[Game] Kings v. Mavericks - Wednesday, Jan. 15 - 7PT/10ET

[KingKong]

Dude when is Bogi back???

Why does Giles get pulled for making one mistake even though he made a few nice plays?

Interesting that he is held to a different standard than most of the team.

I agree with you, but wasn't he replaced by Bjelica with 15 sec left? I think it was for floor spacing on the last play

 

[sergmatt]

45 foot buzzer beaters covered by three guys, yes.
Wide open threes set up by the perfect Luka pass? No way

He's pretty their version of Ariza.

I've seen Justin Jackson miss dozens of perfectly setup wide open 3s.

Oh please. Just don't...

 

[Groovygreg]

The Kings’ defense is making the whole Dallas roster look like MVPs.

Yep.

 

[Kings_of_California]

LOL here we go again! Typical Kings 3rd quarter poopoo and patented Q4 comeback.

 

[twslam07]

I like “angry Fox”

 

[sergmatt]

Oh please. Just don't...

Was he not pulled for 1 mistake? You know the answer.

 

[Groovygreg]

Say what you will about Ariza. He does make some good defensive plays.

For whomever it was who asked about the June bug comment:

In the past? Of course. Tonight? Not that I saw. Let it go.

 

[Section 101]

Ariza needs a rest game.

 

[SacTownKid]

I know Bogdan is out, but I really have no words for putting 3 guards out there up against a team that can roll 6'8" 1-4.

 

[Sluggah]

Turns out we really miss Holmes. Guess that’s not surprising.

 

[sergmatt]

Why isn't he on the floor then? Generally you don't take your starting PF out for 2 minutes and then put him right back in for the guy that just subbed for him. 2 minute rests on one quarter aren't common place.

 

[Tetsujin]

He's been his usual solid self on offense but as the only big on the floor Bjeli's defense has not been great tonight.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Well, so much for any momentum we had. Our goose is just about cooked.

 

[SLAB]

Is it my rampant player bias, or are the Kings consistently just a little bit better when Giles is actually on the floor? Answer honestly, because I’m not sure if I’m seeing what I want to see or if I’m actually seeing something real.

 

[KingKong]

We can't guard anyone!

 

[VF21]

Turns out we really miss Holmes. Guess that’s not surprising.

He could have helped a lot out there tonight. Mavs fans were pretty happy he wasn't going to play.

 

[Kingster]

Bjelica is an abject failure as a defensive center.

 

[Groovygreg]

As a team, the Mavs seem to be able to consistently score in the paint but the Kings can’t.

 

[VF21]

Honest answer? Potential doesn't equal performance at this point IMHO. But that's not really for the game thread.

 

[VF21]

Bjelica is an abject failure as a defensive center.

Not too much of a mystery since he's clearly a 4.

 

[Section 101]

Fox has a left shoulder issue.

 

[Mjfuller53]

3 of 9 FTs. There just aren’t words . . .

 

[VF21]

Fox has a left shoulder issue.

???

 

[Tetsujin]

De'Aaron hasn't touched thee ball for the last three possessions

 

[VF21]

...sigh...
