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

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Literally the only thing the Kings couldn't let happen.

Wembanyama is holding Sabonis on the ground. No call. I give up. This game sucks.

 

[fansinceday1]

So wembenyama is one of those new guys who can do whatever the hell he wants to do?

 

[Krunker]

Refs suck

 

[Capt. Factorial]

So wembenyama is one of those new guys who can do whatever the hell he wants to do?

Yes

 

[Tetsujin]

Why even bother watching the game if the refs are just going to set up their preferred result anyways?

 

[captain bill]

Horrible ending. Idk if I should be happy I spent most of the game watching the Niners get shellacked.

 

[SacTownKid]

But he was helping because we had a 6’2” guy on his man

It doesn't matter. If you switch you switch. Pressure any pass. Or guard that pick and roll with a bigger player. The idea was clearly not to really switch, it was to bait the Spurs into putting the ball down low so the Kings could dig down on Wemby. The 2 plays prior Domas came up, moved his feet, and forced the pass from the guard.

That was decided before he was even drafted.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

The inconsistency in singular games now is off the charts.

It’s really unbearable. Especially if you watch Euroleague and/or Eurobasket and Eurobasket qualifiers. It’s waayyy better to watch even if the talent level is worse.

 

[Sam0ah]

Does NBA care about its fans at all??? Or is just a few markets.. It is getting really old of watching games where the refs stack the deck against the Kings every night.

 

[hrdboild]

But he was helping because we had a 6’2” guy on his man

And his man is 7'2".

 

[NewArena]

San Antonio got 10 FTA in the first half of this quarter to take their first lead since the early 1st quarter. I don't even know what else we can do if the league is determined to shave points against us.

10? Smh

 

[Jdbraver137]

Hate to say it but we have to set Fox free and see if we can get some 1st rounders back.

 

[Tetsujin]

Literally the only thing the Kings couldn't let happen.

To be fair, I don’t think anyone was planning on having Wemby armbar Domas out of a rebound with all three refs apparently turning a blind eye.

 

[nikefutbolero]

Brown and Monte both gone

 

[Tizzy Flip]

45-92. That is Spurs 3pt shooting against us in 2 games this season. Shame on the coaching staff for letting that happen again

 

[Sherds]

This season has broken me...

 

[coolhandluke]

Spurs shot 51% from the field and 50% from three (a whopping 23 threes). So much for defensive adjustments.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

You can keep blaming the refs, or you can actually control something like changing your defense. I know what I would do

 

[Sam0ah]

Brown and Monte both gone

Dunno about Monte, but I always wanted Christie.. I never wanted Brown.

 

[The_Jamal]

You can keep blaming the refs, or you can actually control something like changing your defense. I know what I would do

As always, you can do both.

 

[Elektrik]

Hate to say it but we have to set Fox free and see if we can get some 1st rounders back.

Whoah ….Not ready to go there.

 

[Sam0ah]

Whoah ….Not ready to go there.

I agree, lets just get rid of Brown instead.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

As always, you can do both.

You can only control one. As you have laid out, they were killed from 3 again. Something needs to happen with this coaching staff

 

[Jdbraver137]

As always, you can do both.

The refs aren’t shooting 50% from 3.

 

[hrdboild]

Did you watch the game? The Kings were in control the whole game until the officials just said "nope, from now on everything that we've been allowing you to do for the first 3 quarters is a foul call". There is no adjusting to that. It's just a massive brick wall that we have no way around.

 

[Jdbraver137]

I agree, lets just get rid of Brown instead.

Brown isn’t playing defense. This is on Monte.

 

[The_Jamal]

The refs aren’t shooting 50% from 3.

I can complain about crap reffing every game and I can complain about our reluctance to change anything with our 3pt defense.

See? Easy.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Well there it is. This is rock bottom for me as a fan given the expectations. We have played the Spurs twice and given up their franchise record tying 3 point total and now their new record 3 point total. We have changed the starting lineup several times. We had our core guys all playing. We found our new back up big /wing. We shot respectable from 3. We still lost, AT HOME. We have to fix the defense NOW!!!!

me personally, this has turned from bringing me the greatest joy to my life other than friends family and career to a traumatizing experience.

I’m broken and done watching games until they fix this problem.
