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

Fox has been getting better by the game this year. He has not reached his ceiling.

Great start for the Kings and especially Buddy.

The Fox step back 3 is a good shot......really

And people were calling for his head with impunity! Saying Tyrese should replace him in ballhandling duty!

Fox has been getting better by the game this year. He has not reached his ceiling.

I actually think he played poorly yesterday, despite his efficient 24 (?) points.

My biggest gripe is he has been falling asleep a lot on defense

 

[Woot!]

Remember how Buddy was slumping miserably until a few games ago?

He's now shooting 41% from 3. 18-29 in his last 3+ games.

 

[dude12]

Is the point in the first Q where Walton is itching to get Bagley out and Cojo in?

 

[Volblorx8634]

In this COVID year, they gonna try to make as many sales as possible everywhere else I'd imagine... haha

A fair point, but what's their non-COVID year excuse? haha

 

[Tetsujin]

That’s only a foul because Butler missed

 

[KainLear]

They doubling Buddy, possibly banking on him making ill-advised decisions. Let's see how Buddy adjusts to it.

 

[Volblorx8634]

Two clear things to me so far:

1. Miami is trying to attack the paint as they usually do. Whiteside may be very useful tonight.

2. Miami is trying to hide Robinson on Bagley. I wanna see the Kings get Bagley in positions to take advantage of that mismatch.

 

[dude12]

Wow...Kyle guy in

 

[Tetsujin]

Random Kyle Guy appearance

 

[SLAB]

KYLE GUY WTF?

 

[KainLear]

Kyle Guy sighting?

 

[SLAB]

Also; one for Hassan’s punchcard on the defense before Guy’s three.

 

[KainLear]

Trying to outgun the Heat's guards?

Yeah, teams have done it all year. They are scared of him hitting that Curry shot off the curl. I don't think teams are gambling on him losing it much, it's more about him not shooting it. If every team is hoping for the turnover then they are making a bad gamble. He'll have some games of crazy numbers but on average he's at 1.8 on the season.

 

[Woot!]

Heck of a 3 by Guy. Didn't look like a good shot under the circumstances, but if he can hit that w/any regularity...

 

[SLAB]

SPIKED

 

[dude12]

Hassan bloooooock

 

[Tetsujin]

Hassan chop!

 

[Kingz19]

Team has been looking very good

 

[iowamcnabb]

Is Fox out?

 

[dude12]

See.....Kyle Guy needs to play some short stints with the right guys around him because the defense knows he’s a knock down shooter. Utilize that skill set

 

[SLAB]

Hassan is one of the few players that can almost soar for blocks but can barely muster enough energy on offense to dunk it. Lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Tyrese just in complete control on offense. We’re finally running the offense through him, which must be another Monte suggestion.

 

[Livinthedream]

I like the Whiteside and Bagley pairing. Especially if Bags can hit the 3.

 

[KainLear]

SLAB... I think you might be right all along... Hassan Whiteside is the key to our success.
