The no-look from Haliburton! Few players in the league are more fun to watch. 👀 pic.twitter.com/jIvIUJd5SN

tyrese is like Doug Christie and J-Will’s love child but with the shooting stroke of young Peja

Doo-Rag King sighting! yes

 

[SLAB]

There it is TD. Keep Launching!

 

[macadocious]

ok, done trying to watch this nonsense. Keeps cutting out and screeching.

Summer League squad re-uniting

 

[sactowndog]

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

Yeah Monte kicked me off for the third time with a bogus out of area message. So I am done for the night. Typical Kangz

I can't take it any more either.

 

[Entity]

Well that went to crap quickly lol.

 

[sactowndog]

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.

no they don’t. The longer they wait the more likely Philly asks for Hali or Mitchell.

 

[SacTownKid]

no they don’t. The longer they wait the more likely Philly asks for Hali or Mitchell.

I thought it was reported they already did. Early on they supposedly demanded Haliburton. If they were going to take Buddy/Bagley that deal would have been done already.

 

[SacTownKid]

Well that went to crap quickly lol.

Coleman, still not a PG. His agent must have some nudes of someone important stashed away somewhere.

 

[SLAB]

no they don’t. The longer they wait the more likely Philly asks for Hali or Mitchell.

Then they get nothing. Simple as that. Lol

 

[D13]

No sound, freezing, freezing some more, refresh constant, commercials louder than the game call, can't watch this like this... high tech my ass, thanks alot Vivek... we might as well have a used car salesman own the team.

 

[EIM86]

no they don’t. The longer they wait the more likely Philly asks for Hali or Mitchell.

that was already part of the trade discussed.

 

[SacTownKid]

Lou King is running point now.

 

[SacTownKid]

That looked like an awkward movement to me. Coleman despite him not being a PG is a really good defender.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Metu loves the Goal tending and three ball haha

 

[kingsboi]

I'd like to see Queta and Terry get some burn next game

 

[iowamcnabb]

Depth will make the kings more tolerable this year. Seemed like defense was ok. Will be interesting to see what the next starting lineup looks like

When I saw the play live it reminded me a tad of the typical showtime LAL fastbreak from the 80’s. Tyrese playing the role of Magic.

 

[Noble]

I really liked the bench lineup of Mitchell, Heild, Davis, Harkless, TT. Len was also pretty solid all around. Starters looked ok, Haliburton shined the most with the amazing feeds. Bagley looked pretty good as well, hustled and just kept grinding.

MAD SHUMPERT ENERGY

Hopefully McNair doesn’t trade him for Willie Cauley-Stein at the deadline.

 

[sactowndog]

Interesting stat line for Mitchell:
7 points, 3 assists, 1 board seems meh

but his +/- is a +20!

normally that stat doesn’t mean much but when you are >5 points the next closest player it makes one think.

Hali is next with a +15. Both of them do a great job of getting teammates involved.

Shumpert's leadership but the fundamental difference is Thompson can rebound and play defense at a high level. He talks the talk and walks the walk.

 

[ESP47]

Trading Shumpert was stupid that year but remember that his play dropped off a cliff and the Kings record started to go south before he got traded. His play never recovered after that. I think Shumpert was just on a hot streak to start that year, which really helped the Kings record early on but I don't think trading him had any real on court impact in the grand scheme of things.

It was definitely bad for the locker room though.

Yeah I don't think it was as much about his on-court impact as it was his off. He honestly wasn't even that good the first part of the year just played "hard". But I distinctly remember the entire team just being flat out sad for like 2 weeks afterwards and that absolutely showed on the court.
