[Game] Kings v. Trailblazers - Monday, Jan. 14 - 7PT/10ET

I know Hammer, but there is a reason he "gets" to dunk the ball.

Like I said. He’s best when the offense comes to him! & Just don’t force it

 

[Sluggah]

What a ridiculous call.

 

[NME]

Grant disagreed with the refs. Fetch my smelling salts!

 

[Kingz19]

Two of Bags fouls were utter nonsense.

 

[The Hammer]

I love our bench!!

 

[1234kings]

LOVIN KINGS BALL!!!!!

This is a great sign. Giles and Bagley are such dangerous pieces in pick and roll. The next step is start getting them minutes with Fox and Buddy.

Both guys have arms wrapped and both are just trying to untangle in the backcourt away from the play but the damn zebra finds it necessary to call a double foul, good Lord.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

2/3 of WCS fg's are dunks. He misses 90% of the rest.

The actual numbers: 39.5% of Willie's made FGs are dunks. Assuming he missed 0 dunks, he hits the remainder of his shots at 40% (but since he has certainly missed some dunk attempts, his FG% on non-dunks is something higher than that).

 

[SacTownKid]

I'll repeat. Marvin can do what Willie can, plus hit a jumper and create off the dribble. Score in post.....

Add in great hands. Both Giles and Bagley have the hands, can't teach that.

 

[Kingz19]

JJ the Stauskus stopper

 

[The Hammer]

I know Hammer, but there is a reason he "gets" to dunk the ball.

Yes, he is good at lobs, but a lot of the is because of our great guard play. It's not a skill you can build around. Plus, Giles and Bagley can do it as good or better. Willie has better lob range but fumbles it frequently, Giles has glue on his hands, and Bagley can get up even higher than Willie, without the turnover liability.

 

[kingsboi]

8 points in 8 minutes for Giles....yup that ought to do it

 

[Tetsujin]

Harry Giles's potential is absolutely insane. You can absolutely see why scouts thought he was a better prospect that KAT. Even without whatever athleticism the leg injuries cost him, he's still going to be an absolute monster.

 

[SLAB]

First stupid foul by Harry in a long while.

Willie runs the pick and roll well. No doubt.

 

[SLAB]

Willie my dude...

Turnovers, bad decision making, etc. 40% non dunk fg % seems ridculously low for a player that takes almost all of his shots in the paint... but I don't have a way to gauge that.

 

[Kingsfan2002]

WCS makes his presence felt immediately

 

[Tetsujin]

We ran a Harry play for Willie and he just Willie'd hard.

 

[Kingz19]

Willie in the high post or block is like when one of the buttons starts to stick on the game controller and he gets stuck in a pivot

 

[kingsboi]

Willie sees Nurkic in his dreams I think....he has a wide open lay in or dunk, instead he takes a dribble to gather and the Boogeyman is there waiting for him

 

[The_Jamal]

Bogdan is spanking these Portland guards right now. Bullllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

How many Willie FGs SHOULD be dunks, but he flips up some garbage instead?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

BBRef has those sort of breakdowns. This year WCS is shooting .296 from 3-10 feet, which is not at all good, and he has been progressively getting worse from that range over his career.

 

[Kingz19]

Didn’t Willie have his coming out party by eating Nurkic alive in the first game after Boogie got dealt?

Now he’s like 2-22 vs Nurkic this season

 

[Tetsujin]

Willie, you're one of the longest, moth athletic players in the league. Just dunk the damn ball.

 

[jcwkings]

Nurkic is in Willie's head big time atm

 

[SLAB]

There’s your offense, Willie!
