[Game] 44/82: Kings at Nuggets 23 JAN 2025, 6pm PT/9pm ET

[TheMobb]

Get this to around 10 by the end of Q

 

[Caccia]

Malik absolutely does not have it tonight.

I am afraid not.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

There’s literally no defense for that give and go

 

[Tetsujin]

Keegan from three: 3/5
Rest of team from three: 3/17

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I don't think playing him short minutes is working. He has big games once in awhile but scorers like him more often than not just look worse.

Yeah, it's tough to get a rhythm going when you're not out there much. That much is true for just about any shooter/scorer.

The team is in a tough spot with him though, because his value is probably at all time low, coming up to the dead line

 

[SacTownKid]

Morris begs to differ.

He's obviously someone that's never been in a life or death pillow fight.

His contract doesn't last forever. I think this is more about not letting him get left behind at this point. Maybe he gets dealt, but if he doesn't I think it's probably he's not leaving the rotation any time soon.

 

[HndsmCelt]

The fact that the guys can come out swinging that hard and then just lose, it tells me they are just gassed. I hope they can dig deep

I wouldn't just keep playing him as a net zero, if they can't make a trade. Give those minutes to Keon and Carter

 

[Spike]

lol we beat GSW without Kuminga and green is that some accomplishment the team needs size

That didn't answer the question.

 

[Caccia]

All of the Nuggets' starters have 15 points or more with 3:34 in the third quarter.

 

[coolhandluke]

Keon doing Keon things

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Fox is hurting the team right now. Can't shoot

 

[Joshyjosh31]

You make a little mistake a Jokic has a guard for an open three just ridiculous

 

[Joshyjosh31]

That didn't answer the question.

GSW size was in street clothes and they suck

 

[Löwenherz]

These guys are all pro athletes everyone plays back to backs. They need to hustle and play better. This is crazy

The other guys are all pro-athletes too

And not playing the second game of a back to back on the road after traveling 900 miles on a plane, following a hard fought come-from-behind win against a rival with a future hall-of-famer, losing an hour from the time zone change, landing around 4am, checking into a hotel probably just before sunrise, sleeping in the daylight past noon in a strange bed, getting a bite to eat of lunch when your body’s thinking about breakfast, putting in some pre-game shoot around to try to acclimate to a sudden 5,000 FEET elevation change to face a team that is a playoff contender, are coming off a day of rest, has the reigning MVP, and lives in the thin air of a mile high elevation.

The #noexcuses crowd could stand to chill a bit.

They’re pros, but they’re still people.

 

[Sluggah]

Ouch.

 

[SacTownKid]

Carter time?

 

[Tetsujin]

Just one of those nights

 

[Krunker]

Yikes not a good end to the 3rd

 

[est.1999]

Welp, they almost made a run

 

[coolhandluke]

Jokic with the near full court three. It's that kind of night.

 

[Sluggah]

Well. That’s a sign this is done.

 

[megapoxy]

OMG Jokic, ofc it would happen against the Kings, not the first time this season conceding a shot like this.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Wow. Unreal toss from 3/4 court

 

[SacTownKid]

Just one of those nights

When Domas is barely half way through the 3rd and bent over. Needless to say everyone else is beyond gassed. Domas is like the Terminator.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Joker with a flat out sign from God there

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Jokic with the near full court three. It's that kind of night.

I tried to tell everybody way back before halftime but nobody wanted to listen

If I were the Kings I would merely ignore human biology and outhustle the Nuggets but maybe I’m different

 

[Tetsujin]

Mike Malone’s postgame presser about to be lit.
