[Game] Kings vs. Pelicans, 1/17/21, 6pm PST, 9pm EST

[Woot!]

Buddy's TO's are too often just mindboggling.

 

[KainLear]

Bledsoe wide open...

 

[Woot!]

Buddy: 0 boards, 0 assts, 2 TO's.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Even when we play good defense teams are just nailing threes

 

[Turgenev]

Luke calling a timeout here for some reason but didn’t call a timeout when the Clippers were making a run last game.

Something he learned reviewing the tape?

 

[Tetsujin]

Benching Marvin to hopefully put him back in in a few minutes

 

[iowamcnabb]

60 percent from the field and 60 percent from three for the opposition. Just can’t win against those numbers

 

[Sluggah]

that was quite the sequence

 

[iowamcnabb]

I mean come on

 

[KainLear]

Why am I watching this? Why am I suffering thru 14 years of this?

 

[iowamcnabb]

What is Deaarons career high?

 

[SLAB]

I don’t like it when Haliburton is struggling.

 

[Tetsujin]

Sigh.
Trade/fire everyone and re-rebuild around De’Aaron

 

[SLAB]

That’s a strange way to spell “Metu.”

 

[iowamcnabb]

Hali has lost his confidence.

 

[SacTownKid]

Haliburton is starting to get the Buddy treatment from teams on pick and roll. He just needs to stick to his guns and look for someone off the ball. Be that glue guy.

 

[KainLear]

I don’t like it when Haliburton is struggling.

Well, teams had started to scheme for him. Luke only putting him out to slot for the corner 3 and maybe some freelance sets. Nothing concrete. Any rookie will get into slumps.

He sure looks better with Holmes reliable flip, or Whiteside to lob to.

 

[iowamcnabb]

39 is Fox’s career high. Let’s at least come away eclipsing that.

I’ve got the Goal post on wheels at this point

Bagley made some mistakes, see Adams lol, but he played well and looked very promising. We have that.

High middle. It's the same story, send him into the middle and flatten out the defense. If they want to double him he'll have options off the ball or over the top. They should really look back into the Doug Christie vault. Adelman used his size to a major advantage up top. They can do the same things for Haliburton.

 

[Tetsujin]

Lol Zion bails out Buddy on a terrible transition three.

 

[Iced Espresso]

It's now or never pressure Lewis.

 

[KainLear]

Haliburton looks like a regular rookie again.

Buddy will always do Buddy things. It was one against 4 too. Lolzzz.

 

[hrdboild]

Maybe we should start funneling the ballhandlers to the basket and giving them the layup so they'll stop shooting threes? At least then we'd only be giving up two points each trip down the floor.

 

[Woot!]

Awesome. Buddy races ahead and takes the 3 w/all his teammates behind him. Got a bailout foul.

 

[Tetsujin]

I’d feel better about the Kings sucking on defense of it were a Nellieball style get the ball back as fast as possible thing but the sad thing is that Luke is trying to have us play defense.

 

[iowamcnabb]

JJ moves like someone that podcasts for a living

 

[Woot!]

But seriously. That's unbelievably dumbass.
