[Game] Kings vs. Sixers, 11/22/21 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[Tetsujin]

I'd start Hield with Fox. Bring Haliburton off the bench for now. See if this helps to get Fox going

Or just do what pretty much everyone has been saying the Kings should do since last season and start with a three guard lineup.

Holmes
Barnes
Buddy
Haliburton
Fox

Let’s just go back to being lovable losers and then if we win we can be pleasantly surprised.

the real issue is this instant gratification generation. Back in my day (as a Cubs fan) we waited a hundred years to win. Now everyone is up in arms when we don’t make the playoffs in a couple decades.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I kind of hate that I morbidly really want to lose to the Sixers’ g-league squad.

I want to see the team turn things around. Prove what an idiotic hire Vlade made

 

[Woot!]

The Kings are still very bad. The Sixers without everyone who matters are probably worse. They might win, but I doubt it’s going to be very inspiring.

<cue the jokes about how fun you must be at parties>

Holmes
Barnes
Buddy
Haliburton
Fox

I go Fox, Hield, Harkless, Barnes, Holmes

Maybe Gentry should go back to the rotations that allowed us to go 5-5 or whatever it was. If he does the same thing as Walton then what’s the point?

If he goes back to our lineup that got us to 5-5 that is, in fact, an improvement. Walton needlessly changed up the lineup and got into weirder and weirder rotations that happened to coincide with our nosedive into the abyss

That's funny. "What's another 15 years anyhow"

The good thing is perhaps this shortens the timeline of when Vivek can finally fire everyone, including Monte McNair, and maybe, just maybe he'll get a brain cell to conduct enough energy to pick the right person who will tell him to F off and let them work.

In all fairness to Gentry, what in the hell was he supposed to say?

 

[DynaPamm]

I don’t know what to expect when I walk into the game tonight…. But I’m hoping there’s plenty of high energy from the fans and the team!! And i won’t have to yell booooooo when they say our coach name like i have been for like two years

Well, that's one mistake semi-reversed at least.

 

[dude12]

Yeah, this roster was built to go 3 guard lineup with HB 4. Maybe start there….and get Len back in the rotation

 

[pdxKingsFan]

In all fairness to Gentry, what in the hell was he supposed to say?

"Luke's a moron and I sandbagged him all the way so I could be coach. Hell, that's the only reason I took the assistant gig." would not be a good look.

Somebody tell him that the revolving role player thing didn't work. I mean, wait he was there to see it right? lol.

That’s encouraging?

 

[SacTownKid]

Fans would love it though,haha.

In all fairness we were 6-4 with that lineup

 

[SacTownKid]

And we still gonna lose lol

You couldn't ask for a better first game after a change. If they blow this then we'll see apathy from fans like no team ever has.

 

[SacTownKid]

In all fairness we were 6-4 with that lineup

Yeah, it's better but the change that has to come is Gentry committing to his "pace and space" system. Then Monte needs to get this team a legit wing to make it work. We need to see more Buddy and Gentry, well, he's had Buddy before.

 

[gilly420]

Tossed a few bucks on Kings -3 1st half and fox over 5.5ast for the game. Let's go LOL! If they suck tonight, stick a fork in this team.

Remember when half the game threads were about how much Harkless sucked? Lol

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Remember when half the game threads were about how much Harkless sucked? Lol

What sucked harder, was starting an unproven player for 5 games who hadn't been playing....and removing a plus big off the bench from the rotation

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Just lost faith in gentry smh dammit!

 

[SacTownKid]

Tough shot but they're playing man to man and switching! I like it so far.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Playing thru are allstar Barnes

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Harkless def is over rated, if we lose I garnatee a trade is coming soon. Fox making it so we can't get Simmons

 

[iowamcnabb]

Was that a foul?

 

[SLAB]

Lmao we still suck what a shocker it wasn’t all Luke.
