[Game] 76/82: Kings @ Wizards 02 APR 2025, 4pm PT/7pm ET

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

The Wizards are looking at the Kings the way that every other team in the league looks at the Wizards.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Not watching why are we struggling let alone losing to the ****ing wizards man

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Well. This team is looking fully cooked now. Regardless of how the rest of this goes

 

[SacTownKid]

This team is starting to hang their heads for stretches now. I'd say the fact that this isn't a blowout is a good sign considering the 3's being a disaster on both ends.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I feel the same way but this might be the new equivalent of "get off my lawn".

It's just going to have to be that, then. I've been saying this for twenty-five years, and I'll die on this hill: the three-point shot is the single-worst thing to ever happen to the sport of basketball.

 

[megapoxy]

Do you normally watch the games otherwise? If so, why watch east coast games differently?

Its 7 am right now. The change of time + the eastern schedule dont work on my favor (the time doesnt change where i am)

Tip of the cap for somehow trying to put a positive spin on this. I'm not capable at this point

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

A "pick six" right out of a time out. And doesn't that just say it all?

 

[Krunker]

I fully expect the team to turn it on in the second half and pull out the W, but if that doesn't happen, I agree that we are cooked for the season

I don't know, it's a dangerous game to play with where the Kings are at but this really does feel like the Kings are half ***ing it thinking they can laziness their way into a W tonight. Not at a great longer term sign for a team heading into the play in, or trying to at least.

I grok the time change; I was asking how the time change impacts the way you watch the game? You said that you were watching the game on your phone, but it came across like that's not how you watch the games when the Kings play at home?

That they could mentally be in that space at this juncture, is what is disturbing

 

[Kingz19]

Nice defense

not

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Lavine half assing defense again to close the half. The guy is a joke on that side of the court

On laptop/desktop or tv when we play more "normal" time.

 

[megapoxy]

On that Keegan 3 the bench celebration looked like "forced" as if "they are not feeling it" and I am pretty sure this is not related with Keegan individually.

 

[TheMobb]

I’m staying positive. The team is still learning how to play together. I’m expecting a big half from LaVine, DDR and Sabonis here. Monks shot is gonna start dropping.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

On laptop/desktop or tv when we play more "normal" time.

Is there some sort of logistical reason why the laptop and/or TV doesn't work when the Kings play at "abnormal" times?

 

[SacTownKid]

I'm sure part of it is effort but no question the ankle has to be an issue when it comes to help D from Domas. The Kings guards have fed some action into him and he's a step slow.

 

[Caccia]

It feels like an abyss is opening up.

I want to say that it'd be nice if they had a backup plan, except 50 percent of their backup plan ("play better defense") is in street clothes.

Yes but I dont have to answer that.

 

[fansinceday1]

Sometimes it looks like this team just doesn’t care.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

It can't be a good sign when you come back from a commercial break and the production crew is showing still shots of the other team.

 

[gunks]

This team is such a collection of pathetic bums

Trade everyone but Keegan

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Yes but I dont have to answer that.

Fair enough.

 

[Elektrik]

This game is the metaphor for the movie Thelma and Louise.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Keon is also a player who would excel with a group that plays hard

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Rock bottom is a team majority of quitters

 

[Sluggah]

Why does it feel like 3 guys are often ‘guarding‘ the same 1 guy
