[Game] Kings v. Nuggets - Saturday, Jan. 6 - 7 PT

[lawlman91]

joeger seems like a good coach

 

[SLAB]

Can Kosta and Temple sit now?

Mali's gonna check back in with 3 minutes left and coach will wonder why he looks cold. Temple then plays 24 minutes the second half.

 

[The_Jamal]

We're getting pretty good shots and the ball is moving decently well. Just bricking everything right now. Defense has been solid though, lot of good shot contests and not giving easy looks.

 

[The_Jamal]

Btw, Vince playing some awesome old-man defense/rebounding in the post

 

[Kingsfan23]

Joking is out of shape.. is his game devolving?

 

[John Galt]

I hope Bogi is a King for the next 12 years. He plays with a lot of joy. I have a total crush on him

 

[The_Jamal]

Fox is finding every open shooter. Everyone just bricking them like crazy

 

[SLAB]

Gotta love that there was a starting lineup I totally liked and also they played really well together...

... then said lineup never saw the floor again.

Joerger, you drive me batty.

 

[Larry89]

Garrett has been horrendous on offense this season, Malachai should've gotten more of his minutes the first half of the season

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Temple needs to play about 0 minutes in the second half. Just killing us out there tonight.

 

[jcwkings]

Skal never returned after the first quarter and he was playing well.

 

[SacTownKid]

A bit annoying seeing Skal get the 5-7 minute stint then sit slot. Joerger just undercut him on a potential break out night. The 9 man rotation is much better though.

The Nuggets are starting to double off the pick and roll so Joeger needs to make sure Fox has outlets at the short 3's. It just feels like the first team who starts knocking down 3's will win this. They also need to get Buddy going. He shot the ball a lot but it's another game where he has Buddy hanging out as a floor spreader which is a waste of time and the 3 is the only shot they are getting him.

15 turnovers for Denver and it's only a 5 point game...yikes.

 

[kingsboi]

Skal never returned after the first quarter and he was playing well.

whether he plays well or not, you see him in the first quarter and the beginning of the third and that's about it

 

[kingsboi]

Temple needs to play about 0 minutes in the second half. Just killing us out there tonight.

everytime he shoots, it seems as if he is drifting to his left, for whatever reason.

 

[Suicide King]

15 turnovers for Denver and it's only a 5 point game...yikes.

"If ya don't like that!"

 

[kingsboi]

I hope Bogi is a King for the next 12 years. He plays with a lot of joy. I have a total crush on him

12 years?

 

[SLAB]

Skal's having a nice start. Bench him.

 

[kingsboi]

Skal's having a nice start. Bench him.

Couldn't agree more.

 

[SLAB]

Mali too. Temple needs his minutes.

 

[kingsboi]

Trill is frustrating me with his complaining to the ref, just run back on defense and do it after a timeout.

 

[The_Jamal]

Fox has been legit awesome at finding open shooters tonight.

 

[Kingsfan23]

De’aaron showing good stuff

 

[Kingsfan23]

Was that Fox’s offhand? That was sick

 

[The_Jamal]

This is honestly so exciting. Seeing the potential ooze out of these young guys right now

 

[kingdivac]

Temple needs to play about 0 minutes in the second half. Just killing us out there tonight.

This isn't new, he's had quite a few 1 for 6 or 0 for 5 type games. He gives good effort on the floor but his offensive execution can be ghastly. I'm surprised it occurs so regularly that the coaching staff hasn't figured it out.... really he ought to be looking to pass first on offense or crashing the glass.

 

[kingdivac]

Cauley-Stein with 5 steals.....!

 

[kingsboi]

Temple has entered to begin the brick fest

 

[The_Jamal]

Koufos and WCS are taking it to Jokic tonight, making him work for everything

 

[SacTownKid]

Koufos with some terrific screens in that quarter. Kosta is a piece they might want to hold onto if they finally just stick with the pick and roll.
