[Game] Kings vs. Thunder, 11/10/2023 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[captain bill]

Great effort so far

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Murray still looks out of sorts

 

[Tetsujin]

The Thunder are trying mightily to attack inside. So far, it's not working.

It’s not a concerted effort to attack the middle on their part. Most of their guys just suck at shooting so much that their number one option is to just drive downhill.

 

[Bfreeman]

What could they possibly make it mean related to the playoffs that wouldn't render the remainder of the regular season meaningless?

Dunno, extra challenge or some other tangible adavantage. Not trying to be negative just don’t see the point to it.

 

[SacTownKid]

Huerter looks like his confidence is back. He's moving around screens just like last year. No hesitation.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

What could they possibly make it mean related to the playoffs that wouldn't render the remainder of the regular season meaningless?

They could give the winner (or each conference's winner) a guaranteed playoff spot, but I'm not sure that's a great idea. The winner will likely be good enough to get one anyways, and if not...they don't deserve it.

Maybe a minor seeding advantage in the playoffs if they get there?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Just tapped into the ESPN game right fast and couldn't help but notice that the game is being called by Doc Rivers and (not) Mark Jones, so why is Draper doing PBP tonight?

 

[Tetsujin]

K’VON!

Jones is calling a college football game tomorrow

 

[Bfreeman]

Maybe the point is to get Huerter in that city uni to break his slump

Both of those ideas sound horrible.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

We have to start getting some production from our starting forwards

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Both of those ideas sound horrible.

Not going to disagree, just trying to answer your question best I can

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

THESE are the Kings I remember!!!

 

[HndsmCelt]

I hate that court but if we play like this on it every night leave it down

 

[Sluggah]

What a pass Monk

 

[Tetsujin]

MAGIC MALIK MONK

 

[HndsmCelt]

It is so nice to see red velvet back in form

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I notice Alexander hasn't got any good looks yet on Ellis

 

[Caccia]

Monk with two assists in fifty seconds after entering the game.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

I notice Alexander hasn't got any good looks yet on Ellis

I have a sneaking suspicion we have found our backup PG.

Kings playing some fun basketball in the first quarter

Maybe the point is to get Huerter in that city uni to break his slump

I’ll take his 4-9 from three last game every night as well. People(Carmichael Dave and the KHTK shows) were talking about Huerter after the Portland game like he really stunk it up but 4-9 is shooting the three good and he overall had a good game. It seemed they just didn’t want to talk about Keegan

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I have a sneaking suspicion we have found our backup PG.

Only problem is that he's on a two-way

 

[Bfreeman]

Ellis plays good perimeter D too. Kings look fresh and like they are starting to put it together, kind of like last year about this time.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Jones is calling a college football game tomorrow

 

[Tetsujin]

A live look at Malik’s agent (his brother) envisioning his upcoming free agency:

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Fair enough.

 

[Tetsujin]

Only problem is that he's on a two-way

Just needs to be a full time roster guy by playoff time for it to matter.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I have a sneaking suspicion we have found our backup PG.

I think his +- stats are going to make it hard not to play him. Makes the right play, good defense with length, keeps it moving, and like you said...doesn't try to do too much

 

[Kingz19]

Turn on the sprinkler systems!
