Buddy and HG building chemistry.

Buddy and HG building chemistry.

It's about dang time they started really going to a middle pick and roll for Buddy. You are seeing how dominant he can be there. Where was this 2 months ago?

 

[Groovygreg]

Buddy seems to be playing well tonight.

 

[chief bromden]

Not sure if Grant talking nice about Dedmon and Harry tonight is recognition of their play or trying to prop up their trade value lol

Seriously Harry looks so nice out there

 

[KainLear]

I have been trying to find different excuses in my head for us not picking up Giles' clause, but every time I watch him play, I can't help but be baffled by that decision.

Although, purely from a basketball fan's standpoint, if he ends up getting picked up by, say the Spurs on the cheap, he might actually have a higher chance to fulfill his potential...

Buddy has been so much more efficient since coming off the bench.

De'Aaron is having another superstar game

It's such a relief to see, he must have really been pressing as the starter.

I think he realized what he needs to do to help the team.

Although I'm worried about the amount of time he spent on the floor being such a brave bouncy fox (Thanks VF21, I miss that gif).

 

[gunks]

Fox is a stud.

And I hope Buddy can really embrace that bench role, because it's night and day. He was a scrub as a starter but he's just been killing it as a 6th man.

 

[KainLear]

Just much more space for him with less pressure. I'm also much lenient with him dribbling the ball when he's with the 2nd unit instead of the 1st.

 

[KainLear]

Minnesota is just dreadful...

 

[KainLear]

Also liking what I see from Dedmon in general... he's definitely filling a role we desperately need in interior defense. If I was the GM, I'd probably slightly ease up on the trade talk just wait for the best offer instead of jumping on the first team to bite.

 

[KainLear]

FOX WITH THE SMART PASS!

Dedmon doing work tonight

Great game but...man, can Harry get more than 8 minutes? Why is he restricted to like 16 minutes every game? He should take Tolliver's minutes. No reason to even play Tolliver.

I feel that there must have been something behind the scene we didn't know that led to the contract situation and his minute.

He is the backup center, so 16 is pretty normal. Tolliver is playing next to him so I'm not sure they can clone Giles and give him Tollivers mins.

But he got 16 as the starting C against the Lakers when Dedmon was out lol.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Is there such a thing as a must win game in a lost season?

There is when the Timberwolves are involved.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I don’t think KAT’s the “problem“ with Minnesota any more than Fox is with Sacramento.

Meh. Far be it from me to beat a "dead horse," but all the on-court criticisms that Kings Fans and local media had about your last All-Star are actually true about Karl-Anthony Towns. That dude just gets a pass because he's not "volatile," or whatever. #SAWFT

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Dedmon cannot catch a pocket pass to save his life. So frustrating to watch it happen over and over again.

So, what you're saying is that he's been possessed by the spirit of Mikki Moore?

 

[VF21]

There's a thread completely dedicated to discussing that very thing.

 

[SLAB]

Who does Dedmon think he is running point-center? HG?

 

[Kings_of_California]

Fox will officially be averaging over 20 ppg once this game is over.

 

[KainLear]

There's a thread completely dedicated to discussing that very thing.

Are you telling me that so I don't start a conversation in the game thread about it? Or that there is an answer to my question in that other post?

 

[KingKong]

Where was this for most of the season? The movement, the shooting, the defense.

Don't jinx it! I'm not convinced that this is here to stay...

We haven't played Minnesota every game.
