[Game] 18/82: Kings vs. Thunder 25 NOV 2024, 7pm PT/10pm ET

[Capt. Factorial]

Hartenstein excels at moving screens

 

[The_Jamal]

Hartenstein moving screen, no call.

 

[The_Jamal]

**** Keegan. Make that

 

[coolhandluke]

Sabonis amped up the right amount today.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

"...surrounded like Pharaoh's army"?

 

[The_Jamal]

But yeah, early returns on Keon defense is outstanding. He's all over the floor

 

[TheMobb]

**** Keegan. Make that

Both great looks and good looking shots. Those will start dropping.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Defense for this lineup already looks much better with Keon.....and he just balances both sides of the ball

 

[coolhandluke]

"...surrounded like Pharaoh's army"?

Don't overanalyze it. Just go with the flow.

 

[SacTownKid]

Energy is looking pretty good. Not sure about that soft drop defense on SGA in pick and roll but it makes sense. If and when the time comes Brown better adjust.

 

[The_Jamal]

Just got to solve Keegan's shooting. Difference in this game right now, he had 2 great looks he should hit.

Can’t wait til we get D Carter and can apply even more pressure along with Keon and Fox and Murray

Should have made a Terracotta Army reference.

 

[The_Jamal]

Yeah, good luck. have to deal with 8+ minute rotation of that wing defense... only for Carter to keep it going.

 

[Angelo127]

Keon over Huerter was just too obvious to me.

Not sure why the guy ever decided to start Huerter over him

 

[The_Jamal]

Moving screen again

 

[coolhandluke]

Monk is not the panacea. Let him get his legs under him, bro.

 

[The_Jamal]

I mean Hartenstein hip checks every time. Domas would have 3 fouls by now

From over thinking the old adage that "you can't lose your spot from injury". While that is usually true, it shouldn't be set in stone

 

[The_Jamal]

Keon playmaking on defense. ****ing. awesome.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

We finally take advantage of another team's defensive error on the break

 

[gunks]

If we brought this energy to the Atlantas and Brooklyns of the world we'd have at least 10 wins by now

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Now, this is not true. Hartenstein only hip checks when he's set. When he's moving he doesn't have to.

 

[coolhandluke]

Moving screen again

Almost all of the OKC screens are illegal. They're getting reffed like prime Warriors.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Big of you to assume he'd only have three.

 

[Angelo127]

Keon balances the lineup defensively. Too much soft without him tbh

 

[SacTownKid]

Yeah it's kind of funny how you don't really notice something until it's gone. Just Monk being able to bring the ball up is a difference, lol. That extra guard is crucial for Brown.

 

[The_Jamal]

I'm too dumb dumb to know this. How do you combat a big that's getting away with moving screen/hip checks on every possession. What's the counter?

I'd say hard foul but those days aren't quite back yet haha. Honestly, per usual you switch. Switching saves a lot of beatings period.

Yup!
