[Game] Kings vs. Timberwolves 10/24/2024 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[Turgenev]

King's are playing well overall. Competing on both ends. Minny is a good team.

 

[Tetsujin]

If this is just who Keegan is as a player now, our top five guys might be the second or third best top five in the league non-Celtics edition.

 

[The_Jamal]

Great great half. Lots of energy, the offensive upside of this team is incredible. Absolutely some lack of familiarity and cobwebs we need to dust off, but the offensive design is awesome. 59 on this Wolves defense is excellent, there aren't many defenses this good in the league.

 

[hrdboild]

More FTA than 3PA in the first half for the Kings! What a glorious stat that is.

 

[Bfreeman]

If Kevin continues to be a gopher out there how long till Keon starts.

Shhh. Let's keep this a secret for the first 30 games of the season.

Keegan working out with Malik and then Herb Jones in the summer paying off

 

[Tetsujin]

Len has logged 1 min? Have we been running Lyles at the 5?

Yup. Wolves went “small” with Reid at the five so Mike countered with the Trey-Keegan frontcourt

 

[Tetsujin]

Keegan and Deebo both played 22 minutes in the half so we might see some more small lineups in the third quarter to get both guys rest.

 

[BenchMob]

Hopefully we will see a different 3Q team this year and get off to a hot start of the 2nd half

 

[PurpleHaze]

DeRozen as advertised as good as ever and now no question it's Kings BIG THREE - and maybe big 4 with Keegan eventually joining the parade.

not enough shots for Kevin with that group.

And people acted like Malik being hurt didn’t have anything to do with the Kings falling down the standings at the end of last season

 

[The_Jamal]

Keegan and Deebo both played 22 minutes in the half so we might see some more small lineups in the third quarter to get both guys rest.

The Keon-Lyles groupings didn't go very well, so hopefully we can get that adjusted here in the 2nd half with them. Also Huerter not being fully up to speed hurting that a bit.

Not having a true PF is showing today. Randle and Reid are eating. Lyles looks too slow footed on D to make a difference on that end

It's a well-known weakness for the Beam Kings. It's tough being the smaller team on most nights. Wish Monte would have addressed it by now.

 

[Bfreeman]

He stayed for the pizza fam. I would think he’d get something decent like Round Table.

Not sure that complaint particularly applies when most of Randle’s points have come from him shooting like a Splash Brother and not any particular size advantage.

Domas isn't so much involved in the offense as a creator anymore, had some nice passes when he did, I don't know if it's Minnesota guarding him or a change of plans from our side, I guess a bit of both.

We're also uhh, winning? And if we hold teams to a 110 total, we're going to win a lot games this season.

 

[Turgenev]

A little. And they had a couple of plays with Lyles holding the ball in the high post, which I haven't seen/ noticed before.

[The_Jamal]

Domas only needs 4 more 3's this game for sactowndog to be happy

 

[sono]

Domas from corner 3?

 

[Kingz19]

Fox looking good

 

[Tetsujin]

KeeganOS 3.0 has the new Derozan data upgrade preinstalled

 

[megapoxy]

Wolves 3/3 3s the first 2' of 2nd half... but our offense is smooth at least!

 

[SacTownKid]

Fox starting to run the show.

 

[Caccia]

It works cause no one else is doing it. They live and die by threes and it gets really boring to watch after awhile.

Likewise with the offensive rebounds. No one else is doing it, even though stats say that shots after the OR are high-percentage.

 

[hrdboild]

Uh oh. ESPN might want to start revising those NBA player rankings already. The Kings are getting anything they want right now against last year's #1 defense.
