[Game] Preseason Game 1: Kings @ Blazers 12/11/2020 7:30pst,10:30est

[SLAB]

I’m upset Harrison Barnes doesn’t look homeless anymore.

Jones just said “Bagley back on the court”

—
Just not tonight, I guess.

No Hassan Whiteside or Marvin Bagley III for the Kings. Both stayed in Sacramento.

Oh awesome Jefferson is calling the game fml

 

[Shaqfuey]

I thought we’d get our new guy calling the game. Was looking forward to hearing him.

 

[Sluggah]

Jefferson?! Seriously?

 

[Hoovtrain]

Oh wait I can watch local feed lol

 

[Kingz19]

Oh good, it is broadcasting locally

 

[Shaqfuey]

I thought we’d get our new guy calling the game. Was looking forward to hearing him.

Never mind. I was on ESPN

 

[Tetsujin]

Never mind. I was on ESPN

To be fair, Mark Jones is the respected national play-by-play guy while ESPN is out here rocking their D team.

 

[Tetsujin]

Regretfully, I must inform you Luke’s bad horn sets are back.

 

[Sluggah]

Wait. Buddy started. I could have sworn I read somewhere that he can’t start. Weird.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Lol refs already in mid season form

 

[Livinthedream]

Buddy moving his feet defensively

 

[Kingz19]

We know who Buddy Hield is, Mark! You newb

 

[Hoovtrain]

Regretfully, I must inform you Luke’s bad horn sets are back.

Oh awesome

 

[Tetsujin]

Dame still thinks it’s the playoffs.

 

[Kingz19]

“Dame Dolla”

 

[Hoovtrain]

Kings defense also in mid season form

 

[NewArena]

Why’re we playing zone defense as if that’s ever worked? Anyway, it’s so nice to see our guys back out there. I love seeing Fox get to that foul line

 

[SacTownKid]

Two big problems early, still too much motion, not enough open space and he's running a lineup that CAN'T SWITCH. So far this looks a lot like it already did.

 

[dude12]

Can we go small already?

 

[SacTownKid]

The only positive is that if Luke has no choice but to play Buddy then some games might be more competitive since it increases the chances of a Buddy one man army comeback. lol.

 

[Groovygreg]

Buddy’s stroke looks good.

 

[Iced Espresso]

I liked that little trap they did once Melo came in. Sure they hit the shot, but was nice to see them try to pressure the ball a bit.

Change up the flow. I don't mind it. Almost got a TO off of that 1-2-2.

 

[dude12]

I’m hoping this lineup is because they are familiar with each other only. Because when the season actually starts, you can’t run the same crap out there again

 

[Tetsujin]

Liking these defensive rotations better than last year’s already. Rex’s system won’t look as good without Kawhi or Bev but it’s a good modern one. And most teams aren’t going to come out incapable of missing like the Blazers.

 

[NewArena]

Pfft, Richard Jefferson is going to call our game after talking trash

Yuck. I had to turn back to our local broadcast

I’m hoping this lineup is because they are familiar with each other only. Because when the season actually starts, you can’t run the same crap out there again

this lineup was healthy together for like 3 games last season though

 

[Tetsujin]

Two big problems early, still too much motion, not enough open space and he's running a lineup that CAN'T SWITCH. So far this looks a lot like it already did.

The transition stuff looked really nice. Unfortunately the set offense is still what Luke was running with the Lakers.

 

[kb02]

Pfft, Richard Jefferson is going to call our game after talking trash

I think he was joking. Jefferson and Walton are best friends. Even got into trouble, because he was vacationing with the Walton's when they were at Arizona together. NCAA benefits.
