[Game] Kings vs. Blazers, 1/9/21 7pm PST, 10pm EST

[kb02]

Portland ain't even playing defense. Kings players just not making their shots.

 

[Livinthedream]

What am I watching right now?? The team looks like they have no idea what they're supposed to be doing.

 

[TaxMan]

This could get ugly

The Walton Way.

 

[kb02]

Could?

 

[SacTownKid]

The Walton Way.

The team I'm sure will have a "pride" moment, but it's clear, they've checked out. The smalls tried running his high post horns action in this one and it was as terrible as ever.

 

[SLAB]

I cannot wait until CoJo and Bjeli are long long gone.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Melo has turned into a Kings Killer....

 

[Tetsujin]

What is this offense right now?

 

[dude12]

Melo has turned into a Kings Killer....

Because we guard him with Bjeli

 

[SactownShaq]

I cannot wait until CoJo and Bjeli are long long gone.

Don’t put beli in the same tier as cojo

 

[SLAB]

Melo needed it. Put his ego in check to accept this role.

That ain't happening with the current players on the team.

 

[SLAB]

If CoJo is an F Bjeli is a solid D. They’re both not good.

 

[Tetsujin]

If CoJo is an F Bjeli is a solid D. They’re both not good.

To be fair, I have more faith in Bjeli figuring things out and helping the Kings win games than I do CoJo

 

[SLAB]

Whiteside hasn’t done a lot but his big body down there has changed the way the Blazers have played. There’s no longer a giant neon OPEN sign hanging over the paint.

 

[dude12]

Woodard is a better matchup on Melo

Beli was great for us with joerger, not his fault Walton misuses him. He’s an elite shooter at 6’10 and on a cheapish deal he’s a solid role player.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Because we guard him with Bjeli

That's a good hypothesis, it did look bad, let's see now that Barnes is in...

 

[SacTownKid]

That call on Whiteside was a pity one. Looked like good solid contact.

 

[Livinthedream]

Woodard is a better matchup on Melo

I think Woodard would look better playing with regular rotation players as well.

 

[kb02]

Woodard is a better matchup on Melo

He needs a long run.

 

[SacTownKid]

Woodard is a better matchup on Melo

It's funny, the only time he's extended his defense is when they played big. Had Bjelica waaay up on the guard or wing, yet when small he packs them into the paint. You can't make this stuff up.

[SLAB]

My man.

 

[SLAB]

Lmao Whiteside celebrating that assist.

 

[hrdboild]

We've got our own issues on both ends right now but I already hate the way this game is being called. The whistle is practically blowing before the contact on a lot of these plays.

 

[SLAB]

I know I’m a broken record, but Someone... Can anyone give me ONE basketball reasons (aka not Walton being inept) why Whiteside hasn’t been playing?

 

[Livinthedream]

Kanter got punked.

 

[hrdboild]

That's why you play Whiteside coach!
