[Game] Kings @ Mavericks, 11/19/2023 4:30pm Pacific 7:30pm Eastern

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

What's the NBA equivalent of plot armor?

Ed Malloy?

 

[pdxKingsFan]

This is stupid.

 

[Kingz19]

Kessler comes in for 3 seconds and gets a defensive three seconds

 

[hrdboild]

If anything that's a foul on Luka for initiating contact. Sigh.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

I am so sick of the consistently incredibly biased refereeing against the Kings. I mean, I have been for 20 years, but I am more now. It's honestly just so unprofessional and unbecoming of the NBA to be so trash in this department.

 

[Bfreeman]

Refs can’t stop us, but they’ll try

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings with the lead going into half despite playing 5 on 7.5. (The refs don't seem to be biased. They're just grossly incompetent.)

 

[Kingz19]

Well, Dallas played quite well. Hit threes and lived at the line. Kings are still winning.

I think a big second half from Fox is coming

 

[est.1999]

That’s a non foul on Duarte. These refs are trippin hard. Also Luka complains wayyyy too much

Refs are working extra hard to keep Dallas in this.

The 2002 Western Conference Finals

Ed Malloy?

The answer we were looking for was "Luka Doncic sells jerseys" but our judges have conferred and will accept both of these answers.

I was watching the Dallas feed earlier when the game started and they were talking about how much he has reduced complaining to the refs, lol. From what I can see, it is virtually every possession that he is upset about something, even ridiculous correct non-calls. He even complained about his last shot when he fell into his own bench. At this point, most people would be ashamed of such behavior. I am glad he is not on our team.

 

[Tetsujin]

Was gonna say Fox had a quiet half and then looked up his stats and saw he has 13 points, 6 assists, and 3 steals which I guess is technically a quiet half for him at this point.

Don't let SLAB see that you said this lol

 

[iowamcnabb]

Ugh that was frustrating. Keegan should have had 2 and ones. Luka getting every call and Dallas splashing every critical 3. Going to need to go whole hog in the third to creat some separation

I avoided posting on this because well I've said it before and the debate at this point is stupid but he'd have been run out of the league if we drafted him and it would have been more LOLKANGZ if he behaved this way

Fox played outstanding ball in the first half. Showed tremendous defense and heart getting steals and loose balls. Loved it, loved it, loved it.

Kings are showing tremendous teamwork in their offense. Dallas is red hot, hitting a lot of outside shots with a hand in their faces. I want to see in the 2nd half if Keegan is guarding Doncic even more than he did in the first half. By my count, Doncic didn't score a point when Keegan was guarding him.

 

[Bfreeman]

This MIGHT change if Fox stays scoring leader. The refs may get a memo.

Domas doesn't have a black eye as a result of this play, so it's not a foul. Come on Tetsu, be objective for once.

That's what makes it truly infuriating. Getting the calls wrong on both sides of the floor -- often in back to back possessions -- just makes the whole game feel pointless, as if the outcome has already been decided.

Mark Jones took the Euro Harden thing as a compliment rather than the diss that CD intended lol

A properly reffed game would have us up by 15.

You have to account for the way biased reffing alters both teams' play - makes one more aggressive and the other more hesitant.

How out of loop are you to think being compared to Harden right now is a good thing

Considering the trajectory Harden is on I probably shouldn't admit to this, but I made the Harden to Luka comparison 6 months before the 2018 draft so I'm calling dibs.

 

[Caccia]

Doncic is only 4-12, although 6-8 at the line. Our defense by committee seems to be working.

If Murray guards Donic he will be fouled out by 4th quarter. Donic is unguardable with these calls. Especially when he’s hitting that back step 3

It's one of those things where fans love to see their star players setting the tone by making plays like that, but you're also holding your breath every time.
