[Game] Kings vs Nuggets 12/28/2022 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

Denver's outside shooting is killing us

When Porter is on, there isn't much that any wing can do against him defensively. 6'11 with the high release

 

[Capt. Factorial]

So glad to see these guys made some adjustments on guarding MJP smh

Well, the last time we saw MPJ, it was a month ago, Mike Brown was coaching, and he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. This performance is completely surprising and out of nowhere and we can't be expected to have anticipated it.

What’s most frustrating about this stretch is not just that the Kings have been losing. It’s that they look like a bad team

 

[ESP47]

Defense is laughably bad.

Where is Okpala?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Yes.

 

[gunks]

Apathy mode....

ACTIVATE!!!!

See y'all when this team pulls their heads out of their butts

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Jordan pushes off on every single screen he sets, finally gets called, whines about it.

 

[Tetsujin]

DJ with the unintentionally dirty moving screen purely because he's too slow

 

[Woot!]

Refs would NEVER have given Jokic the foul they just gave Jordan.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

So at this point, I want to say the beginning of the season was a fluke and we’re reverting to the mean. Meaning sub-.500 team.

 

[jiimbob]

I seem to remember Vlade thinking to draft Michael Porter Jr.

We need to make some changes, the chemistry thing has worn thin.

 

[SacTownKid]

Yeah, TD time. Monk ain't got it, lol.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah, TD time. Monk ain't got it, lol.

Jordi ain't a fan apparently.

 

[SLAB]

like I said… Denver’s a tall order but coming off the Charlotte and Washington losses this suuuuuuucks.

I think the real team is here, and probably glad I didn’t fully buy into any hype and end up just as hurt as ever by this team.

Kings gonna Kings. Forever more.

It sucks MPJ is going now but it's amazing how a player the size of Okpala is so much different than Monk guarding him eh?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Actually, he said that after they looked at his medical report, they wouldn't have drafted him in the 2nd round

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Jordi ain't a fan apparently.

Isn't he hurt?

 

[SLAB]

Maybe we’re just letting them get up by 20 so we can return the favor.

MPJ is shooting a better 3pt % than anyone on the Kings, so it shouldn’t be a surprise

 

[Tetsujin]

Isn't he hurt?

Not on the injury report anymore.

 

[sactowndog]

I have waited a couple games but this team is back to playing no defense and it starts with Fox. He is either going to play consistent hard nosed defense or this team will forever suck as long as he is on it.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Kings looking better

 

[SacTownKid]

KZ doing well on D. MPJ ain't freaking LeBron, throwing 6'2" defenders on him was just a bad, bad idea.

 

[iowamcnabb]

A little momentum if you can get a stop or two and a couple buckets on our end. They are bound to cool off a touch

Well, he's a lot better outside shooter than James

 

[Tetsujin]

He's not in charge of guarding MPJ or Joker though?

He's back to his uninspiring play, unfortunately

It's the opposing frontline killing the Kings not G's.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings luck is having to play the Nuggets the one month of the year when MPJ is healthy.

 

[SacTownKid]

Well, he's a lot better outside shooter than James

Yeah but if he's beasting you you're the problem.
