[captain bill]

Who is this WE that Matt Barnes keeps talking about…?

I’ll allow it given he’s a Sac native who never disowned the team despite every reason to do so over the last few year

 

[iowamcnabb]

Hb!

 

[The_Jamal]

HB coming in clutch here

 

[Caccia]

The Beast is out of the Barnes.

 

[gunks]

Barnes going AWF

 

[kingsboi]

Keegan has to get that board just zero effort

no more animal crackers and hamburgers ought to do the trick

 

[The_Jamal]

K33GAN

 

[Tetsujin]

Malik just smoked Mo Bamba so bad that the Magic should probably just give us Mo for free

 

[Ozymandias]

Lets go.. Great minutes by Harrison Barnes here.. Our depth (and 3pt shooting) is starting to wear on them..

 

[captain bill]

This team shows up over and over against the teams they’re supposed to beat. And you know Mike Brown doesn’t take days off when the schedule looks easy.

 

[Ozymandias]

Love it!!!!

 

[The_Jamal]

Almost thought I saw K33GAN smile there for a minute after draining his 4th 3

 

[captain bill]

Forget the Beam, it’s time to light the Neemi signal!

 

[fansinceday1]

What a spectacular half of basketball. Please please let it carry over to the 2nd………

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings struggled against that big Magic zone for most of the quarter still somehow increase the lead by 10 to lead by 20 going into the half.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Someone needs to tell Sabonis there's a game clock over the other basket he can look at while he's backing his man down.

 

[MizzouKing]

Refs letting them play tonight, makes for an enjoyable game!

 

[Tetsujin]

Rookie comparison at half:
K33GAN: 12 points (4-5 fg, 4-5 3p), 2 rbs, 1 ast, 0 to
Paolo: 9 pts (3-5 fg, 1-2 3p), 2 rbs, 1 ast, 3 stl, 1 to

 

[steelevt]

Cmon Kings. We’re ready for a blowout Kings win after all these close ones.

 

[iowamcnabb]

It’s awesome having a player like Domas where you almost feel like he is struggling and he has 11 6 and 6 at half

 

[MizzouKing]

Thank goodness we got the lid on their basket installed before game time!

 

[fansinceday1]

the positive attitude Domas projects is so awesome. Dude is always smiling and he is constantly spreading the positive vibe to his teammates.

If the Kings get this aggressive version of Harrison Barnes it might solve all the teams issues offensively at least. I was looking up the Kings iso stats, and he was by far the best iso scorer in PPP of those who qualified for the stat on the team. The only ones that even qualified to be counted were Fox, Davion, Monk, Barnes, and Sabonis. Barnes is putting up 1.26 PPP but with only a 5.7 freq % and is in the 91st percentile which is actually better than Fox but Fox puts up the most iso points per game. IIRC when Barnes was in Dallas he was like top 5 in iso in the league as well. Monk is atrocious in iso at 0.5 PPP but he's not exactly munching shots thankfully and they've run a lot of pick and roll through him. Davion actually has the highest iso frequency on the team right now at around 11 and he's in the 61st percentile. Meh but not horrible.

I’ve admittedly not watched a lot of Magic basketball but judging by this game…Bamba wouldn’t provide much help with interior D other than being “big and long”

 

[Caccia]

Refs letting them play tonight, makes for an enjoyable game!

On the other hand, the KIngs have only shot two free throws through two quarters. Orlando has eleven.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Thanks Christianson

 

[Tetsujin]

No one's gonna miss a three again.

 

[Sluggah]

Uneasy with all these threes

 

[captain bill]

Other than Keegan getting his soul stolen on that block this is absolutely embarrassing for Orlando

 

[Sluggah]

This ref hates Kevin
