[Game] Kings v. Celtics - Sunday, March 25 - 3 PT

[VF21]

I don't have access to the Kings game, but enjoying the Duke / Kansas matchup. Bagley is so active for a big, Carter is a bit more plodding but also good.

Just don't post the final score in this thread, okay? Some of us are recording that game while we watch the Kings.

 

[VF21]

First quarter impressions: Kings came ready to play, despite the early tipoff time. Kids are working hard on defense and it might just be wishful thinking, but it looks to me like they've been working on defensive coverage in practice.

Oh wow. They just announced Chuck Yeager in the house. I've met General Yeager. INCREDIBLE MAN, but so much smaller in stature than you would think considering what he's accomplished. Glad to see he got a standing ovation from the G1C fans.

Carter, Mason, WCS, DeFox and KK on the court for the Kings.

Kings lead 29-28 with 9:50 left in the second.

Side note: So glad to see the Kings in something other than the baby blues.

G1C crowd erupts as the Celtics miss two from the free throw line and win a free taco (although I think they're not allowed to say taco).

 

[VF21]

WCS doing a good job on defense against Greg Monroe.

 

[VF21]

Kings with 5 turnovers now, the last two being traveling calls against Carter and WCS.

It's a Jumbo Jack. But I think it's funny how Grant and Jerry insist on it being called "a fast food item". Clearly it's a contractual thing.

 

[VF21]

Frank Mason with quite possibly the best hairstyle of the night.

Kings 38-33 and both Mason and Hield are looking good at the moment.

 

[VF21]

Buckets by Buddy continue to rain! He showed a lot of finesse in using a head fake and side step to get his last one.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Why Grant is not suggesting that the building sprinkler system might be needed to extinguish Buddy Hield is beyond me. Oh, that's right, he's not paying attention to the game right now.

 

[VF21]

And, as I typed the above, he hits another one!

I LOVE THIS TEAM!

Kings 44-36

Jaylen Brown hits the floor and heads to the line. He's blinking and shaking his head a bit.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Fox and Willie are really getting the hang of the pick-and-roll. swarm practicing they're going to be vicious!

 

[VF21]

DeFox back in. Nice dish to WCS, who is fouled hard as he heads inside. Misses the dunk but heads for the line. It seems like Fox/WCS are getting more and more in tune with each other.

But Grant appears to be more interested in babbling to Jerry...

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Why Grant is not suggesting that the building sprinkler system might be needed to extinguish Buddy Hield is beyond me. Oh, that's right, he's not paying attention to the game right now.

Ah, it's OK. Joerger put him out.

 

[VF21]

Now it's Bogs to WCS. I dont care what anybody says, this team is FUN to watch.

 

[HndsmCelt]

And, as I typed the above, he hits another one!

Kings 44-36

Jaylen Brown hits the floor and heads to the line. He's blinking and shaking his head a bit.

Scal is definitely getting harder

 

[VF21]

Ah, it's OK. Joerger put him out.

Right or wrong, we know Joerger is going to stick with his rotation. I honestly thought he might leave Buddy out there, but I'm not gonna complain.

 

[VF21]

Kings 50-43

Grant must be reading our board. They just spent about 30 seconds focused on how great Buddy is doing.

 

[VF21]

Starting five back in, good ball movement and another NICE 3 by DeFox.

 

[VF21]

And everything seems to be falling right now for the Kings.

55-48 Kings

 

[VF21]

Both WCS and Skal doing a pretty good job against the much more experienced Celtics.

57-50 with 57 seconds left. Will grant get a chance to say it???

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I know it's probably wishful thinking, but I'm recording the Kansas game and praying Grant doesn't give away the result. I've shut off all the other possible sources for the spoiler so please don't say anything in this thread.

I feel bad for anyone who's counting on Napear to not be a prick, at any point in time.

 

[VF21]

Hold your breath... YEP! There it is. Kings in a 2-for-1 if they hurry. LOL!

Somebody trademarked the word taco?

Probably true, unfortunately.

Drink!

 

[HndsmCelt]

Nice first half of basketball!

 

[VF21]

No, I misspoke. It's a Jumbo Jack, and they cannot/do not for whatever reason say the product although it is on the coupon they give you as you leave the arena.

 

[VF21]

EXCELLENT first half of basketball. You know I'm enjoying it when my biggest gripe would be about the green tights a number of Celtics players are wearing.

GO KINGS!
