[Game] 21/82: Kings vs. Spurs 01 DEC 2024, 6pm PT/9pm ET

[Capt. Factorial]

My eyes are bleeding

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Finally got San Antonio to miss a few, and proceeded to start bricking all their shots.

 

[Tetsujin]

This game is uuuuugly

 

[iowamcnabb]

No ball movement

 

[Tetsujin]

Also played so fast that Wemby was absolutely gassed and had to leave the floor

 

[megapoxy]

This game is uuuuugly

Kayte is loving it, no surprise there!

 

[Tetsujin]

DDR slowing down for an iso possession which I’m okay with considering how unwieldy the quarter has been

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Murray just standing there looking at a 3 pt shooter. odd

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kayte is loving it, no surprise there!

I mean, aside from the three-point spamming, so am I.

 

[Tetsujin]

Only took four years but the Spurs passing on Tyrese for Vassell finally looks like a good decision

 

[SacTownKid]

That's the second time Keegan has left the 3 point line. I wonder if his directive was to switch down all night.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Mark Jones is leaning towards the Kings being "good" but he somehow doesn't realize we are the Oprah Winfrey of three-point defense in a three-point league

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

He's an all time elite scorer with that. Why wouldn't we be OK with it

 

[iowamcnabb]

21 point 3 pt deficit before halftime. Nice!

 

[SacTownKid]

He's an all time elite scorer with that. Why wouldn't we be OK with it

Especially when the offense is getting erratic like this.

 

[est.1999]

Both my teams absolutely suck this season

 

[Tetsujin]

Elite post defender Fox strikes again

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Sabonis has great arc on his free throws now. Been about a two season process. Much improved over his first full season with us

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Miss four bunnies in a row, give up a three. I've seen this goddamn movie before.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

18 pts in the first half from DeRozan, after 19 pts in the first half of his last game, both coming off the lower back injury.

the dude is one hell of a scorer

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

9-of-14 from three in the quarter, including that half-court heave. How many times are we going to see this before Brown switches up his defense?

 

[SacTownKid]

The offense is back at least. That's a good sign.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

The offense is back at least. That's a good sign.

Gotta be able to hang your hat on something. We know it's definitely not the perimeter defense

 

[luckytkp]

its the same story on the 3pt shooting. We shoot close to 30% and the other team is close to 50%

 

[SacTownKid]

9-of-14 from three in the quarter, including that half-court heave. How many times are we going to see this before Brown switches up his defense?

The Kings did play a little more pressure but that might be because Wemby just stands outside the 3 point line all night anyway. There was definitely miscommunication on some switches and who was staying up and who was heading down low.

 

[iowamcnabb]

22 is the Spurs franchise record. They have 13 at half. Give me back the bad free throw shooting from yesteryear and take away these stupid threes!

It shouldn't have even taken this long to adjust. Even if the Kings' shooting comes around, you just have to defend the 3 point line to consistently win in today's NBA.

 

[SacTownKid]

Gosh, Webmanyama looked like he was half ***ing the whole first half and is still on pace for a 30-20 night. Keegan and Jones looked like the only guys capable of making it hard for him.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

9-of-14 from three in the quarter, including that half-court heave. How many times are we going to see this before Brown switches up his defense?

There is no evidence to suggest the defensive issues will be resolved

 

[funkykingston]

On the upside, Isaac Jones continues to be look great.
