[Game] Kings vs Jazz, Wednesday April 28th, 7 PM Pacific (10 PM Eastern)

[Capt. Factorial]

The Jazz are the best team in the NBA by record this year. The Kings are the 24th-best team in the NBA by record this year.

The Jazz will be missing Mike Conley and Donovan Mitchell.

The Kings will be missing De'Aaron Fox, Harrison Barnes, Marvin Bagley, and Robert Woodard.

So you gotta figure the Kings are going to win by 7.

Eek, that last one stings. Interested to see how Luke adjusts his rotation without big Rob suited up today...

 

[Livinthedream]

Who's Robert Woodard? I bet Luke doesn't know.

 

[Spike]

Who's Robert Woodard? I bet Luke doesn't know.

Most Kings fans don't.

METU STARTING ALERT

METU STARTING ALERT

For real?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

METU STARTING ALERT

Not just Metu, Metu AND Holmes. Like, a two-legit-big starting lineup. I...I don't know what this team is anymore!

 

[dude12]

Can we activate Woodard sometime this year now

 

[chief bromden]

Everything in the world changes except for Kings fans calling for a second rounders to get on the court in the spring

Put all the second rounders in!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Do you not think it plausible that Woodard is in fact injured, as he is listed?

I mean, Ramsey is not playing either, and we don't have him listed with a phantom injury to excuse his pine-riding. Why would we phantom-injury Woodard?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

That floater is going to give Tyrese just that next level to his game. One more thing teams have to take away from him.

 

[Tetsujin]

Bojan just Zaza ruled Buddy

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Honestly, I don't think Bogdanovic did that on purpose - it's a flagrant by rule, but I didn't think it was intentional or malicious.

Irrational hope is the bedrock holding this franchise together! Play the kids! And if they have kids, put them in too.

 

[Tetsujin]

Hoping that Metu’s play of late is indicative of him being a good player going forward and not him being Ike Diogu 2.0

He's a good player.

If nothing else, Diogu definitely did not have the shooting touch that Metu has already shown.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

THAT PASS

 

[Tetsujin]

Bojan Bogdanovic out here looking like Luka

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Well, I think we've identified the guy who is going to be picking up the offensive slack for Mitchell/Conley.

Seems like he’s been injured for a very long time.....too long

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Yeah, I don't know if Metu has that turnaround J in the bag yet. Something to work on this summer, kid!

Walton preparing for the playoffs with another tight 8 man rotation.

Gotta get some of those extra W's so he can look his next boss in the eye.

 

[SacTownKid]

I like Metu and he might be a find but even I would never have thought that with the end of the season drawing to a close, Fox out, Barnes out, Bagley out, that we'd be seeing Damian Jones and Chimezie Metu getting minutes over the Kings recent draft picks. Walton is what he is, through and through.

I'm sure that Northwest Wyoming Tech is going to be ecstatic to have somebody of his credentials, no matter what his final NBA record looks like.

To be fair to the next coach of Northwest Wyoming Tech, Ramsey is a combo guard and would look really bad defending Gobert, and Woodard is by all indications hurt.

If Walton is back next season, I'll have to take a break. His love of role players kills young players careers.

I mean, Haliburton never even got a fair chance, right?

Throw in Harkless too.
