[Game] Kings vs Thunder, 2/5/2022 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[SLAB]

It’s shocking how bad we are. Lol

 

[The_Jamal]

He and Poku are playing like the idealized versions of themselves tonight.

If there's one thing the Kings are good for, it's helping opposing struggling players get right.

We all know how this is going to end. We're going to end up one spot ahead of the Thunder in the tank rankings because we lose this game, and they're going to jump to 1st overall.

It doesn’t matter if we lose to OKC’s G-League team we beat a TITLE CONTENDER a mere 3 games ago. That means we’re practically a title contender ourselves!

Barnes is too nice. Gets hammered, goes to the ref with a smile on his face.

 

[gilly420]

Man, Holmes in there scrapping but he sure has caught his share of shots to the face this year.

Nice to see him fully integrated into the offense.

Is there a point though? Seriously, if Portland blows their team up then the Kings self inflicted harm to players like Buddy probably means that one rebuild package out there goes to them. As of now the safer bet is honestly to stay in the play in window in case they do go win now.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Let Giddey shoot all the threes. All of them.

So have Barnes and Harkless been waiting for their chance to shine while Gentry cycles through every guard and center on the roster first or will they promptly disappear for the next 20 games after this?

 

[Woot!]

Nice Buddy pass!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Nice little 10-0 run

 

[Tetsujin]

Tyrese racks up assists at a rate unseen for the Kings since Rondo only unlike Ramon, his assists actually count and come within the flow of the game.

Well, I can post the 5 man advanced stats again. Harkless needs to be upgraded, but that is their best front court duo in terms of net rating by far this season. And last I believe.

 

[Woot!]

Nice little 10-0 run

First real contribution from the bench all game (Metu, Jones, Hield) - and a big one.

 

[Woot!]

I hope Gentry doesn't conclude that Metu, Jones, Hield should play 16 consecutive min.

 

[Tetsujin]

Tyrese has 13 assists.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Tyrese has 13 assists.

what is his career high?

14

 

[Tetsujin]

If they give him the assist for that Moe bucket, he’s at 14.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

The ESPN box score did.

 

[Woot!]

18 and 10 in 31 for Moe.

Moe is sooooo much better W/OUT FOX!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

There's enough time for Tyrese to go for 20 if we can avoid blowing the Thunder out.

 

[Woot!]

If they give him the assist for that Moe bucket, he’s at 14.

Aka, "season high."

 

[SLAB]

In the end, the tank was just stronger on the other side.

 

[SacTownKid]

If Buddy keeps it up it's possible. That little shuffle pass is all he needs.

 

[steelevt]

I like metu using his size to post up instead of jacking 3s
