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

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

Dwane Casey would be proud. He pretty much figured out who was sucking the worst and put them all in at the start of the 4th. Competition for a top 4 pick going to be brutal guys.

 

[Woot!]

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

Sure, enough - those three still out there.

Lou King with the Al Bundy

Kangz, outside looking in at everything that matters. Playoffs, a good draft pick. Naaaaaa, we’ll live without either!

Oh well, AJ Griffin is a good consolation prize

 

[Tetsujin]

Thunder making a run!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Poku with the coast-to-coast?!?

 

[SacTownKid]

Uh oh, Thunder coach might have put his main guys back into the game to clean it up a little a bit early.

 

[SLAB]

Sick defensive effort there, Mezi. Lol

 

[SacTownKid]

Poku with the coast-to-coast?!?

Nice move for sure.

 

[The Effort Police]

Wish we had been in position to draft Giddey instead of Mitchell.

Or... any of the three wing players that went 6-8.

 

[Tetsujin]

Nice move for sure.

poku games will be 95% terribleness and 5% awesome plays like that.

Giddey has a chance to be SPECIAL. Mitchell will be a good, good player though.

Those late season wins were much more important. Winning culture or whatever.

Yeah being mad about not being in position to draft a wing is understandable but hard to feel too bad about drafting Mitchell ahead of everyone else that was left on the board

 

[SLAB]

“THATS GOTTA BE JELLY BECAUSE JAM DOESNT SHAKE LIKE THAT” the new “IF YOU DONT LIKE THAT”?

Eh, we'll see what happens. Fit only coming together when injuries occur is never an answer.

 

[Woot!]

24/8/4/3 for HB.

 

[SLAB]

I’m cool winning on Hali and Mitchell doing things. Trade everyone else still.

 

[Tetsujin]

Refs remember how they extended that last OKC Kings game with a bajillion fouls and decided to do it again

 

[The Effort Police]

Giddey has a chance to be SPECIAL. Mitchell will be a good, good player though.

I'm not convinced.

Mitchell was a fit draft pick meant to be win-now patchwork for this failing core.

All three of those guys are an order of years younger with several times the ceiling and are also better, um, now lol.

I'm not totally sold on Giddey, he's got quite a few holes to plug in his game. He's basically as advertised; the passing/rebounding from a guard/wing looks super impressive and elite, but the scoring/shot/defense is really, really bad right now. The impact/efficiency numbers are really ugly.

He's crazy young still and it's good to see the 2 elite skills translate almost immediately. Just saying he's a tier down from the Mobley/Cade/Barnes/Wagner tier that everyone likes to include him in.

 

[SLAB]

Hopefully the entire NBA is busting down Monte’s door for Harrison after this game.

Very high chance he is gone before we draft? At least one team will likely jump up into the top 4 and he isn’t falling past 5.

Ahem...19.

I for one am not that sold on the guy. Anyone taking him over Johnny Davis at this point is a fool.

I don't know man, for some reason I got the feeling tonight that Fox being out might not even be about trading him. It might be about puffing up some of the young guys.

I could have sworn I typed,

"He's crazy young still and it's good to see the 2 elite skills translate immediately".

 

[steelevt]

17 assists for Ty. Very nice

 

[SLAB]

17/4 AST/TO is pretty solid.

Ty rocks.
