[Game] 35/82 Kings vs. Grizzlies 03 Jan 2025, 7pm PT 10ET

it takes a certain amount of confidence to dress like Devin Carter does and that confidence normal translates to being good lol

How much better would Murray be, if he get himself to dress like this?

Dude would be MVP

Jae has been a solid acquisition for this reason alone.

 

[Caccia]

This is a good night for Monk to break out of his three-point shooting slump. A little higher arch, Malik!

lol Doug with a “what the hell was that question?” Sort of answer to start the presser.

Clear as day Doug might already know what he's got from Carter. "I don't know what too hard or too fast is" That's Carter's music right there.

 

[Caccia]

Yes, like that.

 

[The_Jamal]

Kings D off to a great start. Flying around

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Days since fouling a three-point shooter: 0

 

[Spike]

We still pretending that these guys look good when they dress like clowns huh?

 

[killer123]

how many times do we have to foul a 3-pt shooter.....

it is getting frustrating

 

[The_Jamal]

Kings D off to a great start. Flying around

Oops, that's on me

 

[Spike]

Oops, that's on me

Too much flying, apparently.

 

[The_Jamal]

"Yeah Scottie got a 4 point play there, but Scottie WILL remember the closeout on the next shot"

Lol wut?

 

[The_Jamal]

Domas with the "Gortat screen" to just shove JJJ out of bounds lol

 

[The_Jamal]

@hrdboild throwing up in his mouth right now with the start of this game.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

We are on pace to shoot well over 80 threes in this game. I weep for Slim.

 

[Caccia]

Memphis playbook: Protect the paint and let them shoot from three. The Kings can't make them.

 

[Remi]

wtf, 3pt shooting contest....
in 5 min - Kings 10 shots, Grizz - 5

 

[Tetsujin]

DoMaS dOeSn’T tAkE tHrEeS

We are on pace to shoot well over 80 threes in this game. I weep for Slim.

I imagine Slim and Hrd just weeping on the couch right now, muttering "what's happened to the game I love..."

 

[Capt. Factorial]

But, as much as it makes for a crappy game, if we're going to shoot 50% from three then we need to keep shooting threes.

 

[Sluggah]

This is not the season for us to be in a 3pt shootout

 

[Rob-The-Great]

You asked for close outs, your getting them

 

[Tetsujin]

Keon with the great help on JJJ

 

[The_Jamal]

This is not the season for us to be in a 3pt shootout

If the Grizzlies are going to give us 15+ feet of separation on every 3PA, then yes it is.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Not a fan of all theses 3s no lie. Makes me uneasy

 

[Sluggah]

If the Grizzlies are going to give us 15+ feet of separation on every 3PA, then yes it is.

I feel like we’re worse at those

 

[Tetsujin]

Domas was in the air before Edey even reacted lol

 

[Capt. Factorial]

We have not solved our three point defense problems, yet, have we?
