I agree. But on the other hand, Domas has been looking a bit clumsy so far...

On offense looks likes he's trying a bit too hard, clumsy on D

 

[KainLear]

They tried speeding up his release so he could get more attempts up. No point in more attempts if he’s not making them. Go back to the slow release, efficient 2 attempts per game.

MIght be too early to tell yet. Mikal Bridges beginning of last season also had a weirdly altered shots but he eventually got used to it. Obviously volume is different between those two and all...

 

[kingdivac]

Good play Herr Schoder

 

[iowamcnabb]

I despise white mamba

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Now THAT is total bullcrap

That’s a good point. Hopefully he just needs more reps. Maybe they re-evaluate after 15-20 games.

Got caught with his hand in the cookie jar... unfortunately.

 

[kingdivac]

Kings flat-footed on defense

 

[dude12]

Dumb fouls by us

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Somebody destroyed his shot. He simply just wrist flicks and it get no arc. They need to fire the person that taught him that.

A faster release is good in theory,.....but only if you can maintain your good %

I thought they were going to stop calling the rip-through. It wasn't even a natural shooting motion, it was just an attempt to draw a foul.

 

[kingdivac]

Kings are out of position 80% of the sets on

I thought they were going to stop calling the rip-through. It wasn't even a natural shooting motion, it was just an attempt to draw a foul.

That sounds logical but up to the referees discretion apparently

 

[kingdivac]

Kings are ball watching every set down on defense.....not working hard enough

 

[The_Jamal]

Cardwell/Eubanks? The ****?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Jones with one of the shorter stints in NBA history

 

[KainLear]

They were also supposed to call flopping.

* shrugs *

 

[TheMobb]

Did something happen to IJ?

 

[The_Jamal]

yeaaaa, this is real bad. Not a whole lot making sense right now

 

[iowamcnabb]

Hot garbage

 

[kingdivac]

This is energy level - Kings are not bringing it defensively......Cardwell even looking somewhat indifferent

 

[SacTownKid]

They'll wake up, but this isn't a gap year, this is killing time.

 

[KainLear]

Did something happen to IJ?

No report on any injury. Branden Nunes reported that they changed the starting lineup. Maybe just Doug trying out different lineup...

 

[HndsmCelt]

If the kings are gonna continue to play undersized at both forward positions. They’re gonna have to start picking up the offense at the inbound. Letting them come into a set offense in the half court is suicide.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Cardwell/Eubanks? The ****?

I thought Christie was going to be a higher iQ head coach,....but I have no idea what he is doing half the time

 

[SacTownKid]

Did something happen to IJ?

Eubanks was getting destroyed so Christie had to send a message. Jones died for the defenses sins.

 

[LoungeLizard]

As soon as they announced Luka wasn’t playing, this is exactly I expected this one to go. SMH

 

[iowamcnabb]

11-14 from the field and 9-10 from the line for the lakers

 

[dude12]

Getting outplayed…..I’m going to predict that Carter gets time based on bringing energy at some point

That's really it. The success of this season hinging on the effort of the team. For they are already undersized against most teams in the league, they need to hustle or Doug's scheme won't work.

Nah, Westbrook will just play 35.
