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

[kb02]

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.

More respect for Hinkie, who truly took the long road rather than the save my job road.

 

[SLAB]

It’s so nice seeing Hali round back into proper form.

 

[EIM86]

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.

we need a psycho with Draymond-like attitude in this team. Davions a dog but not psychotic

 

[Tetsujin]

Passing on Tyrese to get Killian is not great GMing.

A Cade/Tyrese backcourt would have been awesome.

 

[kb02]

The ball is in Hali’s hands at the end of a period. As it should be.

 

[SLAB]

Ohhhhhhh Hali!

 

[TaxMan]

It would be Kangz extreme if this team came out flat to start the third and blew a 24 point halftime lead with their coach's neck on the line.

 

[SLAB]

Now to watch the Niners get slaughtered in hopefully Jim’s swan song as a starter.

 

[Woot!]

Well... beating up a bad team not playing well. But, hey, up 24.

Playing for their coach?

 

[kb02]

Cade has a decent stat line. If I wasn’t watching the game, would think he’s killing it.

It's early but the MO for this team is pretty simple. The best offense is just launching from distance.

Yea, I’m switching over in a bit.

Unfortunately, this win will buy Luke time. Of course I want the team to win, but it's just delaying the inevitable and wasting the season to keep him around.

 

[Woot!]

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

Cuz some of the guys are too lazy to play it any other way? Like any old pickup game. "Uhh... YOURS!"

 

[Tetsujin]

Yep. Any play that isn't a variation of a Fox/Haliburton/Davion drive (end result shot can vary of course) just isn't worth it for this team to run right now.

Kings probably need to play the Pistons to improve their morale....a loss up 24 pts at half would be fairly surprising how bad the Pistons have looked, but not impossible the way the Kings have been playing.. Pistons have more or less yielded the game in the 1st quarter - all the Kings have to do now is continue to match baskets. Bagley sighting is pleasant although his play was unremarkable.

 

[EIM86]

Fox definitely has been better offensively past 6 games or so. Not seeing supernova speed though. Needs to lose weight

It's happening so often that it's got to be systemic though.

Bagley must’ve watched a ton of Robert Horry film in the off-season.

If the Kings somehow came out losing this game just forget the whole season. Firing, no firing, it ain't gonna matter, haha.

He lost his burst for sure.

And one thing about Luke, if he thinks you aren't giving effort he'll gladly find someone who will. He'll put the waterboy in if need be.

 

[SLAB]

This man knows his way around a chair.

Hahahaha.

 

[kb02]

Switching over to the niners. Kings better not kangz in the 2h.

 

[kingdivac]

common 2 on 1 break - puleaase

 

[SacTownKid]

The Pistons don't have the experience to get back into the game. They did change up their defense to start pressuring Haliburton and in the halfcourt they've pretty much taken him out of the game. In games like this, it's where you have to start swinging your O back to Fox.

 

[Woot!]

Pistons going at Fox a lot.

 

[Tetsujin]

Ouch Davion

 

[dude12]

That hurt Davion
