Gentry has been a class act in his comments regarding Luke's competency, but he has quietly made moves creating major shifts in players buy-in, passion, attitudes, and usage. I was worried by the not gonna change a thing comments initially, but see now that this was maturity and finesse in action.

Take a month off, would you
I didn't for a second believe he agreed with everything Luke did but it really makes you wonder how all these other folks couldn't get Luke to coach remotely competently.

It's tough to sway the head guy from his "style" with rotations and lineups
Better pray Fox becomes Dame then cos if not we gonna be 8-10 seed for a longggg time
There aren't enough quotes to wrap around Luke's "style".

On the contrary, attacking their bigs down the middle with the pick and roll might be the best course of action because Dwight and DJ are slow as hell and AD is afraid of playing center. Richaun could have a big night against them
That's the metric they are looking at. lol

That's a really good quote right there. Says a couple different things. One being that he is open minded and flexible
If we had lost it would be "ALEX LEN REFUSES TO CHECK IN!1!"
That's how you build real team chemistry. Real unselfish from Len to say that and give up his minutes and great on Gentry for rewarding Jones for his strong play.

I'm primarily concerned with defensive end of the floor, which is the most important end for centers. And I don't think I agree that Howard is slow. Hopefully, AD is still recovering from the flu bug. I don't think he's against playing guys the size of Holmes. He just doesn't like banging with the big boys.
Good fun win tonight. I especially liked the fans standing at the end of the game. One step at a time.

I think the NBA should allow Alvin to wear house slippers on the sideline. It just fits.

Great game and great win. I like gentry letting the bench guys stay in and finish what they started. fox with an efficient game, 7 guys in double figures and DJ with 9, our bench outscoring portland's (loved seeing bagley and DJ stepping it up) and everyone picking up the slack with important guys out due to various reasons.This really felt like a team win.
Went to my 1st game this year, we’re given mid court tickets 6 rows up….sweet seats, great game
A couple of observations
I’ve said it before but Damian Jones is our best defensive center, so glad Gentry kept him in and at the game it looked like Len was trying to go in several times but now afterwards,I see that Len was saying keep Jones in….a great teammate
It’s weird that Bagley stays near the tunnel when he’s not in the game for periods of time but then goes and sits back down at times too, but Bags had some great moments, a lot of people there pulling for the kid.
Fox was tremendous when he played. He absolutely does not get the same calls that Dame does. The ejection was lame. I mean, the refs did not have a great game tonight
Nurkic was a beast
Davions best game in awhile even though the refs were calling fouls against him because he dared play great D on Dame
Buddy giveth and he taketh, when he makes 3’s it’s so good, when he misses 3’s it always seemed like it led to a basket by Portland
For all the good things Hali does, him continually passing up 3’s leads to stretches of poor offense and bad possessions and he also makes some poor decisions out there mixed in with his good plays.
Pace, pace, pace and then make enough defensive plays when it counts
And finally, Gentry >>>>>>>>>>> Walton. I can’t put enough greater than signs in there

Holmes did not play (eye injury).
Barnes suffered a “foot injury” in the 3rd quarter and did not return.

And you’re just now noticing it? Those dam refs go into ref mode against the Kings every single game !!

it just doesn’t make sense a guy that literally played in the NBA can’t figure out what wins games. I get that not if not most former players end up being good coaches but man we looked straight awful as a BASKETBALL team under Walton. The offense had zero flow and the defense spoke for itself

i definitely see that he’s a more competent coach then Walton (which isn’t saying much) but he’s trying to see who wants to play and the “Igaf how much you get paid” mentality is a good one if he genuinely executes it.
I agree Bagley was awesome in this game.
