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

[SLAB]

I love Baby DeMarcus Booker’s stank face whenever the refs have the audacity to blow the whistle on him.

 

[burekijogurt]

Barnes looking to get himself traded to a contender. He looks thicker. Took the hack by Crowder and still finished.

 

[Sluggah]

Fox hitting his free throws is *chef’s kiss*

 

[Joshoua]

Nba is so stupid let them talk crap to each other nobody’s gonna fight

 

[SLAB]

Kings winning this one in spite of themselves. It’s been ugly since Coach took out Fox the first time.

 

[dude12]

All of the sudden no calls

 

[Kingz19]

Where’s the whistles?

 

[SLAB]

Good stuff. More fouls, Holmes. I want Whiteside.

 

[dude12]

Holmes.....dude

 

[Tetsujin]

What is Richaun doing?

 

[SLAB]

DeFox took that two for one if they hurried.

 

[Sluggah]

How am I to know about 2 for 1s?!

 

[Kingz19]

Somewhere Grant is smiling about Fox noticing the 2 for 1

 

[dude12]

Good D by GR3

 

[DesertFox]

I hate how good Chris Paul is.

 

[Tetsujin]

the Kings are somehow winning despite their coach doing everything in his power to make them lose.

He's good. HOFer. But he looks like he's 40 years old playing against Fox. Getting by on brains alone.

We saw another play there with Buddy on the switch. He was able to fend off Ayton inside by fronting. That indeed could be a weapon there keeping them away from having to double which is just giving up points every time anyway.

Walton has certainly shown to be random in his lineups but if we didn't know him like we do I'd say there might be some showcasing going on. Maybe there is.

Without watching the game or seeing the score yet, I was skimming through this thread and assumed the Kings were losing for sure...

 

[Kingz19]

Kings are getting to line more again and winning the boards by a healthy margin again.

Not making any threes though and they are not not getting as much balance on offense as they did vs Denver

But, they led the entire half and it’s not like Booker and Paul had an off-half..So Kings are in good shape.

Well technically they are depending on the lineup and I think we've seen them all tonight, lol.

 

[Groovygreg]

The Kings look much better on both ends of the court as compared with last season.

Fox with his physical development, man, if they just prioritize spacing around him. Sky is the limit.

 

[Das_Boot]

What is Richaun doing?

And to think I was worried about only having his early bird rights. If this is the Holmes we get this year, let him walk. Fingers crossed he gets back to playing like last season but until he does get Hassan in there.

Somethings off for sure. They were talking about him adding a 3 but they never use him in pick and pop. Maybe he's frustrated about that?

Buddy might be at his best guarding the bigger forwards. Not saying he's good, but it might be where his weaknesses are hidden. He won't get beat off the dribble, and can crash the boards. Same way James Harden isn't a great defender, but he bodies up opposing 3s and 4s as part of their scheme.

There is much about CP’s game that Fox should seek to emulate,

Yeah Buddy's a big dude like Harden. He just is and if he's that infatuated with lifting then yeah, might as well use it.

I was at my mom's for Christmas dinner and my phone said it was 15-2. I got home and it was a 5 point game and that lead would have been cut to 1 if not for .05 seconds, so yeah. It's not surprising the tenor of this thread.
