[Game] Kings v. Magic - 3/13/17 - 7:30PT/10:30ET

[SLAB]

uhh did Grant just say, "that's called quit shooting the basketball" after Ben missing an open 3? lol damn Grant.

"Quick shooting" I believe.

 

[Kingsfan23]

He looks awful, dude. He didn't even try for that last board...and he was the only white jersey in there.

I didn't see that...

He's been fine for a 19

 

[SLAB]

I mean he's not been spectacular but he's got 2 pts, 4 rbs, and 1 blk in ten minutes.

We can't expect all our young guys to be the next Boogie.

He's better than Boogie. 0 technical fouls.

 

[chasen4r1]

How many games has he played where he got significant minutes? Really, this is premature.

That's fair. But before they ever got significant minutes, both Malachi and Skal at least resembled basketball players. They weren't ready, and they needed D-League to develop, but you saw potential. Papagiannis just hasn't even shown that is all I'm saying.

He hasn't?

Seriously? He said something that demeaning and I missed it??? Damn.

 

[Krunker]

I'm waiting for the game when Grant says, "Papagiannas, you can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him"

 

[VF21]

Papa already has some 4 rebounds, although he didn't exactly have to work very hard for them.

You win the Understatement of the Thread award.

 

[SLAB]

Seriously? He said something that demeaning and I missed it??? Damn.

Na, I'm pretty sure he said "Quick Shooting."

 

[SLAB]

See what happens? Take PapaG out; and the lead just EVAPORATES.

 

[chasen4r1]

He hasn't?

Not that I've seen but I'm willing to see clips that prove me wrong. Just stating what I've observed - not trying to be argumentative or cynical.

 

[VF21]

I didn't see that...

He's been fine for a 19

Dude, let's be honest. I don't care how old he is. If he's out on the court in an NBA game, he needs to show a lot more than what he's shown. He may have all the potential in the world but he is NOT ready for the show. He needs to hone his craft in the D-League and see what happens.

 

[Tetsujin]

Apparently Papa was keeping the Magic at bay.

 

[VF21]

Na, I'm pretty sure he said "Quick Shooting."

Okay, I just reviewed and you're right. He said "quick shooting" ... it was funnier the other way, though.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Papa was fine. He's a 19 year old that is learning, took up space, and can work towards something going forward

 

[Tetsujin]

Once again, he had 2 pts, 4 rbs, and a block in eleven minutes. Not huge numbers but it was also his first action in actual non-garbage time. Was it exciting? No.

Was it horrible? No.

 

[Tetsujin]

Can't believe it but I agree with you

 

[Glenn]

Whatever. He's 7'2" He's 19. What do you want?

 

[Tetsujin]

Whatever. He's 7'2" What do you want?

Exciting wow plays! Plays that make Grant scream!

 

[VF21]

Okay, my stomach is starting to hurt.

 

[Glenn]

Collison fell over. A clear cut veteran tank.

 

[VF21]

Once again, he had 2 pts, 4 rbs, and a block in eleven minutes. Not huge numbers but it was also his first action in actual non-garbage time. Was it exciting? No.

Was it horrible? No.

Are you watching the game? He looked lost most of the time. Should have been called for a moving screen at least once. Only got 2 of those rebounds because they basically dropped into his hands.

To me, that's much closer to horrible than I needed to see tonight. I understand why he got minutes tonight, but I also see why they're going to continue to be limited.

 

[chasen4r1]

Exciting wow plays! Plays that make Grant scream!

That's not at all what I'm saying

 

[VF21]

Kings better watch out. They damned near didn't get the ball over the line in time.

 

[VF21]

That's not at all what I'm saying

I understand what you're saying...and agree (for what it's worth).

 

[chasen4r1]

Whatever. He's 7'2" He's 19. What do you want?

Seriously of all things to attack, we're going to argue about Papa? I'm not expecting "wow plays" or all star play. I just wish I saw more glimpses of whats to come, other than height and age.

As I said before, I'm not trying to be argumentative, not trying to be cynical. Just wishing I could be as excited for him as the rest of our young team.

 

[HndsmCelt]

This is some fun pre-preseason basketball

 

[Glenn]

Send Papa to China.

Maybe there's nothing coming. That wouldn't surprise me. I just think the piling on is a bit much.

 

[VF21]

The kids need this win, arguably almost a much as I do.
