[Game] Kings vs. Clippers, 1/15/21 7pm PST, 10pm EST

[SLAB]

He got fooled by a great move, but Bags is looking fully engaged on defense.

Took HASSAN’S words to heart.

 

[dude12]

Bagley doing a solid job on D....no seriously

 

[dude12]

I’m predicting we fans will be upset by ref mode

 

[Woot!]

Tie score, but feels like the Kings working harder for a decent shot. Or is that just my worried eyes?

 

[SLAB]

It was injuries the first two years. It’s the coach his third year.

 

[Livinthedream]

The kids going to be alright.

 

[Entity]

Anybody else’s league pass just go off?

 

[Sluggah]

I like this Bagley version.

 

[dude12]

Anyone else lose the game on Directv?

 

[Sluggah]

Not here.

 

[SLAB]

Is that Metu again?

Bjeli DONE. And I’m more than okay with it.

 

[Kingz19]

Metu again

Must be having great practices or they are rubbing Bjeli’s nose in the demotion

 

[Jkbiker]

Leonard has 2 3s gets fouled at 3 pt line and he gets around Bagley for a layup I’m confused that’s good D by Bagley?

 

[Entity]

Anyone else lose the game on Directv?

Yea I did

 

[kb02]

Anyone else lose the game on Directv?

Not here. Nevermind, I'm on Comcast.

 

[Tetsujin]

I find it odd that the only non-obvious young players Walton has played are both two-way dudes (DQJ and Metu) and not the young draft picks

 

[SLAB]

Oh boy, CoJo!

I cannot wait until he’s banished to the Bjeli shadow realm.

The first three Bagley got hung up on a screen and Kawhi was wide open. That play was bad. But he also stayed in front of Kawhi on the drive and forced a tough shot and generally looks suprisingly up to the task of guarding one of the league's better one on one scorers. He's not a stopper yet or anything, but he looks like he's growing into being a competent defender. Bagley in this game already has a blocked shot, a three, and has done well defending in space on the perimeter. Hyperbole aside, it's exciting to see him growing as a player.

Well, Leonard only has one three. And that layup (post move, really) was after Bagley stayed with him for about 10 seconds.

Watching the game, his defense was quite good outside of two mistakes, one on dipping too far into the paint, and the foul trying to get through the screen.

 

[hrdboild]

Wow Batum, thanks for not taking that wide open 10 footer and instead passing it into a tougher contested post shot!

 

[SLAB]

METUMANIA RUNNING WILD

 

[hrdboild]

Hey @Tetsujin can you please take your finger off the Corey Joseph key now?

 

[Tetsujin]

An Xavier McDaniel reference early

 

[Tetsujin]

Got the blue screen of death instead

 

[Kingz19]

Metu eating

 

[hrdboild]

Got the blue screen of death instead

Dammit! Time to pull the cord.

 

[Tetsujin]

Metu and Bagley have accounted for like half of the Kings offense

 

[Capt. Factorial]

This team is having a Metumorphosis.

 

[Tetsujin]

CoJo making the boneheaded Buddy mistake to close the quarter

 

[SLAB]

Go away, CoJo.
