[Game] Sacramento Kings @ Atlanta Hawks, 12/29/2023, 4:30pm PST/7:30pm EST

Interesting that Keon and Sasha did not play.

I just feel like there are major moves being considered, and that Sasha and Keon's places are secure. Monte's seen enough. He's being patient... real top quality middle manager stuff... and properly not revealing his cards about who he's already decided to try to move. Can someone give this man a lateral promotion so he has more responsibility for the same amount of pay?

Yeah... I'm gonna need you to go ahead and... make a good trade.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Sorry guys but that package gets the all star 2 guard that has a name that rhymes with "Latrine". hahaha.

That would certainly add some sizzle.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Sign me up. Haha, if the Jazz are looking at Donovan Mitchell level packages for Lauri they aren't actually trying to trade the guy unfortunately.

I'm willing to sprinkle in some second rounders and pick swaps here. lol

 

[Tetsujin]

We have Murray in a role he is not suited to play. He just isn’t quick enough. We have Domas impersonating a turnstile.

We need a defensive 3 that can take primary defensive responsibility and we can slide Keegan to the 4 and take up back up d responsibility.

Keegan is literally putting up metrics that suggest he's one of the best perimeter defenders in the league. What role do you think he should be playing?

 

[SacTownKid]

If the refs are going to let Capela line dance his way around the floor like that then this is going to be impossible. I mean, travel?

 

[gunks]

Fox with 7 of 9 attempts being 3s...

Keegan going full November on the road....

 

[sactowndog]

Sure but not sure how much Domas and Keegan are to blame for Huerter randomly deciding to switch on every single screen over the last couple of weeks for some reason and Barnes having another one of his patented old guy games while both guys also contributed absolutely nothing on offense.

and you are ignoring Domas guarding absolutely no one as the other team makes free runs to the rim.

 

[Caccia]

I never thought I would say this, but they need to play Alex Len and Domantas Sabonis at the same time. Take out Harrison Barnes.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Fox with 7 of 9 attempts being 3s...

Keegan going full November on the road....

Instead of letting his better shooting settle organically into his game, he's become a high volume 3 guy. Doesn't feel like a great idea, for a team that already has a bunch of guys who rely on the 3

 

[KF8]

Hawks commentators so disrecpectful to murray lol "He's not much a factor to do anything if he's not making his 3's"

 

[Kingz19]

That’s more like it

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Hawks commentators so disrecpectful to murray lol "He's not much a factor to do anything if he's not making his 3's"

that's just the reality at this point

 

[SacTownKid]

Fox coming back to life a little. Brown has the Kings playing help on the right side of Murray just like the Hawks were playing on Fox/Monk in the first half and it's working the same haha.

 

[sactowndog]

Keegan is literally putting up metrics that suggest he's one of the best perimeter defenders in the league. What role do you think he should be playing?

One where he is expending a bit less energy on defense and he is not expected to check quicker 2-3 players like D. Murray. If Edwards could shoot I would rather have him guarding D Murray and let Keegan guard Johnson or Bey.

 

[Kingz19]

Come on Domas. Wtf man

 

[Kingz19]

Frustrating.

 

[Kingz19]

Absolutely pathetic!

 

[KF8]

The kings just cant pass tonight lol at some of these turnovers. That being said how do we only have 10 turnovers.

 

[Kingz19]

Monk has 6 turnovers.

That’s too many

 

[Tetsujin]

Malik with more turnovers than the rest of the Kings combined.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I'd try it, despite Edwards low 3 point %. He doesn't have to always shoot 3's

Keegan isn't staying in front of those quick guards in a foot race at any point but I think in time he'll realize he's way bigger so he can use space to his advantage a little more by playing off. Brown likes his guys to go over on screens and get skinny so that forces Keegan way up where he probably doesn't need to be.

 

[KF8]

That might have been a good challenge.

 

[Kingz19]

Wish Fox would’ve taken it to the hoop there instead of that “heat check”

He’s like a wrestler in MMA who won a couple by knockout and now he’s always head hunting and forgetting his base

 

[Kingz19]

That might have been a good challenge.

Which means Brown wants nothing to do with it.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

The problem is there isn't room for both Ellis and Mitchell in the rotation

 

[dude12]

Good 3rd quarter there. Looked normal. Give ourselves a chance in the 4th

 

[Woot!]

Bad game in a rough stretch by the Kings - and they're down only 5.

 

[SacTownKid]

The Hawks will shoot the other team back into the game and just did. Young is either all on or all off. Off night doing work on him in that 3rd though.

 

[Kingz19]

Davion blows the rebound

More second chance points
