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

[The_Jamal]

Missed 3 of 4 in crunch time. Despite all the ref BS, we controlled our own destiny to win this handily.

No excuse

 

[iowamcnabb]

Monk really rushed his shots, he had penciled in the win.

 

[SacTownKid]

Superstars don’t miss FTs in crunch time. Wow.

Giannis says hi.

 

[fansinceday1]

THEY ARE CALLED FREETHROWS FOR A REASON!!!!

They had a chance to win there for the first time in 8 DAM years and they can't hit their f/t's. PATHETIC and aggravating.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Dame “have some class” Lillard

 

[Rob-The-Great]

That was disgusting

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

They just had to defend the three

Seriously all they had to do was defend the three. I think the book it out on the kings. We can't even defend the three if the game depends on it.

I hope the shame crushes this team to a pulp. At least it's happening now. This pain should sting worse than any loss this season. This win was there for the taking but two clutch threes lost the game. Long hard look in the mirror I hope.

Needed the refs in their pocket and us whiffing 3/4 for them to even have a chance to win, but hey. dAmE tImE

Monk in particular. 90% free throw shooter makes his beforehand and it doesn't even matter what Fox does.

The universe said until you don't stop giving up those corner 3's you must suffer.

yeh right, you think we could defend Dame on a three and not get a foul call?

What was it three out of the four last free throws we missed??

To be fair, Dame hit a pull-up 30 footer. If we swarmed him, he would have just passed to another wide open 3 point shooter

 

[coolhandluke]

Only a three could lose the game. It's just poor awareness.

Who would have had maybe .5 second to hit it. You swarm him there. You ALWAYS swarm the shooter there.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Make your ****ing free throws!!!

 

[Kingz19]

Superstars don’t miss FTs in crunch time. Wow.

Well that’s not true. Kings only had a chance to win because Giannis missed free throws at the end of regulation.

But 1-4 in what were game icing free throws is simply a choke job.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

We double dame all day until it mattered. We are cursed

 

[macadocious]

I missed the first half, what happened to Keegan?

 

[iowamcnabb]

again, the minute we would have tried guarding him the little flop monster would have rammed his arms into our player and get to the line.

 

[SacTownKid]

The 3 in question was obviously the Lopez one while up 4. You had a two possession game. That's the breakdown. You can't foul up 2, you can foul up 3 or 4 for sure.

That said, no Brown explosion and this is a blowout probably anyway.

 

[KF8]

Good effort just gotta fix ths freethrows. The kings are the worst freethrow shooting team in the league.. surprised they haven't loss more games due to poor freethrow shooting in close games.

 

[fansinceday1]

They've sucked from the F/T line all season. It was bound to bite them in the a$$. Its just a shame they had to lose this one. 8 years!!!!! Maybe NOW they concentrate on their F/T's??????

 

[KF8]

I missed the first half, what happened to Keegan?

Hip irritation

 

[The_Jamal]

Despite all that, this is a game you can be proud of the effort *free throws aside*. Refs screwed them, but the return of Kvon can potentially be season changing if he builds on this game

 

[Rob-The-Great]

We just don't have that killer instinct man. I'm glad huerter is back we need him or someone to be consistent. That's just a bad way to lose a game man. Demoralizing

 

[TheMobb]

We double dame all day until it mattered. We are cursed

why let him dribble up the court to get the shot off? Double and let Lopez take it up

 

[fansinceday1]

The kings haven't aggrevated me all season, until this one. I really wanted to see a win here and they had it!!!!!

 

[NewArena]

Wow. Why can’t good things happen for us? Milwaukee will literally lose to Utah or some random team next week but we can’t have this one win smh

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Inexcusably poor awareness. This is when I wish we had NY style media instead of of "umm, hey DeAaron, how's your baby? What did it feel like to be on the losing end of this one? Tough loss huh? How bout we get a beer after this, on me?"

NY media: "Rumors continue to swirl about trade rumors for multiple players on this team, especially regarding the lack of 3pt defense. Do you think your place is secure despite being directly responsible for the loss Mr. Fox?"
