[Game] Kings vs. Knickerbockers, 3/9/2023 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern (TNT)

[206Fan]

can we please start grabbing some boards? I'm shocked when the Knicks don't grab their miss. It's a shame because we've played such great defense for most of the game... just to give up boards.

I’ve never seen offensive rebounding like this. It’s a mix of great pursuit by the knicks, poor box outs and an amazing amount of weird bounces and rebounds dropped by the kings.

Can the beam be named league MVP?

 

[Fear the Putin]

Fox is a madman, but we still need to put a damn body on someone and get a rebound. They're playing like amateurs right now sans Fox.

Monte already drawing up the max MLE offer this summer when Hart goes to FA.

Hart has quietly been the best rebounding guard in the league for a minute; he's won me a handful of fantasy leagues over the last couple of years.

Don’t challenge it. Made contact with the body. Jumped forward. Obviously.

Awful challenge.

 

[Kingz19]

Meh, that won’t get overturned

 

[TaxMan]

Bad challenge

I mean guys.. The Knicks have missed 32 3pointers, theres gonna be lot sof 50/50 balls that bounce out near the FT line in that scenario and the Knicks r grabbing them all, sometimes thats just how the cookie crumbles..

We simply do not have the personnel to keep Mitchell Robinson off the o-boards either, and most NBA teams dont. This dude averaged 4.1 orebs in 25 minutes last season, he's elite. Not only is he good at highpointing the ball but he's amazing at getting there really fast.

I get that some people are concerned, but for me, I was never concerned --- We have De'Aaron Fox and they don't.

 

[New Era]

Bad challenge.

 

[SLAB]

That was shockingly bad.

Plus the amount of switching we do on D makes it tough to be in position to grab all these long rebounds from 3.

Hart is a very smart player. Thibs just has him going to the middle of the paint every time and he's basically rebounding against an entire Kings team focused on scrambling back out so they have their back to the rebounds the whole time.

The switching in combination with soft doubling is the issue. In this new NBA you either switch or you don't. There's no halfway.

Oh, I'd still be concerned if I were you; six minutes is a lot of time.

 

[KainLear]

And we have 1 TO left... yikes.

Feels like Randle's been called for a foul at least 10 times already tonight.

Yeah, insanely bad intel there.

 

[Tetsujin]

Is it K'Von time?

[SacTownKid]

Sabonis got hammered but thankfully Huerter was there with the extra change.

 

[King-Da-Yah]

I don’t know if it’s by design but he’s played off the ball a ton. Can’t experiment with that BS with this important of a game

I said the same thing. Oh well, its his time
Meow. !!!!

What assistant is in charge of recommending challenges?

I think it’s Jay Triano

I’ve heard them say Brown is specifically looking at him before when deciding to challenge
