[Game] Kings v. Rockets - Monday, Dec. 23 - 7PT/10ET

[NME]

The only fouls they see on Fox are phantom offensive ones.

 

[SacTownKid]

Did I just see speed???

And a cleared out paint too. This is how they need to play. If Walton has to go small to do it then so be it. This spacing is what we need to see. If we do, don't be shocked when Buddy comes back and drops 40 some night either.

If you are gonna tell yourself that Bagley has been fine and the team doesn't look light-years better with him off the floor, than I don't know what else to say.

 

[kingsboi]

when are they going to start giving Fox those calls?

maybe when he is part of a commercial?

 

[fnordius]

Wow. The old Sacramento Memorial Auditorium. Such a stately old building. I actually saw the Rolling Stones there a long, long time ago.

My older brother was at that show, and saw Janis Joplin and a bunch of people there. Good times, if dad would let you go.

 

[KingKong]

We play so much better when we're playing fast. This is not even a question. Play to your strengths.

It's pretty evident that the Kings can do without his services right about now, which is unfortunate but the eye test doesn't deceive.

 

[VF21]

when are they going to start giving Fox those calls?

Not soon enough. If Mark Cuban owned the Kings, there'd be videos heading to the league office on an hourly basis.

chicken and egg problem here

 

[burekijogurt]

Not soon enough. If Mark Cuban owned the Kings, there'd be videos heading to the league office on an hourly basis.

if that is what it takes we should do it too.

Come on dude. At least be honest. You use every opportunity to rag on Bagley, even when he's not on the court.

 

[Tetsujin]

Gee, I wonder what big man would be capable of that?

 

[SacTownKid]

I'm hoping that spacing in that little run wasn't a fluke. I'm down with full 5 out sets from here on. Then when he goes big, work through the post. You could run completely bizarro units that totally fool teams.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Man that Ariza airball had some English on it even.

 

[burekijogurt]

Barnes has learned that go under the defender's arm when shooting. He has been using it all season well. You need strength of course to pull it off.

 

[VF21]

I am, once again, having Cisco Garcia flashbacks. Come on, Buddy.

 

[jcwkings]

Come on dude. At least be honest. You use every opportunity to rag on Bagley, even when he's not on the court.

If he was playing well I wouldn't rag on him. This reminds me of this boards stance on Boogie years ago. If we pointed out when he was poutng and dragging the team down with his terrible body language we would be told to become fans of some other team.

 

[VF21]

The idea that Harden can verbally abuse the officials without recourse drives me nuts. I'd love to see him T'd up just once.

 

[KingKong]

Bagley is really bad defensively. Like really bad!

 

[NME]

We shouldn't have put that incentive in Buddy's contract that he has to start every game 1-5 before making shots.

 

[Iced Espresso]

The way Houston plays sometimes is hard to watch, not sure why they would have any non local fans.

 

[VF21]

Fox to Bags...I like.

 

[Iced Espresso]

What the heck? Bagley with Harden on him, Buddy has the ball, dribbles around for 5 seconds, doesn't even seem like he noticed.

 

[burekijogurt]

Block and a 3. Nice sequence for Nemanja.

 

[VF21]

If Sacramento can keep it close, they just might be able to take advantage of Houston's tired legs in the second half.

 

[Tetsujin]

Bjeli just pulled the Harden on Harden

 

[KingKong]

Fox gets no calls man. Geez!

 

[SacTownKid]

What the heck? Bagley with Harden on him, Buddy has the ball, dribbles around for 5 seconds, doesn't even seem like he noticed.

I think they were calling out another play.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Whoever says the team is better without Fox is crazy.

 

[VF21]

What the heck? Bagley with Harden on him, Buddy has the ball, dribbles around for 5 seconds, doesn't even seem like he noticed.

Hence my Cisco reference. ;(
