[Game] Kings @ Trailblazers - Wednesday, April 10 - 7:30PT/10:30ET

[Ozymandias]

That was a sweet Oreb by Willie... he pretty much just ripped it outa Skals hands.. 3 blazers around him.

In honor of Buddy Hield:

 

[Tetsujin]

That was a sweet Oreb by Willie... he pretty much just ripped it outa Skals hands.. 3 blazers around him.

In all fairness, Skal has never been known for his strength... or rebounding for that matter.

 

[Ozymandias]

Look at Willie close out and trap Gary Trent in the corner then recover to the paint...!!!!! WE can't find anyone in free agency who can do THAT, not even close tbh, other than Kevin Durant...

 

[Suicide King]

Love Willie's FroZone Dunks

 

[Ozymandias]

In all fairness, Skas has never been known for his strength... or rebounding for that matter.

Blazers have 7'1 Meyers leonard 6'11 skal and 6'10 Layman on the floor and Willie just grabbed the board (when he was out of position) in the middle of all 3..

 

[Tetsujin]

Grant makes every single bad step sound like a career ending injury

 

[VF21]

In all fairness, Skas has never been known for his strength... or rebounding for that matter.

In even more fairness, neither has WCS.

 

[The Effort Police]

Na. On that note, even with him having no path to minutes on this team, I’m still disappointed we traded him. Especially for a man who grew his own orbit after arriving.

Still believe he has a chance to break out into a legit player down the line.

Lmao I remember the reaction to that trade was to pretend that Swanigan is a better fit or is somehow more talented (he isn't), or more importantly that Swanigan didn't suck (he does).

 

[VF21]

And the Kings take the lead:

 

[Capt. Factorial]

With Charlotte and Miami both losing tonight, if we can win we will hold the 14th spot in the lottery all to ourselves. We really need every last chance to not get lotto combos. This is my final goal for the season. Give Boston the #14 pick.

 

[Tetsujin]

In even more fairness, neither has WCS.

It's a battle of two incredibly frustrating big men who followed in the tradition of fellow frustrating Kings bigmen Jason Thompson, Carl Landry, Chuck Hayes, Samuel Dalembert, Spencer HaHaHawes, Mikki Moore, Kenny Thomas's contract, Brian Skinner, late-tenure Brad Miller, Joe Klien

Not exacly true. I don't know about everyone else, but I was just honestly glad to see Skal traded. I didn't really care what we got - I just didn't see a future between Skal and the Kings.

 

[Tetsujin]

Something about Simons's release seems off.

 

[VF21]

 

[Kingz19]

Myles Leonard trying the Dirk one foot fade-away to predictable results

 

[Ozymandias]

How about that shooters bounce by Harrison Barnes!!! I'm pretty sure that bounced over the backboard twice before it went in!

 

[Kingz19]

THERES YOUR SUPERSTAR, PORTLAND

 

[Tetsujin]

THERES YOUR SUPERSTAR, PORTLAND

It's time for Skal's yearly "I'm not dead yet" game

 

[Ozymandias]

Something about Simons's release seems off.

It's compact. He can shoot though.

 

[NME]

Nice that Buddy locked down the record early. Of course, at the rate that 3's are increasing, somebody will probably break 600 in their rookie year eventually.

 

[Tetsujin]

Fox is just picking apart the Blazers defense right now

 

[Ozymandias]

Fox could drop an easy 20 assists tonight if he wanted.

 

[Suicide King]

Marvin closes out really well on 3 point shooters

 

[Ozymandias]

BTW this game vs Portland is what really broke Yogi into the league and got him off 10-day contracts... interested to see if he still likes playing vs them..

 

[Kingsfan23]

I’m going to miss you WCS, lol

This roster will look better next year

I maintain that just adding a defensive presence at C would be 5+ more wins

 

[Ozymandias]

Corey Brewer made a really sweet post entry feed to Bjelly there!!!! he contorted his body left to get the angle...



Sign that guy for next year please! he fits here... He is a match with Marvin...

 

[Tetsujin]

Bjeli is playing like early season Bjeli tonight.

 

[Ozymandias]

We are gonna stomp them.. This was easy $$$ tonight..

 

[Tetsujin]

Marvin's shot has gotten exponentially better since the start of the season.
