[Game] Kings @ Indiana Pacers, 2/2/2024, 4:30p PT/7:30p ET

The pacers are trying to foul and the refs just won’t call it

 

[pdxKingsFan]

how many missed fouls in the last 2 minutes? I feel like its record territory

Refs gotta help the home team unless the game is in Sacramento.

 

[coolhandluke]

Light the Beam!

I know the pacers are on the second night of a back to back, but that was one of our better defensive efforts all year (*after the first). A little nervous at the end but that’s on the refs in this one.

Didn't realize the game was on early. I only caught the last 4mins which turned out to be really stressful. Glad they showed they could hold a lead and not cough up the ball in a full court press

 

[whitechocolate]

Great game. Love the attitude.

 

[upinsmoke]

This game should have been over a long time ago but we don't know how to kill the clock.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Buddy a punk. No surprise

He's going to be on his burner, tweeting cash noise, in about ten minutes.

4-1 out of 5 games away from home and we will finish the 7 games run above the .500 for sure !
Great performance !
I think we all did even dream about that 5 games away ...
Goood job guys , solid play !

Well mate , was never in a doubt honestly ...
the closest they get in the last 5 minutes or so was 7 points ... 3 possession game is pretty secure even for our standarts (dont call suns please)

Just looking at Box score. Did Keegan get hurt?

Nope.

Not that I know of, looks like Brown wants him to be ready for tomorrow's B2B game against Chicago.

 

[Caccia]

Hard when you're getting fouled in the body AND on the arms.

Sabonis has four guys guarding him under the basket, one goes flying in the air and lands on his back. Turnover, Sacramento.

 

[gunks]

Good game! I loved Fox's energy on defense and attacking the paint, even if the FTs and 3 weren't there.

Domas solid as ever. Monk had his swag back. Black Falcon made another appearance.

On to the next!

And Light that Bean!

 

[ick300]

Looked like Brown saved Keegan for tomorrow indeed ... Put some real minutes for Kessler to put the energy in defffence that normally give Murray ...
Guy is stange though ... Very hard deffender no secodn opinion but not a single shot attempt even for 15 minutes sounds a bit too much for NBA

 

[Kingster]

Best defensive performance from Fox in a loooooong time. If he took a sip from Sabonis's triple espresso, please tank up regularly before games.

I finally saw a game from Edwards in which he definitively made a positive impact on the defensive side of the floor. If he could do that on a consistent basis I wouldn't have to be so concerned about a future trade for length and physicality.

Everybody else played energetically on the defensive end. Sabonis was his usual Sabonis self. Keep it up, Kings!

 

[PurpleHaze]

Kings horrible FT shooting continued tonight. But in the end did not bite them this game. Around basement 28th - 30th in the NBA FT % all season. When get in the playoffs that will bite them and knock them out for sure if not cleaned up. Many are rushed. Just step up to charity stripe and not immediately park there frozen, take a breath or two, relax and knock them down. Got it! Go Kings!

 

[Woot!]

Honestly he is the bigger snub than Fox.

Tru dat.

Fox is having an All-Star-caliber season. But a handful of guards in the West can say the same.

At this point Domas is a bona fide, league-wide, top-10 MVP candidate. That he's not recognized as an All-Star is just silly.

You cannot shoot if no one passes you the ball. Fox looked him off the entire time they were in the game together. Also, if another player was open, Kessler passed it to him, deferring to the more experienced hand. At least, that's what I saw. He did have one assist as a result.

 

[The_Jamal]

Brown going off already on Fox and Domas snubs lol. Love it

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Mike Brown going off love it. "14th player in the history of the game" like a broken record.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

He's gonna work himself into a shoot, brother! About to lighten that wallet up!

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Can he actually get fined for that? As long as the officials didn't snub them. lol

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Depends on how he sticks the landing: I mean, he obviously didn't say it, but it felt like he was getting close to implying that there may have been some collusion, if not in keeping the Kings' players out, specifically, then at least to make sure that some players got in.

Same with Vezonkov when he is out there mate , he is sitting wide open but no balls gatting to him ... (last 5/6 games was different though)
But this has to do also with the lond and short leashes of coach Brown ... When you know you will get more minutes if you don't miss - you do not shoot haha
Just looked strange for me 15 minutes without a single attempt

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Good news, everyone!

Hawks upset the Suns; Kings are back to a game ahead of Phoenix for the fifth seed; two games up in the loss column.

 

[ick300]

By the way was looking at the standing now ...
We are in real good position at the moment ... i like the chances to finish at a spot for home advantage in the playoffs ...
