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

[Iced Espresso]

Davis definitely isn't shy.

 

[Tetsujin]

This bench defense is something I could get used to.

 

[iowamcnabb]

It’s correct.

not to get off track but what letters or combination form the r sound if I may ask?

 

[Tetsujin]

Only down by four despite Murray and Poeltl playing like Kobe and Shaq.

 

[km23]

Having these new players come off the bench is fun. Im excited for what's to come

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

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

Oh boy, there is a lot of pronunciations in German which seems odd. Back when I was learning German in school a lot of them made no sense haha

 

[Tetsujin]

Our bench is.... good?

 

[Kingz19]

I like our new guys

 

[Tetsujin]

Davis is fun

 

[Tetsujin]

Metu revenge game!!!

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Moe Harkless hitting shots, Davis and Wright playing great defense, so good to see.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Metu is becoming my favorite non core player

 

[SacTownKid]

Metu showing Pop what he's been missing, haha.

 

[Tetsujin]

Davis has got a bit of young Buddy style non-stop aggression on offense to his game.

 

[Kingz19]

Davis certainly isn’t bashful but very active on defense. As is Wright and Harkless

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Metu is becoming my favorite non core player

His shot has a lot of touch on it. Dude has potential to stick

 

[Tetsujin]

Delon with three assists.

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

I like the new guys. They are gamers.

 

[SLAB]

I changed the channel for a minute and Harkless has 8 points?!

Goat

Goat

Change the channel every 5 minutes please

 

[Woot!]

Metu is becoming my favorite non core player

Metu has serious potential. He's a little trigger happy. Actually reminds me of Bagley in that regard. But looks danged good.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

There's Holmes protecting the rim again, as a "non rim protector"

 

[Tetsujin]

There's Holmes protecting the rim again, as a "non rim protector"

the rim protection is nice but I would rather he not get abised by Poeltl every other possession.

 

[SacTownKid]

The Kings should have played tight and switched on that pick and roll from the start. Now Murray can't miss off of it in the mid range.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Hali back Burton woo woo!

 

[Tetsujin]

Tyrese suddenly feeling it.

Now up to 5pts, 4 asts

 

[SacTownKid]

the rim protection is nice but I would rather he not get abised by Poeltl every other possession.

Part of it is the help defense. The Kings aren't pressuring on switch and are instead playing off which they are giving up shots over and positioning under all game.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

the rim protection is nice but I would rather he not get abised by Poeltl every other possession.

I've never seen a guy get so many blocks, who "doesn't really protect the rim"

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

All these new guards can actually play. I'm not going to say anything else but we know what I would say if I was going to say something.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Kings should have played tight and switched on that pick and roll from the start. Now Murray can't miss off of it in the mid range.

It’s odd because now that they have the personnel for switching on D, they’re sticking with man defense for some reason.
