[Game] 52/82: Kings vs. Grizzlies 04 FEB 2026, 7pm PT/10pm ET

[Capt. Factorial]

The world-record tying foul committed with 0.1 seconds left in the half.

 

[SacTownKid]

Clifford and Carter at least make the games exciting. They get out and run.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Stupid foul Devin smh. Just no reason for it.

But overall good show by carter.

Hunter looked better than expected defensive

Worse than expected offensive

 

[White_Chocolate]

We need Lavine and Russ for the tank. Demar can find a new home if they can make it work

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I’m willing to ignore this infraction because it’s pointless and provides no real advantage to the offensive player. I suppose another solution would be to have 4 inch “heel zone” along that baseline that would prevent 99 percent of these calls.

Or a solution would be to extend the arc all the way and get rid of the corner 3.

 

[SacTownKid]

I want to see Hunter get more looks in the 2nd half. Obviously the team has so many lineups that really haven't even played up to this point but he should be getting aggressive next half.

I feel like you owe me a Coke here

Hunter showing those 1 on 1 chops on D. It's easy to see the vision with he and Keegan together especially on that end. Hunter gets knocked for team D but the Kings might end up having a pretty switchable lineup so it won't really matter.

Hunter is a bad defender I don’t care if he plays good defense tonight or for a week theres years of tape on him and he refused to defend on a playoff team

I didn't see you post that. But I have suggested it before as a way to restore some fun play at the rim. I'm also fine with pushing out the 3 given how common it is. It should be a ~33% shot vs. a ~50% for two or its broke.

His one on one game has always been solid and there's plenty of tape on that too. He's a poor rebounder and sometimes fades on help.

I am far from an expert on Hunter but wasn't he supposed to be good at defense when ATL traded for him? I understand that was 3.5 seasons ago. I'm not high on the acquisition and I'd prefer to let his knees get better if he can contribute but I'd be happy if he did contribute next season.

 

[Caccia]

Westbrook, LaVine, and Hunter together are 2-17 at the half. Sabonis is 9-11.

 

[Caccia]

I would like to see some actual lock-down defense in the second half. Memphis does not have JJJ or Ja, only Ty Jerome.

 

[Caccia]

The starters are not getting back in transition. All it takes is one guy too slow up the court.

 

[SacTownKid]

Yeah, Domas is certainly in discomfort. No reason to risk anything right now.

Have to play all defenders for that to happen

 

["Him"mer Fredette]

I can not wait for Westbrook to not be resigned and he fades off into the distance because nobody but us will sign him. I'm over seeing him on a court.

 

[Tetsujin]

Traditional “the old guys gave up at halftime” third quarter

Ok and Lavine was a star player in this forum for a week last year after the trade same crap different year honeymoon is over next month and you’ll be complaining about him like the Cavs and hawks fans did

People want him to be a defender that’s about it

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Warriors really just didnt want us to have kaminga. Porzingus? Really? Might as well trade him for a doctor's bill

LaVine is a star offensive player. Even if this ****show is what it is that's not any different today than then.

 

[coolhandluke]

Hunter heating up

 

[Caccia]

Memphis is double-teaming DeMar every time down the court.

Kuminga and Hield went to Atlanta for Porzingis.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Hi, just thought I’d make my bi-monthly drop in to let you know that the team sucks and they are really bad. I would never pay for tickets! I don’t really follow the NBA anymore, I’m an NFL guy now. Team stinks!

 

[coolhandluke]

Porzingis is more likely to join Jimmy on the injured list

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Lavine is trash man. His lack of effort on defense is embarrassing.

I thought fox was terrible for taking half the game off. Lavine takes the full game off on defense and half off on offense.

Bench these bums.

I swear if we cut lavine, Westbrook today we would win more games. Put them on IR or something

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Put carter back in. Thats l I wanna see

 

[Rob-The-Great]

And niq

 

[coolhandluke]

Nique has to stay aggressive. Keep going!
