A contender just became a bottom feeder. I don’t if it’s good or bad? More competition for a top pick, oR less competition for a playoff spot?

Are we really sure that Houston got worse? Oladipo seems like a great fit next to Wall, certainly better than a fat and disinterested Harden.

I thought his fouling would improve as he became acclimated to starting instead of being an energy guy. I was partially right so far but it does seem to have plateaued at a still problematic level.

quickly becoming the identity of this years Kings team. If they’re hitting their shots, the games should be a high scoring back and forth battle. If they aren’t hitting them, they’ll get blown out while allowing opponents to score 120+ points

Obviously a fun quarter other than Lillard deep 3’s. Fox and Hield are hot. I’d like to make 1 observation…

Buddy’s team defense has really improved which has helped the Kings. He’s running on switches to contest 3’s and when the shot is up, he’s running to put a body for a board.

I’ve been really critical about Buddy’s defense but credit where credit is due…he has improved.

A lot of his assists look effortless. Kidd, Stockton and, dare one say it, Doncic come to mind in this regard. His ability to get players the ball where they want it is striking.

One difference between this game against the Blaze and the last game against the Blaze is the beginning of the 3rd, in the last game the Kings struggled to handle the physicality of the Blaze players. Tonight they have rolled with the bumps and pushes and thrived.

Apparently the Kings will win some games this year but won’t win any comfortably. For whatever reason when they get a big lead, all hell breaks loose.

I’m coming to the side of keeping Barnes. His stats aren’t wowing today, but if he keeps playing this year like he is the last several games, he’s the perfect kind of veteran to provide good on court leadership for the younger players, while also throwing in a great game here and there. His contract actually might be a good one to keep.

Yes it’s absolutely ridiculous. I hope we prioritize defense and effort at the trade deadline/draft/offseason. I literally chalked that 43-33 first quarter up as a hidden loss because we gave up 33 points. I was right.

Partially. I saw a breakdown by Steph about how he comes off screens. He said when he goes around the screen he grabs the screener’s calf to draw himself in as close as possible and cut off the defender.

Playoff teams execute and exploit the mistakes of their opponents down the stretch. Non-playoff teams do the opposite. So Portland won this game.

As an aside, hearing Doug sugar coat Dame blowing by Fox for a critical layup, “I love that he stayed with Lillard”, was really annoying.

Dame gave Fox a lesson on what a great PG does. Fox played really well, but doesn’t have that drive, that killer instinct that Lillard does.

Lillard is a first ballot HOF. Fox will never get there. That’s all. One has Mamba Mentality. The other happy just being a very good player with a Max deal.

This team’s ceiling is Sub .500. Maybe .500 if a bunch of teams sit players due to Covid. Kings will have to make moves. If they ever expect to rise to the next level. At a minimum, Kings need at least one star. Maybe Hali, once he starts getting 35 a night. But, In reality that star is not coming to Sac in free agency. Trade or draft are the only hope. Trades are going to be tough because of Walton. Kings desperately need a good pick this year.

“Katie, let’s keep it real.”

I’m starting to like this Kyle Draper guy. After Kayte tries to get people to believe that the Kings can win games by outscoring their opponents like the 1980s Denver Nuggets, Draper brings Mitch into the conversation to shut the absurdity down.

Now, Kayte’s going on about how Lillard is a “great player”, C. J McCollum is a great player”, to excuse Fox, who just got a max deal, but apparently shouldn’t be subjected to the expectations that come with getting such a deal. We should just accept, I guess, that players like Dame are going to dominate him when the game is on the line.

Now, the postgame show is moving on to praising Buddy despite the fact that he missed several critical shots down the stretch. Celebrating Hield and Fox for playing well except during the final critical minutes.

Draper: “Buddy took 18 3s”

Kayte: “In Buddy’s defense . . . ”

Working the postgame show looks like a tough gig.

I knew when the Kings came out with 43 in the first. It was all downhill after that. Fox looked like he might go for 50. Then, I realized.. This is Fox’s game. Bi-Polar. He comes out in the second qtr with tunnel vision. He completely forgot his play in the first qtr. He played well in the third. Then was mediocre in the 4th.
