[Game] Kings @ Thunder - 3/18/17 - 12PT/3ET

[Kingsfan23]

Adams and Kanter are large dudes, and even gave some trouble to Cuz.

I reckon we can't be too hard on Trill and Skal because they're being bounced around.

Can WCS play the 5 full time though? In the future? He's a 4/5 tweener at this point. Skal will be at the 4

I know we're supposed to take heart for the future and embrace the idea that the kids are learning some valuable lessons (like the Thunder are really, really, really good), but this is painful to watch.

Great point that everyone needs to take into account. Every team does not have bigs like this.

 

[Kingz19]

Somebody get Reggie Evans on the phone

Maybe that's why Vlade grabbed Papa.

I hope. I just want one of them to be good. Papa has been better and only 19

 

[VF21]

Okay, things are looking a little better. I don't expect us to pull out a win but I do want to see competitive hunger...and so far, so good.

 

[VF21]

5 letters describes Willie today:

Boy. That's arguably the most annoying thing I've seen in a while.

 

[SLAB]

The fact that at only 19 Papa has already put the work in to lose a bunch of weight and improve by leaps since summer league says good things about his future.

 

[VF21]

Oh good. Temple isn't dead...

 

[Kingsfan23]

Garrett is such a good teammate

Seems I'm eating a lot of crow lately, but since my initial negative reactions towards him I've been watching more closely. He has good instincts...and he's not afraid to get in there with Kanter or Adams, two of the biggest beefy jerks in the league.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I am not unimpressed with Papa G. sure he is slow footed and out of his element out there, but he has the size and basic skill set to defend legit bigs. He is getting to the right places and doing the right things but often a half second too late. On the offensive end he is doing the things you expect of a center and again maybe a little slow or out of syn but the problem is not LEARNING or skills it is speed and timing.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Garrett is such a good teammate

He bruised poor KK's knee!

 

[SLAB]

The shot isn't falling, but George looks better every minute he's on the floor.

That last hook was totally in control, didn't look rushed, he got the shot he wanted... he couldn't have done that 3 games ago when he looked like a confused lost puppy on the offensive side.

 

[Blob]

9 rebounds in 15 minutes for Papa G ....take notes Stein!

 

[Blob]

Get that weak crap outta here!

 

[jcwkings]

Papa G showing some stuff and not backing down. He's the same age as the rookies we will draft in the summer.

 

[gunks]

Time for an overreaction Papa G thread?

I'm not watching the game, but the stats look good.

 

[Kingz19]

Papa G killin it

Time for an overreaction Papa G thread?

I'm not watching the game, but the stats look good.

He looks 100X's better than WCS does against OKC's huge big men.

 

[Tetsujin]

Willie actually really defended Kanter well on that last possession. Kanter tried bullying him down but WCS put up enough of an effort to not give him a clean look.

 

[SLAB]

Woah!

 

[Kingz19]

Good to see Skal salvaging what started off as a dud.

Lol Skalibrated. Oh Jerry

 

[Blob]

In your face Sabonis!

 

[Tetsujin]

In a move that'll probably make Vlade happy, Skal is completely outplaying Sabonis II

 

[Kingz19]

Papa G!

 

[Blob]

Galloway leaves Westbrook to help on Sabonis?

 

[Tetsujin]

Galloway leaves Westbrook to help on Sabonis?

He has to when the two bigs have been getting backed down all night.
