Are you kidding me right now?

Ummmmm

Step 1: Score
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Win

"Much like last year", Bogi has alternated possessions between thinking he's Kobe and making the right basketball play but making it like he's a man who's never touched a basketball before.

he took a Kobe like 8 shots so far.

 

[kingsboi]

well Kings allowed the Knicks to hang around and gain confidence and now it's going to be another game that's going to go down to the wire apparently.....meh

 

[Kings_of_California]

Can't ever have it easy of course. Not even against the Knicks.

 

[Tetsujin]

It's not the amount of shots that's the issue, it's the fact that he's taking the air out of the ball

Not feeding Bagley enough in the high post

Marvin has been open in the post early in the clock this entire stretch and our guards have only gotten him the ball like twice.

He's not really setting up though. He did once and he got fouled on the play. They are running a lot of pick and roll with him. They need to clear a side. The Knicks went to the same Box and 1 the Kings ran against Houston. They are looking to shore up the middle. That Bogdan play at the side is a better call but getting the ball in beyond the pressure is the answer.

 

[sactowndog]

Perhaps we should just go back with the starters.

If they are dead set on continuing to run the pick and roll then they need to run it in the high post. Not that extended one.

I think one of the things that gets overlooked about Buddy is that he's aggressive enough to throw the ball into the heart of the offense whereas a lot of our other guards play that super safe

 

[Kings_of_California]

Buddy double double alert

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

What's up with your boy Bogdanovic throwing up the Michael Jordan shrug, like he's been lighting it up the whole game?

 

[SacTownKid]

If I'm Walton I consider putting Barnes back in to guard Randle. He is the best shot at guarding him one on one. The Kings let the Knicks get hot so doubling off of spot shooters might not cut it. It's a 50/50 call if they do.

 

[Tetsujin]

A better stretch for Bogi here. Would like to see our guys try to push their way into the paint more down the stretch though.

you know the full context of the shrug, the person at which it was directed, or are you extrapolating from a 2 second tape?

 

[Tetsujin]

Why is Bogi on Morris in the first place?

 

[kingsboi]

Knicks making everything all of a sudden geez

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Wow, not remotely a foul!

 

[steelevt]

This is embarrassing

 

[Kings_of_California]

Pathetic. That's all there is too it - pathetic.

 

[Tetsujin]

Defensively might need Bjeli or Ariza in over Bogi

 

[SacTownGrantFan]

Finally the Knicks miss a three.

 

[joemama]

What is that 5 ruined possesions in a row for duddy?

 

[jcwkings]

If we lose, this loss goes on Walton for leaving Bagley in way too long.

 

[Hoovtrain]

cant Stand this crap. Everytime this team starts to play good ball and have a shot at .500, they pull this crap against inferior opponents

 

[SacTownGrantFan]

What is that 5 ruined possesions in a row for duddy?

So to you 32 pts on 19 shots, 10 boards, 3 turnovers is a 'dud'? How does that work

 

[Kings_of_California]

25-15 point differential this quarter, down by 2 to the Knicks with 2:39 remaining.

We're not really gonna do this, are we?

 

[SacTownKid]

It really is perplexing. I just don't get it. Bagley is right in his complaint that the Kings don't run anymore. Well, if you are going to be a control offensive team you can't ignore the post. This is another game that might be hung on the fact that they kept going to the same predictable sets over and over. How is it this hard to run a different play that goes to a different area of the floor?
