Kings vs Hawks, 1/5/2022 7pm PT/10pm ET

[Capt. Factorial]

So, it looks like no Trae, no Collins, no Reddish, no Bogdan, no Hunter. So we're playing the "Hawks", I guess. Go Kings!

 

[Sluggah]

But…is Tetsujin good?

Imagine Clint Capela's stubborn presence will have us jacking enough deep 3's to keep them in with a shot.

 

[SacTownKid]

Lets see if the trade news was an attempt by the starless Hawks to catch the Kings not caring, lol.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

But…is Tetsujin good?

I don't know. I hope so, but he hasn't logged in for 10 days.

And I get to listen to Wilkins a man that knows very little about the opposing team. When he said last year after buddy missed a couple threes. Wilkins said that’s just out of his range.

 

[Sluggah]

I don't know. I hope so, but he hasn't logged in for 10 days.

Wait what trade news?

Looks like the Reddish part was either a mental typo or a bad injury report, because he's starting.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Not the home team wearing white!

 

[SacTownKid]

Well, no energy so far.

 

[SacTownKid]

Wait what trade news?

The rumors that Amick put out about the Kings being "open for business" and nobody is untouchable. Which always sends a great vibe through an eggshell laden locker room. haha.

 

[Woot!]

Is "3 seconds" still a thing?

 

[SacTownKid]

Tyrese might have a chance to get some good looks off pick and roll tonight. The Hawks are playing drop on those and allowing him to get a run at the rim.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Is "3 seconds" still a thing?

Nah. The officials only consult the rulebook when the clock starts early and nobody has possession of the ball yet.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Indeed. Kings look like they're playing with that "**** it, I might not even be here tomorrow" energy.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Nah. The officials only consult the rulebook when the clock starts early and nobody has possession of the ball yet.

One out of eighty-two, man. You gotta be like a goldfish.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Is goldfish bitter, bitter meat?

 

[Woot!]

HB WIIIIIDE open for the 3 if Marvin swings it there.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Bagley did a decent job showing on that pick, but the rotation onto Capela was late.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Good ball movement on that possession; good pace, too.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Fox needs to hit Len on that rim run

 

[Section 101]

Off night giving himself an off night.

 

[Woot!]

Raggedy.

 

[SacTownKid]

The tale of two mirrored franchises. Both so inept that they would bury lotto picks rather than trading them for value initially just so they could have their cake and eat it too while stacking positions in free agency and cementing their cap with marginal role guys over those lotto picks, lol. The only difference is the Hawks timed their midseason coaching transition better. It was just a flash but they were a textbook example of how it can work short term at least and the Kings are about how much of a total fail it is hanging on too long.

 

[Sluggah]

If you’re shooting over 40% on threes…please take wide open threes.

 

[Woot!]

There has GOT to be a better offensive role for a 42% 3-ppt shooter (HB) than having him repeatedly sitting in the corner and being ignored.

Cripes.

 

[Woot!]

There ya go. Apparently, I just need to gripe more.

 

[Section 101]

So at the game. I estimate it's about 30% full. I couldn't sell my tickets at a 40% discount.

 

[SacTownKid]

There ya go. Apparently, I just need to gripe more.

They need to start looking at HB more. He was pretty much the single reason the team looked good at the start of the year. He's not a selfish type but when teams ignore him, make them pay.
