Game is so sloppy and slow.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Fox must really want the rest of the game off, or something.

 

[Caccia]

The Kings are playing a lot more man-to-man in this game. It has not worked terribly well so far.

 

[NewArena]

Early Sunday games are always disgusting. Everyone looks tired or bored

 

[Caccia]

Fox must really want the rest of the game off, or something.

I see he has five fouls and three turnovers in the first half. As iowamcnabb said: "sloppy and slow." Monk looks a bit rusty, himself, with three turnovers. Both three-pointers missed badly.

 

[dude12]

pee poor effort on defense. They must have ahead a hard practice yesterday because they look like they have been on the road for 2 weeks

 

[iowamcnabb]

I mean what can you say about that half? 25 percent from 3, 14 turnovers, 12 fewer free throws.

only real bright spot was McLaughlin and to a lesser extent Keegan.

2 of his TOs are from offensive fouls ( the second one being very suspect.)

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

The Emirates NBA Cup, huh?

 

[Caccia]

Murray vs. Murray. Kris should grow an afro so he looks taller.

 

[AaronPDX]

Anyone missing the ability to watch this game today.....you're lucky.

 

[NewArena]

At least have a hard fought 4th quarter and kick their butts

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

 

[iowamcnabb]

This is one of the worst performances I’ve seen from a Sabonis/Fox/Keegan core

 

[Caccia]

Usually, I have a good feel for how a team is going to do before the season starts, but with so many guys out during training camp, I am at a loss what to think. I do like how hard they are working on defense, including Fox.

Sunday afternoon home games usually suck. Preseason is just a recipe for disaster. Can’t totally blame them but they clearly would rather be doing something else today.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Just tuned in what exactly is happening here?

G-Man calling this game like, "And here I thought I'd get to wrap up my career calling games for a good team..."

Real bad mentality then. Incorporating DD. Getting Keon acclimated as a starter. These reps are important. It's sad to watch them treat this like an all star game.

 

[Caccia]

Good effort, poor results at both ends.

 

[iowamcnabb]

8 more made 3s, 10 more free throws & less turnovers

 

[reptilexcq2]

This Kings team seems to have mentality issue which is they tend to chill when they're playing home. That's why in the regular season games from last year, it wasn't that great. They're not as sharp and focus at home.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

you don’t want to know

correct.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That's at least the third time that DeRozan had made a play for Keon Ellis, and Ellis couldn't cash in.

 

[BenchMob]

Keon will be the man left open in that lineup, he needs to hit those at a decent rate

 

[iowamcnabb]

Get it to 10 in a loss,
At least be respectable. We need a spark

 

[Caccia]

I am beginning to see why Kevin Huerter may end up the starting shooting guard, after all. The Kings' three-point shooting has been abysmal in all three preseason games so far. Of course, I would still like to see Malik Monk get his chance, but we know that will never happen under normal circumstances.

 

[Krunker]

sloppy

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Get these dudes out the game, Mike. They don't want to play today.
