[Game] Kings vs. Blazers, 11/24/21 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[Tetsujin]

Looks like it’s on RoCo

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Hostile act?

 

[Tetsujin]

Lol why would you even throw your face mask towards the sidelines? Those things are expensive.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Yeah, it wasn't Lillard.

Not sure how throwing mask on ground, mask hits official, "hostile act". I guess that's a rule, but yikes.

 

[Entity]

Is Kayte saying tossed off on purpose?

 

[captain bill]

I get the ejection but ref seemed way too amped up about that lol

 

[SLAB]

lol, genius move RoCo.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'd like to see one of Sacramento's centers screen an opposing center, the way Nurkic just bodied Thompson, to pave the lane for Powell.

 

[SacTownKid]

Why double? Always switch these. They need to break a lot of his back down to basics. Just switch everything until you get some defensive cohesion.

 

[Tetsujin]

Buddy completely losing his man in zone. Don’t mind him helping inwards but he probably didn’t need to go cross court like that.

 

[Woot!]

Not great defense so far but not really that bad either. The Blazers just can't miss right now.

You've gotta be kidding. How many virtually uncontested Portland layups would indicate terrible defense?

 

[SacTownKid]

Yeah, it wasn't Lillard.

Not sure how throwing mask on ground, mask hits official, "hostile act". I guess that's a rule, but yikes.

And the truth is if Covington had a different shaped nose, that mask likely rolls some other way and no ejection? I can see if the mask being thrown was the main something but it hitting the ref was the difference? How can he control where it rolls? lol.

 

[Groovygreg]

Gentry on the sideline motioning Fox to pick up the pace.

 

[SacTownKid]

It's been hit and miss since then, but they've been challenging really well on the perimeter. And more than a few of the layups earlier were tough.

Into the locker room for halftime?

 

[kb02]

Taking Blazers -140 to win the 3rd quarter and Kings under 56 in the 2h.

Betting on a few scoring droughts as Fox goes 1 vs 4.

Dude, neither team was playing defense. Look at the score.

The saddest part is it kind of looks like the mask might have five-holed the ref if he hadn't moved his foot.

 

[SacTownKid]

Dude, neither team was playing defense. Look at the score.

There were quite a few tough contested shots that they hit earlier in the game. He quoted a post made 20 minutes or so before, lol. It got a little janky into a free flowing offensive game in that 2nd quarter and they got mixed up on some double teams. They can't be doing that.

There were instances of some faux defense, but when both teams averaged 70 points in 1h, neither team was really trying.

 

[SacTownKid]

What the heck was that Harkless? Wrap him up. smh.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

#HonorableMention Jusuf Nurkic

 

[Tetsujin]

Nurkic

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Nurkic selling these fouls like he works for Jerry Lundegaard.

 

[Tetsujin]

Where has Barnes's shot gone?

 

[SLAB]

I think Nukic is the best player in the league.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kings in the penalty, with nine minutes to go in the quarter.

 

[SacTownKid]

C'mon Tristan, this ain't Shaq here. If Tristan is this overmatched then they need to put in somebody else.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Yeah, five team fouls in under three minutes. Sure.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I think Nukic is the best player in the league.
