[Game] Kings vs. Magic, 12/9/21 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

Having a hard time stopping them

This is the thing, they can't keep doubling in a pressure defense. Playing that far up means the moment you double you're leaving the basket area clear. They need to switch and stay switched.

Marvin Bagley: super solid two-way player?

And they laughed at me when I said we finally gonna see what we got for our 2nd overall pick yesterday.

 

[Tetsujin]

So did Bagley suddenly morph into a really good two-way player overnight or was Luke just stupid?

 

[PurpleHaze]

Marvin Bagley III, can't stop him, only hope to contain him

 

[SacTownKid]

On track to be a 144 to 152 game. Just smh.

It is what it is. Gentry ball is going to be that way but they've had some solid stops when not doubling.

I like the pressure from the Kings, they are overplaying a bit but this is the only way they get into the playoffs if that's the goal.

this team, as is, is not making the playoffs.

 

[Woot!]

Buddy is now shooting 35.8% from 3 on the year.

Bags is shooting 35.3% from 3 on the year.

This style is just a repeat of Walton ball. It wint happen tonight, because the Magic suck, but tbeyre going to get demolished by actual nba teams.

 

[Tetsujin]

Len is like the one player not experiencing a huge production bump under Gentry

 

[Tetsujin]

Len's just trying to get into foul trouble so Queta can see minutes tonight.

 

[PurpleHaze]

I like the way Kings started out small and then later went big yet maintained good Kings pace and spacing.

 

[KainLear]

Len's just trying to get into foul trouble so Queta can see minutes tonight.

Wait... we called Neemias up?

 

[Tetsujin]

The Lopez twins apparently trying to show that being a Kings killer is genetic.

 

[Livinthedream]

Nice screen Bags

 

[kb02]

First to 150 wins.

 

[dude12]

Looks like Metu is the odd man out….at least tonight

 

[Capt. Factorial]

That Holmes follow was so sick, Hali had to hold his head on

 

[HndsmCelt]

Holmes is just padding his stats there.

Not at all. Walton played time consuming half court ball when they weren't getting fastbreak chances and getting bad shots. This is middle, middle, middle and now on defense pressure, pressure, pressure. Mostly the things that Walton avoided.

find someone who looks at you like Ty looks at Richaun's rebound put-back.

 

[Tetsujin]

He'll get his time one way or another. For better or worse, Gentry is not afraid to dig deep into his bench.

 

[Woot!]

First to 150 wins.

And, incidentally, Kings're up 7.

 

[Woot!]

Holmes is just padding his stats there.

Empty stats!

 

[Tetsujin]

Bagley isn't taking the game over by any means but he's been solidly good tonight.

 

[Woot!]

Just think: it was only a year ago that the Kings' bench rotation effectively consisted of... Cory Joseph.

 

[Tetsujin]

Richaun gotta start wearing goggles.

 

[The_Jamal]

Richaun gotta start wearing goggles.

Yeah, Bamba having a 10 foot reach just happened to make his arm hit his eye after the block attempt

Man, that was bloody.

 

[SacTownKid]

Man, I can't tell what was bleeding on that.
