[Game] Kings vs. Heat, 1/30/21, 5pm PST, 8pm EST

[SLAB]

Holmes is very feast/famine. He has great games. But also completely disappears from time to time. I like him, but not as a long-term starter.

 

[Kingz19]

Kings look tired. Shooting nothing but threes this quarter. Not looking good

 

[Volblorx8634]

Problem with Holmes is so much of his effectiveness comes from his energy. Seems like when he isn't playing well, that energy disappears and he's totally ineffective.

 

[Woot!]

The Kings shooting 57% form 3 on 21 shots - makes me uneasy that that's what it takes from them to be up 2. 2 shots in 24 min from the center position. Richaun has 4 shot attempts in his last 38 minutes of play. That's the league leader in shooting %. Gotta give you hustling', sweet-push-shot-shootin' big man some touches, kids.

AAAAND... Rican gets his first shot attempt off an O-rebound.

 

[Tetsujin]

Holmes’s failure to get back in transition leads to Fox’s fourth foul.

 

[kingdivac]

Kings only with 7 FT attempts through 2.5 quarters. Mean while Heat with 16....

 

[SLAB]

Oh good, CoJo’s in to fix the offense!

Way too much chucking. I know Fox is a much improved shooter, but that doesn't excuse how often he settles for a contested 3 with 14 left on the shot clock. And with Adebayo defending?

 

[Kingz19]

I’d like to see Ty do more going to the hoop. Usually good things happen

 

[Volblorx8634]

Yes, the refs haven't been great, but that's also what happens when you stop attacking the basket in the second half.

 

[Tetsujin]

Refs got money on the Heat tonight

 

[SLAB]

Lol foul on Guy. Give me a break.

 

[Kingz19]

The defender gets to be somewhere

 

[iowamcnabb]

We are clearly tired. Let’s stay close and try to steal it at the end.

 

[Volblorx8634]

That's the one Luke should've challenged

 

[Kingz19]

Ty has a JJ level floater. He should use it more

 

[KainLear]

Why are these "refs are bad" comments seem to always be applicable in every game?

 

[Telemachus]

If the refs are only going to call fouls against one team, then why make them play the game?

 

[Kingz19]

That’s a 5 point swing, Doug

 

[Tetsujin]

Kyle Guy clearly better than CoJo at this point.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Wtf

 

[Tetsujin]

Cut CoJo

 

[kingdivac]

Kings may need Buckets to make a big 4th quarter appearance to have some fight left. Can he follow up his best game with another offensive outpour....

 

[iowamcnabb]

Dazed and Confused with the dagger

 

[SLAB]

CoJo loves driving into 7 defenders and throwing up garbage, doesn’t he?

 

[SacTownKid]

This is another instance where for some reason Walton is refusing to play small for long stretches. They saved themselves at the end of the first half playing small!

 

[Kingz19]

Guy is probably only getting a lot of burn because their smaller players don’t control the ball, but he would be ideal playing next to Ty

 

[KainLear]

If the refs are only going to call fouls against one team, then why make them play the game?

"Every player has to earn his respect with the refs" is a concept I've always had to explain to my non-basketball friends.

 

[SacTownKid]

And when he does go small it's with 3 small, smallish guards. haha.

 

[dude12]

Kyle Guy seems happy as hell that he’s getting to be on the floor
