[Game] Kings @ Magic, 11/05/2022 2pm Pacific, 5pm Eastern

Barnes is a complete negative on the floor at this point. He won’t even consider taking open threes anymore.

There's no way that's him, that's clearly the plan. Brown wants him to attack off the dribble and I don't know why. So, the Kings should be attacking the biggest team in the league? Bad call. Also, I have no idea what the plan is on defense.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Lyles pump-faking like his last name was McHale.

If you allow a team to shoot 90% from the field, you will lose the game.

kings going to need to hit 45% from three n 85% from the line to win

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Lotta one-on-one by the Kings in the first.

 

[KainLear]

Bol workin us smh

And the fun time is over...

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Well we're trading buckets now. I guess I'll keep watching until the end of the quarter and if it's double digits take a break and do something productive and come back for the 4th.

No, they're going to need to get Orlando's shooting percentage down below 55%. They started out 11-12 from the field. That's unsustainable, but the defense is going to have to make it up over the rest of the game.

 

[Remi]

Orlando should start to miss ...

I’m beginning to think the same thing. I see why Brown had KZ in to start the season but I don’t think he delivered what Brown wanted. Maybe Monte needs to go find that tone setter.

size matters

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Hey good news, the refs are calling travels now.

 

[Sluggah]

I think Sabonis has become…annoyed

 

[Kingz19]

Forgot Suggs vs Mitchell is a National Championship game rematch

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Murray needs to pay more attention to his footwork. Both threes he missed his feet were all cattywompus, and the shot he hit his feet were square.

that last one was pretty ugly

 

[dude12]

Clank, clank

 

[Kingz19]

Rookie move by Keegan. That 3/4 court heave is going against his FG percentage

 

[dude12]

Davion ice cold…..again.
Monk ice cold…..again
Holmes is a zero offensively anyway
Keegan needs to be more selfish or they need to look for him more when this lineup is on the floor

 

[SacTownKid]

That was two possessions I counted where Holmes had his back to the basket almost the entire time or most of it off of a high post entry pass. Who do these coaches think this guy is?

well hell. guess I'm in for the long haul

Yes it was horrendous defense to bad defense.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Holmes comes in for Sabonis, and Orlando immediately starts attacking the rim.

Keegan is a catch and shoot player for the most part. He's going to be reliant on his teammates to find him and his coach to call screen plays for him. I noticed that teams are starting to scout him off that curl. He almost turned the ball over getting it to Monk because a defender was just in between the two.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I kind of figured again the bench would be the difference Maker in this game I just didn't expect to need them this soon

 

[dude12]

Love how Holmes just kept backing up and Wagner got a layup….geez

 

[SacTownKid]

Dang it SWITCH BROWN!!! argh.

 

[SacTownKid]

Love how Holmes just kept backing up and Wagner got a layup….geez

They're playing drop again when Murray gets rubbed off by that screen.

 

[Kingz19]

Trash defense

 

[Remi]

Jesus, kings team except Sabonis sucks so far ..... no cuts, no defence...

 

[SacTownKid]

Wagner is a pretty good ball handler but the easy call is to play up and challenge every single one of their bigs on the dribble.
