Yikes. Rough finish.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

This is why you don't screw around with playing McLaughlin and Mason Jones before Keon

 

[Tetsujin]

Not the greatest stint by Trey here

 

[iowamcnabb]

We love ending halves poorly haha

 

[The_Jamal]

Kings contractually obligated to stop playing NBA basketball for a 2-3 minute stretch, give up an 11-0 despite playing mostly excellent ball the rest of the time. Them the rules this season.

Literally none of those guys were on the floor in that closing stretch?

Yikes. Rough finish.

Seems like a trait with this team. Rough finishes to quarters.

It'll be interesting to see what happens after what I assume was first half auditioning. Brown might want to dial back his 11 man rotation, lol.

Not the point

 

[Sam0ah]

Refs keeping Utah in the game.... They almost have double the Kings in free throws.

 

[Tetsujin]

Not the point

I mean, Keon had a Snell in the first half so I’m not sure this is quite the right game to be making whatever argument it is you’re trying to make.

 

[Makaveli]

Do Katie and Kyle have monitors. How did they not see that fox elbowed Filiposki in the ribs? It was a get back from him doing same to Fox the possession before. I mean that’s good talking points in a game it’s a subject. Instead they watch review and Katy says oh he tripped

 

[Caccia]

Everyone except Colby Jones played in the first half. Who, apart from the regular starters, impressed the most? I liked Orlando Robinson, myself.

Both I Jones and O Robinson were awesome!

Kind of feels like a "Just get through it, after we burned all our main guys last night and are down 3 of our best players" sort of game.

Even though he had perhaps the worst three point miss I’ve seen all season, I thought JMac did a good job of keeping the team afloat while De’Aaron got his rest. ORob looked good as well.

We had a 12 point lead we blew that would have not been helped by Keon. Not sure what he has to do with this

I actually think everyone played pretty well who came in. O-Rob I think had the biggest spark, but was pleasantly surprised with the effort all around. Looked like a bunch of dudes who came in hungry, knowing they don't have time to mess around with providing impact.

The funny thing is Keegan is still in that window of playing 40 minutes and unless the Kings get out ahead Fox will likely play more in the 2nd half putting him in that 40 window most likely. All those benchers ate into eachother minutes. That had to be all about getting their feet wet and getting a look.

 

[iowamcnabb]

These big swings we have seen from time to time often look very similar. Missed threes and turnover on our end and splashed threes on the opponents end. That Suns game from last year will stick in my memory forever. Gross

Robinson looked good. I think it was clear that Jones had instant chemistry playing with Fox. He is kind of like Holmes but with much better hands.

 

[Caccia]

He is still really good. I will post more at halftime.

Among players who have appeared in at least 10 games this season, Keon Ellis ranks:

1st in net rating
1st in defensive rating
2nd in TS%
3rd in 3Pt%
5th in FG%
2nd in steals per 36 minutes
2nd in blocks per 36 minutes
2nd in +/- per 36 minutes
5th in turnovers per 36 minutes

That is all I have to say.

I'll be surprised if Ellis isn't banking most of those minutes next half. There had to be a plan blowing out almost everybody in that first half.

 

[Tetsujin]

Save us Roy Al!!!

 

[Kingz19]

SIGH

 

[SacTownKid]

Was Lyles always this slow? Dude has gotten picked apart in pick and roll this season. Wonder if his calf or whatever still isn't right.

 

[Caccia]

Utah is outscoring Sacramento 10-3 to start the third. The defense is leaky.

 

[megapoxy]

No Roy Al finally.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Swing and a miss on the comedy bit

 

[Tetsujin]

Boooooooooo
