[Game] Kings vs. Nuggets, 2/24/2022 7pm Pacific, 10pm Eastern

OK, this is where they are getting a little too caught up in the "system". Put Jokic in pick and roll. Trying to out-Princeton a team with this many years of experience doing it is not a good call here.

missed a pass to Holiday, couple turnovers

 

[EIM86]

we are having a really hard time getting over the hump to take the lead

 

[Tetsujin]

Will Barton out here shooting like Steph in the all-star game.

When Aaron Gordon starts draining contested mid-range turn around jumpers, what can you really do?

 

[The_Jamal]

There we go Fox. Attack Jokic at the rim off the PnR

 

[Tetsujin]

Sabonis's feet are ridiculous

 

[The_Jamal]

Good Lord the Sabonis foot-work is so beautiful.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I love me some old school, low-post big man offense.

 

[Tetsujin]

Sabonis's move on Joker shook him so bad he threw the ball away.

AND THEN HE HITS THE JUMPER

 

[The_Jamal]

SABONIS SAYS NOT TODAY

 

[SacTownKid]

All started with two middle pnr's. One from Davion, one from Fox. Put Jokic in the box and make him decide if he's either going to foul, or let it go. EVERY TIME.

Duncan-like.

Mitchell comes in in, Kings go on a run.

But the league should have stepped in to stop the trade!

Jokic already struggles to recover, but he has none chance vs the Fox or even Davion speed. It's been the most successful play tonight when they put Jokic in space and force him to try and contest the ball-handler at the rim. Just too slow.

Gordon bullying Barnes in the paint this quarter. That's 3 times now they've had him in ISO. Don't see that too often.

 

[The_Jamal]

Also, I hate the sub pattern. Fox and/or Barnes should have been pulled by now so they can come in when Sabonis goes to the bench when Jokic does so they can match his rotation. This isn't hard to figure out Gentry.

 

[The_Jamal]

Oh man, Sabonis missed a beautiful DDV pass. First time we've seen that.

 

[Tetsujin]

DOMAS FULL COURT LAYUP

 

[Tetsujin]

DDV THREEEEEEEEEEE
KINGS BACK IN IT

 

[The_Jamal]

SABONIS SAYS NO


DDV NAILS THE THREE!!!!!!!!

 

[Kingz19]

Mitchell completely shuts down Hyland…everybody else still sags anyway

 

[Tetsujin]

G1C looks LOUD

 

[Sluggah]

Can’t count this new team out.

 

[SacTownKid]

There we go, hopefully that sparks a turnaround for Donte. You can tell he's just primed to explode.

 

[Entity]

So jones is so checked out he didn’t realize the score on the monitor was wrong

 

[SLAB]

LETS GO
