I feel like the kings offense just isn't very good. It's not lack of talent, it just looks not very good. Like they have to try so hard on offense.

Is it just me ?

No space and on the other end they are getting caught in mismatches all night. Against good teams? Yeah, down 25 it is. On the surface though, Fox/Haliburton/Bagley/Barnes looked like enough talent for a bit there.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

And... that's another part of the problem. And we wonder why they are here? I have no idea what this franchise is doing. None. Even under Petrie with no cash on hand things made more sense. lol.

I touched on that yesterday. Fox is aggressive when he feels like it. Can't depend on it

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Buddy's doors blown off again

Those times where they force the drive and kick out really come to mind.

Drive, kick out, fake shot, drive kick out

I just feel like it could be better ?

 

[Woot!]

And is a Max player. Anyone can get those stats. Put any starting pg out there with those minutes and they can get that and get paid 1/10 the salary

Oh, stop. No, not *anyone* can get those stats. Fox himself isn't averaging those non-scoring stats for a full game, much less the 27 min he's played. He's engaged. Defensively and otherwise, though he's not playing his usual offensive game. That's a good thing.

Second half buddy showing up

The whole bench showing tonight.

Checking in. See the Kings are beating a team that is actively trying to lose. Kings will win this game, but remember it’s fools gold.

Yeah, we get it. The Kings suck. As I noted earlier, OKC has won 4 of 5 coming in.

Someone should tell the clippers, grizzlies, nuggets and pelicans that okc was actively trying to lose. I don’t think they got the memo.

 

[steelevt]

Dude fox has been short almost all of his jump shots.

"Short" is generous. He airballed a 10-footer.

“trying”

 

[Woot!]

Jones a big part of the big run. Davis a big part.

So let's play 'em umpteen straight min until they become ineffective; is that the plan?

 

[Woot!]

Straight offensive foul there.

Im less concerned about that air ball though it was kinda funny. More concerned about the black holing on his next few shots where he drove into the paint and dribbled around before shooting his mid range. Didn’t look for his teammates at all. That wiring is extreme.

 

[Woot!]

Kings +13 on the boards. I know it's happened earlier this season - a double-digit rebound edge - but not for some time, I think.

Trying to "take over." But... 4-15.

Update: 4-16.

 

[Groovygreg]

Another dominant performance by Fox.

 

[EIM86]

Sigh can’t Lin em all I guess

 

[Woot!]

Yup. Same ole. HB 5-9 from 3 and literally can't touch the ball offensively, much less get a shot up.

 

[KainLear]

Sigh can’t Lin em all I guess

still 3 mins to go...

 

[Woot!]

DJones has played a LOT of consecutive minutes.

 

[SacTownKid]

I don't expect a collapse here. The Thunder just don't have the shooting nor the talent.

 

[steelevt]

Just keep running ty/holmes til they can stop them

 

[KainLear]

Ty + all of our bigs = success. I wonder where would Fox fit in this formula in a perfect world.

[KainLear]

Haliburton is essentially turning into who Fox was supposed to be.

 

[kb02]

Wow, he hit the side of the backboard. Lolzzz
