[Game] Kings @ Spurs 11/11/24 5pm PST, 8pm EST

[iowamcnabb]

Every game matters and this one is no different. If Kings win they are 7-4 if they lose it’s 6-5 with tough games against the Suns and Wolves coming up.

Spurs are much better than last year and they just got Vassell back who torched the Kings last season. Pop is out but I’d imagine whoever is in charge tonight is a good coach.

Our starters are tired and having no legs is not usually good for the 3 pt percentage. Give me more of the two Mcs tonight. Will Wemby be asked to guard Derozan? He might be one of the few guys in the league who can stay flat footed on those pump fakes.

Feels sort of crapty that all our "easy" games have a pretty serious rest disadvantage attached to them.

real curious how Wemby handles Domas physicality. Domas ripped this team last year

26.7 PPG
14 RPG
9.0 APG
72% FG

and Wemby played for the first 2 of those games. Wemby no doubt will get him a few times, but really does seem like the only possible way to counter him is to attack him right at his chest and get him off his spot. There's also very few punishing offensive C's like Domas too, so should be a real fun match-up.

Monk will miss eight games, minimum, counting tonight. Six will be at home.

Dang, our bench gets crappier.

I'm also preemptively angry at HB for his incoming 30+ point outburst tonight.

Yeaaaa, not great. Probably need to give McDermott the shot to fill some his minutes, he's the only one capable of at least attempting to fill Monk's scoring punch

Right about now it would be nice if Devin weren't hurt.

All in all, 8 games isn't bad. It could have been a lot worse. Devin Carter can't get here soon enough! We need another high energy catalyst off the bench even when Monk is healthy.

Jinx again.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Spurs using Roman Reigns’ music to start their starting lineup intros lmao

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Mitch Johnson? Never heard of him

 

[Tetsujin]

LOL aggressive HB making his token appearance tonight

 

[Capt. Factorial]

We lost the trade!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Geezus. Murray tossed up a wide open air ball

 

[Kingster]

An evaluation in two weeks isn't like playing in two weeks. I usually double the evaluation period for an estimate of the time period of not playing. If he comes back sooner, I'm even happier.

I'll be particularly interested in Heurter's play in this game. A Fox sighting would also be appreciated. Like the assistant coach said on the pre-game, they need to run to offset some of the Wemby effect.

 

[The_Jamal]

How is that not basket interference?

Thankfully, Domas hits the J, but still. Playing the refs again?

 

[Caccia]

Not much of a crowd on hand for a Monday night game.

I'm pretty sure Domas traveled on that play too so it's a wash.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

If you average Keegan's and Fox's airballs, we hit both shots

 

[hrdboild]

Domas draining mid range shots now too. The Deebo aura is spreading!

 

[gunks]

Wemby is such a cheat code.

 

[The_Jamal]

Love Domas pulling with no hesitation. Eventually, Wemby will have to step out and clear out the paint here.

 

[The_Jamal]

Huerter has been so incredibly active on defense. Super impactful.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

sloppy shooting

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Did Huerter's release look the same two seasons ago? I swear it's different

 

[The_Jamal]

So that Huerter 3.. Bad shot.

But that Lyles shot you cannot abandon. Keon collapses the defense, hits him in the C&S, wide open, in rhythm. Those are the shots you have to keep pulling, every time.

Did Sabonis steal a dish to DeMar?

This is all I'm saying. Take the good open ones. Reduce the too quick, off balance, and real deep ones

 

[dude12]

Will need 1 or 2 bench guys to step up tonight. McBuckets?

 

[The_Jamal]

McBuckets 8th man in the rotation tonight
