[Game] Kings vs Timberwolves 3/27/2023 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[ShastaKingsFan]

Wolves are up there with the Suns I wouldn't want the Kings to see in the first round. They have owned the Kings so far 3-1

I don't see any real favorable matchups. Everyone will be very competitive

 

[Kingz19]

Strange. The way I'd put that statement would've been, "There are only a handful of teams I'd say the Kings have very little chance to win. The rest we can surely compete for the hell out of."

I didn’t say they wouldn’t be competitive or even win a series against other teams like Minnesota. I’m just saying I couldn’t confidently pick them to win the series.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I actually think it's an excellent build for the playoffs. Our offense is damn hard to slow down. So many things have to go wrong for us to put a performance like this.

That's just what's happening tonight. Not many teams are going to win 4-22 from 3, but especially not us

Yeah obviously we can't have 4 games like tonight out of 7 or we're doomed. But this is really not indicative of what this team is capable of.

 

[kingdivac]

Down 8, now I would start shooting 3s....% be damned

 

[Sluggah]

lol

 

[TaxMan]

Wtf.

 

[Kingz19]

Nice rebounding guys.

The culmination of every flaw of the Kings on display here

 

[Tetsujin]

Not Domas's best stretch of basketball here.

The Clippers are just as tough a wing matchup but they are the ones to hope for. The Clipps are kind of iffy on effort but all of the Pels, Suns, Warriors, and Wolves are about as bad a matchup in various ways as you can get.

 

[KainLear]

There's still time... if we can get it together!

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Getting out rebounded at home when you have a rest advantage

 

[Insomniacal Fan]

Hmm, maybe needed more Len tonight

 

[sactowndog]

The worst part of this loss is it could well put the Wolves into the 6 spot

 

[NewArena]

Huerter fouling out.

That pretty much cooked us. These refs can go to hell

 

[sauce-26]

Wow

 

[TaxMan]

There was still time. They got stops and then couldn’t close it out the possession. Frustrating game.

 

[KainLear]

I didn’t say they wouldn’t be competitive or even win a series against other teams like Minnesota. I’m just saying I couldn’t confidently pick them to win the series.

I'm just saying I'd phrase it more positively myself. I understand what you meant.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Shocker. Can’t secure defensive rebounds when they need it most

 

[SacTownKid]

T-Wolves were able to hid KAT on Draymond all game though. They're a much worse team defensively with both KAT and Gobert on the floor for the most part.

They'll be a little different but my question is what do they do against KAT? I'd say Murray is the best match but look at what Naz does to the Kings and multiply that times a superstar. Can't have any non number 1 offensive nights for sure.

 

[NewArena]

Didn’t love browns rotation tonight. Not sure why we are messing with things at this point in the season

Yea, bending to the will of the Wolves and trying to matchup just doesn’t work. Reminds me of the Mavs screwing with their lineup the time the warriors upset them in the “We believe” era

 

[fansinceday1]

Team wasted a great showing by the fans. Kinda a downer…….

 

[KainLear]

Give Chris Finch and the Wolves credit too. They were in the Playoffs before they got Gobert. By all counts, this is a Playoffs contending team.

 

[The_Jamal]

Put a lot of this one on Brown too for giving Monk such a leash. No idea why the offense was being ran through him in the 4th, but with ice cold Monk... oof.

Foxy has to just go take the ball and tell Monk to get out the way. He disappeared here in the 4th

 

[Hoovtrain]

What are you doing Keegan??

 

[forza kings]

Not a single corner three attempt from Keegan tonight.

 

[NewArena]

They'll be a little different but my question is what do they do against KAT? I'd say Murray is the best match but look at what Naz does to the Kings and multiply that times a superstar. Can't have any non number 1 offensive nights for sure.

That’s probably the best thing. They get worse defensively with KAT and it could reduce Naz’ minutes i guess

Len in place of Metu didn't do much, running the offense through Monk that much hurt though.

 

[NewArena]

Not a single corner three attempt from Keegan tonight.

Super weird, Minnesota is decent defensively but we made em look like the 04 pistons at times

 

[Tizzy Flip]

That pretty much cooked us. These refs can go to hell

Brown shouldn’t get off easily though for keeping him in when he had 4 fouls. Just a coaching mistake

 

[pdxKingsFan]

dammit Keegs.
