@BraydenLarson @cookthetvstatic @glockstarshine They shot 16/34 from 3, 12/25 from 3 minus Acuff. Most of Acuffs potential assists comes at the 3 point line. It’s normal to miss. It’s an internal feeling your guys are feeling. Shit will get worse. Watch the Sixers play and they be bricking shit too. It’s normal.

Are we happy with the trade or still mad we let Keon go?

@Tysonwarren19 @MattGeorgeSAC @Sactown1140 Classic Matt George tryna have his moment

[Slyde @crypticslyde]

My point is this. Save the “kings are selling” Acuff tweets for when they actually sell at an unreasonable standard. The “selling” rn is no different to how Vj edgecombe bricks 3s but nobody says he’s selling Bron and maxeys assists. It will get worse for the kings. It’s good rn.

Blue is potential assists
Yellow is assists

Please stop selling this narrative that the kings sell Acuff and that he should be averaging double the assists on a better team. It’s lazy. Missing shots is normal. Please don’t turn Acuff into “if man”. He’s too good for that.

[Slyde @crypticslyde]

@cookthetvstatic @glockstarshine I recommend watching other teams play like you watch Acuff, focus in on the pg and see how many assists get sold. It’s pretty normal actually but because a lot of people are eyeing in on Acuff it feels like it’s getting sold again and again. He’s still averaging 7 it’s cool.

[Slyde @crypticslyde]

The domas Acuff pnr has turned into a lot of domas gortat screening for an Acuff drive. Domas just has not been a threat scoring wise. We need a center to open up that pg and big pnr game. I don’t think Sabonis has it anymore honestly. Just looks bad out there.

[Slyde @crypticslyde]

We need to find Acuff a franchise center. Not a lot of pnr action with the big I’m noticing. Sabonis just has not been good enough offensively in the paint. Also the defense is horror. Max should be better scoring wise but the defense issue still remains. Cardwell is for Defense.

[Slyde @crypticslyde]

Make actual statements not just lazy ones. Like if Acuff had a rim running big he would get more assist. If Acuff had a stretch 5 he was get more assist. Discrediting his team because they don’t shoot 100% from Acuff passes is not it.

@k_ranada89 Yeah you right I’m sorry but it happens with so many heliocentric players fanbases. They over analyse everything and think their player is the goat and everyone around them is selling and then they become such an insufferable fanbase. A lot of Acuff fans are becoming this.

[Slyde @crypticslyde]

@dj3ptkilla44 No that was not sarcasm you deadass want to see that shit, and no he would have not doubled those numbers he would have like 10 assists which is more but you just talking to talk. Watch other players play and you realise the shit you saying can apply to any player in the league.

[Slyde @crypticslyde]

See I don’t like this because Acuffs passing is what’s opening up his own individual game and why he’s getting better looks and shooting better. It’s just a contradicting statement. And “blowing it” is rich given he averages 7 assists a game and his potassists ratio is average.

[Slyde @crypticslyde]

@k_ranada89 Ok and that’s fair I’m probably too harsh on you so I apologise but I’m sick of seeing these general statements of Acuff from guys who just want to see him stack up Pra and watch only to see him play so they over analyse every single play and have unrealistic expectations.

[Slyde @crypticslyde]

@k_ranada89 And that’s fair the team is ass. But Acuffs potential assist to assists ratio is league average. You’re making it seam like missing shots off passes isn’t normal. It’s normal. You’re opening the door to hate because you just talking to talk and creating “if” statements.

[Slyde @crypticslyde]

In case fans were wondering how Nique Clifford was actually doing. I watched the second quarter. No initiating offense, offensive turnover trying to spin move around dame, a lot of passing and running away from the ball, had a good defensive possesion against scoot, cardio man.

In case Kings fans were wondering
how Nique Clifford is doing 🥲🤧

[Slyde @crypticslyde]

We haven’t had a back to back yet I’m really curious to see how Acuff plays during those rough road trips. Gonna be a hurdle for him to get over should be a good rookie challenge for him. Or it may not affect him at all and he’ll continue to average 30.

[Slyde @crypticslyde]

@MattGeorgeSAC @Sactown1140 And this game proved why he was out of the kings rotation.

[Slyde @crypticslyde]

@luhtweaker Nique Clifford we know it’s you

[Slyde @crypticslyde]

Nique Clifford is officially my opp
