Talk about a statement game!

 

[hrdboild]

The kid is good! Real good! Big statement games from Marvin and Tyrese today. Btw, I missed the first half, what happened with Fox?

 

[KingsCitizen]

Haliburton is special! Dang Jackpot for Monte!

Pulled his hammy. It’s a shame because we really could have used him on White.

Tight hamstring. Don't think they have said more than that.

 

[Volblorx8634]

How did he drop to us?

11 GMs Vlade’d?

Wasn't that the whole thing with his agent telling teams not to draft him cuz he doesn't want to play there and wanted to be in sacramento?

 

[Tetsujin]

People said Haliburton’s ceiling would be an elite role player but the dude is out here dominating and Luka is proving you don’t need to be an elite athlete to be a star in the modern league.

Bagley getting shafted again in the 4th Q again lol. Dude should just head to the locker room after the 3rd from now on.

Right. This time around he definitely deserved more minutes in crunch time.

 

[Kingz19]

“Billy Donovan is still upset about something”

Probably the Bulls passing on Tyrese Haliburton

Also

Tyrese has 0 turnovers in 34 minutes.

 

[kb02]

Hali back, Kings win. EASY.

 

[Tetsujin]

Tyrese is gonna singlehandedly save Luke Walton’s job.

 

[iowamcnabb]

THAT was fun. THAT is entertainment and a welcome distraction. Even with ridiculous games from White Lavine we played hard and made big plays to pull it off. Haliburton is the player this franchise and the fan base deserves. Congratulations us!

 

[mac]

Buddy is strange this year. He's playing better defense than Joseph but arguably shooting worse. haha.

He observed the key to cracking Walton's rotations

CoJo likes that a lot.

Whiteside and Bagley don’t. Lol

 

[O0chieboomboom]

Hali should be in the starting five.... it’s a whole different team when he’s on the floor

 

[Groovygreg]

How was Tyrese not the #1 draft prospect for 2020?

 

[Iced Espresso]

Bulls fans loved Haliburton, he's getting a lot of respect from their fans.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Without Haliburton Kings would be lost and I would be uninterested watching team probably struggle too much. Amazing 4Q with BIG 15pts and overall dynamic play both ends by the rook.

 

[SacTownKid]

Haha! so true.

 

[Tetsujin]

How was Tyrese not the #1 draft prospect for 2020?

He was a sophomore and the other guys were freshmen

 

[mac]

In all seriousness though, I wonder if Buddy has bulked up too much. His shot and layups just seem way off, like he's completely lacking the touch

Looking like a modern day Dennis Johnson out there. Just simply making his team work.

 

[Sluggah]

Tyrese is gonna singlehandedly save Luke Walton’s job.

His only flaw.

 

[hrdboild]

It's especially impressive that Tyrese has done all this in the 4th quarter with the game on the line after getting nearly blanked from the field before that. At no point did he look rattled that his shots weren't dropping and then he turned it on and won this game for us. And it's only the 6th official game of his NBA career? Very impressive.

I was actually worried about that when I saw him in preseason. Alot of those ripped dudes lose range of motion.

 

[joemama]

Beal career night
Hayward career night
Brogdon career night
Who is having the career night for the kings?
Fox? Rese?

I called it (post #30). Ty3se with a career night.

Draper stole Breen’s line

 

[SacTownKid]

He shouldn't have dropped to 12 but also he's not super comfortable creating his own offense and doesn't have a true scorers type of game. He has a good stroke and a step back though so when you couple that with being able to run pnr role you aren't a liability offensively from an individual standpoint in fact you can be very good. He found the right team and the right team found someone that can fit right into their future. Unfortunately Bagley and him aren't getting a ton of minutes to develop a game. They could be a seamless fit from the looks of what we saw tonight.

shooting the ball with that much muscle feels like you're shooting it with one of those miniature sized nerf balls so it's no wonder he has that set shot
