Joerger waited to long....

 

[Kingz19]

ridiculous performance

 

[Sac.Kings]

Can’t win them all. Just lost our composure and we are getting no whistles attacking the basket.

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Fox is going to the rim and there is no call, Indy is just getting every whistle

This is closer to who we are, unfortunately. We’ll beat up Phoenix and Cleveland but good teams have our number.

 

[Ozymandias]

I'll say it once more I hope we sign Cory Joseph in the offseason.

 

[SacTownKid]

That was about the most un pick and roll set the Kings ran all night and it was horrendous. The pace of the game drops in the bottom of the toilet when they run this college horse crap.

This Indiana squad with No Oladipo is not a good team...

 

[theclash4u5]

Coach lost this one when he refused to put in any fresh legs

 

[VF21]

It looks like we're not gonna be able to pull this out. It's still a great time to be a Kings fan - -and we're still over 500. They'll learn from this and move forward. In all honesty, I didn't expect us to take this from the Pacers on their home court on a the 2nd night of a back-to-back on the road.

Good night, fellow Kings fans.

 

[SLAB]

They sure did a good job of creating that illusion

 

[Gliesian]

This game is gonna leave a bad taste in my mouth. Just don't get blown out.

 

[Ozymandias]

people probably wont wanna hear this, but this game to me makes me think 'this team is gonna be much better next year"

 

[Capt. Factorial]

The last time a King not named Justin Jackson hit a three was at the 10:18 mark of the SECOND quarter.

Indiana is missing their all-star player. They are not the same team. Besides, these teams are pretty evenly matched so it was to be expected that Indiana gets revenge. Kings can't afford to not score over 100, otherwise it's ugly basketball as we've witnessed.

Joerger waited to long....

FOUL TROUBLE dictated minutes more than anything else, but hey - blame Joerger. It's so much easier

Look dead horse is dead, different horse in some ways than last year same thing. When they run more than a few sets of non pick and roll in a row they start heading down. When they are rolling and the chemistry is flowing they branch out, but way too many non pnr's were called and I even saw Fox call off the pnr multiple times with mixed results. This team will scare nobody outside of pick and roll. In time that may change as Bagleys individual game progresses but until that point they are what they are.

where is that statistic about the Kings shooting on back to backs?

 

[Ozymandias]

I also think we can put to rest "buddy is the best player on the team", if he is, where's he been?

 

[The Hammer]

This is a tough one to lose... but let's go beat the bulls and be happy with a 3-1 road trip.

 

[SLAB]

He absolutely isn’t. Lol

 

[Amiga]

did we miss shumpert?

 

[SLAB]

Shouldn’t Grant be screaming about WCS losing his cool?

Totally and completely agree. People forget how little we expected to see this year. NOBODY thought the Kings would do this well. I understand people wanting more and more, but a little bit of realism would be nice. This is a young squad and they're just taking the training wheels off. They've got nowhere to go but up...and they will.

I'm not sure anybody is allowed to hold the title of "best player on the Kings" tonight. Just a bad, bad game all around.

Tonight? Usually running some pointless off ball route to create space. Early on they were finding him, then he was a decoy on nothing but screens. They need to let him run some pnr too. He's dangerous there.

I don't disagree, but with foul trouble, coach needs to readjust. KK or WCS on Young was a bad matchup. Giles needed to play.

Giles is a foul magnet. He wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes against Young or Sabonis.

 

[theclash4u5]

This is why KK needs to be traded. We need to force coach to play Giles. They hyped him so much last season to not even play him in a blowout. Sickening.

You only needed 5 mins instead of putting in KK.
