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

[Bosnian Diehard]

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

We beat them in Sac, lost in p when they didn’t have Embiid lol. To note, Embiid missed the game in Sacramento too.

 

[TaxMan]

This unit with Lyles looks good. He fills the Keegan role pretty good.

 

[Sluggah]

Tied up. Nice.

This unit with Lyles looks good. He fills the Keegan role pretty good.

He's played incredibly well since coming back from injury. He brought back the Dallas game, along with Keon, defensively in that 3Q too.

 

[SacTownKid]

Interesting defensive changes from Brown to DC. DC has them trap on the double. Huge problem with Brown. That basically used to make those 3 on 4's against the Kings. Then Domas straight switching onto Maxey. And stopped him. Hmmm... full court press too.

 

[The_Jamal]

So why is Caleb Martin just allowed to run into Domas like that and it's a no call?

****ing stupid

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Foxxxxyyy

 

[TaxMan]

Hell yeah!

 

[HndsmCelt]

Tied at the half so there are

 

[iowamcnabb]

Finally one for us haha

 

[The_Jamal]

New plan. Starters+Lyles play the 2nd half, everyone else sits their ass down on the bench.

 

[sono]

All the bad plays are forgotten with that clutch shot.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Sabonis with the anti-Divac!

 

[TaxMan]

Sure looked like Sabonis travelled there but I’ll take it. Glad they bounced back. Now just need to get a different bench unit/rotation out there in the second half.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

NBA refs lol how do you miss Sabonis traveling in the middle of the floor with nobody around him

 

[HndsmCelt]

New plan. Starters+Lyles play the 2nd half, everyone else sits their ass down on the bench.

I was a little surprised Dougie didn’t start Trey for Keegan, still think that’s the best play

 

[coolhandluke]

We had a bad group out there for quite sometime on the floor. Will take the tie at half time.

We’re playing the defense Doug used in Summer League. These are all also basically concepts Doug would complain about the Kings not doing when he was the color commentator

And looked great in the Detroit game as well

Same way Caleb Martin runs into Domas on that bad pass and it's a "no call"

 

[Double-K]

Sabonis with the anti-Divac!

As in he lives a healthy lifestyle and no cigar smoking?

 

[Tetsujin]

Didn’t select Marvin Bagley with the second overall pick or trade Boogie for scraps either as far as I know

 

[iowamcnabb]

If Caleb Martin can get his shot off so can Devin. It’s like a cross between Hali’s form and Deebo’s jump forward footwork. Gross

 

[SacTownKid]

I was a little surprised Dougie didn’t start Trey for Keegan, still think that’s the best play

Actually that lineup with DeMar at PF at the start was the only true positive on the night in the +/-. They did very well. Then the bench came and and crumbled.

We lost 2 years ago without Harden and Embiid at home back then, Maxey destroyed us

I mean, I could jog your memory, but you probably wouldn't appreciate it.

 

[Double-K]

In my old age, memory definitely do not serve me well at all.

And I count it as a blessing.

The bench with Fox, Huerter, and Lyles looked pretty bad.

 

[coolhandluke]

Kings can learn from the Sixers on how to press up on three point defense. We give up too much space for the shooters.
