[Game] Kings vs Timberwolves, 11/15/2024 7pm PST 10pm EST (Emirates Cup Game)

Better the last two possessions. If the Kings are running a traditional big lineup one has to stay in the paint. Unless Len is going to shoot. The 5 out, handoff stuff won't work otherwise.

HAVE to stay up on Ant. He's launching more than anyone else in the NBA right now

Len was standing in the corner there and Gobert literally could not care less. Just straight has his back turned to him.

 

[SacTownKid]

Domas really needs to start shooting that 5-7 foot hook shot. He's always trying to bury his man under the rim. He doesn't need to.

 

[The_Jamal]

Foxxy aggressive early. Good sign

 

[The_Jamal]

They're just straight up leaving Len alone. That dude has probably never been that wide-open in the half court his entire NBA career.

 

[SacTownKid]

They're just straight up leaving Len alone.

That side pick and roll with the weakside loaded up was better but yeah, it's allowing one of the best interior defenders in the league to roam a little.

 

[Caccia]

They have Len patrolling the perimeter. I had no idea he was that fleet of foot. But Anthony Edwards is hitting three-pointers over his outstretched hands, anyway.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I would have started Lyles and had him on Randle

 

[The_Jamal]

Here we go, already getting lapped with 3PM

 

[SacTownKid]

And that's what happens when Gobert can roam haha.

 

[BenchMob]

MN length is too much to overcome damn

 

[HndsmCelt]

This is not fun

 

[SacTownKid]

I don't get it. The defense will never be fixed. The Kings double out and they suffer! This is year 3??? I just don't get it. Switch and attack. That's all.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Yeah, this will either work, or really not work, haha.

Looks like "really not work" it is.

 

[TaxMan]

We really need an aggressive Keegan today, especially if we get a poor Huerter shooting performance

 

[Caccia]

Their three-pointers are killing us: 4-8 already. We are 1-3.

 

[SacTownKid]

The Kings can't let this get too far out of hand. Fox is going to have to play 40+ and be a star unless the DHO system reappears.

 

[The_Jamal]

Disaster.

Like, just start Keon. You have an all-defensive team caliber dude at your disposal that doesn't take your All-NBA C out of position.

 

[The_Jamal]

Biiig shot Trey.

 

[HndsmCelt]

The kings need Trey to have a big night tonight

Domas really needs to start shooting that 5-7 foot hook shot. He's always trying to bury his man under the rim. He doesn't need to.

it's why I asked in the last game thread whether his father had a post game, he is what he is at this point in his career and a post player with a hook is not one, he is way too stiff in his movements and there is no fluidity

 

[Capt. Factorial]

McDermott is so useless

 

[The_Jamal]

Keon is so ****ing absurd. He's dominating this game on defense

 

[Sluggah]

Are you kidding me.

 

[Tetsujin]

lol vintage Randle Kingskiller buzzerbeater three over two Kings.

 

[TaxMan]

Always ****ing Randle

 

[SacTownKid]

Keon making a difference so far.

 

[TaxMan]

McDermott is so useless

He’s currently Sasha 2.0. A three point assassin that can’t hit a three.

 

[The_Jamal]

Keon making a difference so far.

Would have been an excellent Keon/Lyles rotation if Randle doesn't drill a contested fadeaway 3 at the buzzer....
