[Game] 38/82: Kings @ Celtics 10 JAN 2025, 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET

Shots are just barely missing. He'll keep taking them in his spots and they will fall again.

I sure hope so. DeRozan and Huerter are killing us.

Good half. Right in this, which is all you can ask in Boston

BOS especially is a team you just have to keep hanging around, don't lose focus. They can drop a 15-0 run at pretty much any point, they're the most explosive offensive in the league. Love the fight so far, just playing really excellent basketball

Random comment: Is it me or does Mark Jones come across as “fake” to anyone else? I much prefer Draper as I feel like he actually cares about this team and you can feel that when he speaks. I feel like Mark Jones is just here to collect a paycheck and pretend like he’s invested in this team…anyways…carry on!

He's a national announcer for sure. Those guys have to have a certain approach to the game call because they aren't home team announcers.

100% agree. Fake and loves all his cute little sayings. Would love to get rid of both him and Kayte!

And again, this "new" coaching staff is totally changing up the defensive end. They are running blitzes, switches, and just about anything and everything. Teams are obviously still hung up on the old give up all the worst shots possible defense. We'll see if Mazzulla switches up that middle pick and roll action. The Kings were really attacking that when Tatum had the ball.

It sure is a difference. Lots of defensive activity--it keeps the other team guessing.

You really hate this guy? He just won us a game with unreal shot making in double overtime

And this game they are basically looking for DeMar to bail out the offense when it gets stagnant.

 

[Jones2006]

Kings playing well ... But it is still disheartening to me how much of an afterthought Keegan Murray is offensively. It's on him but the team doesn't ever try to get him going ... He made 2 3's right at the start of the game and only 3 shot attempts after that. Someone has to be in his ear to attack more especially when they're half doubling Monk or DeRozan.

 

[The_Jamal]

Good first half. Really clear we need another defensive forward. Tatum/Brown are huge match-up problems for everyone not named Keegan.

Jaylen Brown 5-12 for 13 points
Tatum 3-8 for 9 points

What more are you expecting defensively? Keon and Keegan doing about as well as you can on them

Yeah, Keon got punished early on switches but hey, if Brown playing Shaq is the Celtics road to victory so be it. See if he can put up 60 in the post, lol.

Hate is a strong word! He’s clearly hurting the offense he needs to come off the bench getting hot that game doesn’t mean anything in the long run. He sucked that game as well till the last five minutes

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

And this game they are basically looking for DeMar to bail out the offense when it gets stagnant.

Yeah, I don't get it. Do people want him to run around out there and not shoot? or do they expect him to shoot the same exact % in every half he plays?

you're over the top with your negativity every game towards him.

Wouldn’t be that stagnant if his man wasn’t in the paint as we run pick and rolls. Sabonis had Brown pinned on a post up and monk fed him only for Demar’s man to come double with no consequence

 

[SacTownKid]

Uh oh, that dang zone again.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Uh oh, that dang zone again.

Ya we shouldn’t be playing zone vs a team that only wants to shoot threes

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Sabonis playing with next level energy

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Might need to mute the game just so I don't have to hear the EXTREMELY ANNOYING in-arena announcer in the background every time the Celtics hit a shot.

 

[SacTownKid]

Well, looks like the Kings coaches actually worked on their zone attack in practice. Crazy when coaching and adjustment happens.

It says something about Christie that these assistants are responding to him just like the players

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Mark Jones gets so many calls wrong lol

 

[Shaqfuey]

The constant Brown and Tatum push offs are frustrating. Kings doing well despite the refs ignoring.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

DeMar is ice cold.

Someone was in his ear to attack more. The Kings fired that someone.

 

[SLAB]

My lord, DDR.

 

[SLAB]

If someone is in someone else’s ear but it isn’t working like at all, does it really matter?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Monk's best position is lead guard.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

DeMar is ice cold.

and we're still right in this

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Monk giving good defensive effort
