[Game] Kings @ Pistons, 11/15/21 4pm Pacific 7pm Eastern

[Tetsujin]

Dear lord Marvin, what was that? Don't hesitate like that. Tyrese fed you!

 

[HndsmCelt]

I'm a little surprised they didn't put it for sale sign on the back of Bagley's Jersey

 

[Tetsujin]

Maybe having CoJo mentor Cade isn't a good idea?

 

[SLAB]

Man, I can’t believe these jerks said no to Bey for Bagels.

Cade needs to go on a Fox diet and put on 20 pounds.

 

[Woot!]

Fair to say that Marvin dominated out there.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings purposely sucking after Marvin leaves the floor to boost his +/- numbers! Playing the long game!

My personal nickname for Marvin has always been “The Rudder” because he controls this ship.

hes gotten shook twice already and it’s not even half time. 20 lbs might shatter his ankles lol

 

[EIM86]

sac needs to learn how to tank like Detroit here. We could have easily done this last year

It's like a car you've let rust out in a field and taking it right straight into the showroom. The magic word is "patina". At least now when they cut him they can run the Pistons footage on repeat.

 

[SLAB]

Man, those pizzas are getting manhandled.

Detroit has a future. They drafted some solid role player types in Bey/Stewart. Landed Cade and next year, could maybe add a Holmgren maybe? There's a future there. They need to sell off on Grant though. He's peaked with them.

It’s really his only option. He doesn’t have quickness or speed. So he’d better get big and try to muscle opponents. Or dude is going to get his ankles broken 5 times a night.

 

[Tetsujin]

Why are we back to passively switching everything on defense? Did last season not teach us anything?

i would group Cade with Bey n Stewart. Like the Kings, they’re missing elite talent.

 

[SLAB]

Fox with a defensive masterclass that possession. Lmao

 

[Woot!]

Hard to overstate the weakness of Fox's off-ball D.

yah and we could have done the same thing with higher draft picks

They aren't trying to compete this year though so that will help. They made some peripheral value signings but they aren't putting 30 year old vets in front of their youth like bad teams do. I'm not super duper high on Cade either but they'll be gunning for another top pick and this upcoming draft looks like it might have a pretty solid top 4-5. Not very deep though.

 

[kb02]

Hali’s vision is nice

 

[SLAB]

Two tough jumpers for Fox.

 

[Das_Boot]

Anyone else hear the doubt in Kayte's voice when she asked I they'll be able to hold the lead?

 

[Woot!]

That's hilarious.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

George Blaha's been doing this for a while, to get Thompson and Metu confused. You'd think that, as many times as he's seen Thompson, as a Cav, he'd remember what dude looks like.

It’s too early to see the quality of the players this year. Only thing I’m certain of is I think UCLA wins it all. Juzang and Jacquez took a step this summer.

The Kings never bought in the way Detroit has. The Kings were busy signing George Hill, Zach Randolph, Dedmon, etc to be key win now pieces, not mentors. The Kings never going all in has always been the issue. Or only doing it for a short time period.

 

[Tetsujin]

Let Killian take as many shots as he wants lol

I’m gonna excuse myself while I go cry in the corner

As are his energy and attitude. We need more of that.

So much easier to take the mistakes when the player's bringing good attitude and effort.
