[Game] Kings vs Clippers, 11/8/2024 7pm PST 10pm EST

[Sluggah]

Can you make a comeback in this age without threes?

 

[Elektrik]

Can’t guard the three, can’t shoot the three. Smh

 

[Tetsujin]

hard to mount a ten point comeback in two minutes but it helps when the other team has no timeouts left somehow

 

[gunks]

I feel like this "leave the 3 point shooter" wide open defensive scheme is kinda iffy

Why? It's working for the Clippers!

Bro wtf

I know it sounds weird, but I actually don't want the Kings to win this. They need to know that they can't wait until the end of the game all the time to try and make a run to win it. Losing this will be good for them. I know I don't speak for others, but that's my opinion anyway.

This game is the same as the Toronto game. You think they would have learned that game.

you can’t turn the ball over and trade 2’s for 3’s and expect to win. 42-9 on three point shots.

Our 3pt defense strategy just cannot be correct. It's open shooter after open shooter.

 

[sactowndog]

Maybe his seats are next to the broadcast booth?

tee hee. Thank god no

 

[Tetsujin]

In this case it’s all just rotation stuff caused by us blitzing on every possession.

Yeah... why?

Literally led to 3 wide open 3PA they drilled in those final 2 minutes, ruining our shot at a come-back. It's a bad scheme.

Chump don't want the help, chump don't get the help.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Live by the 3, die by the 3. The modern NBA more like glorified street ball, who can shoot deep ball after deep ball and who cannot. Tonight the Kings could not score from 3. Hard to watch at times which is why I prefer NCAA basketball with less emphasis on endless jacking 3s.

 

[Tetsujin]

Hard to win games when you only hit three threes. Pretty much all you can really take away from tonight lol

 

[KF8]

Gonna need monte to work his magic. Kings dont really have any reliable 3 pointer shooters. Monk is probably the best consistent pure shooter, but that would be about it. Huerter and Murry are too inconsistent.

 

[dude12]

That was a crapty loss

 

[twslam07]

It’s kind of crazy how few OREBs we had considering how many 3s we missed.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Can you make a comeback in this age without threes?

only if you prevent them from hitting

It’s probably a little too early into the season to be freaking out about shooting percentages

 

[hrdboild]

Well... it looks like the poor 3pt shooting finally caught up with us. 3 for 26 from deep and we only scored 98 points and lost by 9. Merely bad shooting would have been enough to win this one. Silver lining though, the Kings' FT shooting continues to be league-best!

 

[coolhandluke]

Credit to the Clippers. They took away the midrange and our hesitant three point shooters couldn't hit any shot to make them pay.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

How do we go from best 3pt shooting team to worst?

Clippers are just ok without The Klaw. We should have beat them and now we have to play maybe the second hottest team in the league on the road. They have a ton of 3 point shooters. Even if we took less 3s like some fans want you can’t win in the Nba when the other team makes 11 more threes than you, you just can’t. Mike is doing nothing to fix it either. No Mcbuckets, no McLaughlin who shot 46 percent last year. Not near enough looks for Kev. We have shot 40 percent from 3 one time this season out of 9 games. Only 2 or 3 about 37 percent.

Phoenix is going to absolutely feast if we don’t tighten up. I’m terrified of whatever this strategy is because the volume in which teams are shooting, seems to be just too much to gamble on them missing a bunch.

Hopefully it'll improve but huerter and murray has been pretty inconsistent all last season and that's a pretty big sample size.

I sure wish they got some of the calls the clippers got but i know that’s not why the Kings lost. It’s just mystifying to me lol

What does it say about the Kings when they were dominated in all facets of the game today? They didn't even have their #1 guy.

 

[NewArena]

Hey this is what the western conference is. Might as well experience a big rough game like this one and don’t let it become the norm, the way Houston and New Orleans punked us last season.

 

[NewArena]

Just one of those nights. Kings missed a ton of easy shots and i really didn’t see the Clips looking like the 04 Pistons out there.

and it wasn’t even a major prob tonight, it’s the offense. We can’t make them and a lot of them were way off tonight, Keegan’s in particular. That day off did not help it appears
