[Game] Kings vs. Heat, 2/18/21, 7pm PST, 10pm EST

Definitely not the biggest of our problems just need to say that Fox's off-ball defense is pretty atrocious.

 

[dude12]

Justin James defense >>>>>> Cojo defense

 

[SLAB]

Work those phones HARD tonight Monte.

 

[steelevt]

Trade value rising...to the moon!

 

[dude12]

Sweet trade Bjeli to Miami

 

[Groovygreg]

Some quality performances by Bagley and the Kings’ bench, but otherwise abysmal in terms of offensive and defensive execution.

 

[SacTownKid]

It's odd seeing Justin James and DaQuan out there. It almost looks like defense with those two. Wait, it is!

 

[SacTownKid]

Work those phones HARD tonight Monte.

And a face to face with your coach is long overdue. The ball has bounced right back over to you. Hahaha, he thought he got rid of it. Think again.

Vlade is so jelly right now. He can taste the 2025 2nd rounders coming Monte's way.

So many late second rounders to spend on Euroleague backups who will never come over to the NBA, so little time.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Miami 70 pts in the paint?

 

[Hoovtrain]

What I want to know is why did we start sending in the scrubs as soon as we got within ten?

see post #180

#GetthatJohnson ...uh, nvm.

Keep everyone under the age of 25 and jettison everything else into the Sun (in this case traded for picks and assets)

 

[sactowndog]

I think it’s clear

considering Woodard went 3-10 and 0-4 from 3..... we could use Kuminga

Such a waste. They have to know what's up. Vivek is otherwise paying millions and millions for total incompetence and worse than ever before. And it's not even a theory at this point. It's proven. We saw the turnaround. It happened. And now they go right back to what NEVER worked? Something is up if this isn't plain incompetence and it isn't part of their plan.

They're tanking. It's in the body language of Fox.

It's obvious when all the starters go down due to injury in the same week.

 

[kingsboi]

when your teams leading scorer on the night is Bjelica you can automatically book the L. hopefully some team out there wants him because the Kings are obviously showcasing him after not having him play for what has to be two months.

And conversely, Bagley’s body language was opposite as he has something to prove....was active. Bjelica was primed for his Miami showcase.

Do you mean house Kings-Suns?

 

[The_Jamal]

If I’m a terrible team, I’m playing the 25 year old offensive minded PF who plays no defense over the 32 year old offensive minded PF that plays no defense... but I guess that’s just me.

Nah. Need to get that Bjelica shine going for a contender to trade for him. Parker is basically on his way out of the league at this point.

 

[DynaPamm]

Buddy is one of the worst decision-makers on the basketball court that I’ve ever seen.

I lost track how many stupid turnovers he had and them making points SMH

pathetic

 

[DynaPamm]

If you don't like that, you don't like KINGS basketball!

Thanks for the laugh! OMFG I needed it after watching this piece of crap game

 

[Reverend]

Once again we are the laughing stock of the league and all feels normal again in the world

This is Viveks 8th year as the owner and he has never once embraced a full on rebuild. He brought in Darren Collison and Rudy Gay during the Cousins era. Immediately brought in George Hill and Zach Randolph to start the Fox era. Now is trying get this current roster to work for some reason. He has an insane obsession with trying to get the 8th seed. Anybody with half a brain could tell this team is going nowhere as is. I just don’t get it.
