[Game] 72/82: Kings vs. Thunder 25 MAR 2025, 7pm PT/10pm ET

[Section 101]

Rookie or not, how is Devin not getting more minutes on SGA? Plain stupid not to try it when he looked like the best matchup. Now the dudes on fire.

JFC, he missed yesterday's game being sick.

I think Doug’s in “gotta save my job” mode and just sorta tightening up on almost everything to a terrible degree, meaning less minutes for Devin and more minutes for the vet Markelle Fultz

I’ll say it again, the number one thing we have to fix in the offseason is the 3 point defense. It killed us in those first 30 games and it’s absolutely destroying us in the last stretch here. I don’t care if it’s new players or new strategy, it must be done or nothing else matters. Find a coach (head or assistant) that can figure it out.

57 percent from 3 is absurd. And it’s everyone not just one player.

 

[SacTownKid]

JFC, he missed yesterday's game being sick.

Unless he asked out he seemed to be moving fine.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Domas three ball really fell off.

6-33 since his 60 percent January

and almost every shot has missed short. I don’t remember the last time he made one

 

[Tetsujin]

Maybe it's off base, but I've seen some interviews and kind of watched Domas since he's been back. I think there is definitely smoke to him possibly wanting out. He's looked tuned out since all the mess happened.

Him getting back on social media the same exact time that Kings twitter turned into a cesspool of pure bile probably doesn’t help.

These TNT announcers at half time are pure garbage. Where’s Charles, Ernie, and Kenny Smith? When Shaq is your best announce then something is wrong

They’re doing March Madness so the NBA coverage gets a bunch of leftovers

Study the Orlando Magic defense. We dont have Suggs and KCP but they do well lately without Suggs as well. They have issues scoring three pointer themselves though.

 

[Hoovtrain]

And all the Thunder needed to do was have the Clippers accidentally trade them a guy who turned into a future MVP

Except this is the 2nd time Presti has built a machine

 

[Tetsujin]

The glee with which the Matt Georges of the world are rooting for the Kings to fail just can’t be healthy. How the hell do these people function in daily life?

Duh, I shoulda known. Haven’t been watching the NCAA…my bad

Pretty easy to do when the Blazers pass on KD to take a guy who speedran the Joel Embiid injury career arc.

It is always better to be lucky than it is to be good.

Ok, Shaq was just unintelligible

 

[Hoovtrain]

so easy he’s done it twice.

 

[Elektrik]

What is wrong with Monk? Seriously,….where is he?

 

[iowamcnabb]

What is wrong with Monk? Seriously,….where is he?

sick

 

[Elektrik]

Ok, Shaq was just unintelligible

My point exactly

 

[Tetsujin]

What the hell was that Keon? You’re not playing football.

 

[Elektrik]

sick

Do you buy that?

 

[Tetsujin]

Do you buy that?

Half the roster has been sick over the last couple of games.

 

[Elektrik]

Another clunker by Sabonis

 

[Tetsujin]

Domas is also clearly less than 100%. His timing has been off on everything.

 

[Elektrik]

This team looks terrible. They look like they would rather be anywhere but here

 

[iowamcnabb]

Do you buy that?

yes, half the team has been sick

 

[Tetsujin]

yes, half the team has been sick

Or have they?

[HndsmCelt]

Had to teach a class tonight, so I sat down at the half to watch the game and almost didn’t turn the TV on, looks like there’s some signs of life on the court though so I’m here to say go Kings. If these guys expect to do anything in the postseason they’re gonna have to deal with these guys first

It must have been those cereal the social media team gave them a week ago.

 

[Tetsujin]

Lu Dort too bulky and strong to be falling over like that lmfao

 

[Kingz19]

Damn it Zach, pull the damn 3
