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

[The Effort Police]

We... might not suck?

Nah, Memphis and Orlando were top of the conference two years ago. Wolves were 7-4 last November. Early season's pretty weird. The Magic are still undefeated and the Cavs were until today. I kinda wish it wasn't us doing it this year before the playoff teams wake up and punch us in the mouth.

 

[SLAB]

Hahaha.

Won’t lie, the absurd comparison takes me out of the moment. Let Bagley do Bagley things. Not “OMG PLZ BE GIANNIS” things.

 

[Groovygreg]

“If he’s healthy, to me, he’s along the lines of Giannis. Because he can handle the ball, he can shoot–he’s a better shooter than Giannis. He has right-shoulder, left-shoulder moves, he runs the floor extremely well, he jumps really high, he really is a generational talent.”

I’d love nothing more than Bagley to prove OP right.

The kid can be a star but yeah, let him be Marvin Bagley. And being Marvin Bagley could mean being a pretty darn versatile big man.

 

[SLAB]

Joker blowing by Fox just made Whiteside feel better about himself for the same exact thing earlier.

 

[SLAB]

Vintage Holmes tonight. Doesn’t want to lose that starter job.

 

[SacTownKid]

Refs are kind of giving the Kings the business here on both ends. Malone is also starting to really pack it in might need to bring in Bjelica.

 

[dude12]

Porter Jr shoots the crap out of the ball

 

[SLAB]

This Barnes and past Barnes aren’t the same player.

 

[Livinthedream]

Shots not dropping for Kings right now

 

[Spike]

This hustle is amazing.

 

[SactownShaq]

This Barnes and past Barnes aren’t the same player.

When you have a player in his prime he plays good, wow surprising. Why don’t we trade him cuz he is getting paid well and play another sg at sf .

 

[SLAB]

We... might not suck?

I see I spoke too soon.

Here’s CoJo to save the day.

 

[Tetsujin]

“You know what will stop this run? More CoJo!” Said no one aside from Luke Walton

lol what? He was in his prime last year too and one of the most invisible players on the roster.

 

[SacTownKid]

They pack it in and gunk up the inside so he figures, "Lets bring in Cojo earlier!" Hahaha, WTF! That'll keep the D honest.

 

[Sluggah]

Well. That’s a way to start a half, I guess.

 

[SacTownKid]

We've waited 6 quarters to finally see the Nuggets play the paint defensively, shocker, it worked.

 

[Kingz19]

21 Nuggets points off Kings turnovers.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Put Haliburton in to restore order

 

[SactownShaq]

lol what? He was in his prime last year too and one of the most invisible players on the roster.

He still averaged 15 on good efficiency, he was just being too unselfish at times. He been a good player kings fans just love hating on him lol.

 

[SLAB]

Put CoJo in to restore order

“I like the way you think.”
-Luke Walton

 

[SacTownKid]

First play in, post up to Barnes. OMG. LOL.

 

[Das_Boot]

What just happened?? I looked away to send a text message, look back and they cut the lead by 9 points.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Augh!

 

[Livinthedream]

Tired of watching Jokic flop around and get garbage calls.

 

[dude12]

The Whiteside/Bjelica/Cojo lineup isn’t working

 

[TaxMan]

Refs having a great quarter

 

[SacTownKid]

What just happened?? I looked away to send a text message, look back and they cut the lead by 9 points.

The Nuggets are packing in the paint, the Kings are playing big, and they are still trying to pound it inside. At what point does somebody in the organization figure out that this team has to really give Barnes at PF a legit shot? If they lose this game then that's the end of the line.

The book on the Kings is...they're soft. Beat them up, get handsy in the 2H. That's going to be the case until the Kings prove otherwise.
