[Game] Kings @ Spurs, 3/29/21 5:30pm PST, 8:30pm EST

[Tetsujin]

Kings. Spurs. A potential playoff slot on the line! De'Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton versus the mighty Derrick White/Dejounte Murray backcourt! Harrison Barnes versus Demar Derozan! Jakob Poetl manning the middle! All headlined by a clash of coaching titans: Gregg Popovich versus Luke Theodore Walton!


That's right, folks! It's ill-advised hype train time, baby!!!

In looking at those standings, Phoenix is having one heck of a season. I certainly didn't see that kind of record coming.

and if everything fell into place for the Kings....going up against Utah would be interesting in a potential first round matchup. Playoffs?....Playoffs!!?

 

[EIM86]

Man we really need to win these next two against the Spurs if possible!

 

[Kingz19]

My attitude towards this latest tease.

I’ve been hurt too many times

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

De'Aaron player of the week baby!!!

Let's go, let's get this win tonight.

I think we were just here in the bubble and got crushed. We shall see if this time is different.

 

[BigVirg]

I'll need to see these next 2 games against the Spurs before I get excited. Sweep and we are going streaking!

They should consider tonight as the start of the "play-in" season. The roster is set, now lay it all on the table

 

[gunks]

Been too apathetic to really catch games lately, and I’ve missed some damn action!

Tuning in to the Fox show tonight.

 

[chief bromden]

I'm all aboard the hype train ready to be taken right back to the Kangz trolley problem of tank vs chasing the 10th seed

 

[The_Jamal]

Absolutely have to get at least 1 in these next 2 games, but a sweep would certainly be huge for this teams confidence going forward.

yeah Phoenix had a strong bubble performance and they carried it right over to the regular season with CP3 and Crowder providing winning experience and vet presence for Booker, Ayton and Bridges.

Just looked it up, Barnes 6th in the NBA for mpg

Not quite Rodney McCray.

 

[Sluggah]

Pop’s quarantine hair got him looking like the Tall Man from Phantasm

 

[Tetsujin]

Richaun keeps being caught in switches like he’s Hassan.

 

[SLAB]

Jakob is killing Rashaun.

 

[Tetsujin]

Richaun unfortunately missed the flight to San Antonio.

 

[Iced Espresso]

WTH?

Poeltl looking like Shaq

 

[Woot!]

Again I ask: Is the 3-second call even a thing any more?

 

[Iced Espresso]

We are shooting 60%, 80% from 3....have zero turnovers and behind....

 

[Woot!]

Just looked it up, Barnes 6th in the NBA for mpg

Not quite Rodney McCray.

And fewest shots/game of the top 43 in min/game.

 

[SLAB]

Probably just improved (for now) taking Holmes out. Hopefully he wakes up while he’s over on the bench.

 

[SLAB]

Put in Silva.

 

[Tetsujin]

poetl gunning for the TDM

 

[Sluggah]

Fox in foul trouble is going to be a big problem. Just need to stay within striking distance this half.

 

[iowamcnabb]

I’m not familiar with German pronunciations but purtle seems like an odd way to pronounce Poeltl

Wow. Luke brought him back already. Risky.

 

[Sluggah]

It’s correct.

 

[Tetsujin]

Rudy Gay getting cooked on defense like he’s Nemanja Bjelica

 

[iowamcnabb]

It’s correct.

I’m not suggesting it isn’t, it just seems odd.
