[Game] Kings v. Pelicans - Saturday, Jan. 4 - 7PT/10ET

[Kingster]

The best thing the Kings have done so far is getting fouls on the Pels. Need a lot more passing though.

Fox really struggling from the free throw line in this one. 4-10

This is a basketball game

 

[VF21]

Thank you Mister Holmes!

 

[VF21]

Damn it. Buddy with another crapbrain pass and it gets Harry hurt?

 

[VF21]

There is no way in hell Buddy should ever be allowed to play the point. I don't care if he's the only guard left on the bench. Play a PF at point. Do not let Buddy do it.

 

[VF21]

Oops. Sorry. I appeared to zone out into total rant mode. My bad.

 

[SacTownKid]

Well, Harry's got a pretty good chin there at least.

The ratio of Buddy hate to actual bad plays he makes is ridiculous

Sorry.

he does have 6 TOs though and is 5-14. so if 2 people comment on a TO that's like 12 posts. which is like 20% of the posts in this thread.

 

[VF21]

Sweet move by Giles!!

 

[SLAB]

ATHLETICISM!

Add to that the fact that some of the stuff he does, like passing to a big man below the knee, is just asking for trouble.

Daily reminder we declined Harry's option and now Dedmon wants a trade

Don’t remind us.

Not the time nor place.

True. That said, we’re acting like he’s the sole reason we were losing the game.

 

[Larry89]

WOW Grant disagreeing with the Referees, it truly is a new year

we are not losing the game

EDIT: ah, i see the past tense

No. That's not true. I'm ranting about Buddy because he's making a bazillion dollars and yet he's not only creating turnovers that show up in the stats line, he does stuff like the aforementioned pass that actually put other players at risk. He needs to play SMARTER and quit acting like it's always somebody else's fault.

Surprised he hasn’t thrown out his usual caveat how they are usually right, however, and they remain the best referees in all of sports and do a fantastic job.

 

[SLAB]

Dang it, Harry.

 

[Tetsujin]

Harry WYD

On that play, Harry should have gone for the pass stronger. It was off target but Harry pretty much hit the brakes the second it got deflected and consequently wound up stepping right into an elbow.

One of these days Giles is going to have to learn how to set a simple screen.

I think part of the problem is that he just can't seem to have a clean game. Seems like most players manage to play it clean for at least a game here and there, but Buddy always manages to have at least one high-profile boneheaded play per game. But I agree with the sentiment. I'm not sure where this team is without Buddy.

 

[Kangztillidie]

Buddy is a problem
Giles fouls too much
CoJo is underrated
Fox needs to spend more time learning from Cojo and he would be unstoppable
Harrison Barnes is an invaluable veteran presence
Fox is still better than Ball
I would have more respect for Holiday if he just admitted the foul to the refs instead of arguing
JJ Redick has Buddys number
I hope we win
God I hope we win
Fox turns the ball over too much

 

[SacTownKid]

This is a critical stretch here. He's got Fox, Joseph, and Holmes in there.

2 minutes in and its a disaster all ready with 3 turnovers
