[Game] Sacramento Kings @ Los Angeles Clippers, 12/12/2023, 7:30pm PST/10:30pm EST

I want him gone. Permanently.

It will probably just be another 5 game suspension. Silver is known to be soft on players.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Just saw the clip on Draymond’s overhand right on Nurkic. Can’t make this stuff up. Need someone on our defense show that we won’t be pushovers. Where’s Len when we can use him?

No, just no. What Green does out there is not even basketball. We need more defensive heart we don't need a thug

 

[The_Jamal]

Our biggest win has been by 16, and our average win is by 9.5 points.

Our biggest loss (so far) has been by 36, and our average loss is by 14.6 points (that will likely climb to above 16 points after tonight).

Yeah, exactly. Winning big, losing big.

Bench comeback game! Let's make it happen!

 

[Tetsujin]

Bolstering Davion for a trade!

It's not working lol

 

[hrdboild]

Finally Mitchell drives to the basket. Do that more!

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

It's not working lol

Taking money off of tape!

 

[HndsmCelt]

This deserves a 10 game suspension

The league should let Rudy Tomanovich review the play and set the penalty.

 

[Kingz19]

Has Detroit even been on the business end of this many 30-40 point margins this season?

 

[Tetsujin]

Finally Mitchell drives to the basket. Do that more!

Well at least he has the driving part down. Now he just needs to draw rim.

Speaking of detroit.. at least we're not on a 20 game losing streak lol

 

[hrdboild]

Somehow he's flown under the radar here, but Duarte has been just as bad for us this season. Other than Monk, our bench unit has been a net negative all year. Moves need to be made somehow.

 

[Tetsujin]

Refs calling more travels on the Kings tonight then they've probably called the entire rest of the season combined

 

[Elektrik]

No excuse for this shellacking. Very tired looking. A bunch of youngsters getting their butts kicked by a bunch of old guys. Both teams played the night before. Kings were not even competitive. Coach needs to have a serious discussion with these players.

 

[Kingster]

correct me if I'm wrong here but I think throughout Harden's career PPG vs all NBA squads, the Kings would be number one on that list. Maybe it has changed since he left Houston, but not sure where to find updated info on it.

He has a penchant for shrinking in big moments, but I guess when you're up by 30 he doesn't have to worry about it.

 

[dude12]

Pathetic tonight

 

[Sluggah]

The “feebreaze” game

 

[SacTownKid]

The refs won't allow this game to end, lol.

 

[hrdboild]

Mark and Kayte riffing on how to pronounce Febreeze is somehow more entertaining than anything the Kings have done on the court tonight.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

My impression with the Pelicans is that they keep beating us because Zion can literally only dunk on offense and yet we have no defender who can meet him at the rim and stop him. With the Clippers it's just a steady stream of pick and rolls springing their stars for iso baskets or kick outs to open shooters. We all know what the plays are yet we can't stop them...

On the season, only ten percent of Zion Williamson's field goal attempts have been dunks (cite). Versus the Kings, he has two dunks in three games.

Yeah, I guess I was exaggerating. He can also drive and lay it in. He's sure as hell not shooting it from anywhere outside the paint.

 

[Tetsujin]

Apparently Mike should have just played Keon instead of getting cute and playing Davion.

 

[Kingz19]

No, just no. What Green does out there is not even basketball. We need more defensive heart we don't need a thug

Amazing that some people are still enamored by Draymond’s “toughness”

Once upon a time he was worth the trouble. Those days are long over. He costs the Warriors far more than he brings to the table anymore.

 

[kingsboi]

Yeah, team is just such a wider range of outcomes this year. Either we stomp teams by 20 or get blown out. Last year, we either won by 5 or lost by 5.

I dunno. Once again, there's no reason for us to play so damn good last night vs a quality opponent, (who was the hottest team in the NBA btw...6-1, blowing teams out) on both ends of the court, look like a top 8 NBA team and then follow that up with this performance. I don't get it.

maybe it's time to add the Clips to the same list as the Pelicans and Rockets? I know the Kings beat the Clips last season with PG and Kawhi but that's last season

 

[kingsboi]

Davion really is unplayable at this point. Such a disappointment

talent and defense is there but the role Brown is wanting out of him just isn't meshing, unfortunately. May be hard to trade or just trade filler at this time

 

[SacTownKid]

Exactly. And so far Kawhi looks like Kawhi again. Totally different team with that in their bag. He looks to be back from all those injury issues finally.

 

[ick300]

That wasn’t pretty
Had we ever won a back to back …

 

[KF8]

I think what's disappointing is that when the Kings play a team they previously loss to they normally come out very competitive, but that was last year.There have been so many times this season where they came out flat against such teams like the pelicans, rockets, and clippers.

 

[iowamcnabb]

The good news is Keegan looked awesome and he maybe just maybe is figuring out how to score when the 3 point shot isn’t falling. I wonder if he has ever had 17 points with no made 3 pointers? My guess is no. That, friends is huge. His defense was fantastic. The only player that could make it difficult on the Clips.

the bad news is we are a one trick pony offensively, especially when Domas doesn’t have it going in the post. Brown has never called an audible when we are brickin it up. Change the offense at half!

 

[206Fan]

This year's Kings team just reminds me too much of all the bad Luke Walton teams. Relying on their offense to win games, but as soon as the shots don't fall, they roll over and give up. We need a shakeup somewhere.

With the way we're playing, I hope this unit has enjoyed playing together for the last 1.5yrs...
