Who the hell is Dort

Athletic bully combo guard, came out of Arizona State last year as a freshman.

 

[VF21]

Wow. What a summary of the TWolves game. Great job by NBCSportsBayArea.

 

[VF21]

Props to @Scott Moak. That tribute cannot have been easy to read.

Whoops meant to post this in the Kobe thread but its such a great video that everyone needs to see it.

I moved it to the RIP thread. There are a LOT of great tributes and videos showing up and putting them there seems best way for most people to find them.

 

[VF21]

Somehow, those blue and orange jerseys just don't scream "Thunder" to me.

 

[Tetsujin]

Bogi has had two games in a row with the Mitch Richmond two.

How in Gods name is Holmes still out? Lmao like ... seriously

Dude...we have a thread in the Off the Court forum about injuries. This isn't the place. Thanks.

 

[VF21]

Odd feeling emanating from my TV. Like a mixed focus - between honoring Kobe and playing the game.

 

[VF21]

10-6 Thunder with 6 minutes left in the first. I see them moving but there's no energy...

 

[VF21]

And it's not that they're not trying. It's just that it feels like the sound is off or something. I don't know how else to explain it.

Oh, BTW? Chris Paul still gets on my last nerve.

12-7 with 5+ left

 

[Groovygreg]

I can’t remember the last time the Kings jumped out to a significant early lead.

 

[VF21]

Dedmon with 4 boards already? And Tolliver says I'm back to G1C with a 3. Meanwhile, Buddy gets ready to come in.

Wait? WTH am I doing? Old habits and all that. I just about went into full PBP mode, forgetting completely what decade this is. LOL!

Those kind of games scare me just as much. I’d rather we don’t

 

[VF21]

I can’t remember the last time the Kings jumped out to a significant early lead.

Like they say, it's not who's ahead in the first quarter.

I know what you mean, but I can recall feeling that a significant early lead for the Kings is a curse.

How did that work out for the T-Wolves?

New decade, and the VF21 Cycle is coming complete!

 

[VF21]

There are some great comments/memories on Twitter right now but I'm going to focus on the now...on this game.

GO KINGS!!

 

[VF21]

Buddy must be really hyped for this game, and the reflective energy from the TWolves game. His shots are missing off the back of the rim.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Great start guys

 

[VF21]

Giles, Bazemore, Buddy, Cojo and Tolliver on the court for the Kings. Not the best lineup I've ever seen.

 

[Groovygreg]

It seems like offensive spacing and flow for the Kings rarely looks the way it should.

Bringing back some flavor of the old times would not be the worst thing

 

[Joshoua]

One of the most selfish sequences I’ve seen by Bazemore right there. Made sure not to get contact on 2 screens so he gets the ball, drives losses it and instead of passing to CJ wide open he does a step back

 

[VF21]

NICE dish by Giles inside to Bazemore. Adams just stared.

Wow. That's a take, I suppose...

I've gone back and read some of those old PBP threads. I cannot believe I actually did those in real time on a dial-up connection!

 

[Amiga]

awful last possession.
