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

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I was half kidding about the pineapple.. it has its place but its not my favorite topping. I do find it hilarious though how some people just cannot stand the idea of it. One of my coworkers gets pissed if anyone orders pizza at work with pineapple on it and it cracks me up every time.

I like chicken, garlic, and white sauce on my pizza though if I get to pick so I know I'm a heathen.

I usually end up just getting pepperoni, but that's more of a function of me being too cheap to pay for extra toppings. I don't generally think of pepperoni as my favorite, but it is the only topping I'll eat on a pizza, by itself, so maybe it is?

If I feel like "splurging" on extra toppings, I can't go wrong with supreme, but Pepperoni/Mushroom/Pineapple is like comfort food, to me.

 

[SacTownKid]

not every 5 is a "unicorn" that's a unique term that was supposed to be about a player like Porzingis

That's why in the modern era Bagley is a 5. And we've seen zero minutes of that in preseason. Which is the time you experiment with that.

 

[kingsboi]

Not that hot only in Sacramento do we think he’s some franchise number 1 guy




The problem is he can’t do nothing out there that’s why we needed to try for Turner




We’re just gonna blame the next coach as well repeat the cycle

What makes you believe Indiana is interested in trading Turner? They are still in win now mode

 

[SacTownKid]

That was offensive on Wiggins.

That was one of the most horrendous calls we've seen in awhile. Bron wouldn't even get that call, haha.

 

[kingsboi]

That's why in the modern era Bagley is a 5. And we've seen zero minutes of that in preseason. Which is the time you experiment with that.

until Bagley is a threat from deep on a consistent basis, his position should remain as the 4 in my opinion

 

[hrdboild]

Haliburton is already a legend! I love hearing about players who do their homework off the court.

 

[Iced Espresso]

That was offensive on Wiggins.

Good call, you were faster than the replay.

 

[SLAB]

Of course that was offensive. 280 pound dude’s don’t go flying backwards all on their own.

As well you should. Repeating the cycle is the issue and it's the coaches doing it. Monte McNair set the parameters so either he's full of it, or he's watching this sharpening his ax.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Good call, you were faster than the replay.

Technically I beat the challenge call, too.

 

[SLAB]

I feel silly for mocking the Warriors earlier tonight. We look abysmal now. Lol

 

[DesertFox]

Whiteside might be the worst passer in the NBA.

 

[SacTownKid]

until Bagley is a threat from deep on a consistent basis, his position should remain as the 4 in my opinion

How so? That seems a bit counterproductive at this point. He should play some PF but my goodness, at least half of those minutes should come at center.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Whiteside might be the worst passer in the NBA.

Right on time!

 

[SacTownKid]

Whiteside might be the worst passer in the NBA.

I think the skill is there but his hands have always been his weakness.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Love the Haliburton pass fake, but that shot has to fall!

 

[Joshoua]

Someone gonna tell whiteside curry can shoot so stop giving him 10 feet of space on the pick

 

[kingsboi]

How so? That seems a bit counterproductive at this point. He should play some PF but my goodness, at least half of those minutes should come at center.

he doesn't have the build of a center and he also has to defend them and that is foul trouble waiting to happen

 

[Joshoua]

Whiteside might be the worst passer in the NBA.

his pick and roll defense is worse

 

[Iced Espresso]

All right guys one shot, board, get it to 10 by the 4th.

 

[SacTownKid]

Gee, small unit looking better. LOL. Whiteside earned that T, bs no calls.

 

[SLAB]

“Remember that point, Doug.”

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Whiteside used the naughty word.

 

[SacTownKid]

he doesn't have the build of a center and he also has to defend them and that is foul trouble waiting to happen

And the alternative is this? You roll with it and see. He put on mass for a reason. We haven't seen that reason yet. Not even as an experiment. Inexcusable.

 

[Joshoua]

Haliburton is the real deal but he has the ugliest shot I’ve seen since MKG

 

[SactownShaq]

ain't even watch the game at all today, what I miss

 

[kingsboi]

I'm sure that time will eventually come but right now, with Holmes and Whiteside on the roster to fill that 5 spot, it's unlikely to happen

 

[SLAB]

ain't even watch the game at all today, what I miss

Fox looks bad. Bagley invisible. Holmes fouls a lot of people and looks awful from the top of the key.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Man Fox’s 3 point shot looks brutal so far this preseason . He has to clean that up

 

[Livinthedream]

Bagley is being asked to play on the perimeter for the first time in his career. Might take a few more live games for him to figure it out. Film study and drills is not a substitute for learning in real games.
