[Game] Kings vs. Lakers 1/7/2022 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[Ozymandias]

The Lakers guards are actually playing quite well. Some credit is due.

As a team their shooting 62%, including 9/13 from 3.. It's not really sustainable and we're winning

 

[Tetsujin]

The Lakers incredibly streaky shooting PGs haven't missed a three tonight

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Oh, THERE'S Russell Westbrook!

 

[captain bill]

Complete waste of possession with under 30 seconds to go

 

[Capt. Factorial]

First to 150 wins

 

[Tetsujin]

I mean, Russ, PatBev, and Shroeder have combined to shoot 8-8 from three, including several buzzer beaters, a couple of bank shots, and one where Huerter was absolutely looming over DS.

 

[Ozymandias]

But yeah, lets get that 4th foul on Thomas Bryant ASAP.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Not the half you want but the Lakers might cool off a bit from 3 in the second half. Pretty sloppy on o for us so far

 

[HndsmCelt]

mmmm, not his best work.

Not even close but I thought a Sade reference with Peg my age more closely

We’ve really taken a step back defensively. Because of this we can’t open up leads. We get up 6,7,8 points but can’t ever really break it open because we can’t consistently get stops.

 

[Caccia]

Coach Brown wiped his glasses after that Fox air ball with 27 seconds left, like he could not believe what he just witnessed.

 

[Tetsujin]

Game is somehow tied despite the Lakers shooting 62% from the field and 69.2% (not nice) from three.

 

[KainLear]

146 points total at halftime.

I think a lot of that comes from easing up on the defense so we get less open court play.

 

[LoungeLizard]

LeBron has to be careful or they will toss him for a second T.

They won’t.

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Don’t understand how Fox’s misses can be so off. Wonder if his mechanics are off after he cleaned them up early in the season

 

[KainLear]

When was the last time Skee-Lo took a headshot portrait? 1985?

Is that Lawler's Law adjusted for current inflation?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Did Skee-Lo have two songs?

Actually sounds about right.

This is why I dismiss the “back to back” excuse. It seems to be invalid for teams playing the Kings so I don’t really like hearing it when the Kings play like trash on a back to back.

Unless we’re ready to admit the Kings defense is so trash that back to backs against them aren’t the same as back to backs against just about anybody else.

I’m not surprised Lakers are shooting 70 percent from three. Most have been uncontested. After awhile of shooting and making uncontested threes..you’ll learn they have enough confidence and rhythm to make them when you finally do contest. As Schroeder and Westbrick did near the of the period.

Hopefully Fox has a big second half. Not to say he was bad in the first half or anything..we’ll just need him to have a huge half to overcome our dreadful defense.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I wonder if the 90s acts that were relevant when the Kings were good will ever be popular enough to be halftime entertainment?

 

[KainLear]

Did Skee-Lo have two songs?

Does remix count?

EDIT:

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

LeBron has to be careful or they will toss him for a second T.

 

[macadocious]

Going out on a limb that Lakers won’t shoot 70% from 3 in 2nd half

uh oh

Not even close but I thought a Sade reference with Peg my age more closely

But I would know exactly what you meant and I'm very much still cool.

 

[Tetsujin]

Keegan takeover!

 

[iowamcnabb]

Thomas Bryant looks about 45
