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

[Tetsujin]

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.

He’s also going under even the most token of screens tonight. Against Russ, I get it but he’s been doing the same with Pickett.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Ohhh shoopt. Zack attack activated

 

[coolhandluke]

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

No excuse for Zach to not pull the trigger on any open three rest of the game either.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

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

 

[Letsgokings13]

there we go

If DDR shoots another time I’m ripping my hair out

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

If LaVine is in the zone, then they need to bring Carter in for DeRozan, and try to get some stops.

 

[coolhandluke]

This team has talent but the intentional dumbness is making it hard for everyone.

 

[Caccia]

If DDR shoots another time I’m ripping my hair out

Rip away. It's a five-point game.

stand on business

1 on 1 bullcrap

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Welp.

 

[Kingz19]

sigh

probably close to set anyway but I was hoping for a winning record atleast

i hate when teams with losing records make the postseason

 

[Tetsujin]

Keon digging down for absolutely no reason all night has made the Nuggets look completely justified in firing Malone for not playing Jalen Pickett lmfao

 

[SacTownKid]

Came down to stops and rebounds. Got neither.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Sabonis nine shot attempts

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Well that's game. Should have challenged that flop

 

[Letsgokings13]

sabonis looks awful lol.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

1 on 1 bullcrap

It's why this team really isn't dangerous for the post season. Better teams will just focus on limiting Lavine and Derozan

 

[Joshyjosh31]

1 on 1 bullcrap

Bulls West

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Ill again be happy when we switch out derozen for a defensive pf

 

[iowamcnabb]

The Nuggets have made their last 6 field goal attempts and several free throws in there too. This same thing happened to us earlier this year when we played them.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Every time we swing the ball we get a wide open Ellis 3

 

[Rob-The-Great]

sabonis looks awful lol.

He only got 9 shots and shot over 50% with 11 boards and plenty screens and hustle plays. What do you want him to do if not involved in the offense

 

[Tetsujin]

He hasn’t been involved on offense because he hasn’t particularly tried to get involved on offense.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Every time we swing the ball we get a wide open Ellis 3

I take issue that they never seem to be looking to get him shots. Nearly every shot he gets is a random emergency attempt.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

He hasn’t been involved on offense because he hasn’t particularly tried to get involved on offense.

You can't possibly mean that. Derozen dam near shot 30 times and held onto the ball the other half. What you want him to do. Take it from him

 

[iowamcnabb]

Dave looks like a Jeff Dunham puppet

 

[Joshyjosh31]

He hasn’t been involved on offense because he hasn’t particularly tried to get involved on offense.

Was that the first possession of the game he had a wide open 8 footer and passed it to Lyle’s who was surrounded by a sea of nuggets
