[Game] 43/82: Kings vs. Warriors 22 JAN 2025, 7pm PT/10pm ET (ESPN)

[sactowndog]

Defense sucks for the 4th straight game. Keon playing only 8 minutes show his minutes under Doug was a function of injury.

the Fox, Monk, DeRozan combination appears not good defensively

 

[Tetsujin]

things are bad when Buddy is hitting threes

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

terrible defense Monk. Geezus

 

[Kingz19]

Another open three

Pathetic

 

[coolhandluke]

Warriors shredding the Kings defense

 

[TaxMan]

Extremely disappointing half.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Monk is one of the worst team defenders in the league my god

 

[SacTownKid]

We have one guy that can guard Steph (Keegan) he is just carving everyone else up

And the issue there is when he's guarding the pick and roll he's playing from behind after the screen and feeding Steph into worse defenders. hmmm...

 

[Sherds]

Knew Buddy was gonna hit that

 

[fansinceday1]

Monk, your gonna let friggin buddy hield do
That to you?

 

[Makaveli]

We are getting slapped around like step children in the 80’s

 

[TaxMan]

Are we contenders or pretenders. Come on.

 

[SacTownKid]

terrible defense Monk. Geezus

He's having a bad Monk night so far.

 

[iowamcnabb]

They have 7 more threes than us. Damn.

 

[Caccia]

They didn't lose anything, they've just been presented a greater challenge.

Were you (are you) a coach in another life?

 

[hrdboild]

Well... I am happy about the Kings' 10 FTA in the 2nd quarter.

Warriors shredding the Kings defense

I mean we only start two good defenders Keegan/sabonis, then two atrocious defenders in DD/Monk, and you don’t know what Fox you’re getting game to game on both ends

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

things are bad when Buddy is hitting threes

He had more 3's over a few year span than anybody. Leave him open, or jump at his pump fakes, and the odds are against

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings have come back from down more than this before. Warriors are also shooting better from three than they are from the field.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

It was super thoughtful of the Kings to hold a Mike Brown Tribute Night when his old team came into town.

 

[Tetsujin]

He had more 3's over a few year span than anybody. Leave him open, or jump at his pump fakes, and the odds are against

He’s been atrocious from the perimeter this year. Like comically bad to the point that Warriors fans are sending him death threats.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Were you (are you) a coach in another life?

Yes.....and I know Christie will turn this opportunity into a positive in some way. Most likely something along the lines of the chance to meet a greater challenge

 

[Caccia]

Since I cannot watch, what happened with the missed dunk?

 

[SacTownKid]

Credit to Kerr, he adjusted from last game on both ends. The Kings doubling Curry on pick and roll is getting slipped by the screener and that's opening up everything from there. On the other end he's icing a lot of those Monk/Fox pick and rolls. Monk is still getting passes in but it's more about how great Domas' hands are than anything. 99% of bigs ain't catching some of those haha.

 

[TaxMan]

Can waste minutes on huerter in the second half and can’t let Ellis rot on the bench. Need to make the obvious moves here Doug.

Terrible job at rotating

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Are we contenders or pretenders. Come on.

This feels like a false ultimatum. Those can't be the only two options.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

He’s been atrocious from the perimeter this year. Like comically bad to the point that Warriors fans are sending him death threats.

Despite that, he's still capable of getting hot at any moment. He isn't Huerter at this point

 

[jiimbob]

Huerter reminds me of midshipman Hollom in Master and Commander.
Sure hope Monte finds away to unload him.

 

[TaxMan]

Since I cannot watch, what happened with the missed dunk?

Reverse breakaway jam by Monk that bounced off his head before it made it all the way through the hoop.
