[Game] Kings @ Spurs, 3/31/2021, 5:30 pm PST, 8:30pm EST

[SacTownKid]

At some point an offensive foul is an offensive foul. The Spurs are pushing off on every shot.

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Fox worst half since i don't know when.

 

[iowamcnabb]

This is the type of game you hope to just hang around and steal it at the end

 

[SacTownKid]

You've been checked Luke. Now this becomes a coaching battle.

 

[Tetsujin]

Spurs starting backcourt outscoring Fox/Buddy 21-4

 

[The_Jamal]

Not much to say really. Holmes getting no calls, getting mugged under the basket. And Fox/Buddy are combined 0-12 shooting with 4 turnovers. We just aren't going to win if they're playing this badly.

 

[Woot!]

Buddy and DFox a combined 0-12 w/0 boards and 4 turns.

Spurs starting backcourt outscoring Fox/Buddy 21-4

The Spurs defense is focused entirely on those two. They have to keep finding the open shooters. They are leaving Haliburton every time so him getting more spot looks is a must.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings currently shooting 28% from three

 

[The_Jamal]

Someone's gotta come to play with Holmes. Dude is working his ass off on both ends and doesn't seem like anyone else is playing with near the same energy

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Think I may add Poeltl to my all NBA annoying list.

they need to hack him at the rim. The guy shoots 38% at the line!

 

[Iced Espresso]

They are playing bad, but not sure how I think taking both Buddy & Fox off the floor.

 

[Tetsujin]

Poeltl with the Zaza

 

[Tetsujin]

Wow **** these refs

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Fox gotta wake up in the 2nd half.

 

[The_Jamal]

They are playing bad, but not sure how I think taking both Buddy & Fox off the floor.

Fine with it. Both dudes playing absolutely atrocious and are the reason we're getting smacked. Unacceptable anymore for them to be playing this badly.

 

[Iced Espresso]

If we do make a solid comeback, going to "predict" it will be our bench, and Rudy's earlier success leading to hero Rudy ball. Maybe we can go on a 10-0 run or something.

 

[Woot!]

Spurs w/18 assts to 3 TO's. 6:1.

Last half of the second was just U.G.L.Y.

 

[SacTownKid]

I'm interested to see the adjustments in the 2nd half.

 

[Sluggah]

Good one.

 

[luckytkp]

Spurs is getting whatever they want.

 

[Tetsujin]

Tyrese suddenly refusing to pass De’Aaron the ball despite him behind wide open is a bad development.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

The Spurs may just be too hot tonight. We'll see in the next 6 minutes or so

 

[SLAB]

Crash back to reality? It’s been fun, but without DeFo going supernova like his two stretches this season we’re still probably not winning many games.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Double whammy, can't hit a shot & it allows them to run and get EZ looks.

 

[iowamcnabb]

 

[SacTownKid]

Well, little adjustment so far. Still playing off on the switch and giving up face up jumpers, now mostly in the midrange. This is a concern because if they don't commit to pressuring what do you think is going to happen when they face a team like the Clippers? Kawhi and PG13 are going to tree top you the whole game.

 

[Tetsujin]

I mean De’Aaron is starting to get going but the Spurs are currently shooting like a team full of Kobes

 

[TaxMan]

Not going to overreact. Hopefully just a bad game where we got schooled by Pop. See how they come out in the next.

Haha, we'll see but this is called a GREAT coach in Greg Popovich saying I don't really like that for dinner but thank you very much I'll have some more. The issue with this team getting to where they can potentially is all schematic at this point. Bad or off games will happen but there are underlying issues when playing 3 guard small ball.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I'm thinking tonight is not going to be our night.
