[Game] Sacramento Kings @ Portland Trailblazers, 12/26/2023, 7:00pm PST/10:00pm EST

[Kingz19]

Domas can have 50 tonight if they keep feeding him

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

That's the kind of dumb foul that Brown hates from Vezenkov. A weak hand check that gives them two points

 

[iowamcnabb]

Alright when do we see the first Javale mistake or do we get a super nova performance?

 

[Kingz19]

Still would like Thybulle on the Kings

 

[iowamcnabb]

Blaze hit a home run with Thybulle. Hopefully they want to move him to the kings haha

 

[Tetsujin]

Remember when the Blazers introduced a Bigfoot mascot to compliment their normal one? Apparently the Blazers don't.

 

[Kingz19]

That’s all for Javale

 

[iowamcnabb]

Some weird bounces going the Blazers way. Got to weather it

 

[SacTownKid]

This smallball hustle unit from the Blazers is causing some problems.

 

[KF8]

ugh might be one of those 5 outta 35 3pointer nights again. Will have to rely more on sabonis from inside the paint since no1 can stop him there.

True, but the shots are good so far though. Keegan had a few wide open ones that should eventually go in.

 

[Kingz19]

Is Keegan injured?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Is Keegan injured?

im guessing they are trying this new rotation to get Sasha minutes

 

[SacTownKid]

This Reath guy has some dang good hands.

sure hope so 2/16 aint it.

 

[thingfish]

Uh oh, it’s another young, long and athletic team and the Kings aren’t hitting 3’s

 

[SacTownKid]

Yep, live by the 3 die by it. They just showed the stat a little while ago too, lol. That ties right along with the stats they put up a few games ago about the assists the Kings typically need to get to win. Sustainability questions for sure.

 

[Kingz19]

Pathetic defense

 

[BosnianDiehard2.0]

This is awful, yet again.

 

[SacTownKid]

Uh oh, it’s another young, long and athletic team and the Kings aren’t hitting 3’s

They have like a grotesque surplus of athletic F's.

Looks like the bigger issue is the defense. Blazers getting lay ups after lay ups.

 

[Tetsujin]

It's like someone told Domas that he has to be more aggressive and he decided to go about it in the stupidest way possible.

 

[Sluggah]

So…yeah.

 

[sactowndog]

Ugly game

 

[ick300]

That should have been the worst 7.30 minutes of Vezenkov I have seen for the last 4 years
Total disaster

 

[LoungeLizard]

Just bad bad defense compounded by our cold shooting. Pathetic

 

[Turgenev]

I tuned in at the end of the first quarter and the game instantly kills my mood. Sometimes being a fan is a bit lame.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Don’t think that’s the problem tonight though. We have a ton of points in the paint and on defense it’s just crap from everyone. Almost no team can win missing 14 of 16 threes. The problem is most of them are open so it’s hard to turn them down

 

[SacTownKid]

Looks like the bigger issue is the defense. Blazers getting lay ups after lay ups.

The defense tends to fall with the 3's not going in. Especially when they let teams get out in transition. The Kings are 40% on 3's in wins, 32% in L's. That's pretty staggering. The Kings have won plenty of shootouts, scoring under 25 in a quarter in any game is their kryptonite.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Just got connected. So many hoops to jump through (for the record I'm in Carmel tonight). Glad I'm not in person for this one so far.
