table is set for us to bring this home. Brunson not coming back

Brunson OUT

Brunson out!

 

[SLAB]

Three Kings, no rebound. Doesn’t bite them this time.

Different experiences. Barkley observed and actually played against prime Arvydas Sabonis on the international stage. I think he might’ve already been winding down and past his prime when he finally came to the NBA and Shaq mostly faced him in the last 2-3 years of his career.

Sabonis on two bum knees still gave Shaq all he could handle. lol.

Beautiful basketball

 

[The_Jamal]

What the hell is our ball movement man? That first possession was beautiful

 

[Tetsujin]

Extra-aggressive Keegs to start the half.

 

[Ozymandias]

Its sure gotta be nice to be a rookie like Keegan who gets big minutes and to have Sabonis as one of his vets..

What a pass

Daddy Sabonis and Dražen Petrović will always be the two biggest "what ifs" in NBA history.

 

[The_Jamal]

Keegan is such an absurd off-ball player for a rookie/big wing. It's not just the shooting, it's his awareness and cutting too

 

[SacTownKid]

Funny I mentioned about Keegan being more of an attack player off those pick and rolls rather than a dump off passer and this game Brown has done exactly that.

Sabonis with some Vlaaaadde footwork down there

 

[Tetsujin]

Keegan!

Barnes going at Randle there is him recognizing Randle is trying to get into a rhythm. Barnes was trying to draw a foul knowing that Randle currently has three.

So many little vet things Barnes does that you wouldn't necessarily notice. Let's see if he does it again and successfully get the 4th foul on Randle.

 

[SLAB]

Great foul there, Harrison.

In fairness, Shaq did concede that Arvydas gave it to him, when Barkley pushed back on him.

I WANT MOAR K33GAN

In the Merriam-Webster dictionary, next to the word "Automatic" is a picture of Domantis Sabonis scoring a basket in the post.

I think you have to add Len Bias to any list like that.

 

[kingdivac]

Damn garbage play...way too cavalier

 

[The_Jamal]

No call on Randle pushing HB in the back

 

[SacTownKid]

Thibs is sending his whole defense at Fox and Domas on that pick and roll now. I'd go back to having Keegan coming off those screens. They were giving him all the space in the world.

 

[SacTownKid]

Daddy Sabonis and Dražen Petrović will always be the two biggest "what ifs" in NBA history.

The other what if is what if Sabas actually realized even at that stage of his career he was the Blazers best player? If he would have been more selfish they would have at least 1 ring out of that crazy deep team.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Careful in these minutes before Sabonis and Fox go out. Stay aggressive

 

[Sluggah]

No call on Randle pushing HB in the back

They seem to do it a lot

Can I get an Honorable Mention for the 2008-2012 Portland Trail Blazers?

Kris played well in that loss today, coulda hit a few more 3's but he threw some great passes, definitely could fit here on the Kings cuz of that ball movement.

Ohio State is just a completely different animal when they get that kind of production from Bruce Thornton. Even with Sensabaugh being a potential top20 draft pick, Thornton is really the guy they need to step up to hang with the better teams.

Yeah OSU is talented and their record this year is more a result of playing in a league with a lot of experienced teams. Iowa probably locked themselves into an 8/9 after dropping these last two unfortunately. I thought if they had beat Nebraska at home Sunday to secure the #2 seed for the conference tourney, their first tourney game tomorrow would have likely been quad 1 and win or lose wouldn't really hurt the resume but they could maybe win themselves up to a 6 seed. That would give us a better than expected (preseason) chance at a sweet 16 which we haven't been to since 1999. Oh well. Good chance to win a game in the dance.
