[Game] VSL Game 1 (7/7/2023): Kings vs Hawks 7:30pm Pacific, 10:30 Eastern

[Tetsujin]

Kessler leading all scorers by virtue of being fouled taking a three and banking in another one

 

[The_Jamal]

Oof. Edwards finally made a 3, but that wasn't pretty.

Yeah, I do want to see him just launch though. These are gonna be the most contested shots he'll take all year; if he can nail these, he can hit the C&S stuff with the big league squad.

 

[Tetsujin]

Announcers loving Mohammed Gueye, who has been terrible aside from being ridiculously athletic.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Okay I'm ready to see Slawson take a few minutes as a small five. Trey's courtside to give him some pointers

 

[The_Jamal]

Defense is sick. Offense looks like a 24 Hour fitness run.

 

[Tetsujin]

Mutts sighting!

 

[Tetsujin]

Nice move by Keon and a Jalen Three

 

[Tetsujin]

Man, this defense is stiffling

 

[The_Jamal]

Slawson on griffin, this should be fun

 

[The_Jamal]

Slawson forces Griffin into a TO. Right after hitting a C&S three. Niiiice

 

[Tetsujin]

Keon is such a smart team defender

 

[dude12]

That was a whole bunch of intense D. Keon Ellis can play

 

[Tetsujin]

Luke ran a Keon/Colby/Kessler/Mutts/Slawsom defensive lineup to end the quarter

[The_Jamal]

Might need Slawson to really bust out the point-forward skill-set on this team. Just such little creation with any of these guys.

The defense is super super fun though. I think we'd womp everyone here if Keegan were playing.

 

[dude12]

Manek looks like Justin Turner

 

[Tetsujin]

Queta took a bad step

 

[Tetsujin]

Jordan Ford might be our only iso scorer lol

 

[HndsmCelt]

Manek looks like the 1970s, the entire 1970s every TV show every band the guy down the street who went to Nam all of them

 

[Tetsujin]

K’Von appearance!

 

[dude12]

Sac just keeping the pedal down. Press on D and run on O. Depth is going to wear out the ATL

 

[The_Jamal]

Wussy foul call on Ford. Nearly stripped Bufkin. Still, making a great case for that third 2-way slot.

 

[SLAB]

Man, you’re cool and all Hierter. But I don’t need to see you being interviewed.

 

[Tetsujin]

Challenge that

 

[KainLear]

Loving the effort so far. As expected, they are gonna miss Keegan and struggle offensively. Low scoring game but love the hustle.

 

[Tetsujin]

Mutts and Slawson are trying to out-gritty point forward each other

 

[dude12]

Sac needs to bring out the secret weapon O’Connell to score 12 points in 5 minutes

Nice defensive ability from Mutts so far.

 

[The_Jamal]

Mutts and Slawson are trying to out-gritty point forward each other

He only has credit for 1 board, but I'm pretty sure he has like 17 tip outs already.
