[Game] Kings @ Thunder - Saturday, Feb. 23 - 5PT/8ET

[SLAB]

Foul called after the basket was missed

“What a good call that was!”

 

[Kingsfan23]

Westbrook is having a layup line.. Fox needs to do a bit better, but no interior

 

[VF21]

I love DeAaron Fox. I just wish with all my heart he and the other Kings would NOT argue with the officials.

 

[SLAB]

I hate Russell Westbrooks game, and no amount of gushing will make me change my mind Grant and Doug.

 

[Tetsujin]

Grant loving Russ but hating Boogie is one of the Grant-iest things in the NBA.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Marvin Bagley is good at playing the sport of basketball.

 

[SLAB]

I love DeAaron Fox. I just wish with all my heart he and the other Kings would NOT argue with the officials.

The officials do him dirty nightly. I’m surprised he doesn’t argue more.

 

[TaxMan]

Marvin. Love that tip.

 

[VF21]

63-49 Kings at the half? Yeah, I can live with that.

 

[Ozymandias]

Marvin is killing it... This is a showstopper type performance.

 

[TaxMan]

Now willie decides to shoot

 

[VF21]

The officials do him dirty nightly. I’m surprised he doesn’t argue more.

His arguing is not going to get them to treat him any more kindly.

 

[Sactown ExPat]

Barnes just makes the defense so much better. Such a smart player.

 

[Tetsujin]

So is Bjeli in coach's doghouse or what?

(Said as Bagley and Harry continue to look like future all-stars upon taking his minutes.)

 

[Kings_of_California]

Willie has 8 boards and Adams hasn't done much so imma just lay off.

 

[TaxMan]

63-49 Kings at the half? Yeah, I can live with that.

I’ve poo-pooed people on this board making ever game life or death, but this is a second half we absolutely need to win against a tired thunder team.

10 game philosophy in favor of Barnes would be my guess. Barnes is the better player.

I love his d on the SF matchup.

I don't see the Thunder coming out with any renewed energy unless they've got gallons of Red Bull in the locker room.

(Said as Bagley and Harry continue to look like future all-stars upon taking his minutes.)

"Is Bjelica in Joerger's doghouse?"

*Sees Bagley and Giles tearing up the stats"

"Nope"

 

[TaxMan]

We are going 9 deep with Marvin getting big minutes off the bench. I just don’t think there is much room for him right now....at least under Coach gets a handle on how to best use Barnes.

By the way, Barnes is shooting like crap, but this is absolutely the good/GS Warriors role player we want to see, not the ISO heavy Dallas version.

Barnes has kicked our defense up to a consistent playoff level.

Once he gets more comfortable in our system, watch out.

 

[Amiga]

If we can push the pace like we did in the first half we should be able to close this game out. They look extremely sloppy due to tiredness.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Lakers are Kangzing hard right.

 

[TaxMan]

While I wish Fox was playing a little better, I love how this team seems much less dependent on him than we were earlier in the year. I think that’s the effect of Marvin’s emergence as a bona fine number one option on offense.

 

[Tetsujin]

And to think that people thought the Lakers had a better young core than the Kings at the start of the season.

 

[Kings_of_California]

The Lakers are Kangzing hard right.

Jesus they just Kangzed to the Pelicans of all teams? AD isn't even playing.

 

[VF21]

Lakers losing to Pels without AD? Works for me.

 

[SLAB]

Glad that went in... but I don’t like this start

 

[Kings_of_California]

How embarrassing is it for LA to lose to NO after NO declined the trade for their entire roster lmao
