[Game] Kings v. Blazers Tuesday Feb 27

From Kayte:
Encouraging thing in timeout…

Iman Shumpert who hasn’t even played w/Kings yet since trade (and is known for his defense) was talking at length with De’Aaron Fox about defending Lillard. Obviously don’t know him well yet but he seems to be a quality “team” first vet

It has to drive coach Joerger crazy how we fail to rebound

 

[HndsmCelt]

Best player on the Kings this half is CJ McCollum

Hey Willie is getting those rebounds so at least he makes the guys around him better.

Switched Bogie onto Lillard and CJ goes off....

 

[Suicide King]

Frank is a Junior Wizard. Glad to see him back. Missed the last 2 games.

edit : Wizard in the J.R.R.Tolkien sense

 

[Mrkipro]

We can win this...

 

[Suicide King]

What did I come home to? This game feels odd to me. At least we are hanging tough.

 

[jcwkings]

Mason can get tunnel vision on his drives and it leaves him in bad spots. Needs to make the simple play more.

 

[ESP47]

Is it just me or are the Blazers one of the least interesting playoff teams to watch?

 

[HndsmCelt]

The Kings handsy defense really has helped create those turnovers and getting into the Open Court. Problem is they can't stop that three ball

The thing I like about Frank is he gets something done. It keeps opponents on their heels. Very valuable, but as you said, needs to be sharpened. Good pick up for a second rounder. Frank brings the toughness we need all around.

 

[jcwkings]

Everytime it looks like the Kings are getting some momentum they turn it over and it turns to a quick run the other way.

 

[Suicide King]

First trip to the line for Fox? Next season.......

 

[Suicide King]

I have only been watching since halfway through the third, however Willie is rushing everything. If he could just dominate like he is capable of, well...

My son and I were just talking about the beating he's taken out there. Part of its being new part of its being small. Next year he will get more
respect

 

[jcwkings]

At some point the Kings have to realize you have to run guys off the three point line. This isn't 1993 NBA. The Blazers are blitzing our shooters but Kings have been content to give up spot shots for over a decade it seems.

It has to be quite the adjustment. He is slight as well as a rookie. I have faith.

 

[FaStRmAn]

Hard to watch

 

[Suicide King]

This team will not be happy with losses next season. They look genuinely unhappy.

Good!

It’s hard being a kings fan.

It’s hard being a kings fan.

Sometimes. Life tends to keep me in focus though. In the long run, we will be ok.

 

[Suicide King]

Good!

Could not agree more, I stand by my notion Dave will flip the script on all of us. Hope I am not wrong. I don't like being that guy.

 

[ESP47]

Very uninteresting game unlike last nights game.

Nothing of note from the young guys other than Hield's defensive plays and Skal's awesome block on Davis.

 

[hrdboild]

It's the wrong side of a home-away back to back for us. These games are almost automatic losses. That's where the lack of energy comes from I think. Few things in life are as reliable as the inability of the human body to function at full capacity on diminished sleep. I wouldn't read too much into it.

Shumpert can only do one thing, defend. He shoots horribly and is a detriment on the floor. Hopeful the Kings cut him or buy him out in the offseason. Will probably never play a minute for the KIngs. Where is he going to play? Kings have enough issues getting Hield and Bogdan minutes. Great idea for Joerger though. Another vet to take away minutes from those guys. Shump can play the 3 sometimes. But, do you really want a Small forward who shoots 37 percent? Really. If KIngs draft a 3, he will be gone for sure.

Shumpert will opt in for sure. But if he can reach Fox to play defense he will no worth every penny.

 

[The Hammer]

Holding steady on 18... I like it.

 

["The Serbian Sniper"]

I don't like games where Zbo has the most points and shoots on the team, but still a lot of minutes for youngs... WCS 31, Justin 25, Fox 33, Bogi 32, Buddy 29, Skal 26, Frank 16. I can live with that...

JJ is giving signs of life again. I want to see more from him and in more consistent level.
