[Game] Kings @ Pacers 2/3/2023 4pm Pacific 7pm Eastern

[SLAB]

Ooof…. Davion with a whole nothing burger.

 

[KF8]

Kings don't shoot that well from 3 on the road. They are at 33% for road games.

 

[TheMobb]

With Fox out team needs Monk and Davion to score and create for themselves and others.

 

[SacTownKid]

Still for the life of me don’t get how Sabonis/Turner didn’t work. They seem like an ideal pairing

Two C lineups just don't seem to work. Teams eventually go small and kill you. They did have a decent run though, I think in the end it was injuries and propping up good players but not stars like Brogdon.

 

[SacTownKid]

We need a spark playmaker off the bench. A Bobby Jackson type. Then again, every team has needed a Bobby Jackson type since he retired.

Long term I still would like to see him shoot a little higher haha. Go for that 3rd star and cement this thing for the next 5-6 years.

 

[Gtronic]

Yikes. No flow on offense.

Question - Why are Mark and Katie once again in the studio and not on the trip?

 

[SacTownKid]

I would really like to see the Kings number 4 pick assert himself here. Now, that's hard considering he so used to his role but 2 shots and being this passive ain't gonna cut it.

I'm ok with that. I probably need to dare to dream a bit more after the 16 year playoff drought. But you're right. You're very right.

Credit definitely goes to Carlisle and his staff on that. They did some very interesting strategic things on switches and spacing when it came to the Kings hand off sets. This is like 4 or 5 games in a row that teams are clearly scouting it. They either meet Huerter and Keegan on the other side now or do some kind of gimmicky thing to cripple it. That's where Brown has to counter and tonight his typical counter ain't there to save him.

1 rebound isn’t going to cut it either. Teams eat against Indiana on the boards. It’s actually been advantage for Pacers tonight

 

[Caccia]

They should start Monk at PG for the second half. Mitchell is 0-4 with only one assist in 15 minutes. Half the team's shots were threes, because the inside game is lacking.

maybe money was diverted from the announcers travel budget to pay for the DPOG chain

He's played good defense but you might be right if he can't get going. The Kings scoring 96 in a game is a big fat L no matter how you slice that one.

 

[SacTownKid]

First play DHO and.... turnover.

 

[Kingz19]

At the risk of him going off after I submit this..I just don’t see it with Myles Turner

 

[SacTownKid]

Sabonis going to town now.

 

[Kingz19]

Finally

 

[SacTownKid]

See, Buddy meets Keegan on the other side of the DHO and Keegan runs.

 

[Kingz19]

no energy

Keegan and Huerter playing terribly

 

[SacTownKid]

Now Buddy's walking it dry, ouch!

 

[SacTownKid]

no energy

Keegan and Huerter playing terribly

They aren't handling the pressure on those hand offs well. They've both mostly disappeared since teams started scouting for it.

 

[Kingz19]

I’m not sure how well Buddy has to play against us to make me regret the Kings essentially using him as salary filler. He’s playing extremely well tonight and I still don’t care

 

[Kingz19]

Turner has scored 7 since i opened my mouth. I knew it too

 

[fansinceday1]

How about they work the ball in? By the time they start making threes we are in a huge hole.

 

[est.1999]

Back to backs for other teams always has the reverse effect on us

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Can Brown bench Huerter finally? He has been so bad for the last few weeks.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Well this game sucks

 

[Sluggah]

Keegan needs to put that thumb wrap back on. Two stinkers in a row.

 

[Hoovtrain]

A gene like this is where I would like/expect Murray to step up a bit more

 

[PurpleHaze]

17 down. Without Fox Kings a mediocre team. Backup little Mitchell won't cut it tonight and will never be an NBA starter.
