[Game] Kings vs. Nuggets, 12/29/20, 7PM PST, 10PM EST

Imagine if Barnes could play like this all season (and contract) long.

you have to wonder why he doesn’t. He doesn’t make a ton of mistakes and has the ability. His game gets lost in the offense more than it should. I like this Barnes better than 3 ball Barnes.

 

[SacTownKid]

Well, at least the Kings might have more of a night off against the Nuggets on defense. They play more of a slow down half court style and aren't really attacking the Kings the way the Suns and almost every other team worth a darn will.

 

[Woot!]

5 assists for Barnes. Porter might not be a defensive genius, but it helps when HB's given a chance to get involved offensively. The guy is SOUND.

 

[SLAB]

Lol Joker just blew by my man.

It took a minute, but there’s a few shot alters now.

Somebody needs to convince Bjelica to put #88 back on. He's not the same player in that 8 jersey.

 

[Livinthedream]

Why oh why is this dude trying to ram that Fox and Cojo backcourt down our throats still? Fox and Haliburton or Buddy, that's it, stick with it.

Showcase..

 

[SLAB]

BOL BOL!

 

[kingsboi]

24 out of 34 first quarter points in paint..ouch

 

[Tetsujin]

De’Aaron losing like four assists in that quarter due to his teammates bricking shots left and right.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Did Bol Bol and Tyrese coordinate footwear?

 

[Woot!]

De’Aaron losing like four assists in that quarter due to his teammates bricking shots left and right.

10-19 from the field, including 4-7 from 3. Hard to complain about the shooting. OTOH, when the opposition is shooting 67% from the field... time for Whiteside to impose his interior defensive will on this game. Juice has 8/4/6 in 10 1/2 min. Yikes.

 

[dude12]

Cojo is the bricklayer tonight

 

[SLAB]

I can’t get over Bol Bol’s stick figure physique.

 

[kb02]

Haliburton is the truth.

 

[dude12]

Halliburton finds guys rather easily....so good

 

[Tetsujin]

I can’t get over Bol Bol’s stick figure physique.

Dudes that tall probably shouldn’t be that skinny lol

 

[kingsboi]

I can’t get over Bol Bol’s stick figure physique.

can't run away from genes

 

[SLAB]

“Tyrese Haliburton making the right play.”

We’re going to hear that a lot.

 

[Tetsujin]

Hali making that pull up three consistently would be a game changer.

 

[Woot!]

Tyrese or Fox needs to be in at all times. If he can handle it, Tyrese needs 30 mpg already. I don't discount the possibility that he's simply off to a fast start. I don't think it's fair to expect the rook to show out like this throughout his initial campaign.

But... wow.

 

[SLAB]

“McNair THRILLED to take the best player available.”

ahhhh the joys of having a good GM. Hell, a competent GM even.

 

[Woot!]

Hali making that pull up three consistently would be a game changer.

It's not an off-the-dribble 3. The difference between his spot-up and off-the-dribble 3 is night and day at this point.

 

[Sluggah]

I know Tyrese’s play shouldn’t affect how I feel about CoJo...but...god, it does.

 

[kb02]

Air Bol Bol

 

[Tetsujin]

Tyrese with a rare TO

 

[Woot!]

I love the pace of the game for the Kings.

 

[Folsomkingsfan]

I know Tyrese’s play shouldn’t affect how I feel about CoJo...but...god, it does.

Its the same way I felt about George Hill when we drafted Fox. Only worse because I’ve never understood why Cojo ever got minutes in the first place. He’s supposedly a good defensive point guard but I swear every time I look up he gets beat.

 

[Sluggah]

Tyrese with a rare TO

That’s not who was credited with it.

 

[Tetsujin]

Marvin with a three two games in a row

 

[SacTownKid]

Haliburton is about as glue as a glue player can get. He inherently knows where and to who that ball should go.
