[Game] Kings @ Milwaukee Bucks, 1/14/2024, 4:00 PST/7:00p EST

Next half I'm not sure I like the look of Keegan on Dame. They just keep running that pick and roll at Keegan and Domas with Dame and Giannis. If that starts rolling this game is over. Maybe have Keegan as the helper so he can reach in if the Kings start getting crushed by it.

There were some strange places for him to take some of them. He's not usually a dump off player at the side post like that

I don't know about that.. some of these shots are like wide open. It's not like he's shooting behind the backboard or something.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Kings played quite well to somehow be losing

It's only halFTime, there's plenty of game leFT.

 

[sono]

Everyone is passive and settles for a spot-up shooting when the ball is in the hands of Domas. Monk is the only one trying to be creative.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

barnes and huerter have not been horrible, but keegan has been horrible. Why can't all 3 not be horrible at the same time. Has that happen at all this season!?

"Y'all can't ever have three things that match!"

 

[SacTownKid]

I don't know about that.. some of these shots are like wide open. It's not like he's shooting behind the backboard or something.

Lets put it this way, he can hit them but this entire season he's taken 15 total shots at the left side post. He's take 3 tonight already.

 

[Caccia]

The coaches look prepared for this one. Len and Sabonis at the same time? We have a fighting chance. Also, they have not been laying off the weak side shooters quite so much, forcing Milwaukee off the line. When they do shoot, they are deadly, 8-14 thus far.

Yep. Dame is getting past Keegan far too easy for comfort.

well that will happen with the better part of NBA to be honest It's more on how good Dame is ...
Keegans struggle with the soot tonight s the bigger issue on his part imo ...
Hope he will unfreeze himslef in the second

Keegan is getting pinched on those screens. When you play two big players on pick and roll it's almost impossible to skinny over the top. The Bucks are one of those teams that will keep running Giannis in pnr until you eventually start switching. If they play big like that, just switch it. Let Domas come up and hedge out all the way up.

Keegan out

 

[ick300]

Murray out for the game

 

[SacTownKid]

I wonder if one of those screens took Keegan out. He ran into a bunch of them.

It might be a bit of a strategy. If he tries cutting off those drives Dame is going to flop his way to a foul. He seems like he is kinda running aside him with the hope of using his length to bother the shot.

 

[iowamcnabb]

What? For effs sake

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Lopez tried to get his Kyle Anderson on.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Fox has lowkey been ice cold since the first quarter.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

.... And right after I post that.

"Beautiful women don't just fall out of the sky, you know!"

 

[iowamcnabb]

I missed the start of the third, did they say what kind of injury it was?

 

[Kingz19]

Yeah, long term I don’t want him chasing around these off ball shooting point guards like Dame and Steph.

I’m happy that he’ll be a good defender at his position and has versatility.. but those assignments will wear him down and his offense is ultimately of more importance.

His best games are the ones where he wasn’t chasing around some little guy all guy.

Kings need to add a Vanderbilt type guy to the frontcourt to relieve Keegan of those assignments

I think it was the Lopez block/ foul on his dunk attempt

 

[ick300]

Right hand irritation was the whole explanation so far

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Hip irritation.







And we all know Keegan is irritated by anything hip

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Lyles whistled for not conceding the dunk

 

[Kingz19]

Domas aggressiveness against the likes of Lopez and Gobert..who are a combination of strength, length and athleticism compared to how he plays particularly vs Jonas(I think Warriors is more of a combination of two good big man defenders).

It seems they should bother him more than they do if the usual critique of Sabonis is true.

 

[ick300]

All of Giannis is a foul for christ sake ... stop breathing around him otherwise its a foul ....

 

[iowamcnabb]

Giannis has gone from my favorite non king player to one of my least favorite

 

[SacTownKid]

Doubling on a Giannis involved pick and roll is a bad, bad idea.

 

[Sluggah]

Softest damn fouls.

 

[Kingz19]

Huerter’s best game in a very long while
