[Game] Kings v. Spurs - 10/27/16 - 7:30 PM PDT

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

BS call!

 

[funkykingston]

Sloppy play at the end of the first.

And terrible foul call on Trill.

 

[gil renard]

BS call because Spurs. Guarantee the Suns don't get that call yesterday.

 

[funkykingston]

Dedmon is this game's Jonathan Simmons apparently.

 

[lwc]

Great quarter by the Kings

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Made up for bad offense with a good defensive stand at the end.

Two straight opponents held under thirty in the first quarter!

 

[kingjatt]

Someone stop letting Dedmon look like Anthony Davis.

 

[dude12]

Temple mid range game good
Temple 3 point game........

 

[gil renard]

Who is this Deadman (spelling?) guy?

 

[Tetsujin]

Here in bizzaro land, the Kings have played the Spurs better than the Golden State Warriors.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Who is this Deadman (spelling?) guy?

 

[gil renard]

Nice quarter. But need to keep the TO's down. Kawhi gonna get his, but stop letting this Deadman dude dominate inside.

 

[SomebodyDoSomethin]

Keep our feet moving on D and we might stand a chance.

 

[Tetsujin]

Dedmon apparently the next guy in the Pop-turns-random-dudes-into-NBA-contributors move

 

[gil renard]

Haha

 

[PurpleHaze]

Joerger apparently the first coach to realize Ben is very good at shooting but not good at shooting after dribbling.

Yep. Coach Self at Kansas U definitely knew the deal. Their offense was all about setting double screens at top of key to let McLemore shoot immediately or maybe with one dribble and launch. Now with Big Cuz operating out of high post could be perfect for Ben - and Boogie.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Who is this Deadman (spelling?) guy?

Haha Dedmon

 

[Tetsujin]

Old guy collision!

 

[lwc]

I'm watching the Kings broadcast for once and this new arena looks awesome!

 

[gil renard]

These guys have butter fingers tonight, smh.

 

[Tetsujin]

To Ben's credit, he's got surprisingly good court vision.

 

[funkykingston]

This bench unit is likely going to struggle to score for stretches this season. There's no go-to scorer. So I get that.

But they need to take better care of the ball.

 

[gil renard]

Unkind rim.

 

[The Hammer]

The Barnes door was open...

Oh Jerry... still got it!

 

[lwc]

I love how excited the new coach was about individual defense

 

[Tetsujin]

Garrett Temple is a really, really good defender.

 

[Livinthedream]

Joerger apparently the first coach to realize Ben is very good at shooting but not good at shooting after dribbling.

Play to a player's strength. Coaching 101.

 

[itzcoatl]

Woo! Loving this defense. Sooooo fun to watch.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Philosophical difference I'm going to get used to... I'd play a tight 8-9 man rotation with wheels off the starters, but that might not be best for franchise, or better for team

 

[PurpleHaze]

Recap so far: Boogie scores first basket (driving layup) in Golden One Center history. Matt Barnes hits first three pointer for Kings in new arena.
