[Game] Kings vs Nets, 2/2/2022, 10pm ET/7pm PT

[SacTownKid]

The Nets are just plain hounding Haliburton in this one. Tough game after a long road trip, he's going to have results like this until he catches up physically. They will need him down the stretch in this one though. Next time he's up against Griffin on a switch he needs to take him.

 

[SacTownKid]

Gentry better time this Metu/Jones lineup cleverly because they are adding to the negative they put up in the first half. Metu needs to shoot those 3's otherwise this could get ugly again in a hurry.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Mitchell's offense appears to have turned a corner.

 

[Groovygreg]

Davion really rounding into form offensively.

 

[Groovygreg]

More great defense from Davion.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

"Chimezie Metu just roofed Blake Griffin" is not an English sentence I could have imagined 5 years ago.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Before some yahoo suggests that the offense runs better with Haliburton on the bench, I just want to point out this rally was based almost entirely on strong defense.

 

[Groovygreg]

Good effort by the Kings tonight.

 

[ESP47]

Davion with a sick drive and kick for a Metu 3 with about a minute left in the 3rd. One of the best plays I've seen out of him all season.

 

[miltonap]

good work Davion

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Before some yahoo suggests that the offense runs better with halibut on the bench...

Do you figure that it has to be a right-eyed flounder, or do you suppose any flatfish would do?

yea that was a great play

 

[SacTownKid]

Hopefully James Harden continues his nap in this game. If so, there's a chance!

Celt has an overzealous autocorrect.

He looks fat and lazy.

 

[gunks]

Pretty funny if we beat the Nets.

Probably the most un-likable super team in recent memory (at least their 3 stars), and considering no super teams are likable, that's saying something!

This explains things much more.

 

[Sluggah]

That looked like peak Kings for a second.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

It's nice to see players doing this thing on offense, I think it's called "moving", anyway it seems to work.

 

[Groovygreg]

Nets playing tired.

 

[SLAB]

I’m all for losing every game, but beating Harden and Kyrie is nice.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I really like what this Metu/ Jones lineup can do especially defensively.

 

[steelevt]

Nets keep launching and missing 3s while kings go to the rim and build the lead slowly. What am I watching?

Passing is a novel concept as well.

 

[SacTownKid]

OK, magic dust is starting to wear off, get Barnes back in and finish this.

 

[SacTownKid]

Passing is a novel concept as well.

And against a team with Irving/Harden/Griffin on defense, a much much easier thing to do haha.

 

[iowamcnabb]

If I am the Nets, I would be nervous about signing James Hardees to another max contract. He is a crafty dude but it does seem like he has lost a step.

 

[Groovygreg]

Davion is a cool customer. The Kings need more guys with that type of disposition.

 

[Groovygreg]

Harkless and Metu having nice games.
