[Game] 52/82: Pelicans @ Kings 08 FEB 2025, 7pm PT/10pm ET

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

May this be the start of some WINNING Kings Basketball!!!
What better way to welcome the Pelicans to our house by, well, ending the night lighting the...



LFG!!!!

 

[HndsmCelt]

The next 4 are all very winnable (3 against NO), and although they are not scrimmages, they will make for valuable time getting the new guys on the same page and adjusting rotations (maybe lineups?). Looking forward to seeing how LaRava works out tonight and lets see Zach LIGHT THE BEAM!

 

[bball_nomad]

We were 0-6 last season against Pels? I wonder why
It's cold and crappy in Chicago. I woke around 4:00 AM, did what I had to do. I'm sipping right now on good Remy Martin, with same tasty smokes.
For the sake of the sanity of this board, my dear Kings, just be 72-45 after 2 qs, OK?

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

...and lets see Zach LIGHT THE BEAM!

But why only Zach? And not the whole team???

We have some winnable games coming up, even outside of the next 4. It will be quite the journey to see how the boys gel together and play as a cohesive unit. I can't wait.

I mean I want to see HIM push the button!

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

I mean I want to see HIM push the button!

...in that case, then, SURE, WHY NOT???
Light that MUTHA EFFING BEAN...I mean BEAM, Zach!!!

 

[SacTownKid]

Get right time.

 

[BenchMob]

Looking forward for JV to smash the beam button and see sparks fly, it will be better then the beam itself.

 

[Noble]

Going to this one!

 

[SLAB]

Need this one. No ifs ands or buts about it. This is crucial.

 

[Jones2006]

Wait Trey Murphy has scored 40 points in 2 of last 3 games?! Didn't know he made "the leap" scoring wise but wow. This is the 1st game since Ingram being traded, so I expect him & Zion to have a jolt of confidence

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

After a day off and playing at home, I think most would agree that if we lose to the awful Pelicans team, it would pretty much be considered the lowest point of the season so far.

Yep, this is a must win at it's mostest must.

 

[jphilip]

Keep aleas going to tge 4th no threes were good kings offene appears to chuck it up pray we get called a foul no we need to get a gigh percentage shots

 

[Larry89]

Season is cooked if we lose to the Pels 2 times out of these 3

 

[Noble]

Is Zion playing?

 

[NewArena]

I want this one. Please LIGHT IT

 

[King-Da-Yah]

Thought about going to this but im pessimistic for da lighting of da bean!!!!! Ugh….lets light it from da couch!!!!

 

[captain bill]

A little pessimistic right now but we had zero time to practice and played 2 good teams, including taking the hottest team in the league to the wire in their house. Hopefully we get a repeat of coming out strong now that Doug’s had time to practice with the new guys. And get some good home cooking going. LTB!

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Kind of a perfect time to be playing one of the worst teams in the league for 3 of the next 4 games.

 

[The_Jamal]

I expect us to look a decent amount more polished in this one. Assume we got a practice in yesterday, guys getting a chance to settle in, get back in rhythm. Few more days removed from the Fox saga and the trade deadline (Also, which is kinda BS we have a B-B scheduled for the night before and night OF the deadline).

Said my goal before the POR game was just get to 2-3 and tread water till the all-star break. Come back and just go on a massive run. But just cannot lose your season here trying to find that chemistry.

Didn't we have yesterday to practice? I thought yesterday was our day off? I think maybe you just forgot that the team was off yesterday.

 

[Sluggah]

Wow, still no practice. Too bad.

 

[The_Jamal]

Frustrating on that first possession. Good defense, got that miss and didn't get the board. Think we had 2 or 3 of those vs POR too

 

[Kingz19]

“Zion playing his best basketball of the season”

Has he even played 10 games?

 

[HndsmCelt]

Need to see more energy on those offensive boards unless we’re gonna shoot 100%

 

[Kingz19]

Monk and Domas with a couple of WTF misses

 

[iowamcnabb]

gee, an early deficit

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

Wow, still no practice. Too bad.

I think they practiced yesterday, or did they say on TV that they didn't?
