The Jazz are 3-7 in their last ten games, not the Warriors, who are 7-3.

Good catch! Fixed . I seriously must've been thinking about the Warriors for some strange odd reason when I was posting that.
I even mentioned them again earlier in the same post...Whooooooooops!!!

 

[NewArena]

Putting wins together with this new group will give this squad confidence going forward against anyone they take on afterwards. Similar to the Warriors who beat up on poor teams and now seem to be flying high

 

[jphilip]

Easy fg attempts go tk tge foul line domas newd to start 4th quartwr offense. No heroics lessen turnovers get more cats

 

[Krunker]

We gotta win this one, Utah is in tank mode, Sexton is still out and probably Kessler Walker as well, so if we lose it will be to Keyonte George, Collier, and Filipowski

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Let's let Lavine go for 50. Time to build some confidence. There's a reason bullies beat up the weak. It really does work for fixing your self confidence.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I’d love to see three strong quarters with the starters putting up great numbers and then a fourth quarter a solid bench playing to build what I’m hoping is going to be one of the best benches in the league

 

[bball_nomad]

We better not mess up today. We finally got a "feel good" game against Hornets. It's not about a W. Team was more in sink. Decisions were made quicker, even new well prepared plays were executed.
True, third quarter was a horror fest.
Anyway, we all see and think what to do with the starting 5 (DDR, you are 35+ years of age. You are lucky to be on a team that actually tries to play for something). Kings starters together on the court terrify me. BUT, Kings have elite, grade A+++ reserves. DC is a smart guy. Every NBA team plays according to their strengths, thus problems to be negated differ. DC must play starters together for the first 5+ minutes in the first and third quarters. The rest is in his own hands.
Our home record is 15-14? Let's equalize and make road record identical

 

[Caccia]

Walker Kessler will play tonight. Isaac Jones is not on the injury list, nor are any other Kings players. It has been awhile since we saw him play any meaningful minutes.

 

[NewArena]

Isaac Jones really seemed like he was becoming something for us and then Mike Brown had stopped playing him, if i recall. What a strange season lol that feels like 2 years ago

 

[BosnianDiehard2.0]

The Kings only have a handful of games left against bad teams, each one of them is a must win with how tight the West is and considering we’re behind the 8 seed.

I think it was more than likely defensively related. Isaac was doing well offensively but he had no idea what he was doing on defense half the time.

 

[SacTownKid]

Are Isaac Jones, Carter, and Crawford even going to be there? They played in the G league today, I doubt they're available.

 

[NewArena]

Would love to see our guys get to the foul line as well. It’s really unbelievable how much less DeMar gets there with us smh that Bulls game in sac last season (Kings choked a big lead) was the most disgusting game from an officiating standpoint lol i long for the days we get calls like that.

If Alf, Slamson and a Raccoon mated

3 first possessions 3 turnovers.... what else is new?

 

[Caccia]

Sloppy start.

 

[SacTownKid]

The starting unit continues to have a hard time finding some chemistry. It has to be a mental thing at this point.

 

[Caccia]

Sensebaugh landed on DeMar's foot. Does that count as a foul?

Too much thinking and not enough reacting, perhaps. A couple of passes were forced.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

This starting lineup is suspect man. Just no chemistry at all

Sensebaugh landed on DeMar's foot. Does that count as a foul?

Not if you are a Sacramento Kings player apparently.

 

[Caccia]

Keegan Murray!

 

["Him"mer Fredette]

Great plays early by Murray! Even like the missed midrange shot. We dont need him to be a torcher. A Mr. Everything that can hit an open 3 is what I'd settle for.

 

[Jdbraver137]

Thank heavens they are tanking.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Monk is not a pg, hes a playmaker, he can get a assi6, but he cannot run a offense. There is a big difference

 

[Jdbraver137]

Yah monk needs to Fultz play pg

 

[Caccia]

Monk is not a pg, he's a playmaker, he can get a assists, but he cannot run a offense. There is a big difference.

Give him a little time. He was running the offense for much of the first two-thirds of the season, then all of a sudden he is working with four new players.

He is off to another rough shooting night, though. It would be good to see him heat up. Put a little more arch on those shots!
