DeRozan not jabbing his foot into the 3pt line
Team-high 16 on 9 shots. Just killing us.

Is this the highest scoring first half for the Kings this season?

The Kings got a little bit clueless and lazy on the corners again, have to clean that up.
Like, I conceptually understand helping off to stop the drive, but we're going on 35 games now of us just straight up being roasted by 3's because we're late closing out every time. And it gets guys in an early rhythm and it lets someone like a Jaylen Wells torch us for 27.
We seriously cannot be THAT scared of giving up a bunch of shots at the rim. Surely, at some point, the coaches have to look at the math of how many point we're allowing because of all these wide open 3's. And it's just purely scheme; the wing defender shows in the paint, it gets sprayed to the corner or the elbow and we're late on the close-out. Every game, every half, every quarter.
I don't get it. Millions of dollars being invested in these coaches and it's the same problem that's causing us to lose these games.

It's weird how much he struggles with basic defensive consistency. Some guys just never get it I guess

Was hoping to see a live shot of Carter score his first bucket in front of his dad. Would’ve been a great TV moment, unfortunately missed it with the court flipped for the 2nd

Sabonis defense was a lil suspect as well.
But hey, we are winning. All we need to do is win by 1 and we got a 3 game win streak baby on a rookie debut

When a big comes out and puts both hand on a shooters stomach and they end up with twice the FT attempts, the refs need to start looking at some video.

To be fair, at this point, it’s only been one guy helping off of threes every single possession but the other team is just finding his man every single time.
I know you can’t have Red Panda every night but the local Zumba gym is more than a few notches below and they’re making Slamson do it too? Could at least bring Roy Al back for that.

It's a tough matchup for Monk. It was last game too. Monk seems to score pretty well against the Grizz this season though.

Did they ban Roy Al?

Two things:
What is our season high for threes?
when was the last time we were hot from 3 but the other team was shooting under their average?
14 made threes at 48 percent and we have a 6 point lead at half.

really liked his decision making and rebounding.
the foul on the 3 point shooter with the jump on the close out was a bit what I was worried about.
Would love to see a Carter Keon backcourt for a few minutes and see how they do or do not lock down the opponents.

This halftime is outrageous. Like are you serious? This is the best they can do? Some old woman with no rythem doing a work out?

And at some point we see if Carter helping down low works either. Should be much better than DDR or Monk one would think.

No words from him since he was shipped back to Kansas...
I think they cut him into pieces and threw him off the Tower Bridge.
