[Game] Kings vs. Grizzlies, 2/14/21, 7pm PST, 10pm EST

[Tetsujin]

Why the **** did we switch on that possession. Jesus Christ basketball isn't that hard.

 

[Reverend]

Does Danny Ainge still want Harrison? Can we get him on the phone

 

[Rob-The-Great]

I think his injury really effed up our momentum, that's all. We can get it back

He was only out 1 game. We have no scheme

 

[SacTownKid]

See, that Buddy to Holmes push shot play is a great example of Lukes land of wasted motion. Almost every shot they get out of their motions sets can be gotten out of a single action play with plenty of time on the clock. You want a push shot? Good, middle pick and roll will get it done in one go, not 3 actions.

 

[iowamcnabb]

We are back in the “let’s get down to ten” part of our season haha

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Man rook need to change those shoes

 

[iowamcnabb]

Shouldn't have signed that shoe deal with Swiffer.

and we thought you were joking

 

[SacTownKid]

They had a scheme, unfortunately it wasn't the one Luke wanted to rely on. So right back to motion horse **** they go. Man, Luke certainly knows how to disappoint. One little glimpse of sunshine and he finds a way to flush it. We've allowed him to fool us 3 times over a year and a half now. I'm done. Can't trust the dude.

 

[SLAB]

Blech.... I have negative love for Bjeli being back.

 

[Tetsujin]

What the hell is Bjeli back in for?

 

[Iced Espresso]

Tillman, we traded him from 35 for the 40 & a future second right?

He looks a lot older than he is, grown.

 

[SLAB]

What the hell is Bjeli back in for?

Unlock the cage on a mediocre vet and you know Walton’s going to go goggle-eyed at the thought.

 

[Tetsujin]

I repeat what the **** is Bjeli back in for???

 

[dude12]

Terrible

 

[SacTownKid]

On that Bjelica offensive foul play. Not a single pnr action. WTF. hahaha.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Well. I was right about there score and everything else except.

Fox settled for jumpers instead of attacking at will.
Buddy did not get hot

But Whiteside disappeared
Holmes and Barnes where average (or below)

Grizz scored 62 points

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

4-24 from three. That's just atrocious.

 

[Tetsujin]

Luke's odd decision to go back to an offense that minimizes De'Aaron's possessions on offense is a fireable offense.

 

[Kingz19]

Looking like fools gold again. For now on, these guys need to get 10 games over .500 before they get me all excited again. Terrible

 

[Iced Espresso]

4-24 from three. That's just atrocious.

Buddy & Fox combined 1-13.....

 

[SacTownKid]

Luke gonna Luke. Both ends is right back in the crapper for the same reasons. And that PACE rating should be dropping in due time as well.

 

[Tetsujin]

It's like Luke's afraid of hurting his role players feelings so he decides to keep running this motion horn set offense instead of going to a pick and roll system that would see the ball in De'Aaron's hands the majority of the time.

 

[NewArena]

I hate this coach

 

[Iced Espresso]

Doug said it many times & many ways, we need to start scrapping to get back in this. Getting bullied, counter with matador defense. We need to start there right away after halftime.

 

[NewArena]

Wtf is a motion offense anyway? Luke doesn’t even do that right. We’ve been seeing this high post dribble handoff crap fail for the last 15 years. Is that a Sacramento requirement or something

 

[SLAB]

So do we come out in the third a HOUSE A FIRE or after drinking a gallon of the Luke Juice at half?

 

[SacTownKid]

Well. I was right about there score and everything else except.

Grizz scored 62 points

It all comes down to the way the Grizz are being allowed to defend and where the offense is coming from. The reason the Kings were so dangerous in pick and roll is because it forces the other teams to play up which takes the defense out of De'Aarons exact area of domination. Then as a result they let him play above the screen which is 3 point city. They are too busy running Buddy and Harrison off of screen plays so they can swing back up and wasting clock in the process. This is literally Lukes horns garbage back from the dead, lol.

Luke's got them taking hits off the rally bong in the locker room as we speak.

The role players were doing great in it. The only role player who got his feelings hurt was Luke Walton. haha.

 

[dude12]

Off topic for this game thread but it looks like Harry Giles got injured....not sure what It is but it was non-contact and he was reaching towards his Achilles.
