[Game] Kings @ Rockets, 12/31/2020 4PM PST, 7PM EST

Yep, just like the other game. Walton is falling right in to the trap. Trying to force the middle with a packed paint. Again, if you are going to try and play old school Joerger ball then run high middle pnr. Seriously what the heck.

 

[kb02]

Buddy has two turnovers. Really should have a few more.

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

It seems like Fox is 0 for the season on pull-up mid range jumpers

it just seems like, because he hit one for his first bucket this game.

 

[SacTownKid]

What is this absolute garbage I am watching??? Giving the ball away every other possession???

No spacing. It's almost like teams a lulling them in the first half of games before they lock the paint down. Fox, Bagley, and Holmes is something teams aren't going to respect from outside.

 

[Kingz19]

Wood only averages 17 against the Kings? Feels like he drops 20+ on us each time

 

[Noble]

Judging by the comments, kind of glad I'm stuck at work only watching play by play.

 

[SLAB]

Feels like they’re down by 20.

 

[krylia sovetov]

fox,bagley, hield... horror

 

[Kingz19]

Right on cue, Fox hits a pull up

 

[SacTownKid]

And right on the money, high middle pick and roll equals POINTS. The Rockets are playing up on it so even on a miss you can get the putback.

 

[SLAB]

Can we stick Whiteside on Wood yet?

 

[Sluggah]

Judging by the comments, kind of glad I'm stuck at work only watching play by play.

It’s not that bad. It rarely is

 

[kb02]

I like the adjustment. Going inside and taking advantage of Houston's switch.

 

[Tetsujin]

don’t know why teams kept sticking their worst defenders on Barnes. He’ll eat them alive with regularity.

 

[kb02]

Why is Bags rushing against Harden, who is a ghost on defense?

 

[SLAB]

Our man couldn’t even post James Harden. Why would they even consider going to him against Wood.

 

[Kingz19]

Again, Bags had Harden pinned and rushed it like James would stuff it.

He’s playing with no confidence In This game. Maybe next one, time for Whiteside

 

[Tetsujin]

Luke loves playing a Buddy and CoJo together

 

[kb02]

Haliburton time. Bags is making a lot of dumb mistakes. Catch the ball.

 

[Sluggah]

Bags getting all his missed gimmies for the season out of the way in this one game.

 

[Tetsujin]

Marvin even missed the after whistle putback dunk

 

[O0chieboomboom]

Trade bagley for wood

 

[Tetsujin]

Bags getting all his missed gimmies for the season out of the way in this one game.

Really feels like everyone not named Buddy is having a bad shooting night

 

[kb02]

Marvin even missed the after whistle putback dunk

His clock is off. Trying to play faster than he needs to. It's better than first game when he kangerood the entire game, but still...

 

[SacTownKid]

Thank goodness for Barnes because he can do it but why is their first instinct to revert back to an old school pound it down low team? This isn't the identity they need to be forming here.

 

[SLAB]

Okay. Can we sit Bagley now?

 

[kb02]

TAKE BAGLEY OUT.

 

[Krunker]

Yeah bags is trying too hard to take over

 

[SacTownKid]

Okay. Can we sit Bagley now?

Play him at center in the high middle pick and roll. Force the Rockets to guard him outside of a freaking 3 foot box.

 

[kb02]

Okay. Can we sit Bagley now?

He's getting beatdown physically by dudes who are 6'4. That's shameful.
