[Game] Kings vs. Pelicans, 11/03/21 7pm Pacific, 10pm Eastern

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I probably have this conversation with myself every time I watch the Pels but I go "oh that guy used to do pbp here" and then I google and realize "here" was 16+ years ago when I lived in LA and Chick had just passed.

You never want to be the guy who has to follow The Guy™. Meyers isn't the best, but having to fill Chick Hearn's shoes? He never had a chance.

 

[Woot!]

19 min for HB in the 1st half. THEN Luke played him the entire 3rd.

Did we mention this is the 2nd game of a B2B?

HB is 6th in mpg in the league.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Their color guy is so obnoxious. Lol

Hey, put some respeck on former #4 overall draft pick Antonio Daniels' name!

 

[kb02]

Valincuinas would be a perfect fit on this Kings team.

HB is 6th in mpg in the league.

Luke did this last year. Then a third of the way into the season, players bodies started breaking down.

After the Metu play, not sure he'd be welcome.

And I thought the Butcher was coaching in New York...

 

[Tetsujin]

Buddy missing everything as the Pets announcing crew's mics go all fuzzy

 

[Woot!]

Buddy's insane.

That shot selection!

 

[kb02]

Hali having quite a stat line tonight

 

[Turgenev]

Yeah and our depth is a little better this season. Even if he doesn't want to play MBIII at the PF position he could use Metu who was serviceable last year and had a looked reasonable during the Olympics and summer league.

 

[SLAB]

Buddy touch leather Buddy shoot leather.

Monte would ship Metu out in a heartbeat to get Valinciunas

You don't think anybody else on the team remembers?

 

[Tetsujin]

There's gotta be a better use for Fox than as a screener for Tyrese.

He's serviceable and he'd probably be fine with the Clips but I am not sure he'd ever be Laker quality, whatever they imagine that is. He has a cranky old man voice probably better suited for baseball.

I really don’t think it’ll have that kind of carryover. In fact there was a rumor that the Kings were thinking of trading down and getting Valinciunas.

 

[Woot!]

Len isn't doing the work I expect from him on the boards this season (yet). But everything else - what a welcome pickup.

 

[TaxMan]

You don't think anybody else on the team remembers?

Unfortunately probably not

Jonas looks like a dude who would rock a man bun and play acoustic guitar at an organic coffee shop after moshing dudes on the court every night.

lolzz

 

[Tetsujin]

Tyrese finally hit a three!

 

[iowamcnabb]

Ty has his swag back. Shot it with confidence

 

[SLAB]

Tyrese finally hit a three!

What’s that… second maybe third one on the year?

 

[Tetsujin]

Tyrese's off-ball instincts are elite. On-ball defense still his weakest point as a player.

 

[kingdivac]

Halliburton is more aggressive this game.

 

[kb02]

Hali has 4 steals and 2 blocks

Yeah, kinda dreamy, now that you mention it. In that douchey way though.

 

[Tetsujin]

Are our guards out of their funk?
