Why are we playing starters now?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Murray might dip below 20% after tonight

 

[Kingz19]

I’ll be in attendance on Sunday for the Kings-Spurs

Atleast I know for sure Keegan will have a better game. We’ll see if that means a good game

 

[iowamcnabb]

Give me Orlando, Colby and IJ for a 4 minute stretch

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Chauncey like, "Why would I wait until they scored two baskets in a row?"

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Really crazy to say but we simply cannot guard Avidja. We’re making him look like Luka

He looks incredible.

 

[sauce-26]

Is Keegan ever gonna make another three?

 

[SacTownKid]

Not enough time to run these long option sets. Just starting launching the first good look you get. The clock is the enemy now.

 

[Sherds]

I'm from Australia, been a Kings fan for 25 years.... I've read the game logs here for many of those but never felt the urge to create an account and contribute. Tonight I do.... I just can't defend Murray anymore... He isn't that guy.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Even the Coach's Son™ got on the scoreboard before Murray.

 

[SacTownKid]

This is another thing Brown doesn't do but he might want to incorporate. Mass sub these guys earlier when they aren't doing what he wants. Calling TO's and going over to explain to someone doesn't cut it. Sometimes you have to send a message. It might wake them up.

On the bright side, this is the last game the Kings play in November this year. He's dug himself quite a hole with his shooting but he's bounced back before.

 

[NewArena]

I'm sure we'll beat another good team and lose another one of these. Hard to get excited for the good wins if this what we're going to get smh i will never understand the mentality of this team and i need to take a break for a few games.

We are luckily out of November, historically he has played well in December. Hopefully that trend continues but he has no confidence so who knows

 

[Kingz19]

Maybe that’s the garbage time three that turns it around

Nope, brick. Should’ve immediately fouled and pulled him after he hit that three

 

[Jones2006]

Alex Len should be in the rotation, especially with Lyles out. It's been laughable him being in & out of the rotation for multiple years now AND it remains comical.

 

[coolhandluke]

FAFO for the Kings. Getting blown out by the young Blazers.

This is a .500 team at best, until they prove otherwise

 

[coolhandluke]

This is such a Jekyll and Hyde team. Would settle for .500 right now.

 

[dude12]

Just a crapty loss.

If Brown is going to play his big as far off pick and roll as he has this season then not having a big like Len in there somewhere is almost criminal. If he's too slow, take him out. That simple.

 

[Caccia]

I missed all but the last five minutes of this one. Fortunately. Twenty turnovers will kind of take the air out of the tires.

Keegan Murray, with 3 points, outscored his brother by 1.

You just have to wonder what will happen if they don't even reach 46 wins. They have the toughest remaining schedule

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kings now 1-4 since I started crafting the [Game] threads; someone else might ought to do it on Sunday.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Well the only positives for me are Monk is back and IJ with more experience has a chance to be our future back up 4.

Keon and Keegan were hot garbage. Domas still turning the ball over at an alarming rate. more injuries, good chance kev is out at least a couple weeks. Ayton is one of the worst contracts in the NBA but he has no problem scoring at will against Domas. The turnovers were bad although some were the lack of cohesion due to new guys variety

I’m curious, how do y’all handle losses like this? Do you just turn off the tv and let it go? Does it linger? Slightly irritated but it doesn’t ruin your night? It ruins your night and you feel good next day? I’m always curious how other fans fan

For anyone that survived that Lakers playoff series back in the day, this ain't **** hahaha. It was after that series I accepted the fact that the NBA is about money and entertainment far before sport. I'd take a team that has talent, like this. A chance every night, like this, over those years of sitting in the middle without even having any real legit star talent. There's that at least.

Ayton seems to be a bad matchup for Sabonis, so the Blazers are a team that Len should play against

Try to look for the statements after the match for what MB and the players thought went wrong and we lost the match. But that's probably making things worse because it's the same thing over and over again.
Also trying to explain to my daughters (age 6 and 3) why we lost again, now that they are starting to learn a thing or two how basketball is (it is morning here, it's not that they stay up at night watching this).

I think it's good i don't have to "sleep on this" but ok as all defeats come together lately (that was 5th in last 6 matches?) I become immune lately.

 

[coolhandluke]

Billups flat out coached better with lesser talent. Slowed down our offense with good pressure defense, which reduced our shot quality as we had less time to pick holes in their defense and get good shots. Spread out the floor on offense, got that drive and kick game going and just shredded our defense and we couldn't buy a stop thereafter.

Add in our 20 turnovers, mostly unforced, giving extra possessions to the Blazers and here we are.
