[Game] Kings vs. Wizards, 12/15/2021 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[Tetsujin]

Looks like Gafford pulled something scoring on Len.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Off-night steals Dinwiddie's soul

 

[Tetsujin]

Davion starting leads to better defense to start the game. Who'd have thought it (aside from everyone)?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Doug Christie with his first lead as a head coach! Edit: It's gone.

Davion starting leads to better defense to start the game. Who'd have thought it (aside from everyone)?

It's a weird theory, but starting good defensive players leads to better defense.

 

[Tetsujin]

Beal tried to post up Davion like he's never seen a highlight tape of Off-Night before.

 

[parker]

Fox just tired? He walked gingerly to the bench.

 

[SacTownKid]

Wow, DC isn't running his rotations like a dumb *** this game. Playing guys legit minutes rather than subbing like a showcase team. Strange.

 

[Tetsujin]

Harrell has to be the worst pick-and-roll defender we've seen this season

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Hali doesn't care who his big man is, he's gonna get him the lob.

What's the problem?

Tried going to a timeout when the game was still going. Have had multiple times where highlight packages have played while actual buckets were being scored in the game.

 

[kb02]

Hali and Mitchell each have more minutes than Fox. Kings lead. Not a coincidence.

 

[Sluggah]

Fox just tired? He walked gingerly to the bench.

Looked like he took a knee to the thigh at some point.

Tyrese missed Len on a wide open alley oop right before he left ... instead passed to mitchell. Would have been another easy Len alley oop.

I’ve noticed a few times where theKinfs instinct is to pass the ball out to 3’ on pick and roll instead of going for the roll first & only passing if the defense rotates. These easy paint baskets missed add up for a team that doesn’t get much inside points.

this is something the Kings need to do more of - if a play works run it 5 straight times. This is what a team like the Suns do so well.
I remember a game a couple weeks back where Fox & Len scores 2 straight times on a corner pick and roll ... I don’t remember them running that again that game.

 

[Woot!]

Once again, HB ignored on offense.

 

[Tetsujin]

Once again, HB ignored on offense.

Probably a good idea right now. Harrison's been missing EVERYTHING

 

[Jones2006]

Hali doesn't care who his big man is, he's gonna get him the lob.

except for the play right after when Len beat Harrel down the court for another easy dunk but Tyrese passed to the corner instead.

len’s open a lot on pick and rolls but the Kings rarely find him. Need to run it all day, it practically always leads to a good shot even if it’s just fox using the Len pick to get open.

 

[captain bill]

Scrap heap lineup out there

 

[kb02]

Buddy and Metu are clumsy

 

[Woot!]

Probably a good idea right now. Harrison's been missing EVERYTHING

Ignoring him won't help him get back on track.

 

[Tetsujin]

Bertan's contract makes Buddy's look like a bargain in comparison

 

[Woot!]

Ridiculous continuation call.

 

[kb02]

Kings really need to move the ball more on offense.

 

[kb02]

Buddy really is a special kind of clumsy this game

 

[Woot!]

Buddy's a disaster.

 

[Tetsujin]

Remember when Kings fans got excited about Damian Jones's effort? That's not him right now since he's gotten put in the rotation.

 

[Tetsujin]

Buddy's a disaster.

You unjinxed him!
