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

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

That's what a loose zone can do to a team with low iQ defenders

 

[Tetsujin]

On a franchise that once had Buddy Hield on it, Zach Lavine might somehow be the laziest defender I’ve ever seen.

And this is the danger of "playing down to your opponent". This is the kind of game where it's good when a coach pulls guys and sits them. The energy clearly is off. Put in Jones or someone. They'll just play. It's worth a shot at least.

It's like there's a mandate where he has to lose or win with the highest paid players

Rock bottom is a team majority of quitters

Some people say that there's nothing worse in sports than rooting for a team that's mediocre, and those people are wrong. What's worse is rooting for a team that plays like they don't have any heart.

This is legit the least I’ve liked a kings team in over a decade.

 

[Spike]

Spotting them 14 is a bold move. Let's see how it plays out.

 

[Angelo127]

They're down by 13 against the effing Wizards? What is wrong with them?

Here comes the run right here

No doubt, I'd rather go lose 60 games next year, but let Carter/Keon/Keegan go play hard and get all the minutes and try to figure it out. At least they'll attempt to play defense

 

[joemama]

Here comes the run right here

Noooooo!

 

[Kingz19]

These guys are checked out

 

[SLAB]

LOLOLOLOL

Fire everyone.

 

[Tetsujin]

Trey keeps dropping into the paint like he’s the center of a team in the early 2000s but he’s playing as a forward in this lineup so there’s absolutely no reason for him to be doing that.

 

[SacTownKid]

New rule, if Monk says to challenge, don't haha. Honestly, that contact had no effect on the shot but he probably didn't even realize he did that.

It's called taking the night off, and he's not the only one, lol.

probably lose the challenge, cause his left hand was on the guys hip

 

[SacTownKid]

Wow, the whole things is a work. All year, no flopping calls, now they call them. SMH. Marginal contact? Sure thing boss, haha.

 

[SLAB]

MARGINAL CONTACT!!!

 

[SacTownKid]

Yeah, look at the Kings now. Hustling, moving. Yep, they came to play the last 5 minutes and no more.

 

[SLAB]

Wizards announcers are salty about that “Marginal Contact” lol

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Fake tough.

 

[Tetsujin]

Zach not being in the game also helping.

 

[SLAB]

Wait… Sabonis just got whacked in the face and got called for the foul? Lol

 

[SLAB]

That was the sleepiest pull apart argument I’ve ever seen.

 

[Tetsujin]

Tank commander Zach back in

 

[jphilip]

I detached my retina for this??

 

[gunks]

Tank commander Zach back in

Oh yeah, I said earlier that we should trade everyone but Keegan, but we definitely need to hang on to Vivek's boy Zach in order to give Vlade his best shot to blow a top 4 pick in the next few drafts!

 

[Turgenev]

You know there is a wizards forum somewhere where anyone still paying attention is worried about missing the Lin.

You're not able to look away from a train wreck in motion
