[Game] Kings vs Rockets, 1/14/2022 7pm PT/10pm ET

Davion out here toying with Jalen Green on defense. Forced him into the baseline and into a waiting Bagley on the play before that

Green is defiantly having an Off Night

I saw a player who looked lost on the court his rookie season (not uncommon), wasn't healthy his second, and had lost his coach's trust by his third. The only real what ifs for me with Marvin are "what if he'd been healthy the last 3 years and was showing us this level of play by the end of his second year" and "what if we hadn't hired Luke Walton".

Most rookies look lost. The biggest point is that the Kings STILL lost. He was healthy enough to be misused and he was. The Walton thing was an issue and yes, another waste of time. More than it needed to be for sure.

Wahoo! Tonight Bags actually IS a 20/10 man!

That's what happens when you give him the ball and play him more minutes

 

[Tetsujin]

Between Julius Randle, Brandon Ingram, and now Marvin Bagley, Alvin Gentry is proving to be a master at repairing former high lotto prospect bigs that Luke Walton randomly ruined.

Wahoo! Tonight Bags actually IS a 20/10 man!

Throw in a couple blocks and an assist too!

And don't have him stand in the corner watching everyone else run pick and roll.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Mitchell hesi was pretty

 

[hrdboild]

I hope these two games against Houston's paper thin defense will snap Davion out of his slump.

 

[KainLear]

HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER! The REF x 3 have entered the ball game!

 

[EIM86]

Dayum when did Ty have a Crossover like dat?!

 

[hrdboild]

Can't leave Gordon that open.

 

[PurpleHaze]

No not Kangz basketball in crunch time. Turnover after turnover!

 

[kingsboi]

He is the forever unbeaten champion

hard to argue with this compilation here....

Let’s not gloss over the fact that Marv has been a mostly sub-par defender the entire time, and has burned a lot of bridges with the social media activity he and “his camp” have put forth. The latter especially is not the way to engender yourself to the FO or the fanbase.

 

[Groovygreg]

Gordon is good.

This man just brings joy

 

[Sluggah]

Sadly, we’re not a team that can coast or get cute.

 

[kingsboi]

This man just brings joy

Russ is the one bringing me joy this season, I can't stop laughing whenever a new video of his shaqtin' moments come out

 

[kingsboi]

Gordon is good.

I'd be surprised if a contender doesn't try to add him to bolster their bench

 

[Capt. Factorial]

At least Fox found the softest possible place to land

Extra nice when it happens to a Laker.

 

[Woot!]

Buddy's lucky Green bailed him out. Ridiculous shot.

 

[KainLear]

At least Fox found the softest possible place to land

You calling Eric fat?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

You calling Eric fat?

 

[hrdboild]

Marvin! Bagley!

 

[Sluggah]

Bagley becoming Stoudemire for at least one game.

 

[KainLear]

Sorry...


Luka who?

 

[Groovygreg]

Marv’s doing his best Richaun Holmes impression tonight with that push shot.

 

[Woot!]

Best game of Bags' NBA career?

 

[Woot!]

Sorry...


Luka who?

Doncic.
