[Game] Kings v. Suns - Sunday, 2/10 - 3PT/6ET
- Thread starter VF21
- Start date
With so much offensive fire power now it means WCS is not getting the ball on offense and it's allowing him to exert himself at what he was born to do and that's defend. Hopefully the coaching staff told him after the trades + Bagley now regularly going for 15-20+ to just defend and roll to the rim.
My favorite part of the night may have been Jerry giving a legit biology lesson to Grant about Flying Foxes. Dude's clearly been studying up on his Discovery channel nature shows during his semi retirement.
J: "The Flying FOX with the steal!"
G: "Flying Fox... I like that one Jerry, did you just come up with that?"
J: "I did. But there really are Flying Foxes, you know."
G: "Is that so?"
J: "Well, yes, they're not actually foxes, but they do fly short distances."
G: "Huh, I didn't know that"
J: "Oh yes, I saw it on the Discovery Channel"
There was more JerryGold in this homestand than we've gotten in a long time. You could tell he'd been saving it up!

I forgot to add that I took the following screen capture during the Heat-GSW game. It dates back 4+ seasons, and while the KINGS haven’t been good for most that time — I still thought it was pretty cool to see them #1 in the category. It's not topical to the KINGS win tonight, but I still thought I'd post it in this thread. 
Jerry R knows what he is looking at. He is right about Bagley running the floor, his quickness and fluid moves. Very unusual to see a rookie dominate a game like that especially playing against the No 1 pick and his former team mate. Bagley's rate of improvement is what strikes me over and over again. He has quickly figured out how to become a great foul shooter. He is extending his range. He is playing better defense all the time. He is a rebounding machine. The Kings got this pick right.
Barnes is already making a difference. Yogi is playing great. Fox is becoming consistent, speed kills. Buddy shows up every night. Bagley should be starting soon. I like Willie best when he scores less, but gets more rebounds. What is going on late in games? He starts blocking shots like others have mentioned before. It is like he only plays hard at the end.

It's funny you mentioned it. I never even bother to think much about headbands and such, but I just love the headband. My wife also. Somehow it fits. Makes him look like a ninja warrior flying down the court and the color fits in nicely with the uniform. Also, he's soo fast going down the court the "tail" of the headband streams behind him like the afterburner of a jet fighter. As Fox continues his ascension I bet you'll see a lot of Kings' fans wearing them at the game.
Chiming in on headband... I absolutely love it even though I've never cared one way or another about any other player's headband. It's unique and fits his play style perfectly. He's a 100% unique player and that headband is as unique as he his. I hope he wears it for the rest of his career. It will soon become his trademark look if he keeps wearing it.
Giving the haters a reason to talk makes it sweeter when you shut them up.
