[Game] Kings v. Suns - Saturday, Dec. 28 - 6PT/9ET

[Artur91]

We need our players to stay healthy man. Should look into it we haven’t got that many injuries in previous seasons

 

[Elektrik]

Shocking......or not. Barnes has never been clutch. Too bad great look too

As consistent as he is, that’s been the knock on him. Really bad shot

 

[Iced Espresso]

The Kings SUCK!

We are going to be seeing Tank threads starting up pretty soon.

And knowing this team, they won’t even be able to tank right and they will wind up with the 10th pick!

That's where we would pick right now 10, so you know.

 

[Kingster]

Five free points - the Bogs brain-dead foul at the end of the half and the two technicals
Terrible free throw shooting
Some inexplicably easy baskets allowed under the basket
It's like getting your wisdom teeth pulled with no Novocaine and no general anesthesia.

On the positive side, Fox and Bagley's injuries aren't serious and they should be back soon. Hield probably had his best game ever at doing what he's been terrible at - making contact and drawing fouls.

 

[Tetsujin]

Buddy:
Lost respect from teammates
Had a bazillion turnovers
Missed a clutch ft
Passed to barnes for the last play (when bogi was wide open and already made 5 3s)

barnes was also wide open so let’s not act like that was a bad read.

 

[Mjfuller53]

They wanted the last ball

But leave the basket unguarded. Brilliant.

 

[SLAB]

2.0 games back of the 6th pick
2.5 games back to the 4th pick

Does it even matter when it’s Vlade Divac making the picks?

I don't think there was an angle for a pass to Bogdan. It looked to me like he made the right pass

Oh wow.....

 

[KingKong]

Kings keep going for the home runs only to strikeout.

 

[kingdivac]

wide open shot. that Barnes shot wasn't even close.

Jeesuz - the Suns gave him a WIDE open shot......holy bricklayer batman.

Fox is ready to play the next game
MB3 gotta out 1 week

 

[Larry89]

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die

 

[BLNINJA #81]

As bad as everything has been, there's still an 8th seed shot. If the draft is bad this year, might as well try to make it.

If GS wasn't so banged up, this would be a tankathon moment...

DC called it right. He said Buddy needs to continue through on his dribble when teams swipe. He needs to be more aggressive on his drives. One problem that comes back to haunt the Kings every game is almost every penetration is set up for a pass rather than a score. They almost get too unselfish at times.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah. I get wanting Bogi to get that look but there was no way for Buddy to get him the ball cleanly and Barnes was sitting there wide open.

Dude really? This team is complete garbage. The franchise is a giant joke. Pathetic. And who cares about picks when you know they will just pass on some elite player for a project with "potential" that can play the 3,4 and 5!

 

[Artur91]

But leave the basket unguarded. Brilliant.

No comments man sometimes it’s just don’t work out, I’m fine with it.

But I’m not fine because in our case it’s not sometimes but looks like it happens every time

who knows....maybe it has something to do with letting go your longtime training staff only to watch your new hotshot head trainer take a ‘dream job’ at Kansas. Seriously, there are a million little and large points of ineptitude of this franchise that has gotten us here.

Well, based on the standings, there's still a legit shot, but changes have to be made, and fast...

to be fair our injury history wasn’t too great with the longtime training staff either.

 

[Sluggah]

I mean. The shooting slump seemed to dissipate for some...so there’s that.

 

[NewArena]

In our defense, it’s pretty hard to get a rhythm going with players in and out of the lineup. It happened to the Lakers last season

How can anyone know their role in a situation like this? It’s been such a weird season, but 3-4 wins in a row in this version of the western conference, and anything can happen.

Sure would be nice to get a transparent, detailed update on Fox and his injury though. Our staff is awful

 

[SacTownKid]

One positive is that key stretch after getting down again saw the Kings come back with some fire. They haven't fallen off the cliff yet but they are back to square one. Coincidentally right where they were after that loss to the Nuggets early in the year.

 

[TaxMan]

Add one more point into the ineptitude bucket....

 

[jcwkings]

The Kings passed on a generational player with elite basketball IQ and skill, but to be fair they picked a tall guy that can jump twice really fast.

 

[NewArena]

When they were 12-15 and I said "You are what your record says you are" I was met with a lot of resistance from people here claiming they were actually a good team.

Turns out they're worse than that 12-15 team......they're not even an average team like I thought.

I don’t agree with this, even with the bad losses. These are just ... bad losses

 

[SacTownKid]

I mean. The shooting slump seemed to dissipate for some...so there’s that.

Which is a bit scary as well considering they are back to no Fox and Bagley. It's up to the coaches to make sure having those two back doesn't mean your off guard game disappears again.

 

[Artur91]

8 seed this year is cheaper than usual due to the GSW got his entire team injured xd.

But following years 8 seed it’s only for over 0.500 and right now idk if this team can developer into that without changes in the roster...

 

[sergmatt]

I don’t agree with this, even with the bad losses. These are just ... bad losses

What part about being 12-20 suggests they're better than 12-20?
