Was that Queta on the bench?

 

[Woot!]

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

Sometimes.

 

[kingdivac]

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

I might agree with you but something there seems to be a chip on shoulders a bit tonight....you can see some difference collectively

 

[Woot!]

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.

Yes AND what an indictment.

Lost, what, 6 of last 7; playoff aspirations already in jeopardy; coach they claim to support at risk of losing job; playing at home - and it's worthy of note that they're playing hard tonight.

is this the first game this season where Luke got a technical for his team?

I haven't seen all the games.

 

[Woot!]

I say it again: I see nothing wrong w/Fox physically: he's just missing more than he did last year at every level. But he's getting good shots, almost every one - and he can get that in-the-lane 10-footer at will.

Who was supposed to be on Gatorade and orange slices duty? Where's @6th, when we need her?

 

[The Effort Police]

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

95% of the time what people call no effort is the other team exploiting some flaw in their personnel and thus making them look lethargic and disinterested based on the lack of success.

Almost all of these guys go full tilt for as much as their bodies can handle it.

What happened the last five games is that for all 48 minutes they went with an easily exploitable lineup that gets killed on switches.

He's playing harder tonight on defense than most if not all of the prior nights the last 2 weeks.

No, its a simple eye test - overthinking it

ESPN's attendance page claims we've averaged 14K fans, which is near the bottom, but judging from the broadcast that seems way too high? Or maybe I'm just a bad judge of crowds.

 

[kingdivac]

I like Len on Gobert defensively.....but pay on offense.

way too high

 

[SacTownKid]

Metu guarding Bogdanovic is a tough matchup but he's working about as hard as he can out there.

 

[kingdivac]

refs calling more bumps

 

[Woot!]

Could the difference in the two offenses be more stark?

 

[kingdivac]

FT!!!!

 

[kingdivac]

GREAT D!!!!

Cheers

 

[iowamcnabb]

well that was a fun stretch. Solid overall play from the guys

 

[Woot!]

They are definitely fed up.

As they should be.

This may be their defensive game so far.....if they lose the game playing like, no problem whatsoever.

Metu works hard. No doubt about that. And has generally done nice work on the boards in his return to the rotation.

 

[Npliam]

Sorry I am late...

Go Jazz!

Yeh us fans have low expectations for quality play and entertainment value

 

[kingdivac]

Uh-oh Harkless in....

 

[Woot!]

4-14 vs. 12-26 from 3.

Credit the Kings for staying in this w/that kind of 3-pt shooting disparity.

 

[kingdivac]

I like Len - deserves more PT
