This is really happening. Really?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Welcome to the nba

 

[SacTownKid]

OK, now Brown needs to let Metu get some run some pick and roll here. Metu can score on Embiid.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

lol this is dumb.

 

[Sluggah]

Can‘t believe we’re only halfway through the first

 

[pdxKingsFan]

welcome to the NBA big fella.

 

[gunks]

Refsketball is so friggin lame

 

[pdxKingsFan]

wonder if this will be over before the show I'm going to tonight.

 

[Letsgokings13]

Hilarious how any Philly player has the audacity to complain about a call

 

[SacTownKid]

I like Metu taking that 3 but my goodness, he's such a bad defender. Soooo... bad.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

do the refs ever just get a phone call saying "stop it"?

 

[The_Jamal]

I like Metu taking that 3 but my goodness, he's such a bad defender. Soooo... bad.

He's a clear 5 on offense, but he's much better suited at the 4 on defense. I thought he was actually a pretty reasonable defender last year but my god he was so bad offensively.

So I dunno. Just a bit of an awkward player.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Man how can a big man get such soft calls? Now we are scared to touch him witch makes him basically ungardable

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

This isn’t even worth watching. I’d rather watch kids play at my local park. At least they don’t call fouls every time they breath on one another.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

9fts in one quarter? They say 16pts as if hes actually makiny baskets. Hes living at the line

 

[SacTownKid]

He's a clear 5 on offense, but he's much better suited at the 4 on defense. I thought he was actually a pretty reasonable defender last year but my god he was so bad offensively.

So I dunno. Just a bit of an awkward player.

I've been watching the Kings defensive breakdowns this year and I legit can't remember an opposing coach attacking a singular defender on the Kings to this level in years. Like Since Brad Miller. Offensively if Brown runs him in screen and roll he'll produce more than not.

 

[dude12]

Sizers are not a fun team to watch

 

[Letsgokings13]

Would love for our players to attack embiid and try to return the favor. Put him in bad spots. Make him foul us. Use that crap against him.

 

[dude12]

Fox gets trucked…no call…nba is a grand game

 

[Letsgokings13]

Holy crap we are seriously being screwed. Wow.

 

[KF8]

chill guys we're only down 7 considering how poorly we played

 

[SacTownKid]

My big fear right now is that Brown takes too long to see that playing Lyles/Metu together is an all or nothing affair. For a defensive coach it's crazy he's giving them time unless this is a showcase thing. It's horrible.

 

[SacTownKid]

It's about ease. When one team is playing easy and breaking you down the same ways, well, that tends to play well over time. Thank goodness Fox is back and the refs are clearly letting the Sixers rely on calls.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Just checking box score. I see Tobias Harris still owns us.

 

[Ozymandias]

Considering the devastation wrought by the favorite to win the MVP Embiid this quarter, could be a lot worse.

The Queta experiment --- actually I wont comment.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Haha Domas with the drag through hahaha

I'm really not sure why we keep going away from Okpala. He's very very flawed on offense, but we have the horses on offense to absorb him. I don't think he's played a bad defensive game yet either.

Trey Lyles really doesn't bring much. He's just a slower, significantly worse Harrison Barnes

 

[dude12]

Good zone D there

 

[Turgenev]

I'm at the office and can't, in good conscience, watch. But I checked the box score and Queta has 3 fouls in as many minutes and the thread says we are on the wrong end of it. So my Q: has he been unlucky or a little out of his depth?

Yeah, both Lyles and Metu are all based on offense yet he doesn't seem to be running much for them. Offensively they can be a plus.
