[Game] 12/82: Kings vs. Hawks 12 NOV 2025, 7pm PT/10pm ET

[kingdivac]

We’re 11 games in. No matter how bad it’s looked, none of this is on Scott Perry.

How bad it looks certainly matters.....

 

[NewArena]

This reminds me of the year before Haliburton was moved and that team was getting cooked and obliterated each night. Just awful and depressing

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Nique and Devin have 4 fouls and Keon has three

Let them use all their fouls

Well, let’s give them a chance to fix it. Trade season doesn’t begin until a month from now lol what the hell is he supposed to do

 

[Tetsujin]

Let them use all their fouls

Sure but that just means they’d foul out and the vets would be back in for most of the 4th quarter anyways

Who was the last coach to quit? “I resign……..”

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Sure but that just means they’d foul out and the vets would be back in for most of the 4th quarter anyways

Why does it automatically mean that they would foul out?

 

[kingdivac]

0-11 would be better than where we are at now. He should have had the foresight to realize the team he inherited had no shot of being a winning team....he could have made moves in the offseason to start the rebuild and get better value for some of our veterans.

Crop residue burning......

Yeah, hopefully the 4th quarter is all young guys. DC staggered it well enough.

 

[kingdivac]

I want the Hawks to win by 50.

Turned if off awhile ago.......

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Boo birds out in Sac

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

I could probably run a team consisting of the 10 fictional mice mentioned in the poll onto the court that would fare much better than whatever the heck this garbage is.

 

[hrdboild]

Welp.

 

[Tetsujin]

Why does it automatically mean that they would foul out?

Nique and Devin both had 4 fouls in 18 minutes. What gives you confidence that they would suddenly stop fouling?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Welp.

How many games do we need to see? It's usually more than 12 isn't it

 

[Krunker]

Oof, we bad

 

[Sam0ah]

Deebo really needs to come off the bench.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Part of developing players is letting them learn how to play without fouling. If you never give them that chance every time they get 3 or 4 fouls, you never know

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Friday is (apparently):

National Seat Belt Day
National Family PJ Day
National Spicy Guacamole Day
and
National Pickle Day

Not at all sure where Friday's poll is going to go, but it may well outshine the game

 

[kingdivac]

Wow, this is just hideous. Honestly at this point, Dougie might as well just pull all the vets and run to the youth lineup and let them learn.

I think some folks including myself are saying to plan on that going into each game based on the schlop we're observing......this isn't the Thunder - or Nuggies its the Atlanta Hawks - flip the mins between the starters and bench.....keep the starters for window dressing to make them feel more important.....amazing how soft coaches are in basketball compared to sports with more players on the field.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Well, at least Dougie finally saw the light and as the Youngin’s out there to learn

 

[Rob-The-Great]

This is what happends when you spend zero time implementing a actual Offense.

Now we got washed up stars uninterested and young guys who dont know how to set themselves up. Its litteraly miss and team off running.

Pathetic display of basketball

 

[HndsmCelt]

All the kids are in foul trouble

It would appear the current strategy is just let them fill out and then see if you can find document buckets at the end of the bench or Dario to finish out the game

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Keon is wicked with some of his steals

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Why not, at this point?

 

[kingdivac]

When you sit back and look at the roster, the coach, the owner, and their lack of direction, as someone who stuck it out through the late 80’s and all of the 90’s when I thought the kings were at their worst, I gotta say that this year and last year are absolutely dreary. There is no light at the end of this tunnel at all. Even if the FO decided to change direction could they? I don’t think so. At this point this is my method of doom scrolling, watching the kings. It’s straight entertaining to see just how bad they can be.

They'd cerrainly be relegated in the premiership......

 

[kingdivac]

All the kids are in foul trouble

Who cares!

 

[Makaveli]

I was about to turn it off for the first time in 27 years. But I feel like I owe it to the young guys to watch. Keon diving to the floor Clifford hustling.

 

[gunks]

Deebo really needs to come off the bench.

Yeah for some Eastern conference playoff team

 

[Capt. Factorial]

There's -40! (-41, even!)
