[Game] Preseason Game 4: Kings vs. Warriors, 12/17/2020, 6:00pm PST, 9:00pm EST

I don't think we need to worry about minutes for Haliburton. Based on pre-season he'll be the first guard off the bench and should get around 30 minutes a game. I've been very impressed with his defense so far.

Other 4 game (over) reactions...

Hassan is the starter. He's both a stifling defensive presence and an instant fast break catalyst. Bagley and Metu would be my other rotation bigs with Bjelica getting spot minutes when we want another shooter. I've been pleasantly surprised by Bagley's activity level on defense. Keep it up big guy! Fox's shooting is already a concern. Holmes and Barnes aren't inspiring me with a lot of confidence on either end of the floor right now. Buddy continues to be frustrating at times but he's so money from range that he still needs to be out there as much as possible. No one else on our team presents the same scoring threat. And he's looked like he cares about defense this year which is encouraging. Oh yeah and Kyle Guy! GOAT! That's all I've got.

Agree until the 2H when he starts over Buddy. Best man starts.

See, as soon as I critisize Holmes and Barnes they both show me something. Clearly I need to post in game threads more often! :cool:

I don't know why the Warriors aren't zoning this unit. They are letting them drive and dish on them and pick and roll them with ease.
 
I understand they're easing Bagley in by having him play just the 4, but it's not going to work well next to Whiteside or Holmes. Especially since it looks like Fox's 3 hasn't developed yet.
 
That guy just stopped a drive dead in his tracks because of the mere presence of Hassan, leading to a turnover. I love it.
 
The Kings are supposed to be playing the way the Dubs are right now. Fox shouldn't have to shoot 3's he should be draw and kicking to others for crap sake.
 
Fox needs to keep shooting. That's what pre-season is for. He's not going to find his shot if he's afraid to take them. I don't mind the ugly misses as much as I mind him passing up open shots.
