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

[Capt. Factorial]

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.

One might argue that the reason teams shoot 60% from the field against us is because of...

 

[chief bromden]

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

Except the clips just seek out Bags each trip down and extend the lead lol

 

[SacTownKid]

Buddy quit.

Watch his movement.

Dude, they all did. I bet Luke tried to coach again. He needed to remember his crown is made of toilet paper.

Forget the score. The lack of pride is the worse thing. Like the team pumps it's chest when they're winning, but they should be clawing in games like this.

 

[Tetsujin]

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!

Luke’s game plans on both sides of the court would work great if this were still the 1980s. Unfortunately it’s 2021 and no one plays like that anymore

 

[chief bromden]

Is there any chance Walton is gone tonight? Please?

I'm afraid to know when if not now

 

[SacTownKid]

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

Haha. I'm sure the implosion in their locker room is more severe. If Vivek is losing money then he already knows there are people ready willing and able to take this burden off his hands.

Buddy's off the ball movement that last few series was appalling.

He coaches like Phil GMs

Has to be.

Pretty certain it's less Vivek and more the co-owners. Vivek has shown a willingness to burn to cash.

Can he take CoJo with him?

From day 1 the talk has been the co-owners want him gone. It's his call to make. If you're burning cash you don't pick up Bjelica's option.

 

[SLAB]

“Luke, he’s gonna pull up that tape.”

And you be sure he’s going to review the hell out of it.

Covid.

 

[SacTownKid]

Get your starters off the floor moron!

 

[kb02]

Nah. Leave them in. They need to own this.

 

[SLAB]

Dude’s growing an Elfrid Payton. Good on him.

 

[hrdboild]

kb02, you also hated that last Buddy steal amIright?

EDIT: But not as much as Coach Walton! Straight to the bench with you!

 

[SacTownKid]

Nah. Leave them in. They need to own this.

What they don't need is an unnecessary injury.

 

[Tetsujin]

Nah. Leave them in. They need to own this.

Are we trying to blow a guy’s ACL in this situation?

 

[kingsboi]

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.

that won't be the only history the Kings will make after the conclusion of this season

 

[SLAB]

Bagley only getting 4th quarter minutes when the team is down 30 is something else.

 

[kb02]

They're not running hard enough to blow anything.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

If nobody blows an ACL, who can Walton deflect blame for his terrible defense on?

 

[hrdboild]

Man, look at all these 4th quarter Bagley minutes...

 

[Tetsujin]

Luke absolutely refusing to play the kids in lieu of giving GRIII more minutes for some reason.

 

[SLAB]

Luke absolutely refusing to play the kids in lieu of giving GRIII more minutes for some reason.

Just imagine how ugly this would be if Woodard and Swag had to touch the floor?

I shudder to thing about it...

 

[kb02]

Luke absolutely refusing to play the kids in lieu of giving GRIII more minutes for some reason.

Why develop players who will never play for him?

Bagley only getting 4th quarter minutes when the team is down 30 is something else.

Woodard getting nothing yet is also something.
