I’m feeling a touch of anxiety about integrating a key player back into the system after missing so many games. But I would be more concerned if we were talking about Bagley. Holmes will integrate better and faster than most. But the way Giles and Len are getting it done, I really don’t want to see either of them demoted to a 12th man.

Attended the game tonight. Worst start to a game I can recall in a while. Thought they might have lost the game in Q1. Luckily the KINGS kinda sorta woke up and the Pistons suddenly remembered that they sucked. That, and Derrick Rose didn‘t come back to play (hope he’s ok!).
They really needed that W! Gotta win all these home games.

Parker had ample opportunities elsewhere, and he ended up on the Kings in a bad contract dump trade.
Also, he clearly doesn't think he gets paid to be a team guy and cheer on his team from the bench. His uninterested body language and lack of reaction to the exploits of his teammates is annoying. Tolliver wasn't playing but he was as enthusiastic as ever.

I went to the game too. When the score was 18-1, I was wondering why the hell did I choose this game to attend. But I kept thinking it’s still early and the kings have come back from much worse. Glad they pulled it off.
Like I said before, I don’t care who’s hurt when they play the kings as long as we get the win. No Paul George? No steph or Klay? No JJJ? No d rose or Blake griffin? All I see is W, W, W, W. I’ll take them any way we can get them.

That our #2 pick is injury-prone, has played less career games than the guy who sat out an entire season and whose knees are so bad we declined his option, and in his limited time on the floor this season has played worse than a guy earning half his salary whose career averages are 8points/6boards? At this point you can't even say with absolute confidence that Bagley is the 4th best big on this team lol.
I never thought Len would ever become one of my favorite players to watch, in terms of winning the Dedmon for Len is looking like Kwame for Pau atm. The amount of offensive tips he kept alive today that lead to points was out of this world. With the toughness/size and aggro he's looking like Mavs title run Chandler. What on earth is going on?
Marvin hasn't played with Bazemore. Ariza was getting 33 min a game and buddy was starting and Bogdan was injured most of the games as well as Fox. Dedmon was getting backup min instead of Harry. Alot has changed. for instance nobody here would fault Holmes for anything but were losing while he was starting as well. the Bazemore trade made a huge difference and Harry and Len vs Dedmon is an upgrade. apparently buddy from the bench is working well also.
Giles and len is working at the moment but we need Holmes to come back and take some strain off. Then Bagley later and figure out who works best and when. maybe Bagley will be back by the playoffs

Fox has been the difference in this teams play recently, along with an ease up in the toughness of the schedule. Offensively, every other Kings player has benefited from Fox's aggressiveness and control of the team. Even if Dedmon were still in the lineup, this team would be playing better. Defensively, Bazemore has lit a fire under a lot of the guys.
What you see is the effects that a guy playing like an all star has on a team.

"Counting stats" or box score stats are always relevant because they are the foundation on which advanced stats are built off of. Advanced stats are someone's opinions about what a certain combination of box score stats means. Interestingly, the weight or importance of advanced stats change from year to year once a flaw is found in them.
Advanced stats are a tool, not an answer.
