He said something like, "Wow, with Fox I'm going to have to work on my speed."

His defense is good, so much better than what we have had to bear witness to on the wings. Wade got hot on him in the 1st half but Barnes knows how to play defense. On offense he needs to cut more instead of hanging out behind the line. He made a stupid entry pass but overall he makes good decisions with the ball. He needs to run harder in transition. He is not used to playing the pace we play. I will likely like Barnes for the extent of his tenure knowing we got him for nothing. He's like a free player and a definite upgrade even if overpaid. He is going to Top 3 for us in terms of getting to the free throw line with Fox and Bagley.

I think so but I don't know where or if Bjelica fits in. I think Barnes is going to take his minutes. Barnes stays in front of his man on the perimeter. Bjelica not so much. Barnes is more switchable and probably rebounds as well. Barnes is also a methodical somewhat mechanical player. So you need more dynamic players on the floor with him. That's Boggy not Bjelica. So this team has a lot to sort out and not a lot of time to do it.This team has a pretty high ceiling now in the defense department. When they get it going on all cylinders it's going to be something.
You wanted Trae Young and to trade Fox. Apparently you wanted 60 games of us getting blown out?
Wow. I missed this.
I agree with this. I think we will definitely see Barnes playing a little bit at the 4 just like coach liked to go with the 3 guard lineup with JJ at the 4. Unless Belly starts consistently giving us a few threes a game, I feel like he’s going to get lost in the shuffle. Marvin will be getting at least 25 min a night. Giles at least 15 or 20. I think Barnes seems like the type of steady player that coach loves and will ride him pretty big minutes and so he’ll do what he has to to keep him on the floor.I think so but I don't know where or if Bjelica fits in.

Don't worry about it. The Miami zone turned Fox into a 2-guard tonight, which is not his game. He's A-OK.
It’s really sad that he damn near has to get a concussion in order to get foul calls.HEYYY THEY CALLED SOMETHING FOR FOX!
His defense on wade made me raise my eyebrows. He’s literally built like Artest and looked a lot like him thereBarnes low key had an impactful game. Never tried to do too much even though at some point in the third quarter he had to be thinking:
“wait, they’re saying I’m a third or fourth option on THIS team?”
Must want to show the new guys who the kardiac kings are. No lead is safe
I don't know for sure, of course, but that Harrison Barnes guy just might not be too bad.
Playoff level adjustments right thereAlso, he mentioned some of the stuff we noticed - notably the bad matchup that was Marvin and J Johnson and such.... and how they finally figured out how to adjust to it. Glad we have a coach who can identify stuff like this, even if I can't understand some of the decisions he makes.
so regarding the 19-2 run in 6:30 min to win the game: 94-83 to 96-102
Kings: Buddy7,Barnes 4,Bogie 3,fox 2, Willie 3 (Our 6 min Death Line up LOL)
7pts were FT, no 3pts, 6 made 2pts
We shot 6 for 11 , 54%
but Mia went 1 for 11, missed 5 2pts , missed 5 3pt, missed 2 ft
Willie 3 blocks
They shot 1 for 11 , 9%
So of the 10 misses, 3 were willie blocks
So it was our defense, and Miami Brick-a-thon that allowed us to win
As well as our 54% shooting, and 7 made FT
I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!!!!
Wow. I missed this.
Kings had no business winning this game. I think game ball has to go to Harrison Barnes here. He played shut down defense on Wade, helped rebound the ball.
