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

[Kingz19]

Terrible defense and turnovers

decent shape considering.

 

[Tetsujin]

Refs just sorta letting the Nuggets get a way with a lot of dumb contact.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

All that to be right back where they started. SMH.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Omg derozen is a dam ballhog man!

 

[iowamcnabb]

well that ended about how it should have. We were dominated for the most part, enough hot shooting kept us in. We are getting cooked by role players. Not sure how we adjust given our injuries

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Can't spell "floor burn" without "foul" unless you're a ref, I guess

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

DeRozan needs to accept he doesn’t have it tonight. Move the ball brother.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

DeRozan needs to accept he doesn’t have it tonight. Move the ball brother.

He needs to accept he's not freaking Jordan. His shot selection is pathetic. He playing hero ball when no hero is needed. Pass the ball!

 

[SacTownKid]

This might be a night where on paper it doesn't matchup, but Carter, Keon, and LaVine should be tested again if this starts heading sideways. Carter is the only player with Keegan out that can guard on the ball and actually physically impede penetration to the rim with his body.

 

[coolhandluke]

Not enough defense or offense. We want Zach the aggressive scorer (especially from the three) not the passer.

We miss Keegan badly on defense. When is he expected back?

 

[jphilip]

This is a fun game to be fair

Keegan is day to day. The good thing is it's starting to look like the Kings are in good shape for 9 so at this point, let him sit and rest up.

 

[Kingz19]

Sigh

 

[Tetsujin]

Keegan is day to day. The good thing is it's starting to look like the Kings are in good shape for 9 so at this point, let him sit and rest up.

Yeah, with all due respect to the national TV audience, the Kings aren’t necessarily playing for anything tonight aside from not having anyone get injured.

 

[SacTownKid]

Well, they certainly aren't following Jerry's plan. Every player is standing around looking at Jokic, not even pressuring, just looking.

 

[gunks]

Bench Deebo for McBuckets dang it!

 

[Kingz19]

Kings still don’t have a player in double figures

 

[Letsgokings13]

dude pass the ball.

 

[Tetsujin]

Also the Kings are playing without half their rotation

 

[Joshyjosh31]

We’re ninth not first there’s no such thing as nothing to play for when you’re a play-in team should be looking to get better every game

 

[Kingz19]

Well, they certainly aren't following Jerry's plan. Every player is standing around looking at Jokic, not even pressuring, just looking.

they need Kayte to give a 5 minute monologue to help them “understand the reality” of not following the keys to the game.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Them playing Mystikal in the arena continues to ick me out.

 

[Elektrik]

Why is Jerry Reynolds’s on? Is Kayte sick?

 

[Kingz19]

Why is Jerry Reynolds’s on? Is Kayte sick?

she’s at some watch party. Her husbands on some TV show

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Who the **** is pickett

 

[Tetsujin]

Keon just sagging completely off his guy to try and play the passing lanes for some reason. Disgusting defense going on right now.

 

[Sherds]

Lazy pass by Keon

 

[Elektrik]

she’s at some watch party. Her husbands on some TV show

Ahhh ok. Survivor. Hubby Joe is on the show.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Pickett has one game all season with 4 threes. Now he has 2

 

[SacTownKid]

Keon just sagging completely off his guy to try and play the passing lanes for some reason. Disgusting defense going on right now.

I think teams are figuring Keon out a bit. Since he doesn't play straight forward in a seated defensive stance, teams are waiting for Keon to come out and then blowing right by him since he plays more at an angle. He'll never be a legit lockdown defender playing that way, he's more of a pest/disruptor. This is why he, Carter, and Keegan should be getting minutes together. They all kind of cover eachothers deficiencies.
