It’s a great opportunity to play Woodard extended minutes

 

[Tetsujin]

I dunno if there’s a mandate to play CoJo to boost his trade value or something but it isn’t working.

 

[Kingz19]

Well, it’s a blowout and looks like Ty is on his way to his first clunker as a pro.

More CoJo and Robinson III you say????

 

[kb02]

Metu doesn't really pass does he?

The sad thing is, he's probably the best passer out of the Bags, Holmes, and Metu.

It's hard playing 1 against 5.

Funny it happened the same game Luke game-planned him into the corner in favor of CoJo for some reason.

 

[SLAB]

By the way... Does Jabari Parker still exist?

 

[kb02]

Fox has been out of this game since the 6 min mark of the third. He needs to be in this game. This blowout needs to be personal.

 

[Tetsujin]

CoJo now lacking the laterally quickness to stay in front of large wings who have a history of horrible leg injuries. A

 

[kb02]

Kings get a defensive stop. 11 mins into the third. Lolzzzz.

 

[Kingz19]

If the Kings still had Yogi Ferrell, Ty would have at least 10 more assists on the season for all the wide open bricks he’s set up for Joseph.

 

[chief bromden]

Hes probably just avoiding Luke

 

[hrdboild]

Alright rook, the 4th quarter is your quarter, time to take us home with a new career high!

 

[Tetsujin]

I have never seen a team as bad at halftime adjustments as the Luke Walton Kings

 

[SacTownKid]

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

I never understand this logic. They are going to fret over a few million extra to Gentry (if even that) when they will pay Cory Joseph 12 million a year? Or pick up Beli's option at nearly 8? Nah.

So...the Kings currently have the worst DRtg (points allowed per 100 possessions) in NBA history. That's not exactly fair, because teams score more points now with the rise of the three-point shot. But in terms of DRtg relative to league average...we're still the worst in NBA history, going all the way back to 1950 which is when we can first calculate DRtg.

The worst defense.

In NBA history.

In NBA history.

 

[Tetsujin]

Lol starters back in for some reason.

 

[chief bromden]

Why are the starters back??

 

[SLAB]

Why are the starters back??

Cut the lead in half, make the game look more respectable, live to not be fired another day.

I'm liking this comment for the research but to be clear, I do not like this at all! Selling out to defend the paint is oddly ineffective when other teams are shooting 40 threes a game. Go figure!

 

[Tetsujin]

Barnes has been abjectly terrible today

Wowza! And the Kings are the only team that I've seen specifically commit to defending this way in the last few years. Jeffries being out and Baze being gone does hurt though because their size and switchability mattered and Walton appeared to trust them.

 

[SLAB]

Barnes has been abjectly terrible today

was just about to comment about his game tonight. Not pretty. Weirdly tunnel visioned.

 

[SacTownKid]

I'm seeing a totally different attitude after half by everyone. Amazingly clear.

 

[kb02]

Buddy quit.

Watch his movement.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Our Defense has a lot to do with it but it would be nice not to run into a buzz saw every week. We can’t win against teams shooting 60 percent from the field.

 

[SacTownKid]

I'm just hanging in to see our customary 3 minutes of Ramsey and Woodard, lol.

This aint the year to be eating money. The Kings are bleeding.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Is there any chance Walton is gone tonight? Please?
