[Game] Preseason Kings vs. Suns, 10/4/21 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern (Kings.com)

[SLAB]

My lord Davion

 

[Tetsujin]

Kinda want to see us go full on death lineup and try Barnes/Buddy/Davion/Fox/Tyrese just for fun.

 

[EIM86]

He is but the ball movement is better when both Mitchell and Haliburton are on the floor

We get it you want to trade Fox for Simmons lol

 

[Double-K]

Tristan's pretty good on the OREB scene...

 

[Tetsujin]

The best way to describe Tristan’s impact on the game is less hairy Reggie Evans.

 

[Tetsujin]

hot take: Davion may be the best defensive rookie I have ever seen.

 

[SacTownKid]

Barnes can play PF, Harkless? Eh. Barnes and Harkless together is an option.

Has a rookie back up PG ever won Defensive Player of the Year?

 

[SLAB]

No Metu at all makes me sad..,

 

[Tetsujin]

Ty’s court vision is insane

 

[Double-K]

HALIBRUTON! ANY QUESTIONS?

 

[Iced Espresso]

Mitchell has gotten his man to give up the ball a few times tonight, the next guy who got the ball turned it over shortly right after.

 

[Sluggah]

Davion needs to be on the court…a lot.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Suns haven’t been able to run the offense through their lead guard whenever Davion has been on the floor.

 

[Double-K]

Davion needs to be on the court…a lot.

I'm ready for the 3-guard lineup!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

This team is looking dangerous in transition.

 

[mac]

I like Tyrese

 

[iowamcnabb]

No Metu at all makes me sad..,

Relax, Walton has the last 50 seconds ear marked for him.

 

[kingsboi]

bench crew needs to play in the 4th here Luke, starters sit em out

 

[Tetsujin]

Very early in the season but Monte refusing to include any of Swipa/Tyrese/Mitchell inSimmons trade talks might have been a very smart move.

 

[EIM86]

the rebound stat lines have stuck out from people that usually don’t grab boards

 

[mac]

They even full court pressed one play. DC must be on the bench smiling.

Not to be a downer, but you do remember they ran similar press/traps to in preseason/early last season and we were all high on Rex Kalamian?

 

[SacTownKid]

The Suns haven’t been able to run the offense through their lead guard whenever Davion has been on the floor.

It should be noted however that their lead guards are Cameron Payne and Elfrid Payton. Two players that have a career assist ratio not too far off of Buddy Hields, haha.

True, but Rex still ran his typical help system like Tetsujin brought up at the time so that strategy wasn't too shocking that it stuck. You're right though, this is Luke Walton we're talking about here. You're never safe. haha.

At least we know he can create off nights for backup points guards at the worst lol

it was a guess on potential but after watching this game I’m convinced it is the best way to make the play-offs

 

[Kingz19]

Interesting to see Mitchell pick up full court.

You knew the Kings when incorporate some full court pressure stuff if Doug was coming on the staff. Pretty much every game he called he would plead for more full court pressure.

 

[EIM86]

it was a guess on potential but after watching this game I’m convinced it is the best way to make the play-offs

I’m pretty sure the large majority here would at least want to see how the 3 guard lineup looks up till the all star break

 

[New Era]

I've watched junior college games streaming that are more stable than this connection has been tonight.

They have to let the season play out a little before deciding anything. A Paul and Bookerless Suns might be the worst team in the league. Plus they are sitting Ayton now.
