[Game] Kings @ Tampa Bay Raptors, 1/29/21, 4:30pm PST 7:30 pm EST

I ain’t watch the game, someone fill me in why raps fans so mad. What the refs do?

I'm not sure why they are mad. I'm still trying to figure out how that wasn't a flagrant foul committed against Whiteside.

Because it was a “non hostile action” of course.

 

[Larry89]

Hmm the raps fans just being salty in the kings comments thought it was some controversial foul call at the end or something lol

Awww man Lowry ejected for complaining to referees all game and Richaun gets fouled out for doing nothing... I guess the Raptors Fans were right "bad calls on both sides"... lol

Nevermind all the wind up hits Raptors were getting off on our players.

Good for Hassan having an edge and talking that crap, you don't get free hits in basketball on another player mind that when you're in the NBA

 

[SLAB]

Dude, Harrison Barnes looks like a child with a mask covering his goatee.

 

[SLAB]

Walk it off with a FLEX.

Why did Lowry get ejected? Looks like he just said something to Hali has he was walking by. On another note, he's one of the most annoying crybabies in the league. Right up there with our own DMC.

We have been told that contact with the head (especially with downward movement) is automatically a flagrant. My guess is that the league will review it and he will be fined for a flagrant.

He's lucky he got ejected late the way he talked to the ref about EVERY play.

It seemed every time someone got touched in the face it was a T or Flagrant for awhile. Maybe it just doesn’t apply to Hassan, who also got punched in the face by Melo earlier this year and it was a complete non-call.

To be fair, Watanabe had a very innocent face on him too. I'm sure that bought him some good grace with the refs...

Ya, for sure. The second they hit the floor he had the fear of god in his eyes and was begging off Hassan. Lmao

All I know is that he came down with both hands on Whiteside's head causing it to jerk backwards. Last season that would've be a flagrant 2.

 

[NewArena]

We have the Rookie of the year. No doubt in my mind! Also, it’s good to see Fox being so consistent this season. I see a huge difference in him

 

[Sluggah]

Have to fly to Miami for the 2nd of a back-to-back. Buddy played almost 40, HB over 37, 34 for Fox.

Rough.

Raptors are playing in Tampa Bay, so...that flight might not be a flight at all.

 

[kingdivac]

Who are these imposters who are playing so well, and how long are they staying? Kings can now faintly smell .500

 

[jcassio]

When’s the last time GRIII made a basket? (That’s a rhetorical question.)
I had high hopes for him this year but he’s trending in the wrong direction. Might be time to give Woodard some run.

It's a team that has had 5 days off, time to practice and the luck to be playing the East.

 

[ppine]

Three in a row. The Kings have proven they can beat mediocre teams and look good doing it.
They can beat better teams when they have hot shooting to cover up their mistakes.
Ask Whiteside if he thinks there is contact playing in the NBA.

 

[Albatros]

Compare Whitesides production in 20 mins Vs Bagley's in 20 minutes.

I don't know how Bagley keeps seeing the floor to be honest.

Full disclosure I only watched the first half of this game.

 

[ppine]

Bagley is the #2 pick that is supposed to save the franchise.
Whiteside is a role player with a small motor, good in short bursts.

You are right, we just need to keep playing these expiring contract vets and try and make the last playoff spot like we have been doing for the last 12 years.

Yup, don't bother developing young talent. More minutes for Hassan and CoJo please.

If I didn't know this was sarcasm I would be booing and hissing it.

 

[dude12]

What’s puzzling last night was at the end, Hassan was having trouble guarding Siakam in that small Toronto lineup....and it’s a tough matchup for Hassan but earlier in the game Bagley was having success or at least effective against Siakam.

Walton doesn't recognize that type of thing in real time. He has to go back and see the tape.

Honestly, I think Walton relies too much on his feelings and intuition during the game and ignores common sense..

You mean subbing in CoJo on crunch time defensive set plays despite him being one of the team's worst defenders on the year isn't common sense?

In his gut, Walton knows CoJo can turn it around when they need it most.

The Negativity Cesspool also known as Kingsfans.com all liquidy and sewagey just how we like it.

Talent being the operative word.

 

[Livinthedream]

If a player was drafted into the NBA, they have NBA level talent.

Both the team and player have to work to maximize that talent. One working on it without the other makes the task of maximizing it extremely difficult.

How the average fan feels about a player is irrelevant on whether he deserves to be developed.
