[Game] Sacramento Kings at Memphis Grizzlies, 12/31/23, 5 PM PST/8 PM EST

[Capt. Factorial]

In what may end up being the final NBA game in 2023 (Magic/Suns is scheduled to tip off at the same time) the Kings will try to finish up a 3-game road trip with a winning record. The Grizz have an atrocious record of 6-20 this year...when Ja Morant doesn't play. But when he does, they're 4-1. Morant will play tonight, so it's likely to be a tough go for the Kings.

Huerter was last listed as questionable with a left hand strain for the Kings.

Happy new year guys !!! It’s 2024 already in Bulgaria anddddddd ….

[pdxKingsFan]

We know Fox doesn't need an obnoxious fan in the stands to get up for Ja so let's FG.

Happy new year @ick300.

 

[Turgenev]

Happy new year from Australia. The future is looking bright here. Go Kings!

Light the beam on new year's eve. In our culture whatever you are caught doing at the turn of the year, is what you'll be doing most for the new year. So nothing better than getting caught lighting the beam!!!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Huerter is available, but will be coming off the bench today...the starter at the 2? Chris Duarte.

 

[Turgenev]

Huerter coming off the bench today.

I’m really curious to see what this looks like.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I’m really curious to see what this looks like.

I'm really curious what our first offensive play is going to be...because it can't be the traditional DHO from Domas to Huerter.

 

[Sluggah]

Love that move from Keegan

The answer... DHO from Domas to Keegan

 

[Sluggah]

WOW Fox. Holy cow

 

[Insomniacal Fan]

WOW Fox. Holy cow

Yeah, WHAT?

 

[iowamcnabb]

I wonder if Keegan needs a bit more snap of wrist on those threes. Just a bit more backspin. He keeps getting this in and out bull

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Bane really heats up against the Kings. Every game

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Sabonis stares at the rim too long on the free throws. Makes it lack rhythm

 

[Caccia]

Give the coaches credit for trying something different.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Nice mix of action so far. Grizz 60 percent from three has a good chance of coming down.

Let’s see first if it’s something new or just Huerter isn’t 100% fit to play …..

Give the coaches credit for trying something different.

and I'm waiting to give the GM credit for trying something different

The Bulgarian commentator said something like “Memphis are the second worst 3pt team in NBA” and they started 5/7

 

[Sluggah]

Thought Duarte started because Huerter was out. Interesting

 

[The_Jamal]

Monk-Huerter-Lyles is certainly a pretty imposing offensive punch off the bench. Might really help with the consistency of that unit

 

[Sluggah]

This lineup…not terrible

 

[BenchMob]

Nice to see a good end of a quarter from the Kings

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Not sure I've seen many quarters with more wide open threes available for both teams. It's like warmups out there.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Good defense for the most part and credit to Memphis for making some great sprays for 3s. Love that Davion drive too

 

[iowamcnabb]

Haha Ja was pissed when he missed that three on Fox. I wonder if they have some talk going

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Great tap out board by Len

 

[Kingz19]

Love the Len tap out.
