[Game] 67/82: Kings vs. Hornets 11 MAR 2026, 7pm PT/10pm ET

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

No, I never heard of it before tonight. Without League Pass, I would not be able to watch many Kings games at all (a mixed blessing this season).

You don't watch any local sports?

 

[HndsmCelt]

How bad is Baldwin that Dougie still can’t put him on the court tonight?

 

[Caccia]

You don't watch any local sports?

I go to Tar Heel women's soccer matches and tennis matches, and watch the men's basketball team on ESPN. I used also to go to North Carolina Courage matches, but they traded away or otherwise lost their best players. Free agency and abolishment of the draft may be good for the NWSL players, but it is not so kind to the fans.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

At this point, I think it's fair for pro-tankers to ask the question, "Why is DeRozan still in the game?"

He ain’t gonna climb the all time scoring list sitting on the bench.

 

[Caccia]

Surprisingly close game with one quarter to go. The Kings have attempted as many three-pointers, 15, as the Hornets have made.

I'm on night shift tonight and listening to the game over the radio. Is there any movement to the offense or is DeRozan ISO scoring the entire time?

I mean, six players have at least two assists, but it sure does feel like it's sticking in DeRozan's hands a lot.

Nique! My goodness!!

Watching the nuggets game and espn shows Balls 3 and say “kings have something to play for they’re eliminated from the playoffs with a loss”

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

ONLY 6 votes in tonight's poll????

 

[iowamcnabb]

I don’t know how many games Russ has missed but it would be interesting to see Max’s numbers on any of those nights

 

[NewArena]

Back to tankin

Morticians are not very popular. Morticia Addams would probably have taken in more than 6 votes on her own, but she wasn't listed.

So you're saying there's a chance?

Well, your post specifically indicated "...on any of those nights", so...

I'm more concerned with the fact that Raynaud has only played twenty-five minutes without being in foul trouble.

 

[SacTownKid]

The thing about Max is that certainly almost all of his offense is generated by someone else. He's kind of at that early Keegan Murray level at 82% of his offense being assisted. The only players getting FG's assisted at under a 50% clip on the season are/were Schroder, Russ, DeMar, and Devin Carter. Everybody else isn't really creating much of their own offense.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Looks like he’s scored 14, 7, 22 and 4 in non Russ games

I'm not sure that's a bad thing. There should be only one player on the Kings next year getting fewer than 50% of their buckets assisted and that's AJ Dybantsa.

I get it.

 

[KainLear]

Boy... I really didn't like how much extra time I have to watch Drew Eubanks.

On the other hand, Nique seems to be getting more comfortable.

Maxime Raynaud is starting to look like a rim protector...

I hope this is true

 

[The_Jamal]

Its still absurd a contender didn't take on DDR for a playoff push. He 100% could swing a series as a bench scoring punch.

Maybe they didn’t know he’s from Compton.

It does seem like we lose whenever a vet has a big stat game... maybe that's the strategy. "Come on, DeRozan, keep shooting, you're the only one who can do this!"
