This is going to be the thing to watch, with Monk and Domas out, the Kings haven't struggled to run plays. If anything, they've looked like the most balanced roster we've seen this season.

Keon entered in some last defensive possessions all the time Harden blew by him quite easily. Wasn't his night.

yeah he gave up some drives.

Looks to me like the Christie "psychotherapy" has done wonders. What a waste it would have been to have the real Murray locked up in his shell for the rest of his basketball career. I am so glad that he finally broke through.

This is where the matchup is tough for him. Keon playing defense sideways gives up driving lanes which he uses to go for steals and blocks. This is why defensive players that can play with their chest are so valuable. LaRavia and Keegan did as good as they could considering they were a little oversized at times.

crap is wild hey y’all didn’t beat the crap clock that rest tough luck
Good news is that Harden didn’t absolutely destroy us like he would normally. It’s such a luxury to be able to have LaRavia, Ellis, and Murray be able to just lock people down and cause havoc. Additionally, having another potential lock down defender in Carter will be great once he starts to get more reps.

Keegan has been terrible in Novembers all three years and then usually starts coming out of it in December. I do like the aggression he is playing with offensively lately though

Still can’t believe the Derozan overturned call. Proud of the team. Heartbreaker of a loss

Clippers were a bad matchup for us but the new players have leveled the playing field. If the Kings are bad, then so are the Clippers. If we got reffed fairly, it's probably a different result.

That's straight up cheating. Deebo lost his cool and threw up a three after that. It's not just one bad call, it can have cascading effects.

I checked the NBA rule book. It says here it's legal because it is against the Kings.

we need to get an unbiased opinion on whether that was a foul or not, won’t find that on a fan forum. It seems that they allow some contact to the hand/wrist after the ball is released. It seems like the “high five” thing is relatively new? I don’t have a clear understanding of it.

The instant replay show they hit DeRozen's hand and that should be a foul but the white ref was adamant about not foul. The African ref was like nah, you're wrong...and the white ref was nah i am right. It seems the white ref is a Clippers fan. That's why when the Kings challenge the next play, he was pretty quick in announcing it like f u...this is clearly no need to challenge.
I don't think you blame this on November. He still never completely recovered offensively last year vs. year one. It was a usage issue and his dad even mentioned it before he seemed to dip out of social media.

You are not wrong. We got screwed on that one

You don't know that. Sooner or later injuries will take their toll. I mean you can tell by the lower amount of points we've been scoring recently compared to before.
That little weenie has hosed us a million times before.
They said it was contact but after release. (then later used the marginal word which is a fun get out of jail free card usually reserved for the L2M). My whole life contact is contact. We've seen guys called for a foul once the player has landed and the shot is at the rim.
Ref just reffed us.

If the jerseys were switched, would the call still stand? That's the bias check.
I'd go over to NBA reddit and see what neutrals are saying but I don't have the energy tonight.

The Denver game was horrid. This game was better in terms of team ball, but the absence of a penetrating guard who can either pass or shoot was evident, especially when contrasted to the easier shots the Clipps got. Harden had 11 assists in this game. The Kings had more assists than the Clipps in this game, but overall the Clipps got the easier shots, whether on the break or in the paint.

The weird thing is that I've forgotten they were out a couple a times. Just goes to show how well this group has played

And now we want to see no regression from the aggression and carry this through into next year. Another reason why Christie needs to be hired as the HC.
I can't wait to have them back but this team is so much deeper even if we don't have a true PG right now outside of Fultz. Frustrating loss but I do wonder how having Monk and Domas playing offense at a high level plus one more big to protect the paint would have changed this game. We'll likely see them in the play-in and I would prefer it to be a home game because we can take them.

They're talking about the call overturn over there. I know what I saw. The only thing that matters is the L that we got.
I guarantee that if Kawhi's shot had rolled out, a foul would have been called.
I know we got hosed and it cost us the game but for those who say we are too biased it might mean something.

I don’t think it would matter. The refs ruled in the kings favor 2 times after that. I think we are wanting something that isn’t there. Open to change my mind if an unbiased third party says it shouldn’t have been overturned
