[Game] 34/82 Kings vs. 76ers 01 JAN 2025, 7pm PT/10pm ET

[Bosnian Diehard]

Len and McDermott should play exactly zero more minutes combined the rest of this game.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Sixers look dominant with the Giant in the lane: Yabusele might not get back in the game.

 

[TaxMan]

Len is getting TORCHED on defense. Not just the 2 post-ups from Drummond, everything

I’ve historically been a big Len supporter but he just doesn’t look as good this year.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Gordon has 8 points and a block I didn’t even know this guy was still playing we really are one of the worst teams

 

[The_Jamal]

I mean Icraw and Ijones simply can't be worse in those spots right? At least give you a chance at some defensive pressure, energy.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Paul George has averaged 15 points a game, has 18 in 13 minutes tonight

 

[Capt. Factorial]

The fans aren't jeering, they're just saying "Boo-ench! Boo-ench!"

 

[The_Jamal]

Paul George has averaged 15 points a game, has 18 in 13 minutes tonight

Don't want to hear any more "KEEGAN HAS REGRESSED, HE'S WORTH NOTHING" slander

 

[TaxMan]

Drummond give up a potential dunk to throw it into the third row. Got to love the current nba.

 

[The_Jamal]

I mean just 3 possessions:

-Fox dribbles out of bounds
-Doug McBuckets just lets the ball slip through his hands to a TO
-Huerter can't handle a bounce pass.

Stuff like that just kills you when you don't get a shot up on simple/unforced turnovers.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Groin shot?

 

[TaxMan]

Don't want to hear any more "KEEGAN HAS REGRESSED, HE'S WORTH NOTHING" slander

Well to be fair, the drop off will be large when we have no other wing on the team to at least try to effectively defend George.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I hope Paul George is OK, but they probably oughta sit him for the rest of the game just to be sure

 

[Remi]

I mean just 3 possessions:

-Fox dribbles out of bounds
-Doug McBuckets just lets the ball slip through his hands to a TO
-Huerter can't handle a bounce pass.

Stuff like that just kills you when you don't get a shot up on simple/unforced turnovers.

And a lot of standing still - no cuts, when one person has the ball...

 

[Jones2006]

Len and McDermott should play exactly zero more minutes combined the rest of this game.

Len played fine imo. Not really with the overreaction because a guy makes a shot. It's like saying Ellis shouldn't play because he fouled George on the 3' or Domas should be benched for the last turnover ... Drummond got lucky on that 1st hook shot, Len's D was fine. 2nd one nice move, it happens.

The issue when the bench was in was the offense mainly - It's basically Fox, DeRozan taking turns going 1 on 1 with Len screening, need more movement.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kings have given up 13 points off of 6 turnovers. And this has been a pattern I've noticed all season. There can't be any other team with a positive net rating that is giving up close to two points per turnover.

Then again, there's also no other team with a positive net rating that's 5 games below .500, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[TaxMan]

My lord. We’ve turned into the Washington generals

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Would somebody like to put a body on Eric Gordon?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Did we beat the Sixers last year? It feels like we always lose to them

 

[Joshyjosh31]

We’re getting beat by Reggie Jackson, Eric Gordon, and Andre Drummond in 2025 blow up the team were cooked to the max

 

[The_Jamal]

Did we beat the Sixers last year? It feels like we always lose to them

Pretty sure we lost an Embiid-less game to them last year too.

But we were a good team last year, so that's a big difference

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Would somebody like to put a body on Eric Gordon?

Listen to how embarrassing this sounds… Eric Gordon

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Did we beat the Sixers last year?

Split: won in Sacramento by 8, lost in Philadelphia by 19.

 

[Jdbraver137]

We needs wings and a serviceable big off the bench.

 

[TaxMan]

Thank god Trey has found his stroke again

 

[Remi]

ok, only Lyles should shoot 3s in Kings team

 

[The_Jamal]

Trey keeping this life-boat afloat.

Send the rest of the bench to the sun

 

[coolhandluke]

Sabonis has to take that shot down there in the paint.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

We simply can't let Domas kick out to the three when he's open under the basket. With three seconds left in the game, down three? Sure. In the second quarter, dunk that crap.

 

[TaxMan]

This feels like a game we could use Isaac Jones.
