[Game] 51/82: Kings @ Portland Trail Blazers 06 FEB 2025, 7pm PT/10pm ET

[Tetsujin]

Devin Defense

 

[HndsmCelt]

Keon is just great

 

[The_Jamal]

Is this our first look at Carter-Keon-Keegan together?

Carter takes the charge

 

[Larry89]

Keegan seems like he should have a bank shot instead of those little floating shots he does 5-10 feet away from the rim

 

[Tetsujin]

ugh Keon

He’s spent too much time with Fox lol.

 

[Remi]

missing ball distributor....

 

[Tetsujin]

Devin is just mucking things up on defense every single possession.

 

[The_Jamal]

Again, literally probably the first time that 5 has seen the floor together. Figuring out that chemistry is so hard on the fly.

Carter's had like 3 monster possessions already this quarter

 

[coolhandluke]

Nice one, Devin. I see you.

 

[dude12]

Devin Carter. A,king things happen

 

[iowamcnabb]

WINNING PLAYS

 

[gunks]

Carter with some nice defensive impact out there

 

[Sluggah]

Some of these passes to Lavine are…not good

 

[Larry89]

These combo pseudo guard minutes are important for Keon albeit quite painful recently.. he will develop into a fine 2 way player, not until recently DC was giving him a chance starting in what I saw during the Celtics game.

 

[The_Jamal]

Trying hard on D, have no idea how to play together on O

Devin’s only played in like ten games and Lavine and JVal joined the team yesterday. It’s gonna take a little while.

 

[BosnianDiehard2.0]

Lavine and Monk struggled to do much of anything on offense there, that five held up well defensively though.

 

[Jdbraver137]

Move the rock. Stop the driving into double teams. Or drive and kick. Let the game come to you don’t force it.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Jonas on a modern backup center should be a feast. This Clingan kid, he should eat his lunch but he’s just beefy.

 

[SacTownKid]

You can see ebbs and flows. Putting two new guys in there and rotating around them will be janky at times. This is where Zach might want to look to be a little more selfish.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

This team def needs a few practices

 

[Light it up]

Carter’s shooting is umm… yikes.

 

[Bfreeman]

Love to see Carter so active on the defensive end of the floor his shot is a project but, as long as he hustles give him minutes.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

They are air dropping donuts into the stands keep them away from Clingan.

If we're being honest, 3 new guys with Carter. There's a lot to figure out here. Glad Doug gave that bench unit a chance to get some real run; stuff like that is important to build chemistry quickly

I'm actually kind of shocked. Maybe JV wasn't interested in playing any D with the Wiz because he's doing pretty good so far, haha. Then again the best stretch had Keon and Carter feeding guys right into him and he was a gigantic roadblock.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Gotta get better shots offensively but overall not bad

 

[Larry89]

I think guys like Devin/Keon should be relegated to combo guard 2ndary handler only until they develop more.

Lavine/Derozan/Monk/Sabonis main creators... Keegan really needs to be somewhere in-between that

 

[Jdbraver137]

Jonas is great. Sabonis finally gets rest
