If the Kings are smart, they should have quickly inbound the ball instead of waiting a bit of time before Memphis can call time out to challenge the play. It's little things like that that can cost the game.

Yes, jokic is master at that.

Refs gotta give you the ball first. Lots of times refs will hold the ball to give a team a little bit of time to make a decision

We have two of the most clutch guys in the league and they executed super poorly that quarter. Bad loss, you should have won that, especially when Morant was that bad.

What did Brown draw for that last play, any idea?

would have rather them go for 2 then force a bad 3
makes me come back to this question yet again. if our defense sucks anyways why not give more shots to McDemott?
3pt shooting on this team is atrocious. shots will not start to fall eventually... they have not fallen all year. nothing is going to change that when you have mentally soft players who can't get out of their own heads about their 3pt shooting. jeez.

The disturbing part, is that Huerter was about to take the last shot, had someone not jumped out to him

To be fair, the entire western conference is also in the midsts of a knockdown drag out war. Kings really are just a brief winning streak away from getting right back in things.

Kings took 18 more shots than Memphis. No real FT gap. They still managed to lose.
Kings can’t shoot. That’s why they lost.
Getting real tired of Huerter and Keegan not putting the ball in the basket from three. And so is the Kings season. It pretty much comes down to those two laying brick after brick. As somebody mentioned earlier. The Kings season would be way different if these two could make a damn shot.
They are both getting the best looks of their career too. In case people think the presence of DeRozan is cramping their style.
These two have nothing but open shots especially compared to last season and they just aren’t getting the job done

He probably should have taken thought shot though if we’re being fair. It was the best look we had for what was drawn up.

Yeah, the next thing to figure out is how they can get Fox, Domas, DDR, and Monk going at the same time. In time I think it is going to be a thing where you can stagger them and run that Domas/Monk pick and roll as your offense with DDR and Fox off the floor. I'm not sure pushing Fox back to more off the ball is going to end up better than it has since day 1 when Vlade signed vet PG's and pushed him out of position.
Strange game. We absolutely bodied Ja, which you'd think would lead to an easy win here, but couldn't contain their bench at all. Just worked us over.
And while we finally only allowed 34% from 3... we still were -5 3PM and shot 22% ourselves. It's just so difficult to play well enough to overcome that game in and game out.
1-20 from 3 for Fox/Keegan/Huerter is unacceptable. Shocking this game remained close.

I have a hard time endorsing this strategy when the Kings go 1 for 13 from three in a single quarter like they did in the 3rd tonight. That 8-0 run to finish the third which made this a game again was all 2pt shots and free throws. Giving away 12 possessions in a quarter is just self-inflicted punishment. I wish they would pull themselves out of these 3pt shooting death spirals sooner by trying something else. Anything else.

You have any numbers to back that up or are we just talking anecdotally here?
We will if Murray and huerter are shooting 25% from 3

That was on the refs. I litteraly saw him hesitate to give fox ball so that Memphis could challenge

and Monk shoots a forced air ball, with 6 seconds on the clock. That's just low iQ play
Huh? Fox took 23 shots. I wouldn't call that "moving him off ball"

I agree... And the difference is a little in the spur of the moment decision making as well. I think if deebo or fox had that wide open floater monk ended up getting with 8 sec left, what was said the the huddle might have went out the window

This whole season has come down to shooting poorly from three. You can’t be competitive in the NBA unless you can shoot average or better from 3 (unless you have a great defense, which the Kings don’t). Keegan and Huerter simply need to shoot better. Other guys do too, but they’re the main culprits.
