[Game] Kings vs Rockets, 1/2/2021, 2PM PST, 5PM EST

Man, remember when people were acting like the Wizards committed highway robbery on the Rockets by trading Wall and a first round pick for Russ?

Well, a two year long recovery leg injury for 30 year old point guard who relies on speed and athleticism. I thought there was no way Wall was going to anything but a shell. Even then, I viewed it as a lateral move and not highway robbery. I stopped taking Westbrook seriously as a true superstar years ago. He was best when he knew he was the number 2 guy with Durant. I think he thought he was level with Harden and obviously he’ll think he’s the man next to Beal

It shows you how you can hang in with little to no real talent and inflate players beyond their reality individually. If you don't play this way your just playing yourself at this point.

Yea, I see a bigger, longer version of Holmes in Woods. I don’t see a star. Bags needs to match his grit and motor to produce similar numbers.

how many times did ball get swept away from bagley's hands? 3? or 4 including that blocked shot?

my eyes are bleeding whenever i see him with the ball in hands...
he simply lacks fundaments, for example he should not to swing ball down every time he catches.
defence... huh, long story...

and this kid got coached by krzyzewski?


my only hope is that papa bagley will finally shut up!

Houston scouting likely said strip the ball whenever he gathers.

Not quite sure we’ve been watching the same game.

 

[kb02]

NBA tv loves Houston. Lolzzz

 

[kb02]

Buddy not even trying on defense

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Underrated aspect of the second Rockets-Kings matchup - the team colors make sense.

 

[kb02]

Buddy got lost

 

[kb02]

Rockets attacking Buddy on defense.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Of course right when I sit down to watch game stream gets interrupted.

 

[TaxMan]

Fox is so much stronger this year

 

[TaxMan]

I can’t believe they left wood out there with 4 fouls

 

[dude12]

Our defense just has to be better

 

[Kingz19]

Kings still allow too many wide open threes. That’s definitely been a carry over.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Anyone else having trouble with stream?

The many ways that teams are going to expose what the Kings are doing defensively is becoming clear. From day one, Walton hasn't understood the concept of switching. They switch but over help. Doing so makes the switch not only pointless but nothing but a disadvantage. The Rockets switch and then play the closest defender somewhat into the space and that's it. The Kings routinely double and help off. Just plain stupid.

 

[Kingz19]

No ball movement whatsoever.

 

[TaxMan]

Looked like a charge to me

 

[Kingz19]

There you go bags...want to automatically get favor from the refs?

mow down Boogie

 

[KingsFans4Change!]

Holmes running the offense at the top is hot garbage. No movement horrible spacing

 

[SacTownKid]

Looked like a charge to me

It was close but he wasn't fully vertical yet. He was leaning into Bagley a bit.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Nice. Keep going after their big men. Let's get #5 on Cousins. Veteran stuff.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Cuz scowl game as strong as ever

 

[dude12]

I know this won’t happen anytime soon, but I’d love to see Woodard mixed into games even if it’s for a short, short stint......something to build on for the rook......and the same for Ramsey. Maybe after Cojo is dealt

 

[Kingz19]

Holmes running the offense at the top is hot garbage. No movement horrible spacing

Holmes had been having his strong games recently with them finding him for his push shot and not doing any high post garbage with him. I think they have only tried to hit him in his spot a couple of times this game.

 

[SacTownKid]

That last defensive sequence was a full commitment switch. Holmes got switched onto Wall and they let him pressure up and didn't leave shooters open. Holmes and Bagley might be athletic enough to play a real switch defense without going small. Pick your poison Walton.

 

[dude12]

Lol.....they turned the foul over. Unreal

 

[Kingz19]

Nearly the whole clock and 2 guys touched the ball. It’s like watching Rondo and Al Jefferson playing 2 on 2

 

[KingsFans4Change!]

More iso hero ball with no movement great
