[Game] Kings vs Mavericks 2/11/2023 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

Fox should just abandon the 3 unless it’s catch and shoot like SGA has. He doesn’t need it to keep the defense honest because no one can stay in front of him. That midrange is a thing of beauty to watch.

LOL what

Did we not have the beam when we demolished the Nets?

Kyrie wasn’t with the Nets at the time due to the whole Anti-semitism thing

What I see that Huerter's game is evolving - he is not only 3pt shooter, but he is spacing the floor with moving to the basket and lately he has more close basket points.
Maybe this is Brown idea or maybe teams are trying to defend better red velvet at 3pt line ....

But we're still getting him some wide open looks and he just isn't hitting. Maybe tired legs, I think some here have analyzed his shot and noted that he uses up a lot of energy getting his shots off.

Uhhhhh. Really Mavs? Really?!

 

[iowamcnabb]

Does Luka weigh 3 bills? He looked huge compared to Keegan

Oh, funny, since uh, space lasers... I just assumed UFOs.

He deserves it man. His offense fell off in the 2nd half, but he took the Luka assignment about as well as you can hope anyone to in crunch time.

Oh god, Baby Reign is going to go blind from too much beam light! Someone get the shades!

with all the light, Reign will eventually turn into Purple Reign

Yeah, it's a good idea. And if our shooters ever learn how to shoot again, it's either help down on De'aaron, or he kicks to an open shooter, or he gets a big one on one.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Uhhhhh. Really Mavs? Really?!

aside from all the gratuitious non-calls, I don't really remember Fox shooting a lot of FTs before the end game. But I can't find the box with FT stats yet.

indeed. DeRozan and Kawhi have made it a staple of their offensive repertoire

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Give me some of whatever Lance Woods has please.

Would've been ok with the loss tonight - they played the full game. But the win is even nicer.
Fox making a bunch of FTs was very encouraging.

Kidd made a mistake keeping Wood out.

Look at our remaining schedule and the dogfight we are in for even the play-ins. Every W is welcome. No, required.

They decidedly were not at the shooters on the catch early on. But they did step that up in the 3rd and 4th.

Actually Dallas hit some shots but thought the D did pretty well all night. It was a well played team game and good adjustments by Brown.

It was like watching a play-off game and damn fun to watch.

Fox has some nights where his 3pt shot is very good though so I hard disagree with this.

Having a good coach is so nice.

Bodes well for a playoff series. Something called "adjustments"

It's almost like being named an All-Star changed how officials ref him.

 

[NewArena]

Imagine if we hit our 3’s. We’d cook this team! Best win of the season for me, personally. Wow wow wow

I just don’t think it’s a good shot for him. 23 percent in February, 30 percent in January, 26 percent in December. Roughly a 30 percent shooter the last 4 years. wide open catch and shoot set shots? Sure take those

so the only time the Kings' opponent doesn't win when their on a back to back is when they are playing the Kings. got it.

 

[NewArena]

Huge shout out to Huerter and TD finding ways to be effective outside of just shooting 3’s, along with lyles. And an even bigger shout out to Mike Brown being the smartest coach we’ve had in almost 20 years. I see a LOT of comments from Warrior fans stating just how much they miss him.

 

[NewArena]

SLAB gotta be cheesing super hard at the movies right now LOL

Obviously - but how the team loses matters.....a loss tonight would've been much easier to stomach than yesterday's debacle. They played hard but had a bad 3-pt shooting night. They happened to win also which is welcome.

In other words, "Calm down, people who think De'Aaron is dogging it for the first three quarters."
