[Game] 26/82: Kings @ Pelicans 12 DEC 2024, 5pm PT/8pm ET
- Thread starter Mr. S£im Citrus
- Start date
Perhaps not if Monte can pick up some front court reinforcements at or before the trade deadline?
The Kings play the Pelicans 3 more times this season and those games are all crammed into the same week (Feb 8 @ SAC, Feb 12 @ NO, and Feb 13 @ NO) right between the trade deadline (Feb 6) and the All-Star break (Feb 14-19).

How is there an official staring directly at this play (01:11 to 01:16) and not calling a moving screen?
Also at 07:40 in this video CJ McCollum catches the ball and casually takes 4 steps before dribbling the ball once and launching a three. And again at 08:30 CJ takes 4 steps after his gather dribble. Umm. What are these officials actually looking at out there? I didn't even watch the game and that's 3 horrible no calls just in the NBA's 9 minute official highlight cut up.

I love the way this team spreads the love and good vibes, even better when we're winning of course. We just have to fix whatever it is that gives us the yips or uncertainty in the final quarter of play. No need to stop doing what works just because there are four minutes remaining lol if anything, we need to lean into what works even more, down the stretch.
Despite the 5 wins and injuries, they’d been competitive the previous 4 games prior to playing the KINGS. They beat the Suns, who had Booker and Beale playing, lost to the Spurs by 5, who had Wemby playing, and lost to OKC and Atlanta by 10 and 12 points respectively.
And had Zion actually played, who knows how that changes outcome for better or worse. That’s just an assumption on your part, which doesn’t always workout the way you think it might. How any times have we seen undermanned teams step up? Well, the same often happens in reverse.

Yeah, the Kings have been hammered by injuries (maybe not as much as the Pels, who I’m assuming are always injured because their players are always clobbering each other at practice, or the Sixers, who might just be stealth tanking at this point) while trying to incorporate a third star into the system and having had most of the rotation out for most of training camp. Now that they’re all rounding back into shape things don’t quite look as bad.
Also the Pels had like a bajillion picks, BI, Josh Hart, and Lonzo Ball from the Lakers trade, got the first overall pick in the subsequent season, and somehow turned it all into a couple of first round exits before largely succumbing to injuries and potentially having to blow things up again. There is really no right way to build a team (also giving up Josh Hart and Lonzo for pretty much nothing doesn’t help matters).
