And, just like that, the Kings shooting 44% from 3.

My goodness.

seriously? lol weren't we like 3 of 16 or something?

 

[Sac.Kings]

Well we finally put the car in drive and the second quarter looked much better. Defensive effort has improved noticeably but my god when did Grant turn into Harden to earn all them free throw attempts?

 

[KainLear]

I still don’t think I ever saw Bogi as a smart player in his time here.

Ginger *THE IDEA OF* Bogi, not the actual Bogi.

I'm only basing this answer on memory but I think I agree with this.

There's a fine line between being "smart" and being "direct", Bogi had worked himself into tunnels at times.

If it works, it's a good idea.

I feel like that Xtandi ad is burying the lede: where do they still have milk in glass bottles?

 

[PorchSurfin]

I'm sure he's just on the phone with his bookie betting more money against the Kings guys.

I'm not allowed to snipe, but you aint wrong.

Kevin Huerter is who Nik Stauskas wishes he was.

 

[Tetsujin]

If Okpala gets 6, Brown pretty much probably goes with both, haha. Or Barnes plays the rest of the game. Thankfully the supuerdupersmallball unit worked, Barnes got some good rest in that 2nd half. Was on pace to play the whole game at one point lol.

the small ball unit worked because aside from Grant, all of the Blazers forwards/wings essentially play like guards anyways and Huerter is big/physical enough to not get completely run over by Grant every possession.
Sharpe getting really hot from the field helped mask the fact that the blazers have like one good player on their bench and he’s currently out with an injury.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Ying Yang killing the halftime show!

 

[Woot!]

Portland starters playing heavy minutes. Bodes well for the second half for the good guys.

 

[Kingster]

Nice point production on offense for Fox, but he's really got to clean up the turnovers. I think he had 4 in the first half.

Sacramento, duh... If this was twitter Jrue would tweet you a picture of the farm to bottle to table delivered via high speed rail and the last mile in Ferrari Teslas.

 

[Tetsujin]

Would be nice if Lyles could contribute a little. 3 point shot escaped him in his stint

Yeah but just imagine his minutes going to Keegan in a regular situation.

Grant's gonna try tho, in'he?

Yes, we should all cool this bit off.

Brown wants this team to take 40 threes per game and they took 23 in the first half.

Better yet, after a slow start they're up to 43.5% from outside.

The Blazers have a slightly better 3p% but on a lot fewer attempts (5/11)

Sharpe keeps playing like that and he's the best guy off their bench.

 

[Woot!]

Pretty sure I saw 4-13 at one point. If that's right, they finished the half 6-10.

The Blazers offense reminds me so much of the Luke Walton offense from his first year in Sacramento. Lots of standing around on the perimeter until the big sets one screen at the top of the key hoping to rub his guy off onto the ballhandler and then sheer panic for the rest of the possession when that inevitably doesn't work.

well see, the Blazers also have a coach who has no business in his job.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Okay, halftime show…who selects these acts?!?

Probably the same guy who invites all the random people court side

Mike Brown with his customary fast time out

Huerter was an amazing pickup by Monte.
