[Game] Kings @ Thunder - Monday, Jan. 15 - ***5 PM*** PT

[VF21]

Dang it. I missed it. Which Thunder player isn't playing tonight?

 

[VF21]

I'm a little surprised at the relatively low-key cheering by the OKC fans. I thought they fancied themselves the loudest fans in the NBA?

Roberson

Skal might get lost a lot on defense, but one thing he really does well is he almost always gets a hand up to contest shots. Good trait to have with his length

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Adams basically picked Skal up and moved him out of the box out there. Not a foul if you're on OKC.

 

[YoungBlood]

We're sure not getting the calls so far

 

[Capt. Factorial]

ANOTHER offensive foul on Adams. Terrible.

 

[YoungBlood]

Missed offensive foul by Adams

 

[dude12]

Kings holding their own so far

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Adams moving screen on Temple. I count at least four fouls uncalled on Adams. If I were Joerger I'd have a tech by now.

 

[Kingz19]

*sigh*

Skal

 

[VF21]

I always forget about how much the officials favor Adams - until we play them. I cannot believe he gets so much love.

 

[dude12]

Geebus, Adams is going to park himself 2 feet from the rim every time. Need to keep him out of there somehow.

 

[VF21]

Ironically, I think Lauren Holtkamp is one of the few who doesn't seem impressed by Adams...at all.

 

[dude12]

I'd love to see Papa on Adams and just screen and block out on the guy and get physical with him....he has 6 fouls to give.

 

[Kingz19]

I remember Papa G played pretty well against OKC last year when Skal and Willie were getting punked by Adams.

Coach should put him in

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

is there a mic next to the baskets in arena? Damn it, that sound after it hits the iron is annoying tbh I want to mute the game because of it.

 

[dude12]

Wrong thread for this but George Hill could fit into the OKC lineup like a glove.

 

[dude12]

Some early run for JJ

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Finally got him.

 

[VF21]

Wow. Nice defense!!!

 

[dude12]

Justin Jackson has to make those open shots....not good enough on defense to stay out there if he doesn't make shots.

 

[VF21]

Okay, I'll take that for the first quarter. At least they look alive.

And I'll be honest. If we do not see Z-Bo at all this game I will not shed a tear. It's time for him to get some rest. This far into the season, I have no problem at all with Joerger starting to shift the focus to the kids - which is all I've been advocating since October.

 

[jcwkings]

You can see how much better the defense can potentially be if we aren't gimped by Zbo and teams pretty much targeting him every time down the floor.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

And I'll be honest. If we do not see Z-Bo at all this game I will not shed a tear. It's time for him to get some rest.

It's time for us to respect Z-Bo's long and illustrious career in the league and trade him to a contender.

 

[VF21]

I'll take a shot clock violation on OKC.

Go Kings!

 

[VF21]

WTF? Patterson takes steps AND draws a foul? Good to see the officials spreading the love.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Skal with the nice tapout. I like what I'm seeing from Skal this half - and I like that he's gotten a second stint.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Skal spun in the lane before he had contact with the defender, which kind of defeats the purpose.

 

[YoungBlood]

George Hill is passing terribly
