16/82: Kings @ Clippers 22 NOV 2024, 7:30pm PT/10:30pm ET

I actually like Katie. I met her 3 years ago at a restaurant and she was such a sweetheart. We had a real long conversation and she was very conversational and very kind.

I like Kate a lot! She’s knowledgeable, has played the game, and keeps it real.

damn 29 points at halftime. Is that our lowest point total this season in the first half?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Easily, the worst so far this year. There's no method to the madness.

Lowest scoring half since 2014

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Is that the worst we have ever played?

Let me put it this way: the game where the Kings got outscored 40-4 in the first quarter by the gd lakers, y'all still managed to put up 35 in the half.

 

[The_Jamal]

Keegan, Huerter, Domas and Fox are a combined 3-24. That seems not good

No effort, no urgency, nothing. I think pretty easily the worst half the Kings have played under the Brown era. After 3 days off no less. We were in a significant talent deficiency without DDR and Domas, but at least those dudes were out there competing and trying. This freaking blows.

Might be the worst through 10 years. Think the broadcast said the last time the kings scored under 30 at half was in 2014.

 

[coolhandluke]

The Clips shooting like crap and leading by 22.

To me Lyles has been much better than Domas. Domas seemed to be forcing everything too much.

 

[Spike]

Welp. Not quite the half we hoped for.

 

[sactowndog]

Ok I've seen enough, who's starting the "tank for Flagg" thread

or at least tank to keep the pick. If this team fails to make the playoffs and loses their pick Monte is what I think he is.

What is he?

Maybe, but that's also because the other 4 guys are just sleep-walking on the floor. He's trying to make something happen, get some damn life in this team.

Too often the case man. Fox and Co will take a game off and leave Domas on an island to try and create the momentum/energy.

 

[Shaqfuey]

This team frustrates me in their stupidity. When will they touch the paint? When will they go for higher% 2s instead of hurried 3s? Terrible coaching. Terrible leadership on the floor. This team should be better.

Yes, there was a card shown that last time Kings scored less than 30 in half was in 2014 facing the Warriors (27 back then)

Honestly, I prefer to get beaten this badly than just a few points. It is a wake-up call to the delusional FO to do something tangible before the trade deadline or be mediocre till Fox and Domas are past their prime.

 

[SacTownKid]

The adjustment in the 3rd quarter is going to be interesting. Credit to the Clipps, they locked that paint down and played really good defense. The Kings got a little spooked by it and they just plain collapsed. It seems like every time Fox wins a player of the week award he comes out right after and starts the game off deferring.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Keep in mind the team is 1 game over .500 playing the worst schedule in the league to date and it’s not close

https://powerrankingsguru.com/nba/strength-of-schedule.php

it’s possible we are just a bad team.

A bad team would actually be below .500. The fact that there are only three teams with winning records in the top half of that strength of schedule chart, according to your site, suggests that there may be some context missing from the equation.

something tangible.. well we did trade for derozan.

i meen what does monte expect with one wing, 10 guards and no bigs on the team. the core is majorly flawed and the coaching looks terrible. the offense is random isos and bail out off balance threes from failed drives.

 

[Elektrik]

I feel sorry for the fans that actually paid to watch this game. This team is not showing any heart, desire, or energy. Big part of that is coaching. I hope to see some improvement in the second half because this game is unwatchable.

 

[megapoxy]

In theory the margin of the win matters (NBA Cup) but I doubt in case of a defeat there are chances to make it to the next round. Still this is a weird group, Portland beat Minnesota that beat us.

If we do miss the playoffs, I wonder who Vivek is going to impulsively fire.

Yes, I know this is a very premature hypothetical. But we just had a 27 point half so this is where my mind is wandering.

Fox is probably gone if we dont start winning. I could see him wanting out.

Lol, not how this works. You seem to have an understanding of betting, I'm not giving the same "price" as I was with 2 more weeks of information and us on a losing streak.

 

[DynaPamm]

Keegan’s offensive game is broken. I really don’t think it’s broken beyond repair, but this is concerning for a guy who was supposed to be a pillar of this team going forward.

And it’s not been just this game, honestly I’m thinking the last 4-5….

drastic

 

[KF8]

That would require trading murray. Not sure we're ready to give him up yet. Sure he's struggling, but it's still early.

 

[megapoxy]

The first team to do this the current season...ouch

This is likely going to be another season where whatever teams puts on the first or last run is the one left standing at 6-10.
