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

"Good transition defense"...you know, except for the layup we gave up

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Can’t wait for all the hot take artists to walk back their Domas takes when he gets a ring running hand off actions with Steph

It's almost always about fit with many players

 

[SacTownKid]

Hard to figure other than the GM who drafted him was fired and he never got to play a game for the previous head coach. You'd think he would be the type of player Doug Christie loves but it's hard to get into games when you have no NBA track record and your team has 6 SGs.

Especially when so much of basketball is based around advanced stats. Carter his a pure +/- player on the good side.

 

[BuddyBuckets]

The starters are so bad lol. I want to see Doug grow some balls and bench sabonis/demar/ rest of the game.

 

[SacTownKid]

Can’t wait for all the hot take artists to walk back their Domas takes when he gets a ring running hand off actions with Steph 30 minutes a night.

Tonight Domas will be dreaming about it.

Thing about old dudes is that they generally are not great on the second nights of back to backs.

Doug is coming for you!

 

[Tetsujin]

Nique iso paint look. Already getting the Deebo role in the offense.

Amen Buddy, GoNads, GoKings, or GrowNads, GrowKings

Not quite sure what you mean by this but Carter is a -3.3 in BPM for his career at this point (and worse so far this year than last).

 

[SacTownKid]

Especially when the air is getting thick in the locker room. Have yet to see a coach be able to take the reality of tides starting to turn and get players with this kind of experience to tune that out and go to work like normal. They can eventually get into the games but yeah, it's hard to get the energy flowing from the start of games.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Porzingas looks like he's throwing jab punch on his deep ball

Pretty hard job huh

Last season I think towards the end he was a +30 something. There was an X post on it. This season? It really hasn't even been a season for him.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings missing everything.

 

[hrdboild]

Was that Carter who pitched it out to Ellis for the tightly defended 26 foot heave? He did him dirty.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Last season I think towards the end he was a +39 at one point I believe. This season? It really hasn't even been a season for him.

Last season he was -3.2 BPM for the season, but maybe he had a hot stretch at some point.

Last season wasn't really a season for him either

Yup. Was stuck in the lane but given the clock needed to force something up.

 

[Caccia]

Think we have to face reality that Doug is overmatched for this job.

I have been watching basketball my whole life. This is not a well-coached team.

 

[AaronPDX]

Outside of Keon, Nique and Murray? I don't want to see any of these guys anymore.

 

[coolhandluke]

Jeez.. how tough is it to run a fastbreak?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Shroder actually looks a fit, when he's out there with quick defenders

 

[SacTownKid]

Last season he was -3.2 BPM for the season, but maybe he had a hot stretch at some point.

Yeah it was down the stretch when the Kings made their push towards the glorious play in.

 

[NewArena]

Clifford was definitely fouled on that drive. I don’t understand why you have to have a big name to get basic respect in this league.

Anyway, Sabonis is still grabbing at his side and I’m not sure why they keep bringing him back. Sit him down for a few weeks

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings only scored 12 points in the second quarter

 

[See_Hanks]

yikes... not even a 30 win team at this rate. Fire Christie and blow this crappy team up.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Geez, another 20 point half deficit....and at home against Atlanta. Going to be another season with an awful home record

 

[SacTownKid]

Kings only scored 12 points in the second quarter

I'm pretty surprised at the Hawks TBH. They have great chemistry on both ends.

Because the thing about Domas is that he’s psychologically committed to playing through as many injuries as he can because of his dad’s history.
