[Game] Kings @ Wizards - 3/21/2024 - 4:00PM PST/7:00PM EST

everything is either a 3 pointer or long jumper.. can't win this way.

That's where the defense has to start stepping up. We just saw again what the Wizards are doing. Kuz was on Duarte, as soon as Duarte starts getting pushed back it automatically triggers a soft double team then sends the Kings defense into scramble mode. The Kings need to try playing a little more man to man, and start pressuring the dribble. If you get a few fouls on the reach in, oh well.

It's like we always say....they live and die by the 3. They win a lot of games with it... and lose some that they shouldn't

looking at the shot chart almost every make except for maybe 2 is from inside 15 feet. Take it inside!

 

[coolhandluke]

Getting blown out by the Wizsrds? It's tough to take this team seriously.

They don't have a shotblocker. Maybe it's better to chip away at the lead by attacking the paint instead of hoisting threes trying to catch up quick?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Monk is a good scorer, but it's too much one on one for my taste

 

[TaxMan]

jesus

 

[iowamcnabb]

Stay the course. Use your new found defense to scrap and claw back in it. Wiz will prob cool off. Get it to 12 by half

 

[Woot!]

Domas' double-double streak is in real jeopardy the way this is going. 4/2/2 w/5 min left in the half, 3 fouls.

 

[TaxMan]

and then fox hits the craziest shot

 

[Caccia]

Foxy move under the basket.

 

[Caccia]

Go Kings! Get your act together and hit some threes! Only 2-15 from deep is not going to do it.

 

[TaxMan]

get this under 10 by half and should be ok

 

[Tetsujin]

Should be noted that Kuzma is probably not gonna shoot 70% from the field all night.

 

[KF8]

kings couldn't have played any poorer, if they can keep the lead at just around 10 it could bold well still.

 

[SLAB]

This’ll teach me to start buying in. Smh

GMan said it best, “They’re down 36-54… good teams do not do that.”

 

[Woot!]

Monk is a good scorer, but it's too much one on one for my taste

Waaaaay too much. And it's not always bailout stuff. Too often w/10+ seconds left on the shot clock he's doing the fancy dribbling above the 3 while the other four guys watch. Move the ball!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I have no idea who the Wizards coach is, by seeing him

 

[TaxMan]

tired legs at this point

 

[Woot!]

HB got fouled about 5 times before they called it. Free throws keeping us in it at this point.

 

[HndsmCelt]

If the kings are going to win this game it's going to take some of the other guys stepping up tonight

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

tired legs at this point

They blew out Toronto and rested the starters for the 4th

 

[Woot!]

Amazing. Playing like crap - but it's only 7.

 

[Tetsujin]

Wizards with the Kingsiest defeat from the jaws of victory stretch possible.

 

[TaxMan]

 

[HndsmCelt]

Looks like Fox just had to wake up

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Modern basketball.

 

[Tetsujin]

Richaun sleeper agent activated lmao

 

[SacTownKid]

Much better defense. Switching up into high pressure does the job yet again.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Richaun sleeper agent activated lmao

except for knocking Fox's jaw off.

 

[Woot!]

And just like that Domas has 6/6 and says - don't you worry about the dub-dub.
