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

The more I watch DDV the more I want him to not get paid more then 8M/yr

He should not be handling the ball much either

 

[iowamcnabb]

Thank you Derozan for making the midrange a good shot again. Fox can maximize his talent if he doubles down on the mid range.

 

[Tetsujin]

Domas backing down Joker and throwing up hooks like this is the 1990s lol

 

[Tetsujin]

HB over Jokic

 

[The_Jamal]

Oh come on. Awesome defensive sequence from Lamb on Gordon and Jokic gets the hail mary to go. MVP players are so annoying.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Has the Joker always had the rainbow three? That thing nearly hits the rafters

 

[Tetsujin]

Lamb is so smooth.

 

[SLAB]

Is Gordon like … far and away their worst player?

 

[EIM86]

We need to either sign Lamb or get a player similar to him for next season

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings only down five. Game is right there if one of our non-Domas/Fox guys steps up.

Let's give it a little time. He was playing really well last season before the injury.

 

[SacTownKid]

I like Donte’s game…but I also might hate it

haha. He's either an igniter or a deflater. I know Jerry Reynolds was kind of iffy on Donte after the trade. Good role guy but they better not get too excited just yet.

 

[The_Jamal]

Pretty great Lamb stint. Exactly the kind of play we need at that wing spot.

Also, I'm not sure how much more we can get away with Jones on Jokic. He's absolutely cooked him in the 5 Jones minutes.

 

[EIM86]

I liked what I saw. Defense still sucks but that’s cause we don’t have a rim protector and that double teaming crap needs to be thrown away. Effort is good enough for me if they play like this rest of the season

This is pretty much a repeat where they had to play Len. Jones isn't heavy enough to guard him. He's done a good job with anticipation but at some point the size difference is the key factor.

I think in the future Jokic will mark games against Kings on his calendar. Because after match-ups against Domas, mornings afetr are going to be sore ones

 

[The_Jamal]

Role player 3pt shooting check

Harkless 1-2
Holiday 0-2
Mitchell 0-2
Jones 0-1
DDV 1-3
Lamb 0-1



Combined 2-11 from 3 for 18%. And a lot of these shots have been good looks. There's your game right there.

Len's always been a better matchup for Jokic than Jones. Obviously not sure how up for playing basketball he is at the moment but ideally I'd like to see him on Joker in the third.

 

[SacTownKid]

OK, who is going to be that 3rd guy in the 2nd half. Harrison, looking at you pal. lol.

Yep, Jokic and Embiid and actually probably Sabonis are the 3 guys in the NBA you can't have a "small" C on the floor, or they'll just walk him down for an easy bucket.

 

[bball_nomad]

BTW, those curious efforts to double team anybody anywhere anytime, leaving your guy open for a jumper, really don't work.

 

[EIM86]

Im guessing he’s gonna be Buddy-Lite but plays defense

they’ve been missing a bunch of treys also though so I think it’s a wash

The only thing is on paper I think the Kings have more shooting than they do. If both teams hit to their capability the Kings should in theory have the advantage.

thats where I get PTSD and start thinkinh Kangzzzzzzz haha

 

[Tetsujin]

Just let Domas and Joker play one-on-one.

 

[Tetsujin]

Holiday finally hit a three

 

[The_Jamal]

There we go Holiday! DHO

 

[The_Jamal]

Just let Domas and Joker play one-on-one.

Get rid of the dunk contest, let Jokic/Embiid/Sabonis/Nurk play post 1on1 King of the Court style. Would be so good.

Fox killing the kings this half
