[Game] 23/82: Kings @ Memphis, 05 DEC 2024, 5 pm PT/8 pm ET

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kings had Fox, Sabonis and DeRozan all on the bench at once.

 

[Caccia]

Take care of the ball!

 

[The_Jamal]

Isaac just spun JJJ out of his shoes in the post. Meanwhile really not sure why Mike Brown has chosen today of all days to try not having at least one of our stars on the floor at all times.

Another "coaching rule" that's never made sense to me. Sure, Monk's got 2 fouls and you don't want him to pick up his 3rd.... but you're just fouling him out early by taking away this rotation from him.

 

[Tetsujin]

For a dude known for packing heat, Ja has not worked on his shooting lol

 

[The_Jamal]

IJ denying JJJ the post position there, kept him out of the play. Excellent.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Wait a minute, Jackson Jr. was trying to pass that!

 

[Tetsujin]

This lineup doing work defensively

 

[funkykingston]

Beautiful assist by Fox

 

[SacTownKid]

The Kings are playing stifling defense.

 

[Tetsujin]

Someone tell De’Aaron that Ja was talking crap about his mom

 

[Tetsujin]

MALIK

 

[The_Jamal]

IJ with his game mandated "I'm going to run the floor super hard and get a transition lob"

 

[Tetsujin]

De’Aaron the one guy in the league just as fast and explosive as Ja and actually cares about defense.

 

[dude12]

Fox is light years better than Morant defensively. Not even close

 

[Tetsujin]

DEFENSE

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

This lineup doing work defensively

Fox and Murray have Morant in hell.

 

[The_Jamal]

Keegan is freaking hoopin right now on defense, good lord man.

 

[The_Jamal]

Refs save all their illegal screen calls for Domas. Such BS

 

[Tetsujin]

kings in such a rhythm that DeMar took and hit a catch and shoot three lol

 

[dude12]

Starting unit is rolling

 

[funkykingston]

Good to see Murray hit that three

 

[The_Jamal]

Kings are flowing right now. We look like the team playing at a different speed.

And thanks goodness Keegan hit that.

 

[The_Jamal]

I hope nobody boos me for point this out, but Huerter is playing awesome defense too. Super active hands.

 

[Tetsujin]

lol DeMar giving Jaylen an absolute education

 

[funkykingston]

Keegan with the block on Ja!

 

[funkykingston]

On replay it looks like Morant was trying to pass that. Still, great play by Murray

 

[The_Jamal]

Keegan playing like a man possessed on D

 

[funkykingston]

Grizzlies upset with the shot clock issues, but I think this could hurt the Kings more since they've been rolling.

 

[The_Jamal]

Why is it every time we're in a groove, there's some stupid tech malfunction???

 

[hrdboild]

I hope nobody boos me for point this out, but Huerter is playing awesome defense too. Super active hands.

It's true, and he's been doing that all year. Like Keegan, Kev's defensive intensity has shown up night after night even when his shooting is off. And I assume the shooting will come back. Guys go through slumps, they don't just lose the ability to shoot.
