they have a lot of talent, it doesn't fit incredibly well but they're going to be competitive most nights and will def be in one of the play in games at least

nurse mad
Nick Nurse, asked about Malachi Flynn: "He was OK. I think my bigger thing is that, if you wanna be honest about it, he didn't really do much out there. And if you wanna be honest about it, Norm hasn't played very well this year, TD hasn't played well, Matt hasn't played well."— Josh Lewenberg (@JLew1050) January 5, 2021

the raps were playing mad in the 4th. but he needs to put siakam and all his big men on that list.

i dont even know what lonzo was doing with the ball at the end of the 4th - passes it to reddick who is getting trapped in the corner, then forgets he can drive right past mcdermott of all people??

the kings aren't some kind of desultory, untalented team. they have some ok players and some depth and he doesn't do anything to elevate it.

i love how everyone apparently can't stand dave joeger but dave joeger got them to play like a coherent basketball team with a system in the one year they sniffed the playoffs.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 5 January 2021 04:09 (three years ago) link
kings are a clear situation where the owner has no idea what he's doing and the constant dysfunction of the organization reflects that. it's impossible to win when you're set up like that

feel like zion relishes being physical on offense but is the exact opposite on defense. that said i don't think it's unusual for young players of his stature (esp ones who are so offensively gifted) to take a while to really become defensive beasts, like 3 years at least in lots of cases. at some point in his career i would expect him to be in better shape and throwing his body around on defense in a scary way
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 5 January 2021 05:26 (three years ago) link
Hawks quickly losing back to back against the knicks and cavs. They have some serious defensive issues

def a number of suspect defenders on that roster

― Spottie, Tuesday, 5 January 2021 15:37 (three years ago) link
feel like they haven’t gotten much out of bogdanovic, at least relative to what they’re paying him, and gallo basically hasn’t played. been getting decent production from capela. when you watch them it’s still really trae, huerter, reddish, hunter, and collins — who all have looked pretty good! just still so young idk how much you can expect, def on the defensive end
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 5 January 2021 15:40 (three years ago) link
i like their guys. feels like a primordial version of a future good offense-first team kinda like what the nuggets were 3-4 years ago
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 5 January 2021 15:57 (three years ago) link
i like them too they need more playmaking besides just trae tho
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 5 January 2021 16:08 (three years ago) link
bogdan & gallo will help in that dept but it will be interesting to see how they weave it all together rotation wise especially with reddish & hunter looking pretty good and needing to play. rondo has also been in and out of the rotation for them. there’s a lot to work with they just need to figure out the right combos
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 5 January 2021 17:21 (three years ago) link
thinking more long term, their core etc...
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 5 January 2021 17:36 (three years ago) link
reddish could maybe grow into it
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 5 January 2021 17:38 (three years ago) link
seems unlikely
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 5 January 2021 17:39 (three years ago) link
i really like the potential 2nd unit of rondo, huerter, gallo, bogdan and fernando

Bulls are .500 baby!!! All thanks to me. They turned it around when I said to my friend as we were watching a game "ok they have a whole quarter to lose their double digit lead, I guarantee you it won't hold". Yet it did.
