[Game] 73/82: Kings vs. Trail Blazers 27 MAR 2025, 7pm PT/10pm ET

Why the hell can't Murray get any respect man. Give him the ball!

 

[SacTownKid]

Zach kind of taking the lead over DeMar and switching up that 1A, 1B role has to be the way moving forward. Aggressive Zach is it.

Derozen shouldn't be a 1 anything. He had his time. He can be a 1a only on taking the last shot. Other than that pass the ball to Murray and Lavine.

I don't care about these iso fouls. They go away at the worst times, while the rest of the team gets cold as ice sitting there waiting

 

[Caccia]

Another good quarter. Two more to go. It turns out that the Kings can compete if they score points.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

I wanted to trade down and grab sharp instead of Murray I'll be the first to admit. I still don't know if I was wrong. I know I wasn't right, but was I wrong....

 

[The_Jamal]

So Keon starting, up 18 at half? Coincidence? (actually asking, how's that unit look)?

 

[megapoxy]

Has any other team this season shot so many three pointers against us at halftime?

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Kind of, Keon started the last 3 games so it's def not on him. But the team seems balanced and derozen isn't hogging the ball until the final quarter.

Now I'll say this about derozen. If you have a lead, he can slow walk you to victory most nights. A luxury to have

whoa, I missed the start of the game and didn’t realize that. Are things about to get juicy?

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Zach couldn’t have done this against the Thunder?

Portland isn’t OKc they have Camera that’s it in terms of defenders

 

[iowamcnabb]

Also, if they are actually making a change to the starters (and it’s not just some one off with Monk back) can the media not pepper Monk with questions about coming off the bench???? Just let it be, Matt George, Ham and JA. You too Tony

 

[Tetsujin]

And the second I switch to the A’s game, Soderstrom hits a homer to give them the lead. Sacramento winning today.

Like @Joshyjosh31 said, maybe look at him as the clutch guy. Save him up for the end stretch in tight games rather than the go to guy he's been the last 7 games or so.

I feel everyone has been on best behaviour. DeMar sharing the ball. Murray and LaVine being aggressive. Sabonis focused, aggressive*.

* Feels unfair to say Sabonis wouldn't be engaged...

Damn, I missed it. Too much sports tonight. Duke/arizona. Kings /blazers. A’s/mariners. Was watching bulls lakers.

I don’t think anything is going to top that Bulls/Lakers finish tonight so I think you made the right decision.

That finish was the perfect payback for
The lakers buzzer beater on the pacers last night.
LeBron was not happy tonight

I understand that this is what people in the industry call, "going out on a limb."

Lebron was guarding Pat Williams in that corner 3
Lebron gave away the ball after that Williams 3
Lebron was blocked by Vucevic and was late to come back in defense complaining to the ref that resulted in a Vuc 3, like 2 minutes before the end.
Stephen A. Smith will be happy after this.

I don't see anything Greek-American related in the match today btw but go Zach go!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Murray got off to a hot start, and then LaVine got going, and that was the end of Keegan Murray's offense for the evening.

 

[Caccia]

Portland's defense is nothing like that of the Thunder or Celtics.

I feel like we are reverting to iso ball. The only difference is Blazers are not very good so we are getting away with it. Murray hasn't consistently touched the ball since 1st quarter

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Exactly! My point exactly sir.

Hey, he shot that hot potato he was tossed at the end of the shot clock.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Devin Carter is available right?

 

[Rob-The-Great]

That was a terrible possession man! Come on. Swing the dam ball

 

[iowamcnabb]

that Zach and Bill dance could be a meme

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'm going to need Kris Murray to get a twist-out, or something.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Murray wasn't even expecting the pass there lol. Neither was I

 

[coolhandluke]

How could you mess up a lob to Zach, of all people?
