Blazers need to McCollum and Bill Walton and Maurice Lucas back into the game……. Oh wait.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I think Brown is more concerned that the team doesn't start flat defensively. Brown knows Okpala mucks up the offense.

Yep, and that's exactly why Keegan is coming off the bench. As long as the first team can silence the opponent and Keegan adds a punch to the second unit's scoring, if he's getting 30 minutes a game does it matter if he starts?

 

[Tetsujin]

The Kings might just be one of the if not the best guard pick and roll teams this year.

And we haven't even used Keegan as a screener in a pick and roll yet.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Like a lot of high-level roleplayers. Barnes is a lot more useful on a team that plays more team-oriented basketball.

 

[dude12]

Lyles, Metu and Murray right now

 

[Tetsujin]

Did not realize that Keegan's growth spurt was that drastic. Yeesh.

 

[Tetsujin]

Davion's midrange game looking better already

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Mitchell's hesi is looking Kelsey Plum-like.

 

[dude12]

Fox and Huerter haven’t played in a long time

 

[KainLear]

Nurk is bullying us

 

[Tetsujin]

The Metu at five experiment not going great. Just not big enough to guard Nurk.

 

[dude12]

Nurkic feasting on Metu

will be situational.

 

[macadocious]

Metu is a man without a position

This is one of our main competitors for a playoff seed this season and they're getting run off the court. Sure it's pre-season but it's easy to see the blueprint. We've got multiple defenders to put on Lillard and nobody else on Portland is winning this on their own. I think if we continue to play this hard we're going to be a tough matchup for all but the upper tier playoff teams.

 

[SacTownKid]

The tweener frontline is having some real struggles.

 

[Tetsujin]

Lyles might be one of the rare cases where him losing weight was a bad idea.

 

[Livinthedream]

Glad the Kings don't have to rely on Metu and Lyles anymore. That was a rough stint.

 

[joemama]

I see no purpose for try lyles

Since Holmes is sick throw Queta out there against Nurk.

Holmes is sick. Why does Covid have to be mentioned if it’s not Covid? I mean the could say Holmes is out with a non cancerous illness. It feels the same

Both were our starters at one point or another.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kings' bigs don't have the necessary range to go small against bigs like Nurkic.

 

[Tetsujin]

How's that De'Aaron shot looking today???

 

[dude12]

Fox is a 3 and D guy!

 

[macadocious]

Fox D to 3

 

[NewArena]

If Fox is gonna be hitting threes like this … my goodness

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Holmes is sick. Why does Covid have to be mentioned if it’s not Covid? I mean the could say Holmes is out with a non cancerous illness. It feels the same

Is cancer contagious?

 

[Tetsujin]

KEEGAN NEVER MISSING AGAIN!!!!!
