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

[Tetsujin]

TT and Len with three fouls each. Holmes out. Might we see Neemias tonight?

This is what happens when neither team is playing hard. Your turn to score, my turn…

 

[Tetsujin]

Not sure why we ran all those Barnes/TT isos when the Magic are apparently incapable of guarding De'Aaron.

 

[kb02]

140 to 134. Sigh.

I think Gentry needs to put Tristan on the bench and go with Jones/Metu. The Magic are literally targeting TT on both sides on screen and roll.

Still got Damien Jones on the bench but if the foul continues, I'm ready to see how has our Portuguese big boy improved.

I'm ready to see some Bagley-Metu action as the back-up bigs. Len is "better", but let's keep developing both of those guys off the bench

Just tuning in, did something happen to Holmes?

 

[EIM86]

After that half I’m ready to trade Buddy

Bamba blocked his shot and his face at the same time. Super bloody something on his face

because the magic are incapable of defending anything

Might've got his same eye poked by Mo Bamba this time. Went to the back a little before half time.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Just tuning in, did something happen to Holmes?

He was hit in/around the eye by Bamba, was bleeding all over the place, went in to the locker room on concussion protocol.

 

[Woot!]

Still got Damien Jones on the bench but if the foul continues, I'm ready to see how has our Portuguese big boy improved.

*TOLD* you those 5 centers would come in handy.

Well, you can't get much more vague than that, haha. This sucks, they finally start committing to something defensively that Holmes can excel in and is honestly needed more than any other big on the roster. ****.

 

[EIM86]

Neemias Queta is looking at TT and asking if maybe Holmes getting his eyeball torn out of the socket counts as "extenuating circumstances".

I don’t even see him in the court for halftime warm ups

 

[Woot!]

After that half I’m ready to trade Buddy

Buddy is now 4-30 from 3 over his last 4 1/2 games (13%), 7-43 over his last 5 1/2 (16%).

Jason Anderson, ladies and gents.

 

[Tetsujin]

Tristan getting absolutely destroyed on defense.

 

[KainLear]

Did Kayte just advocate knocking someone out?

[Tetsujin]

Tristan Thompson playing defense like Jason Thompson at the moment

 

[mac]

Buddy has been awful for about 5 games now.

 

[Woot!]

Yikes!

Indeed.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Which is MOST true:
1) Buddy being shopped aggressively by Kings for months.
2) Vivek still in love with Buddy and refuses to break up the marriage.
3) No team in NBA wants Hield's big fat contract.
4) Buddy extremely valuable piece of Kangz now and into a glorious future.

We were literally one Russ phone call from trading him a couple of months ago. Is this really a discussion?

 

[Tetsujin]

Magic appear to have realized the Pistons lost at halftime.

 

[Tetsujin]

I feel like every single play in this quarter has gone through the middle of the paint. This is muuuuuuuuuch better.
