Kings are a good team, just not good enough to give their opponents a 20-point head start. Their first quarter preparation has to be addressed.Once again, I’m impressed with the kings energy and sense of late in the fourth quarter when they’re down.

blue print to beating the kings. Clog paint let them kill themselves shooting 3 pointers.
Key to next game; Don't spot the other team 23 points in the 1H
This is a sign of what the team is now. They have to understand that they are a team that can't likely afford to get down 20+. They aren't a super explosive team anymore. The good news is they have the iso chops to not have to rely on gamble 3's to get going which is why they were down early in the first place. They're kind of stuck in between the team they were year 1, and the team they need to be in year 3.
Maybe don't start Heurter and play him so much.Key to next game; Don't spot the other team 23 points in the 1H
Hell, I'd forgotten about the travel: the Kings have played three games in four nights three times this month and just kicked off their fourth such stretch. Ain't no way that SOS takes that into account.... And I don't think our travel schedule has been easy at all, with 2 road B-B, an incredibly stupid ATL-TOR B-B and then back to Miami. Pretty sure we had a 5in 7 thrown in there too.
I probably should just turn these games off when there's 3 minutes left and we're down by 10. It's pretty much a guarantee that every shot from then on will be a 3pt attempt and I just can't abide that as an offensive concept. It feels to me like we're playing Pop-A-Shot out there not actual basketball.
"standout" stats here:
Huerter: 0-5, 0-4 from 3. Ouch.
DDR: 0-5 from 3, 4-8 FTA. Ouch.
Keon and Lyles combined 1-7 shooting for 4 points. Ouch
100% this. Take the open two, chip the lead down.I probably should just turn these games off when there's 3 minutes left and we're down by 10.

It's weird. What is so different about this team's offensive capability as compared to the 22/23 team.
I would argue the biggest difference is Murray and Huerter not hitting shots
That’s 3 straight games with huge deficits. The other two we explained away due to injuries, now what?
Exactly how good do you think the Kings are supposed to be?Kings are so massively underachieving, it's frustrating.
Yeah, the difference is some teams really figured out that DHO. The Pels just flat out took it away in the play in last year. Some teams do, some don't. The encouraging thing is the Kings know this. Hence the directive on more draw and kick where spot 3's are as much the goal as anything. The Kings will eventually find some groove but until then they have to keep a very controlled offense. They can't afford to take bad shots. Not like they once could and even that said, the ceiling was limited to first round fodder at it's peak.
Sorry, the Kings shouldn't be playing for moral wins at this point. 59-53 is abysmal playing a third string Clips team.59-53 in the second half is better and the clips piled on a few points at the end to make it closer but we can’t keep digging ourselves out of big holes
