[Game] Kings v. Thunder - Monday, Nov. 19 - 7 PT

[TaxMan]

I think it's really worked out having Jerry and Koz kick it up in the booth and Doug and Grant on the floor. Jerry still gets to be quite a bit involved in the game. I hope he's doin ok though.

As an out of towner with league pass I HATE these Players Only broadcasts. It takes all the excitement out of the game to have theee people watching TV in the studio lazily talk over the game. I can’t believe this format has gotten a positive reaction anywhere.

 

[The Hammer]

I wonder if Grant has ever seen a Kings turnover that wasn’t caused by pure carelessness

We could easily have been up 75-50 and nearly had the game in the bad by now if it wasn't for pure unnecessary sloppiness. We play so loose we don't realize how good we are yet. Somehow it's not even annoying.... YET!! They sure did look good on the win streak barely turning the ball over, so we know they can do it.

Games on NBATV are sometimes delivered under this format called “players only” ... where instead of having normal broadcasters we get a bunch of former players in a studio somewhere loosely commenting on the game and mostly blathering on about nonsense. It’s excruciating.

That sounds disgusting...and painful.

I they lower the volume of the arena so you kinda faintly hear the atmosphere...

 

[Tetsujin]

The more I hear Doug Christie broadcast games the more I think "this guy is way better than Reggie Miller, and his voice is way easier to listen to"

Between Reggie and C-Webb, I am not a huge fan of TNT's color commentators to say the least.

I know, but in general it’s one of Grants things. All turnovers are careless

 

[fnordius]

What you are missing is the camera man swiping back and forth so fast that you might get motion sickness. Insane back n forth. But it’s all fun!!

I got that impression! Like when Adams makes a two foot shot, and five seconds later WCS does the same... I'm pretty sure Adams can't make that sprint in time.

Its the trade off with this style. Definitely some bad shots in the first half.

I feel like they are making a conscious effort to pick the pace back up to where it was during their hot start to the season. I think they lost a little bit of that over the pas 5 games or so.

 

[VF21]

Looks like Westbook is not happy with the decided lack of MVP preference he's getting from these officials.

 

[VF21]

LOVE seeing that Shumpert steal from Adams.

 

[VF21]

WCS doing a very credible job against Adams.

 

[TaxMan]

Not liking the way this is starting.

 

[Tetsujin]

Fun Bjeli is here

 

[VF21]

A good learning opportunity for the Kings. How do they right the ship and regain the momentum?

It’s horrible. They know the names of the players but if it’s not lebron or the warriors. They don’t care enough to even call it half the time. Still haven’t said why fox went to locker room anybody know?

Grant mentioned in passing that it might have been a shoe issue.

Agreed bro. DC is should get broadcaster ROY easily.

 

[burekijogurt]

They need to focus.

 

[TaxMan]

Out of sync. Need bogie in there

 

[Tetsujin]

BUDDY BUCKETS

 

[Tetsujin]

Bjeli was ready to put Steven Adams in a headlock.

 

[VF21]

Wow. I don't blame WCS. I hope Adams gets nailed, too.

 

[Ozymandias]

I had a feeling we were about to see a flare up.. Westbrook has been furious these last few possessions and has no points to show for a few attempts, I think Fox is in his head a bit. Russ taking the matchup personal.

 

[SLAB]

Idk if it’s been made clear by Grant, but that shove by WCS was indeed a technical foul. The refs were right.

 

[Kingz19]

Flagrant on Westbrook
Tech on Willie
Tech on Adams
And tech on the ref for shoving Bjeli

 

[Tetsujin]

It is the anniversary of the Brawl in Detroit.

 

[HndsmCelt]

It looks to me like Westbrook was hanging on Willie's wrist there.I see a flagrant on Westbrook a technical on the kiwi Sasquatch and yeah Willie is going to have to take a technical himself

 

[VF21]

Flagrant on Westbrook.
T on WCS.
T on Adams.

My prediction.

 

[Ozymandias]

They can't let Adams get away with that.

 

[Sluggah]

This is taking way too long. Let’s just call it a foul and move on.
