[Game] Kings vs. Jazz, 11/20/21 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[macadocious]

There’s legit something going on with Fox. This is bizarre at this point.

 

[kingdivac]

Total ball watching.....

 

[SacTownKid]

The Jazz don't have a ton of great defensive talent but they are smart. They know exactly what the Kings are trying to do. They are making every pass back out to Metu/Barnes a test via the passing lanes.

 

[kingdivac]

Fox comes in and… sigh

Define insanity

 

[Woot!]

Won't keep saying it, but Fox is SOO passive defensively. Compare his defensive posture out there to his teammates'.

PLS sit his a$$!

 

[kb02]

Fox comes in and… sigh

yea. Sigh.

 

[SacTownKid]

Mike Conley is averaging 13.2 ppg this year.

Against the Kings he scored 17 and 30 and has 12 already.

The Kings refuse to pressure and switch pick and roll. Every single pick and roll the Jazz run leads to an open shot either directly around the screen or off of a single pass.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Fox literally doesn’t care it seems like.

 

[kingdivac]

The flatfootness on quite a few Kings defensive possessions this 2Q is crap.....

 

[SacTownKid]

Won't keep saying it, but Fox is SOO passive defensively. Compare his defensive posture out there to his teammates'.

PLS sit his a$$!

Yet, when he's pressuring or attacking the dribble like he did on Rudy he's not so bad. Hmmm.... what's the connection here.

 

[kb02]

The ball movement is dead.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Fox enigma continues with a big 0 pts, 0 just about all other categories. Looks bored and defeated, a bad combination.

 

[Woot!]

Fox literally doesn’t care it seems like.

We can guess about his mental state. What's inarguable is that he sucks right now and is hurting this team on most nights.

 

[kingdivac]

Holy bejeezus does Len know how to Jumpshoot?

 

[SacTownKid]

The ball movement is dead.

Snyder quit playing around and is sinking down in the passing lanes. This is the problem being a team with a side to side passing scheme and a lack of both shooting and/or size to take advantage of it.

 

[SLAB]

Welcome to the land of the living, DeAaron. Please … stay for awhile

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Fox is playing defense what you mean, yea his offense is off but he's def in the game

 

[kingdivac]

Hield'll get tossed if he doesnt watch it...

 

[SacTownKid]

Hey, what do you know, Kings switch pick and roll and Conley has to pass. Fox plays tight on pressure and locks up Mitchell.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

They out here playing today. I'm not angry at the effort

 

[kingdivac]

Finally investing into the game some...... wher was this the last 5 games?.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Challenge it!

 

[kingdivac]

Fox needs to Westbrook it - forget the short teardrops

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Luke never challenged jt when we need it and does when we dont

 

[SacTownKid]

Luke calls out the play, high post to Holmes. Results in turnover. It's the little things that add up. 3 bungles a game on that particular play is a big difference over time.

 

[Woot!]

Yeah, playing SMART shouldn't be too much to ask, but I swear: PLAY. HARD. That should be bare minimum. W/one exception, the guys are playing CONSISTENTLY hard so far tonight. Very nice to see Richaun back in that regard.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Holmes playing like he's tired of getting punked by Gobert.

 

[kingsboi]

Kings played hard in that first half so that means they come out zombie-like to open the third

 

[Woot!]

Fox enigma continues with a big 0 pts, 0 just about all other categories. Looks bored and defeated, a bad combination.

That problem at least has a partial solution: SIT. HIM.

 

[kingdivac]

Kings have had some bad defensive sets and good defensive sets.....they're at least showing a pulse this game on effort. To climb the mountain we'll need to see the sweat Fox had......cant hide sweat.
