Pre-season Kings/Warriors game thread

[Livinthedream]

People have to realize the Kings are going to be bad this year, although hopefully not this bad.

Yeah. The Warriors are playing for Seattle, by way of Durant, right now. It might as well be playoff Warriors vs. Preseason Kings. No analysis needed in this game.

Less about confidence and more about bball IQ for me.. We all know Giles doesn't have confidence issues. He plays too aggressive to a fault. We just need to see him take smarter shots. Trying to force the basket around 2 defenders? He'll learn though

Harry has a good basketball IQ and feel for the game, this is a trial period for him and testing out what works for him and what doesn't. He'll only get better as the season goes on. He's the player I'm least worried about, other than Fox.

And that's what gives us hope my friend. we're kings fans after all. we set the bar lower than a yogi Stewart free throw..

in other news,


home schooled or not, he's about as useless of a NBA player that there is in the league right about now. It's harsh but it's the truth, he just drifts around and doesn't really do much at all on either end.

Unfortunately, the only 3 on the roster.

Did anyone else put the dots together? Bravo NBA on what sure looks to be a well orchestrated joke
on the red headed step children of the league. I can't believe I didn't see it sooner. So, the Kings are playing Seattle's boy Durant in the city that would have had the Kings. On a back to back in preseason? Going from a late game in LA to Seattle the next day? I hope Vivek knows he's getting dumped on here. Then you have some of the most atrocious illegal screening and opposite no calls? It's only preseason but holy cow paybacks a you know what I guess. Vivek is paying his dues tonight haha.

That's no one elses fault but Vlade, he's the one who assembled 7 PFs and a hand full of guards, with only one true SF

nah brah. we're just that bad.

Sitting in the airport in LA. From this and the bad reception on my phone it’s pretty clear I don’t have to stay up late to watch

avoid. this game (at least the first half) will stomp out any positives you might have experienced from last night's game.

 

[SacTownKid]

Joeger is public enemy #1 get Blatt in here we’re wasting time with this clown

He should at least donate some money to show he cares. Preseason techs get you extra points with the kiddies.

The head scratcher is why for two games he had them switch screens early, yet against the best teams at making you defend as a team he didn't do it. Tons of football screens were allowed to boot.

 

[LoungeLizard]

I can’t help but feel we’d be right there with the Ws if Yogi was playing.

 

[SacTownKid]

nah brah. we're just that bad.

Not this bad but it doesn't matter, look at the spectacle and how the tables were clearly stacked. I say they should embrace it. Their response could mean a lot.

Who's the "true SF"? Because I know you're not pretending that Jackson is anything close to an NBA SF right now.

what else is he then? He sure isn't a SG or a PF.

Skal should strictly be a pick and roll player yet he’s always trying to post up like the rest of the players.

Don’t know why anybody fell for the play faster nonsense we heard in training camp

 

[SacTownKid]

See Justin just got mugged on a screen. So blatent. C'mon Dave show your commitment, your players need some help.

yeah back to back has a significant impact, especially considering all the old legs we got on this team and how deep into the season we are

 

[NewArena]

Meh. these cheaters should beat every team in the league like this after picking up Durant

No excuse

 

[biltalent]

Willie still trying to steal rebounds from his teammates.

 

[SacTownKid]

Throw this horn in the trash. Just erase the board and move on.

 

[NewArena]

I always found it odd that we were supposed to empathize with a city that was perfectly fine taking away our team.

Yea i remember a lot of their comments back then. Pretty disgusting even though it was in the heat of the moment

Yeah thats not the best way to put it. I was pissed. they call it seeing ghosts tho, at times its like he's seeing defender that isn't there.


and he jus throws a sloppy inbounds pass to fox, turnover.

 

[Ozymandias]

Buddy's defense or lack thereof is making JVG angry on the broadcast "Thats Klay Thompson!!"

They showed a replay so he could chide him further
"Thats god awful"

 

[burekijogurt]

Van Gundy does not sound like someone who would let Buddy work through his mistakes .

 

[Ozymandias]

Monster dunk by Jones again, uncontested.

 

[Kingsfan23]

I want to see Fox/Yogi backcourt this preseason, to see if it could function. That would free up minutes for Mason though, and as big of a Buddy fan as I am he might be better coming off the bench after all

 

[Ozymandias]

Nice oboard and putback by Marvin, he's so quick around the basket.

 

[biltalent]

JVG is loosing it on the telecast haha. "Buddy Hield If you're going under one more screen, I'm loosing my mind! You're guarding Klay Thompson!"

 

[SacTownKid]

I would expect him to understand a double screen like that relies strictly on help in the modern NBA. Unless he has a bone to pick. Sure sounds like it.

 

[Ozymandias]

When Giles just hit that 3 he said something to the Warriors bench. LOL

noticed that as well, wonder what could it possibly be down 40
