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

[ShastaKingsFan]

Go to the ****ing basket

They lack an understanding of the value of putting pressure on a defense. Especially when you're in the bonus

 

[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.”

You were always right, GMan. Good teams don’t do this. This isn’t a good team.

 

[Woot!]

On an off shooting night for Fox he's taken slightly more than a third of their shots.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Winnable game we p'd away and could come back and bite us.

 

[TaxMan]

Welp. Off to enjoy dinner.

 

[gunks]

Gross loss.

Too many effin 3 attempts

 

[SacTownKid]

Well, looks like it holds true. No 3's at that +37% territory and even beating the Wizards while they are throwing the ball around like it's covered in butter is a rough challenge.

 

[TaxMan]

I don’t understand how we couldn’t run our offense against the worst defensive team in the league

 

[KF8]

Well time to become a jazz and hawks fan and pray for the best.

 

[TheMobb]

What just happened with Mike Brown and Monk?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Sheesh! This was a bad loss. No way to spin it.

[OffTheWallJamal]

Kayte again with that line, ''Schedule plays you''. We were playing two of the worst teams back to back. And we beat Raptors last night by 30, so there was plenty of rest.

 

[SacTownKid]

On an off shooting night for Fox he's taken slightly more than a third of their shots.

Fox was like 0-8 to start though wasn't he? He got going but the average is what it is for this team. It's the 3's that will tell the tale more often than not. Obviously Fox doing this against an actual playoff team probably doesn't matter either way but you can beat teams like this if the 3's fall.

To be fair, there really isn't much off an offense, in terms of running anything. It's hand offs around the top and one on one play

 

[Tetsujin]

They packed the paint and let us take as many threes as we wanted and pretty much none of them went in

 

[luckytkp]

This is the identity of this team. They got causal with bad teams and got burned

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Meanwhile in March Madness.

 

[KF8]

We'll give the kings a pass. They played last night and the refs weren't the best.

 

[Woot!]

What just happened with Mike Brown and Monk?

Yeah, Mike looked pretty ticked at somebody, and it was probably Malik.

 

[TaxMan]

Kayte again with that line, ''Schedule plays you''. We were playing two of the worst teams back to back. And we beat Raptors last night by 30, so there was plenty of rest.

Well the back to back clearly had an impact on our legs. However a smart team would have switched things up and stopped jacking lazy threes.

 

[luckytkp]

I am sure we are the only team that got beat by pistons, wiz and hornets.

 

[Tetsujin]

Given how utterly trashy Kings fans were being when the Huerter injury news came out, we absolutely didn’t deserve to win this one.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Glad the NCAA tournament took precedence over us playing a bad team. We know who we are. On to the next one.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Obviously Fox doing this against an actual playoff team probably doesn't matter either way but you can beat teams like this if the 3's fall.

The question is why would you want to rely on 3's against that roster? That just gives them a chance to win, if you have an off shooting night

 

[Tetsujin]

Well the back to back clearly had an impact on our legs. However a smart team would have switched things up and stopped jacking lazy threes.

We did though. In the second half, most of those threes were wide open looks off of drive and kicks

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

We'll give the kings a pass. They played last night and the refs weren't the best.

Nah, no passes for losing to the Wizards. Kings took them lightly, and it bit them in the ass.

 

[KF8]

I question fox IQ sometimes. His shot selection has been questionable at best.

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Well the back to back clearly had an impact on our legs. However a smart team would have switched things up and stopped jacking lazy threes.

We still have to beat this Wizards team—no excuses. But on the other hand, these are the Kings we are talking about. This season has been one of the strangest I have ever seen being a fan of the team for 20 years.

The Wizards really clamped down the paint tonight. Physicality also is still the Kings biggest weakness. Tonight they actually got a little flustered by it to be honest. Domas didn't have a very good game and his assist numbers are almost always going to be tied to the shooters knocking down shots. I still think the difference in the end was not switching up the defense earlier and then going back to a zone/help to start the 3rd. The game started on runs directly tied to allowing a bigger, stronger team to get around or behind the defense then scrambling from there into an eventual breakdown. When the Kings went for the dribble they were able to fend off the Wizards advantages.
