Wtf is going on

 

[Livinthedream]

Bagley handling the ball 30 ft from the basketball is far from ideal.

Yeah. I wonder what the team is working on there. Obviously spreading the floor in some fashion, but there is no off ball movement.

 

[NME]

I hope the coach has something in this TO to arrest the patented end of half meltdown.

 

[Hoovtrain]

This is maddening!

 

[PurpleHaze]

Harry misses two little bunnies - ouch! But at least gets to line to make one of two.

 

[Livinthedream]

Harry and Marvin like playing together.

 

[Ozymandias]

Great Oreb by Harry there..


This is a sign of things to come.

I thought Siakam out played Bagley in the first matchup but Marvin looks excellent right now..

 

[Hoovtrain]

How can one team have such a hard time converting point blank shots

 

[gunks]

Yogi with the clutch floor dive!

 

[Ozymandias]

Nice block by Harry. That was a reckless drive by Delon Wright good thing it was cleaned up.

 

[NME]

Why is Marvin making entry passes into Giles instead of vice-versa?

This is one of my favorite things about watching Marvin's rookie year... Coast to Coast

Thats how it's gonna be. U want Marvin facing up because he has this crazy 1st step for 6'11 big.

 

[Tetsujin]

Nice block by Harry to end the half.

 

[SomebodyDoSomethin]

Hield throwing up a 3 always makes me cringe yet he makes them. Giles playing super solid glad he's getting minutes.

 

[Ozymandias]

Sweeet Harry blocked Ibaka's 3 at the end of the half.

All things considered, we're in good shape. I'll take this.

 

[gunks]

Well, Kings are way closer than I thought they would end up after the 1st half!

Time for the dreaded 3rd quarter though. ..

Opposite of where their skill sets are currently.

 

[1234kings]

Liking Giles more and more! Always hustlin.

This. Harry being the one in the post opens up lanes for cutters (something that I think Marvin will eventually be great at as a big).

 

[PurpleHaze]

Start Bogi instead of Yogi 2nd half. I can't believe the slick Serbians handles - some of best I've ever seen. Plus his shooting of late torrid. As far as who at SF - rotate Harry and JJ and whoever.

 

[jcwkings]

If the Kings can play Bogi, Buddy and Bagley the entire second half they MIGHT have a chance. Hard to see a win here.

It's not like one's gonna hold down low and one's gonna stay high for a full 24 seconds too. They can switch it up quickly, this is one of the things the Kings trade off sometimes vs stronger matchups.

 

[SLAB]

Loved the minutes from Giles. Didn’t do anything overly special, but was just solid.

You know he flashes the special ability, it’s nice to see him doing the little things between those flashes.

 

[Ozymandias]

Van Vleet is really the biggest issue right now for the Kings. If they can somehow slow him down that'd be like cuttign off the head of the snake, Kings chances of winning this game would go up drastically... Delon Wright isn't nearly as good as Van Vleet.

Cool in theory, but I see Marvin struggling to make a clean entry pass and nobody respects his outside shot. He's already a threat in the post though.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yogi roughly on pace for a random triple double.

Motion is the key. If everyones standing around yes what ur talking about could be an issue. BUT we really can't say that for sure, we haven't seen enough of him IMO. The way he's being positioned here is not how he was positioned in college or any of his amateur career, thats for sure.

The NBA has a lot of strange things going at the 4 spot,. u see Michael Kidd Gilchrist and Rondae Hollis Jefferson and Stanley Johnson at the 4, and those types of players MArvin has a much better chance of creating offense against than Harry from a faceup.

So Marvin's going to be a 3? I mean....he could use that quickness around the basket just as effectively.

I'd say his position is;
