[Game] Kings vs. Grizzlies 10/24/18, 7PM PST, 10 PM EST

[Kingz19]

Surprised Grant hasn’t done any plugs for “2 for 1 if you hurry” on the radio

 

[dude12]

Amazing we are only down 8 at the half

 

[Kingsfan23]

Because those are the only two guys with a pulse out there? Lol

Bagley has been better than both, and he’s the part of the future

 

[Amiga]

buddy smh

 

[Kingz19]

Man, I don’t think I can stomach a full year of this rebounding

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings only down 8 despite Bjeli literally being the only guy on our team not sucking.

 

[VF21]

They're tired. It shows with almost every step. I'll be satisfied if they come out in the second half and refuse to blown out. This game ain't over yet, though, and I'm not about to put a fork in them over an 8 point deficit.

 

[Ozymandias]

Fox has been solid. As long as he keeps racking up FT's good things should follow.

Seeing as their 1/7 from 3, an 8 point lead seems shallow.

 

[SacTownGrantFan]

Missed the beginning of the game, but from what I see:

McLemore -8 in 4 minutes.
Giles -10 in 6 minutes.
Mason -13 in 6 minutes.

The Kings starters are actually in the plus.

I think that explains most of this game so far.

 

[Kingsfan2002]

I’m sorry but we need to pull the trigger on more 3’s.

And set up more. This is silly. 7 so far? That bothers me more than the defense.

I’ve accepted that defensively we’re not gonna be good this year.

 

[Ozymandias]

Lets see MB3 at SF today. Why not?

I'm in the get marvin 30 minutes by any means necessary boat already.

 

[Tetsujin]

Also think Justin's had an alright performance as well. Hasn't scored much but has had a couple of hockey assists and has been trying to rebound unlike some of our other guys *coughWCScoughbuddy*

 

[burekijogurt]

Bagley has been better than both, and he’s the part of the future

he is part of the future but he is not better than either in this game. he has the lowest +- (-15) on the team, is shooting a lower percentage than both, has less (or equal) rebounds then both, has less or equal blocks than both. and I'm not even gonna talk about assists.

 

[RaY Z]

Look sluggish out there. Might be due to the game last night, but hopefully they wake up in the 2nd half. Down by 8 is not bad considering.

 

[VF21]

Tonight is a night when having Bogs out there could definitely make a difference.

 

[Ozymandias]

Man, I don’t think I can stomach a full year of this rebounding

I'm starting to get the feeling that Wenyen Gabriel could actually help this team on the boards right now. I feel like he'd be fighting for boards that are going uncontested.

 

[Sluggah]

When is Bogdan supposed to be back?

 

[Kingsfan23]

he is part of the future but he is not better than either in this game. he has the lowest +- (-15) on the team, is shooting a lower percentage than both, has less (or equal) rebounds then both, has less or equal blocks than both. and I'm not even gonna talk about assists.

WCS has one board because he has no paint presence and wasn’t protecting the rim. Marvin had to play with Harry

Beli may be more arguable but I thought Marvin was the lively body

 

[Ozymandias]

Tonight is a night when having Bogs out there could definitely make a difference.

The loss of Shumpert was felt in that first half for sure too.

 

[VF21]

It's easy to forget we're watching the first few games of a very young team. I see something to build on with every game. As much as I want (like the rest of you) to see WINS, I have to keep reminding myself that they have to walk before they can run.

Totally different subject: Has anybody seen even a glimpse of Z-Bo? I don't see him in the "team huddles" and I don't see him on the bench when the camera pans by.

 

[Ozymandias]

Fox is doing damn good vs COnley, they were jawing at each other for a while before it seemed.

 

[VF21]

When is Bogdan supposed to be back?

From the player notes in my fantasy league:

Bogdan Bogdanovic (left knee) is hopeful to get back to the court for Sacramento's home game against Toronto on November 7.

 

[Tetsujin]

Aside from forgetting Temple is not on the team anymore, it's been a nice start to the half for the Kings.

 

[VF21]

Nice job by WCS on Gasol.

 

[VF21]

Lot of Gasol flopping going on. Nice to see the refs swallowing their whistles - at least for now.

 

[SLAB]

Doug is just so cringe man...it’s hard to ignore

Unfortunately.... yes.

His unique energy is best utilized as a part timer like last season.

 

[VF21]

WCS and Bjelly together make me smile.

 

[lwc]

Is Fox owning the 3rd quarter like the play by play transcript suggests? Head had 6 points and 3 dimes in 5 minutes

 

[Tetsujin]

Do they sell Bjeli jerseys in Japan?

 

[VF21]

Unfortunately.... yes.

His unique energy is best utilized as a part timer like last season.

I couldn't possibly disagree more.
