[Game] Kings v. Raptors 3/8/2019, 6PM PT 9PM ET

[Tetsujin]

Holmes played that pick and roll defense perfectly

 

[SacTownKid]

This is a totally different team defensively with Holmes in there.

 

[Kingster]

Bazemore has come up big.

 

[Tetsujin]

Richaun's defense is just so good

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Bazemore has come up big.

Remind me why Portland didn't want him again?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Holmes blocked that shot TOO hard. A bit less and the Kings recover the ball.

 

[Kingster]

I'll take that 1st quarter. Way to battle back.

 

[KingKong]

2nd unit brought the energy.

 

[Kingster]

Remind me why Portland didn't want him again?

Very strange. Their loss...

 

[thingfish]

Nice bench work! I’ll take a tied up 1st

 

[Tetsujin]

Holmes, CoJo, Baze is such a good defensive grouping that you can pretty much just throw anyone else out there and at least be an average defensive squad

 

[burekijogurt]

The big raptor came in growling stomping around. The Kings showed their teeth.

 

[KingKong]

Remind me why Portland didn't want him again?

He didn't play particularly well for them.

 

[Tetsujin]

LENSANITY TIME

 

[Tetsujin]

Going from Holmes to current Rudy Gobert Len is unfair

 

[Kingz19]

Drives me nuts how the Kings always barely beat the 8 seconds to get across half court

 

[jcwkings]

Holmes and Len need to see most if not all of the C minutes tonight. Raps too much for Harry right now.

 

[Kingz19]

That’s totally a clear path

 

[kingsboi]

Raptors offense thus far has been something from a Horror movie....they are obviously missing Van Vleet, he makes a lot of things go for them

 

[SacTownKid]

With Holmes back and Len now on the squad the Kings aren't nearly as helpless against physical teams as they once were.

 

[O0chieboomboom]

Drives me nuts how the Kings always barely beat the 8 seconds to get across half court

Always noticed that too... fox and buddy always

 

[Tetsujin]

LENSANE IN THE MEMBRANE

 

[Kingster]

Len is turning into an offensive powerhouse.

 

[Section 101]

Drives me nuts how the Kings always barely beat the 8 seconds to get across half court

They only get the ball with about 20 seconds after the rebound.

 

[Tetsujin]

I'm guessing someone other than Buddy is going to hit a three in the second half

 

[KingKong]

Lowry and Powell killing us.

 

[Amiga]

They keep hitting contested three's.

 

[kb02]

The Kings second unit got significantly tougher with the Len, Bazemore additions.

 

[luckytkp]

We need to see Len more in the 2nd half. Raptor forces you to drive and Len is big enough for offensive rebound or a simple dump off inside.

 

[Kingster]

Lowry and Powell killing us.

If it's close, I want Bazemore on him in the 4th quarter.
