[Game] Kings @ Pistons - 1/23/17 - 4:30PT/7:30ET

[HndsmCelt]

Fog of war

 

[SLAB]

Only in his mind

And Coach Joerger's.

 

[Blob]

Especially from the post. Curiously he's been absent from it a lot of this season

Its not curious to me. He posts up selectively and strategically so he does not get beat up from all the pounding...because he cannot be as easily doubled away from the basket too.

 

[Gilles]

Willie with a Kobe assist.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Lawson needs to start, as the only legit long term potential starting pg

 

[Larry89]

Woah Malachai Richardson already has better dribbles than Ben

 

[lawlman91]

"But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire or a launderer's soap."

~ Malachi 3:2

 

[Blob]

Malachi with 4th quarter appearance...and its not garbage time

 

[jcwkings]

Malachi seem good at drawing contact on his drives.

Malachi with 4th quarter appearance...and its not garbage time

This is Joerger living on the edge

 

[Larry89]

I finally found out how Matt Barnes works, he's like one of those video game characters that gains some kind of charge from each of his terrible passes or mistakes and when he gets three of those he can make a three. Kind of like how you would charge mega man's gun.

 

[Blob]

When Ben drives to the basket he goes full speed with tunnel vision loses his balance and throws up garbage....Malachi has the presence of mind to bait the defender when he has the step advantage and draw the foul....simple fundamental basketball!!

 

[Blob]

Pretty good defense there by Malachi

 

[SLAB]

Malachi.

 

[dude12]

I like Malachi

 

[Blob]

Nice move!!

 

[SLAB]

Malachi passes the eye test. He looks like a basketball player, which is more than I can ever say of McBen.

 

[Larry89]

Ty Lawson...... for MVP???

 

[jcwkings]

Malachi with a nice drive and score over Drummond and then shows patience and control for rook to not jack up contested three and find Lawson open for a triple.

 

[Blob]

Watch and learn Ben

 

[Bricklayer]

we may at some point have to revisit the entire "Vlade can't draft" line if Willie and Malachi continue coming on, and with Skal and Bogdan possibly more promising in the wings.

 

[lawlman91]

Solid - adj. firm and stable in shape; not liquid or fluid. See Malachi Richardson

Eh, on that play, Richardson had tunnel vision. He had Willy wide open as soon as he drew Drummond over. Instead of passing it, he went up for a really difficult contested shot. That was a really really poor shot.

With that being said, his confidence is not a problem at all.

 

[jcwkings]

Watch and learn Ben

Between Temple, Malachi and Bogdanovic, I think Bens time as a King is drawing a close.

And you forgot about our very own PapaG, the REAL Greek Freak.

You are talking about a different play....thought I still disagree with you.

 

[lawlman91]

I keep telling people that you can tell the most about a player by the way s/he drives to the rim, more than anything else

 

[LA King Fan II]

Up 11. Drama starts. Forget the refs for once and just frigging play.

 

[206Fan]

You are talking about a different play....thought I still disagree with you.

Not talking about the last play where he drove to the rim and tried to go at 2 defenders? He's a rook though, he'll learn to pass lol

 

[SLAB]

Drummond took that right off the rim. It wasn't going in, but technically isn't that basket interferance?
