[Game] 17/82: Kings vs. Nets 24 NOV 2024, 6pm PT/9pm ET

[KF8]

Well u can most likely count tomorrow as another loss vs the Thunder. Things could get ugly fast.

 

[coolhandluke]

Kings playing so dumb. They deserve to lose.

Play with a purpose. Dammit.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

terrible loss. Something has to change. not working

 

[The_Jamal]

Those mass injuries really just took the sails out of the season. We look all out of sorts on offense man. Bummer.

But I'll continue to beat a dead horse. Not going to win games with a -10 3PM gap.

 

[Sam0ah]

Congrats, Jordi

Too early!

 

[Tizzy Flip]

I really hope Brown reevaluates what he’s doing. There are lineup and scheme issues that are within his span of control. Not fun when you ex assistant is doing a whole lot more with less

 

[iowamcnabb]

10 less made 3s is a joke, good chance they lose by 20 tomorrow. This version of the kings has finally broke me.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kings fourth quarter shot chart is bloody as hell.

0-for-14 outside of three feet in the quarter.

 

[thingfish]

Wtf has happened to this team? This is going to be a long season.

 

[SLAB]

Still won’t jump off the ledge until we still suck after Monk gets back.

Brown needs to change some things in his defensive scheme.

 

[iowamcnabb]

44-9 bench points

 

[Kingz19]

4-5 at home

What's breaking (broken?) me is this Kings team far and away is playing the best basketball we've seen in EVERY single other area... but we don't defend the 3 and we don't make 3's. It's a coaching issue, not a player/skill issue. Fix the damn scheme.

I'm too dumb to know the X's and O's of how to fix the 3pt defense, but I simply cannot fathom how our staff goes and studies film, looks at the numbers and is just fine getting blown out at the 3pt line on a nightly basis. And no changes made.

The only thing one can hope is that the adjustment in the 2nd half defensively and playing up into the ball handler is something they maybe look to do earlier in games. Like before they get down big. The Kings gave up open 3's still, but they at least made the Nets move. DeRozan just went flat out ice cold at the worst possible time.

yeh thats a good position to take.

 

[NewArena]

Injuries seemed to have really set DeRozan back. He doesn’t look the same right now and it’s not helping

edit: it’s thrown everyone off outside of Fox

 

[coolhandluke]

Another game lost due to self-inflicted wounds.

 

[megapoxy]

Cannot believe Brown didn't use the challenge there.

He burned it in the first half, Sabonis urged him to challenge one call, then changed his mind but was too late.

 

[gunks]

Good lord that 4th.

 

[chief bromden]

The team looks lost out there.

 

[hrdboild]

Can't possibly think getting smoked at the 3pt line every game is good. 14th DEF Rtg or not

Let me put it this way, if all you knew was the guys on this roster and that we are currently ranked 13th in defensive rating (I guess we've moved up a spot since the last time I checked) wouldn't you say that the scheme seems to be working?

As for the Coach being an idiot or incapable of playing to his personnel... in the 3 years of Mike Brown this team has ranked 25th, 14th, and now 13th (so far) in defensive rating after spending the previous 16 years ranked no higher than 20. I don't like the open 3's either, but the numbers suggest our 3pt defense hasn't been the absolute disaster that we think it is.

 

[NewArena]

I’m bummed but i haven’t given up.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

keon was 3-3 from deep

and fix the big early deficits. Pretty hard to win when you have to “get it down to 10 by half” every night

 

[coolhandluke]

Well, Fox defers, Kings lose.

That was infuriating, to say the least.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Still won’t jump off the ledge until we still suck after Monk gets back.

A body's not dead until they're warm and dead. Miranda Bailey taught me that.

 

[forza kings]

A lot of bad substitution decisions tonight. Just when the team got some momentum and went ahead in fourth, suddenly 3 substitutions that killed that momentum.

What in the zen? I don't like this timeline one bit.

 

[KF8]

Murray and Huerter just forgot how to shoot from 3 in November. If they shot at minimum 32% or so kings might have won half the games that they loss.

Huerter - 25%
Murray - 29%

It was obvious at that time. No need to wait for hindsight if you had foresight.
