[Game] 27/82: Kings vs. Nuggets 16 DEC 2024 7pm PT/10pm ET

[Kingz19]

No, we’re not good with open layups Kayte

 

[Remi]

that was a scary moment

 

[NewArena]

Westbrook could have hurt Fox there. Wow. This halftime score is gonna be a miracle for us no matter what, but i hope we don’t give up an open 3.

 

[Tetsujin]

Denver playing dangerous right now. By which I mean they are actively trying to send someone home in an ambulance.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

These officials are a **** joke man. We’re already getting destroyed now we gotta play 5 on 8

This is a particularly inexperienced crew: the crew chief has nearly twice as much experience as the other two refs combined.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings inexplicably down 7 at halftime despite playing the entire first quarter like they’d never seen a game of basketball before.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

He’s not going to play in the second half if it’s his back

I fear it's a rib. Looked like he was grabbing his side

 

[HndsmCelt]

It’s a game now

 

[iowamcnabb]

It’s crazy how much bigger Joker is than Sabonis. Dude still holds his own, tough as nails that guy

 

[coolhandluke]

He’s not going to play in the second half if it’s his back

Didn't look good. He was insistent saying "Don't take me out". Dude is a warrior.

 

[Tetsujin]

I fear it's a rib. Looked like he was grabbing his side

It’s probably his entire body if we’re being honest. Dude hit the floor with the force of a big rig collision.

Yeah, clear sign of rust. The Kings finally start playing with some sort of consistency and then have that spotty tourney schedule, yay!

Really wish they would have reviewed that play for a flagrant

Possibly the most wild 1H we've seen in a long time and now the half-time show is some dude balancing a grill on his chin.

 

[PorchSurfin]

lol that is not true at all

Don't respond to me.

 

[Caccia]

Without Sabonis we're...up a creek without a paddle is one old phrase.

 

[Tetsujin]

On the plus side, if this is the McDermott we’re getting post tourney, that’s a lot of our bench scoring issues solved. Also Colby has carved out a nice slot in the rotation as a minute eating swing wing.

 

[hrdboild]

Can someone please tell Westbrook to stop lunging at people's knees before he seriously injures somebody like Pat Beverly did to him?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Monk, Sabonis, and Monk are this teams heart can never question those guys will to play

New law firm just dropped?

 

[Tetsujin]

Bah Gawd, it’s inexplicable Joker Stopper Alex Len

 

[Caccia]

Yeah, clear sign of rust. The Kings finally start playing with some sort of consistency and then have that spotty tourney schedule, yay!

Just what I feared. Then Mike Brown runs his practices so hard, we end up with another injured player. Speculation, I know.

i slipped on the floor in my kitchen and fell like that and it was really painful to even lay in bed for about 2 weeks. And I’m not 6’10 230

didn’t realize we scored that much - pretty good for missing 3 key pieces

Madness!

It could be. I would think Brown lightened up on those since we haven't heard anything about it but who knows. It could also largely be confidence. When you are basically all offense to start a game and the offense is sheepish and missing even good shots you're getting down no matter what.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Keon has 3 blocks and two steals and about 30 deflections at half time

 

[megapoxy]

Keon with +11 at halftime, Isaac has +1 all others are at minus.
McBuckets 3/5 3p, rest of the team 1/12
Rebounds are 30-17 for the Nuggets (10 offensive for them 13 defensive for us).

Brown has said almost all the practices since the season started have been no contact. Just walk thrus, shooting, film and individual work outs.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Brown needs to let McDermott play through a couple of missed shots on a regular basis. He's one of the most capable consistent 3 pt shooters on the team and it's only a matter of time, before he gets it going. Especially given that nobody else has really been shooting well

Putting DDR at PF ripped them a new one. Even Monk was guarding the post up against Gordon better because he was just staying low and pushing into Gordons legs.
