Fumbled in the clutch

 

[Kingz19]

What a crapshow the last couple of minutes.

Kings could’ve won this by a margin

And of course Domas gets an elbow in the face that isn’t called

 

[SacTownKid]

Kings got a little too predictable late going for the 3 ball.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

All kings had to do was attack the rim. They settled all dang day man

 

[Hoovtrain]

Wow wtf was that

 

[SLAB]

Got back just in time for that final possession. Excellent awareness, boys.

Onto the next.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Tomas has got some dental issues now I think

Onto the next.

So, you were the culprit.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Terrible execution

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Turned on the game with 6 mins to go. Wish I hadn’t. That was some ugly basketball

 

[Tetsujin]

Well it’s our first L2M game of the year

 

[kingsboi]

so who's the next team the Kings face two times in a row? their early season kryptonite apparently, injuries to Fox and Keegan matter a whole lot but just a thought to think about

 

[Tizzy Flip]

So what is the common theme between Rockets, Pels, and Warriors? All 3 teams have shut us down for long stretches this season

 

[Hoovtrain]

Contenders don’t take it on the chin back to back against HOU and NO.

 

[206Fan]

Awful play in the last 4mins. I think it's safe to say we aren't contenders with this current squad. There are 3 teams in the West who have our numbers lol

 

[iowamcnabb]

I mean at least we didn’t lay down. We had a lot of opportunities to pull this one off in the last two minutes but just couldn’t do it. Fox is not fully healthy, that much I can say. Going to need to play 4 quarters against Minnesota or we will see a similar result.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Kings have two losses each to three teams and then have pretty much beaten the pants off of every single other team they faced.

 

[KF8]

Can we blame the refs for this one?

 

[Caccia]

I had a strong feeling they would come back. The defense improved a lot, but when your all-star center misses five free throws in the fourth, it puts you behind the eight ball.

 

[CaliPelsFan2k23]

Close one at the end, but good game Kings Fans. See you guys next time and good luck !

 

[SacTownKid]

The Pels are going to indeed be scary when they're healthy. If Zion can stay on the floor that's 3 players that can get you 20-25 a night and a bunch of toughness and length to go along side it.

Those three teams hustle like no other we have played.

I believe Fox got hurt on that play where he went flying out of bounds. It may not be just the ankle.

We’re a playoff team. We aren’t a contending team.

 

[SacTownKid]

We’re a playoff team. We aren’t a contending team.

Monte is ready to do whatever it takes to get there and that's a great sign.

 

[Tetsujin]

Of the many things you can say about the Warriors, hard hustlers probably isn’t one of them at this point.

Yep, they didn't have CJ and Trey Murphy too. When both Zion and BI are rolling, there's nothing much you can do. Well coached, great on defense, always hustling.

 

[SLAB]

Ya, I have faith moves will be made.

 

[Tetsujin]

One thing they do have to deal with though is CJ being their point of attack defender as opposed to them just sticking Alvarado or Daniels out there instead

 

[reptilexcq2]

How does Barnes pass that 3 up man

Who care...he's going to brick anyway just like he done in any pressure games in the past. Trey Lyle should be shooting at one time instead of passing up. Fox was not clutch like he used to in the fourth. The only players on this roster that I'm comfortable of shooting 3s are Keegan or Monk and maybe Fox. Everybody else is just unpredictable. Vezenkov is not automatic like I thought. I thought he couldn't miss in practice? Why does he keeps bricking in real game?
