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

[BenchMob]

I am done with huerter

 

[Kingz19]

I swear, if the Kings are the best defensive rebounding team In the league…then nobody is good at it.

 

[gunks]

I am done with huerter

Weak link in the starting 5 for sure, and that's playing alongside HB!*


*who has actually been solid lately

 

[gunks]

I hate the live by the 3, die by the 3 approach.

We don't have the Splash Bros.... Feed Domas inside tonight!

Edit: although if Keegan heats up...

 

[Tetsujin]

Keegan saw the ball go in. That might be all it takes.

Unfortunately it looks like the Kings have 2 spots to fill in the starting group to be able to compete with the more athletic teams.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Virtually every time the Kings attack the basket, something good happens. And virtually every time the Kings attempt a three-pointer, something bad happens.

It's like the universe is trying to tell them something; they should listen.

well he's on pace to score 40, just that other guys need to step up.

 

[iowamcnabb]

This game is on the verge of swinging out way but we have to string together 3 good possessions and a couple stops. Let’s go boys

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I need to go back and reference older games (maybe last season), but has Huerter always had that weird motion in his shot? He kinda collapses his elbow in a circular motion and it just doesn’t look right.

It's always there to some degree. Sometimes it seems to be more pronounced

 

[iowamcnabb]

6 minutes to get this down to 4. Come on!

 

[ick300]

Today we will see if only two players can win a game ….
Where is the team

 

[Kingz19]

Ugh free throws

 

[gunks]

I feel like identical twins shouldn't be allowed to exchange jerseys

 

[KF8]

lost track of how many rebounds just bounce right to the blazers

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

I am done with huerter

I really like his game. That said, if we can package him, a Davion, and a Barnes for something impactful and intriguing, I'd take that call.

We've got a lot of guys I feel could come right in and give us something of what Huerter does even if it's a bit different.. Colby Jones comes to mind. Sasha could even take up some of those minutes.

 

[Kingz19]

Fox runs away from the guy with the ball

 

[Tetsujin]

Scoot with the great header to Domas!

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Fox's three pt shot has been filthy for a while now.

 

[KF8]

Murray and huerter just don't have it tonight. Will have to be Barnes or Monk.

 

[Kingz19]

Stupid half hearted shot by Domas looking for a call when he could’ve easily taken Grant all the way,

You guys suck at the line anyway

Working awfully hard to be losing ground in this quarter

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Ellis makes great decisions and has a really good feel for the game. Getting the ball into Sabonis rather than trying to do too much with it... you can see he just recognizes the smart play, and makes it. You love to see it.

 

[iowamcnabb]

We have 2 and a half players tonight. Everyone needs to step up defensively and at least one more player needs to get going

 

[Tetsujin]

Mike Brown held to his regular rotation and pulled Fox out and the Blazers immediately went on a run.

 

[iowamcnabb]

3 minutes to get within striking distance. Come on!

 

[gunks]

We gotta be the most frustrating 17-11 team ever

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Monk wants it.

 

[Kingz19]

Terrible

 

[iowamcnabb]

Not one player can stop a straight line drive tonight

 

[coolhandluke]

Kings defense looking comically bad -- can't defend the three or the drive or the paint.
