[Game] Kings vs. Suns, 12/26/2020, 7PM PST, 10PM EST

The clock struck midnight for Cojo in regards to his shooting

 

[SLAB]

Wow, Payne has lofted two over the outstretched arms of the man-tower Hassan.

 

[kb02]

Good D by Joseph.

 

[dude12]

If the Suns continue to push the pace......we may have an advantage in the end with a deeper bench

 

[SactownShaq]

There is no earthly reason not to start Hassan.

Besides tanking

 

[SacTownKid]

Not a good look right here. You thought the 2 PG look was iffy, welcome to 3, jeez. Too slow in the front court, too small in the back. WTF.

 

[Joshoua]

Notice how Whiteside comes in and IMMEDIATELY and dramatically affects the flow of the game.... I'm telling you... underrated.

Suns get good looks whenever they put him in the pick and roll

This is what happens when your coach has an unhealthy obsession with playing CoJo

And that's the issue espeically with he and Bjelica. The Suns are just dicing them up right now.

First man off the bench is ... it’s asinine. There’s no reason for that.

 

[DesertFox]

Belly and Whiteside can work well. Belly can strategically get beat and lead people to Whiteside. On offense, Belly's iq can mask Whiteside's lack of by getting him easy buckets.

 

[Tetsujin]

Harrison Barnes has turned into a stud since he started losing his hair.

 

[dude12]

Here’s the problem with Cojo.....shot not falling and he’s not stopping Booker right now. Our offense bogged down with him.

He's too small. This the same thing we saw with Luka. Cory is a good on ball defender when going against similar sized players. Then his backup is 180 pounds of SF. The only thing keeping them in this now was Whiteside going full Shaq mode inside.

 

[SLAB]

Cool. 4 minutes for for Whiteside. CoJo still playing.

 

[dude12]

Sac would be better off subbing in GR3 for Cojo

 

[SacTownKid]

Belly and Whiteside can work well. Belly can strategically get beat and lead people to Whiteside. On offense, Belly's iq can mask Whiteside's lack of by getting him easy buckets.

But the other team says, "gobble, gobble, pick and roll, yummy". That was nice seeing them use Whiteside inside though. Then they went away from it.

 

[dude12]

Bjelica is getting torched on defense

 

[SLAB]

And now there’s a wide open funnel to the hoop.

 

[kb02]

Haliburton getting an education.

 

[kb02]

Bags went for the block with his right hand.

 

[dude12]

Why the hell is Hali not initiating the offense instead of Buddy or Cojo?

 

[Tetsujin]

What is this lineup?

 

[luckytkp]

you have Hali and Cojo on the floor, and somehow buddy is starting the offense.

 

[SacTownKid]

Again, this dude still for some reason hasn't figured out the small ball thing. Keep as much size on that wing as you can so you can switch. It's not rocket science. The Suns were running 6'6" 6'8" and 6'8" back at the Kings. Maybe there is a benefit to 3 PG's but who's going to shoot it?

 

[dude12]

Frustrating.....we have the ability to match up better than having Bjelica out there trying to guard Mickla Bridges and other switchable guys

 

[SacTownKid]

Some would say genius, some would say... well...

 

[dude12]

Blame .walton for losing the lead

 

[SLAB]

Luke Walton is a godawful coach. Lmao

 

[Kingz19]

I was going to say, give the ball to Barnes.
