KingsFans.com: Now’s the chance to tank and, darn it, Luke, you’re the one to lead us to the pick that was promised.

Luke Walton: “You got it guys!”

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I was going to bump this to remind people that the game was ACTUALLY GOING RIGHT NOW, but...then I saw the score. I'm back to the NCAA Tourney.

 

[Reverend]

Yeah not much to see here. Buddy with the predictable play

 

[Krunker]

Kings might be wanting to get back to NCAA games too

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I saw the score and checked out. But Kathryn Hahn cheers me up.

 

[SacTownKid]

When Cory Joseph looks like the only one with a charged battery you're in trouble, haha.

 

[SLAB]

Neat start. I’ll take it though. Push us to sell / tank. Lol

 

[SacTownKid]

Walton, Walton, Walton. Has them switch but plays big with Whiteside and Bjelica? Dude, there is a D2 program calling your name.

 

[Tetsujin]

Play Robert Woodard

 

[Reverend]

Cojo really being a model vet teaching our young guys to foul 3 pt shooters

 

[SacTownKid]

Play Robert Woodard

This is clearly a game with a fresh team, and a tired team. Why not try it out right? Wrong. This is Luke Walton, switching with Whiteside and Bjelica and watching the opponents lead double immediately.

 

[SLAB]

Play Robert Woodard

Lol that’s funny.

Good thing Bagley is out, or the defense would be bad.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

It's crazy in a game like basketball where you have fully open substitutions we have Luke Walton who is running it like a soccer team where you get 3 subs the whole game. I just pray we escape the season without an injury caused by overuse.

It’s incredible to me how he gets blamed for all our defensive decencies while we’ve got Corey Fn Joseph playing 30 games a night for us

(Knock on wood) if Halliburton or Fox suffer any injuries this is 1000% on Vivek for being too cheap to hire a new head coach

 

[SLAB]

The commentators talking about how jacked Dwight Howard is reminds me of an all-timer from good Ol’ JR.

JR; “Oh, I’d take steroids if I could look like that.”

Grant, with the sound of wrath in his voice; “NO YOU WOULDNT.”

 

[Folsomkingsfan]

Halliburton has looked less comfortable in the offense since coming back.

 

[SacTownKid]

Halliburton has looked less comfortable in the offense since coming back.

He's kind of starting to get that role that Bogdan had. Not many chances to run the offense and it's cutting off a lot of his game. Walton has been pretty good about staggering he and Fox so he can get his but in this game his affinity for playing two of the most unathletic bigs in the league together threw off his pattern.

 

[SLAB]

“PUT HIM IN THE FRIEND ZONE WITH THE BLOCK.”

Lol

If I were in Monte's shoes I would have rolled with Luke all season too. Not sure it's about cheap as much as setting the next coach up for success by getting one more decent draft pick while developing young talent. I actually thought this team was going to be worse than it is. I blame Walton for misusing the lineup and failing to develop the younger players but I really thought this team was built to net us a top 5 pick.

 

[Sluggah]

Just realized we’re getting stopped sans curry, embiid, AND simmons. yeesh.

 

[SLAB]

I love Hassan. I wish he was 5 years younger.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

“PUT HIM IN THE FRIEND ZONE WITH THE BLOCK.”

Lol

uhhhh, who said that?

 

[SLAB]

uhhhh, who said that?

Mark after Hassan’s last block.

 

[SLAB]

The Sixers are getting a look at Hot Buddy tonight. Send your offers over at half plz.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Mark after Hassan’s last block.

It's not the first time he's used it, either! I thought it was Draper for a second, but I ran the voice back through my head and it was Mark.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Mark after Hassan’s last block.

that's painful.

 

[Livinthedream]

Just realized we’re getting stopped sans curry, embiid, AND simmons. yeesh.

Kings don't play well against big physical teams.

 

[Tetsujin]

At least we can revel in Dwight being stupid
