[Game] 53/82: Kings @ Mavericks 10 FEB 2025, 5:30pm PT/8:30pm ET

HOLY crap

 

[Jdbraver137]

Need to accept that Zach does not = DeAaron. He’s got a different skill set so will take some time. While he is not a bad passer, there are some passes he just doesn’t seem to be able to make. Need to find his strengths in the half court….tough on the fly.

Trust me once he learns to play with the other you will change your mind.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Keegan is a nice player but with the 4th pick you’d hope for someone more aggressive with their game.

I don’t think he’s a long term solution at that spot. We need more from him but he’s becoming more and more docile on offense.

 

[TaxMan]

Holy crap

 

[thingfish]

Oh my!

 

[iowamcnabb]

For effs sake

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Monk has been so bad tonight.

 

[Kingz19]

Stop trying to shoehorn the mismatch if you can’t make a decent entry pass

If you can’t get Domas the ball there is no mismatch

 

[TaxMan]

These passes to Domas are so bad. Domas is more comfy with a big center on his back. Little guys are too disruptive

 

[The_Jamal]

If we stop throwing the ball to the Mavs, we got a good shot to win this game. Insane amount of unforced turnovers.

Yeh let’s get rid of the best wing defender on the team because he’s the 5th option offensively behind Lavine, Domas, Monk and Deebo. Who out of that group should he be scoring more than?

 

[Tetsujin]

Mavs have missed more free throws than the Kings have attempted.

 

[Sluggah]

All tied up. I’ll take it.

 

[Tetsujin]

Sometimes a HoFer is just going to HoFer. What a half by Deebo.

 

[The_Jamal]

Again, stop throwing the ball to the Mavs for no reason, we'll win this game.

 

[coolhandluke]

DeRozan on fire.

 

[TaxMan]

First time the two for one quick shot actually worked.

There’s honestly no excuse for it zero shot attempts is absurd

 

[Sherds]

Monk has been so bad tonight.

Since the Minny game really.. It's like his confidence is shot

just effortless bounce lol

 

[Elektrik]

Getting screwed out of multiple and ones

We get screwed at every opportunity. Sabonis gets snubbed for the All Star Game. Not getting “and 1’s” calls,

Want to like this twice.

Or maybe just trying to hard

Notice I never said take him out of the lineup. I have long been saying that Keegan is not a natural 4 and that we are playing him out of position. I’d prefer to slot him in the forward position, slide Zach down to the 2 and use DDR to get a real 4.

 

[Elektrik]

EZ three btw DeRozan. Wish he would take more of them

 

[Jdbraver137]

Let him expend his energy on defense

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Key to the second half, clearly, is cut those turnovers down. The Mavs don’t have an answer for our offense. DDR is cooking and Sabonis is too big for them.

 

[Makaveli]

Why does it not feel like lavine is on the team to me. He feels like a substitute teacher. Almost like he won’t be here in 2 weeks. I can’t put my finger on it.

Too much passing up the open shot. Still feels like we're trying to get past stepping on each other's toes. Starting unit dialed in a bit so far in the 1H, but still not close to where we want to be

Can't believe we haven't had a practice yet with the new guys. And it shows

I know what you mean. It feels like right now he’s filling into deaaron’s role vs. being the Levine we are used to. Tonight is the first time he seems a bit more comfortable and aggressive. Still not getting any open looks from three which is weird. I think the all star break could do wonders.
