, it's unfortunate it comes to that kind of thing and this will become an issue at some point.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah, it's unfortunate it comes to that kind of thing and this will become an issue at some point.

The issue that we’ve seen is that the starting lineup works well just by virtue of having most of our floor spacers out there at once and Barnes and Bagley largely being interchangeable on defense but the big lineup goes to crap pretty much any time we switch out even a single one of those players.

 

[EIM86]

Fox is becoming a star!

 

[kingdivac]

I've forgotten about the Heat loss already - how 'bout that wicked drive by Fox that left many Pelican jock-straps on the floor towards the end to seal it?!
Kings win even with Hield having a bad shooting night. Something about the Pelicans - Fox's 2 best games of the year are against them.

 

[EIM86]

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always liked Fox. But I’m just now starting to see big star potential in him. It’s exciting how it’s coming together. Maybe it’s just because I’m allowing myself to be a fan again post-Vlade, or maybe he’s actually flashing more and more.

on that note, DEFOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Nah your eyes are correct. He’s been carrying this team lately and his confidence is rising

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

What did she say?

Called him super steady and you always know you're going to get something from him every night, he quietly put up 24 and 8 tonight. Plus is three pt % this year is 40%.

Ok, but tell me about your mom's lasagna?

Much obliged, Vinny!

Holy moly. I’m sure Lonzo wishes he would have sat this one out with another sore ankle

Remember when everyone was worried about Fox's 3 point shot in preseaon?

Cant get a close 3 pt shot right. Dont look at the player on 3 pt shot look at the ref for hands down or up. I swear people ignore the refs hand signals they tell you what the call is before the announcers have a clue.

 

[Section 101]

Marvin's dad complaining he didn't play in the 4th.

I'm sure I'll get blasted for this but I'm not a fan at all. Way too many cheesy lines. I don't think he really cares about the Kings. Feels like I'm listening to an ESPN broadcast most of the time. Talks way too much about the opposing players.

I miss Grant and Jerry and their Homerism.

Like your user name says it's a "new era".

 

[midtowner]

Blasted!

I loved Grant and Jerry too. But that is the past. And it is OVER.

Doug and Mark Jones are already fun together. Wait until they have the roar of the crowd behind them, a little more chemistry and M Jones gets to know an opened up Sac. This is going to be a great crew.

I certainly miss Jerry.

 

[DynaPamm]

Wait they ejected him??

Apparently I wasn’t the only one who missed Bagleys first technical (?)because I was screaming WTF when they tossed him

 

[NewArena]

Fox is knocking on the door of superstardom with these offensive moves here lately.

He was a smarter, faster Tyreke Evans out there tonight. Those moves to the basket and the finishes were absolutely NASTY!

You've got to keep in mind the announcers aren't in the arena. They are watching feeds from Sacramento. That's why we're getting some of these confused calls.

Puts on @SLAB glasses. Whiteside with 2 big rebounds surrounded by 3 Pelicans, fouled on the shot but doesn't complain. Hustles back on D only to get tripped by Cojo.

it’s not always pretty and sometimes downright bad, but you cannot deny the impact he brings to the court!

Bagley was doing good. I wouldn't say all that. Fox took the team on his back in 4th. That was the difference. He looked like a superstar tonight
