[Game] 80/82: Kings vs. Nuggets 09 APR 2025, 7pm PT/10pm ET (ESPN)

[Tetsujin]

Devin with some good defense in this stretch. Only guy on this team who can match with Russ.

 

[SacTownKid]

Now Carter? He can be a true lockdown defender.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Nice block. Crucial few minutes here

 

[Tetsujin]

he made some shots in the first half but this might be the worst game of Keon’s career.

 

[SacTownKid]

Devin with some good defense in this stretch. Only guy on this team who can match with Russ.

And they've finally also be switching him up a little. Next season with some size added on the Kings ability to switch should be a consistent thing hopefully.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Kings are fighting, I give them credit

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Non Jokic + Westbrick minuets are golden

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Deven can be our Brooks without the attitude

 

[coolhandluke]

I have no idea how the score is still close with the atrocious defense and haphazard offense we have.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Haven't shot well enough to win an NBA game. Pretty simple

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That was not winning the non-Joker minutes.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Sabonis was wide open on that airball

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Derozens just gonna keep shooting no matter what. He's made up his mind

 

[Letsgokings13]

man he keeps jackin them up

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

They're just doubling Derozan and Lavine, who keep forcing shots

 

[Rob-The-Great]

6 for freak 23 man. Embarrassing

 

[Tetsujin]

Domas just sorta half-assing it tonight. Haven’t seen him box out at all

 

[Letsgokings13]

just refusing to pass

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Whole team showing a lack of effort. Or at least a lot of the main guys. Sabonis, LaVine, Keon all underperforming. DeRozan absolutely chucking to no end. Pretty embarrassing that they can’t just play hard and smart for longer than a half week.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Domas just sorta half-assing it tonight. Haven’t seen him box out at all

Why would he. He's not getting any passes. The man can't even set up the offense without derozen shooting. It's a black.hole tonight

 

[Rob-The-Great]

I dont think Lavine has played bad. He's not a flame thrower yet but he's at least passing

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

The hell? They counted that as possession?

 

[coolhandluke]

Any idea why they are trying to defend Jokic with Keon?

 

[Rob-The-Great]

He did not have possession that's terrible

 

[SacTownKid]

Not sure Keon switching these screens is a good call. He's getting picked off but it might be better to just hedge up or blitz.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Refs do not want us to win tonight man, and we are not helping

 

[Tetsujin]

is it tall Steph time again?

 

[Kingz19]

No excuse not to force feed Zach for the remainder of this game

 

[coolhandluke]

Zach is heating up!

 

[iowamcnabb]

25 and 10 for Lavine
