Is that New JJ?!

I for second had a flash back to old JJ.
(Goose Egg Jackson according to Blob)

Lol, the game was only a 9 point game when whiteside left. It’s 15 when he returned

Stand by my preseason claim, despite what the idiot coach thinks, Whiteside is a top-5 player on this team.

Despite his flaws he makes a difference every single time he steps on the floor for us.

Buddy needs to be the one spotting up waiting to CATCH AND SHOOT. Walton is using him to draw double teams and run defenders around but he's kicking it out to players that teams want to shoot.

Spot up shooters should be coming off the bench.

He's looking really good with the small units. That pick and roll with he and Haliburton was nice. He carves a lot of space on those plays.

 

[macadocious]

i feel like maybe you all missed this, this was before the game started. Look at that board. He was showing fox something!

 

[Tetsujin]

In addition to blindly flailing on his rotations, Walton has also returned his offensive sets to the bad horn sets of last season.

 

[SacTownKid]

Spot up shooters should be coming off the bench.

Spot up shooters should be the backbone of your pick and roll offense.

Is that a diagram of a uterus? That explains everything.

 

[Iced Espresso]

2 players are a net positive, anyone have a guess?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Ty with 6 assists but so far hasn’t made as big
of an impact as usual. The last time he had a subpar first half he came back in the end and shredded it.

I peeked earlier. Would have guessed the one but not the other

Whiteside and Haliburton?

I have no idea what Luke is doing tonight. Haliburton is carving them up in the first and he gets a quick hook. Barnes started out on fire then barely touched the ball in the second. Bjelica is guarding Melo one-on-one for an extended sequence with predictable results. They have no answer for Whiteside so that's when we go back to Bagley at the 5. Buddy is once again the ballhandler coming off screens and looking for shooters. Luke must have been that kid who thought the square block would eventually fit in the round hole if he just pushed it hard enough.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Whiteside and Haliburton?

Well Ty is the best - of the starters,

Whiteside is one of them.

Gr3?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Whiteside and Haliburton?

The other guy will be chowing down on some
Cevapi after the game

 

[Iced Espresso]

Gr3?

Nope

ok he only played 5 mins and got torched, but it was Bjelica.

Bagley got good looks on pick and roll. The handling up top stuff looking for a hand off is a pace killer, so frustrating.

 

[Woot!]

In a game the team is losing by 17, Whiteside is +1 in 13 min.

Go figure.

 

[Iced Espresso]

If they are not running the pick & roll with Bagley right away, Walton is simply stubborn.

I couldn't have said it better myself...

 

[SLAB]

Giant neon OPEN sign back up and running. Smh

olé!

 

[SLAB]

There isn’t a King on the floor that’s going to knock someone to the ground.

Whiteside would. Bjeli would throw a shot.

 

[kb02]

Doug's calling for physicality again. NO WAY!

 

[SLAB]

Bagley just had a flashback to his very first summer league game. Luckily no poster to haunt him this time.

 

[kb02]

Pull Buddy. Getting abused by the Portland guards. Just as he did last night by Toronto guards.

 

[SacTownKid]

You can see it in their faces. The full on revolt has begun. hahaha. As Kings fans we could have a masters in that particular field of psychology we've seen it so many times over the years. lol.

ahh... that would be our Serbian royalty....

 

[Kingz19]

Not even competitive. Probably the worst defensive Kings team I’ve ever seen since the new year...and that’s saying an awful lot.
