[Game] Kings @ Timberwolves - Sunday, Feb. 11 - 4 PT

[The_Jamal]

Fox is just ridiculous in transition. Just impossible to stay in front or not foul him.

Fox working on a 50 point night

Is Cabocolo active for this game?

2 years away from 2 years away.

 

[Sluggah]

I want this Fox at all times. Even if he’s missing the shots or not getting the foul calls.

Weird thing of the day:

Neighbor's dog starts barking, fairly aggressively. I look outside and there, walking down the middle of the freaking road, is THE BEAR. Strolling along like he hasn't a care in the world. And, for the record? He's about the size of a freaking Volkswagen. I turn to grab my camera, turn back and ... POOF! He's gone.

Just another story from deep in the forest.

 

[VF21]

2 years away from 2 years away.

His name is Caboclo. I just call him Bruno, cause I have no idea how his name should be pronounced. To get back to your question, I haven't seen him mentioned on Twitter.

EDIT: Found this from Kayte re Bruno -

He is not, likely won’t be in uniform until after the All-Star break

I don't think Jeff Teague is scoring 50 on Fox's watch tonight

 

[Mrkipro]

Defense! Defense!

 

[The_Jamal]

Defensive pressure if freaking awesome tonight. Jakkar doing great staying in front of Bjelica and just team wide doing well at not giving good lanes to the rim.

The Kings brought both Jack Cooley and JaKarr Sampson on the road trip with them. Two-way players coming in handy.

So he's one week away from two days away?

Justin Jackson looks like a completely different player than we saw in November. Prime example of how you can’t assess rookies a month into the season. #SacramentoProud

 

[VF21]

Wow. Nice move by Bogs, who has seemed just a tad hesitant IMHO, passing up some good looks in favor of dishing to his teammates or getting in closer. I want to see him be a bit more aggressive and get to the line. It would be a definite plus to his arsenal.

 

[HndsmCelt]

...sigh... Watching Z-Bo is like watching molasses go uphill in the middle of winter.

When I watch Z-Bo I think glacier. He will crush you but just no hard to out run

 

[Kingster]

Fox is just ridiculous in transition. Just impossible to stay in front or not foul him.

I find myself laughing out loud when he passes defenders like Usain Bolt.

 

[Kingster]

Joerger was pretty funny at the end of the half: "What the F____ are we doing? What the F___ are we doing?"

He was probably miffed that his point guard of the future nearly got taken out by his own teammate.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

I haven't complained about Coach Joerger much, but he sure does know how to thwart his players momentum.

FOX was rolling that 1st quarter yet sits almost the entire 2nd quarter. He didn't come back until around 3:30 remaining. That's not good enough, coach. Considering how well as he was playing, his age and that he is the franchises FUTURE, you can't sit him that long!!!

This isn't 41 yo Vince Carter or 36 yo Zach Randolph we're talking about here. A 3-4 minute break (in terms of game clock) is plenty for a 20 year old.

Let the kid develop and FLY!

Weird thing update:

Just got a call from a neighbor down the road a bit. She was nearly hysterical. Said she saw a GIGANTIC BEAR walk past her house. Wanted to know what to do. I told her to stay inside until he was gone. I love flatlanders. (She's only lived up here about a month.)

What's the old saying about perception is reality? I could swear you complain about Joerger all the time.

For whatever reason, Joerger isn't going to give Fox excessive minutes at this point. I can't argue with the results thus far, though, as it seems that DeFox is gaining confidence and skills at every turn. I'd rather he continue in this vein than give him too many minutes and have him burn out.

Regardless, though, it's sure more fun to watch when Fox is on the court as opposed to when he's sitting on the bench.

Wow! Taj Gibson (with the major size advantage) was on Bogey with the clock winding down. He had to create, got a floater over Gibson to save a violation. That was beautiful

 

[VF21]

I have a vision of life being pretty good around here when Fox, Bogs, Jackson, Z-Bo and WCS becomes Fox, Bogs, Jackson, WCS and Giles. The future is indeed so bright you may need these:

Joerger in last timeout: “There’s too much pressure on our rim. We need to challenge the ball more whether it’s straight up or on the pick-n-roll to contain the ball. Keep them out of our paint”. T-Wolves have a 32-26 advantage in paint scoring 8 straight in paint to start 3Q

Joerger is known for this. He has very strict rotations and time distributions. While I don't typically have a problem with this since it keeps your players from getting burnt out and ensures you have fresh legs out there at all times, I've never understood why he intentionally ices his players. He'll pull Hield immediately after hitting two 3's or Fox once he has the offense clicking. I'm really hoping this is something that he eventually fazes out once we get a little bit more established because I'm not sure how you can have success when you pull your best players when they start playing well.

 

[VF21]

JaKarr Sampson makes me smile. He's the utility guy who always works his arse off. He may never be an all-star but I could certainly see him being a valuable part of our bench going forward.

That last tip-in off a Bogey miss was credited to JaKarr Sampson who is now 3-4 from the floor with 6 points and 5 boards

 

[VF21]

I never noticed before that Thibodeau is a mouth-breather. Now that I've noticed it, that's all I see whenever they put the camera on him.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Koufos still looking like a player that I may hope doesn’t opt out, a possible good long term piece

 

[jcwkings]

I honestly wouldn't mind if Kosta picks up his option, dude brings it every night and knows his role.

Kosta Koufos doin’ work on the boards getting an offensive put back at the buzzer off a Temple miss. Kings head into the 4th up 80-75 on the 4th place T-Wolves. Kosta is 5-8 off the bench good for 10 PTS to go along with 6 boards #SacramentoProud

Buddy needs to shoot that 3.
