Some insanely lazy "defense and rebounding" to end this half

 

[Tetsujin]

Is Tyrese hurt or something?

Why does our broadcast team not travel? I thought it was league wide until tonight I am watching Memphis broadcast and they are in Sacramento and we’re on court pregame. So what does our broadcast team call games from video when outside of Sacramento

 

[Tetsujin]

De'Aaron is way too strong for Morant right now. All that weight room work finally paying off (30 games into the season)

Gentry probably forgot he existed. Alvin is 117 years old

lolzzz

Well, I'm not very happy with Gentry. He's back to using Haliburton/Fox as a luxury combo. Hardly playing together.

NBC Sports isn't letting its crews travel. Balley Sports is.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Well, as many suspected...we haven't seen the same version of Haliburton so far. He did get dinged up, so we'll see

 

[miltonap]

Same story all year. Looks great against undersized bigs, gets destroyed by legit sized bigs.

I mean, JJJ isn't exactly some like huge dude

 

[SacTownKid]

Christie is the only one who apparently knows what Monte is attempting to do. This organization is literally incapable of getting it's sights lined up correctly.

 

[Tetsujin]

Well, as many suspected...we haven't seen the same version of Haliburton so far. We'll see

to be fair, this has entirely been due to him not being as aggressive with his touches and also Gentry sitting him for the entire last half of the second quarter.

The dude still has 7/3/2 though.

6’ll. N easily 240+ now

That makes me feel better.

I would much rather Haliburton out there as an outlet for Fox than Damian Jones or Chimezie Metu. The Grizz are playing the odds like every other team does. They eventually started not even looking at Jones out on the 3. Is Jones going to go for another 28 tonight? As of now, that's about where it will need to come from. The big lineup is catching up in a negative way so if Metu/Jones can't keep the defense honest it's going to be tough to create space for the Kings guards.

 

[Tetsujin]

That makes me feel better.

I heard it was supposed to change at the new year and that the crews were going to start traveling again but who knows if that plan's going to happen at this point.

 

[Volblorx8634]

Yeah, I don't get this. I assume the intention is to stagger their minutes so one of them is always on the floor to run the offense, but I would also want to my two best players some significant minutes on the floor together. The offense is just too one-dimensional at any given time otherwise.

If they can't play most of the game together then this simply won't work long term. Might as well see if they can either get max value out of a Haliburton package after shining under Doug for a few games or get a nice rebuild package for Fox now. Not later. Thanks to Doug Christies couple of games he might have bumped some of the Haliburton value Walton tanked at the start of the season so there is probably an option now at least. If they don't play together, they will just drag eachother down value wise.

 

[kb02]

Gotta move the ball to win this game. Playing a physical game against a more naturally physical team is fools gold.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Grizzlies have never fouled a guy according to their announcers.

 

[Tetsujin]

Adams allowed to clear out but Richaun isn't?

 

[Volblorx8634]

I want to see Tyrese be aggressive like that more. It's fine if you don't have an open shot. Don't be afraid to draw contact and get fouled...but then again today may not be the day for that to pay off.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Also according to the refs

 

[kb02]

Holmes needs to sit rest of 2h

 

[Tetsujin]

RIP THROUGHS ARE OFFENSIVE FOULS NOW

 

[kb02]

Fox really trying to go 1000 miles per hour there

 

[Tetsujin]

How the hell do I know the rules better than the actual officials now?

 

[kb02]

Gentry needs a timeout

 

[Groovygreg]

This G-League ref is terrible. Ja traveled.

 

[kb02]

Because u don’t. U wouldn’t be saying that if u knew the grind it took to make it to the league as a ref.
