This game got gross really quickly

 

[Kingz19]

I guess the Kings got their fill of not allowing open threes all game last night

Turned on a dime when Murray picked up #3.

Well shoot.... Good thing we got another half

The Kings best 3 point defense is pray for misses for sure, haha.

 

[KF8]

Coming off an impressive game last night only to lay an egg against an injury depleted team is the type of game the kings seem like they would lose. Hopefully being down by 3 at half wake the kings team up.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Turned on a dime when Murray picked up #3.

Looks like 16-7 after that point

 

[Kingz19]

Kings relapsed defensively. Not surprising. They rarely play defense when playing at home.

Turning the ball over. Low energy.

All the hallmarks of another home let down but we’ll see what the second half brings.

Please..learn to ride the hot hand

Keegan had 15 points on only 5 shots…but only had 5 shots.

Gotta face facts, when you are the worst 3 point defense in the league any team that doesn't clank away is going to eventually break your team down. This style help down and run out defense is not bad one night, terrible the next.

 

[kingsboi]

atrocious defensive effort, may be preserving their energy or are simply out of energy

 

[joemama]

We struggle when teams clamp down defensively, it's just sad because of who it is against.

With the kind of defense the Kings play on draw and kick they basically have to play like maniacs or hope shots just don't fall lol. Teams force them into a lot of movement and running.

 

[KF8]

It's gonna be critical for kings to win this one. Kings got the nuggets on the road next and it's highly improbable they sweep the season series against them. Then after that @wolves. Could potentially be a 3 game losing streak dropping to 8th seed.

 

[Caccia]

Someone named Haywood Highsmith is outscoring every player on the Sacramento team except Keegan Murray, both with 15.

Last night was the best defensive outing of the year. Tonight they look a little out of sync on team defense, and De'Aaron Fox is forcing plays on offense. He only has two assists, but has shot the ball 11 times. Share the rock! Find your open buddy Malik.

There always seem to be that guy who averages 5 points a game go off on the kings.

The recipe to beating the kings is to just have most of your players out with injury or suspension. Works 90% of the time.

 

[Kingz19]

Not looking good

I hate to see it, but this might have merit to it.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

If it feels like we really stink, that's because Miami is on a 36-18 run.

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Heat is so well coached. They are the ultimate plug and play team. They all seem to play tough D and take away your strengths

 

[BosnianDiehard2.0]

Can’t see us winning this unless Fox takes over.

 

[MizzouKing]

Monk doing Monk things!!

 

[SacTownKid]

Wow. The defense is pretty bad but credit to Spo, he goes after matchups for sure. Where the Kings are small he attacks. Where big he drives. The talent has to balance out here in a minute though.

 

[Woot!]

Feels lackluster, but Domas likely headed for another trip-dub - so there's that.

 

[SacTownKid]

And there you go. The Kings get mismatched and destroyed.

 

[Kingz19]

Sigh

 

[Kingz19]

Kings need to figure out how to show out for the home crowd. This is getting ridiculous

 

[SacTownKid]

This 3 guard lineup is getting blasted. Flat out blasted. The Heat are all 6'5" and above. How can Brown not see that Spo is trying to get mimatches on switches here?
