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

The aggressive switch is working. They're also giving up the driving lane and yes, it's working much better. This is closer to how they have to defend from the start of games if they want to make it in.

 

[Tetsujin]

Man, Spurs getting continuation on everything.

 

[Woot!]

Kings 10-31 from 3 and a LOT of those misses were wide open.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Where is Holmes?

Man, Spurs getting continuation on everything.

Fits into Pop's slow-down-the-game-and-win-with-free-throws strategy perfectly.

 

[SLAB]

I’ve been in and out for this game but everything I’ve seen of Metu tonight is making me miss Whiteside.

 

[KainLear]

Richaun!

 

[DynaPamm]

I'm pretty sure that foul on the three wasn't actually a foul. On the replay it looked like Rudy stuck his leg out to initiate the contact, but I only saw it once so maybe I missed something.

I re ran it three times and Rudy wasn’t fouled , at least I clearly didn’t see it but of course we’re not getting any breaks or calls for that matter

 

[iowamcnabb]

Let’s either get back in this or get blown out so we can see Woodard

 

[Tetsujin]

Holmes great rebounding numbers hide the fact he is horrible at boxing out

 

[KainLear]

I’ve been in and out for this game but everything I’ve seen of Metu tonight is making me miss Whiteside.

I feel completely the opposite. Metu's speed and agility, even with all his minuses, fits so much better for this team. Once he gets better and the team gets better playing with him.

 

[Tetsujin]

****ing challenge that Luke

 

[DynaPamm]

Well Moe just got screwed he had all ball he was right....

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Just not good enough shooting

 

[Tetsujin]

Richaun getting roasted on the boards

 

[Iced Espresso]

LOL that Haliburton layup. Well we finally caught a break on something.

 

[Tetsujin]

Luke challenging that but not challenging the obvious jump ball that got called a foul is peak Luke

Richaun getting roasted on the boards

Feels like the last 5 times down the court the Spurs got an offensive board.

I wish I can agree with you more.

 

[Woot!]

Kings down 15 w/under 7 left in the 4th against a solid team playing hard ... and a lot of us think they just might have one more run in 'em.

Come what may, that's pretty sweet.

What a difference a couple weeks of winning make!

 

[DynaPamm]

Does pop in a mask remind anyone else of sensei David Carradine?

Hahaha you’re absolutely right! Good call

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Poetl and Eubanks - show me more annoying center duo in the league.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Why is he wasting his challenge on this?

 

[hrdboild]

The gamesmanship on display here by SA is just off the charts. They're playing this officiating crew like a concert violin.

 

[SacTownKid]

Might not be enough clock but this is the method here. Play up on the switch in quarter 1 and they don't hit 3 after 3 unless they're earning it. Also, the refs at some point have to allow the Kings to do something to negate the strength advantage. If the Kings are throwing any Spur around it's a flop guys. There isn't a single matchup for the Kings where they aren't giving up 15 pounds at least.

 

[Woot!]

He mosdef needs to learn to play smarter. But speed, agility, aggressiveness, his shooting stroke - a lot of ability to work with there.

I agree. This winning streak feels concrete. Even having to incorporate the new guys into the system, they have been playing well together. Kudos to Luke for this.

I think that means we are potentially getting close to getting rid of Luke Walton for someone who not just there to manage charisma but actually strategize for winning basketball.

 

[DynaPamm]

Wow **** these refs

REFS YOU SUCK

 

[Tetsujin]

Richaun getting manhandled by a couple of juggalos

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Screw this freaking Eubanks guy
