[Game] Kings v. Lakers - Thursday, Dec. 27 - 7PT/10ET

[fnordius]

All right, Joerger has 15 minutes to figure out how to get Buddy more involved on offense.

With Fox having an off night, especially.

 

[Suicide King]

Bounce back Buddy to the front desk please

For those of you just reading this thread, the score at the half is 67-61 Lakers. From some of the comments, you'd think it was 100-12 or something.

Problem is imo ...still a lot of the same problems we’ve seen over the last 6 games, but they were able to stage 2 great comebacks. The defense had been abysmal lately

 

[VF21]

We should be up 100-12 though. It's like we had an early 1q lead and lost focus. We seem to have a need of playing from behind to win a game.

The Lakers aren't a bad team, even without LeBron. I don't understand how Kings fans can get so upset so fast in the middle of a game.

 

[SacTownKid]

We should be blowing this team off our court.

The Lakers are in a groove right now. I watched the last couple games they've played and they are in a great rhythm lately. The Kings need to keep attacking.

 

[lwc]

As much as I hate to say it, I see glimpses of why the Lakers have held on to Brandon Ingram all these years. His defense has been quite excellent tonight and he has quietly had a great offensive game too.

Nobody for the Kings has played exceptionally well tonight but everyone has done enough to stay in it. Got to ramp it up after halftime.

 

[Kingz19]

Fox is 3 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists away from fulfilling one of Doug’s keys to victory. I don’t know if Doug had a Kidd triple double in mind though. Hopefully he can start scoring more.

Or Buddy

Or BOTH

 

[Kingsfan23]

I’m glad LeBron isn’t playing..

 

[Suicide King]

It should be pretty clear by now how much Buddy's game affects the outcome. He has been killing it
the last 6 games before yesterday.

They are a bad team without LeBron. We are better at a minimum 3/5 starters and a better bench. We should be up at near suns game level. We need these 2 games with LeBron and rondo out.

The Lakers. Without LeBron.

People are going to overreact accordingly. Lol

I would phrase it more as... If we are a good team we should beat them without LeBron. They may be playing well as of late but we need to be better than them if we have actual playoff hopes

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Fox would be a heck of a free safety.

Um, tell that to the Warriors.

 

[mac]

We dead

 

[VF21]

Well, lookee here.

 

[mac]

Um, tell that to the Warriors.

Thing is, Warriors can afford to lose a game like that. We can't if we want to make the playoffs

 

[Hoovtrain]

Everything seems so disjointed lately. I think not having Bagley has been a huge problem

 

[VF21]

NICE defense by WCS inside there.

70-67 Lakers

Buddy really needs to find his shot.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Great pass

 

[Ozymandias]

Nice contest there at the rim by Willie vs Hart

 

[VF21]

Hrm.

70-69 Lakers

Stupid Kings.

 

[Tetsujin]

Super unpolar opinion in Lakers land sure, but I think Fox has better courtvision than Lonzo.

 

[Kingz19]

Hopefully we can get a Buddy Blitz, even a mini one before the game is over. Two duds after that lovely stretch would be disheartening

 

[Suicide King]

You've been Shumped

 

[The Hammer]

WCS defense is the most jekyl and hyde defense I've ever seen. I'm becoming schizophrenic watching it.

 

[steelevt]

Let's take these last 3 mins and play like that the rest of the game please.

 

[SLAB]

Buddy’s been not so good since realizing he’s far past his prime.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

There are times when I would love to smack Grant upside the head.

Me too, but only on the occasions when time can be expressed in whole numbers.

 

[Kingz19]

Funny how Shump is always getting sat for back to backs but he is the most energetic guy on the floor for us
