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

[Kingz19]

I guess Adelman was a covert Pickett fanboy too.

Russ only 10 minutes

 

[Kingz19]

Layups all day and if they happen to miss one, Kings aren’t getting the board

 

[Tetsujin]

Joker with some real foul merchanting going

 

[Tetsujin]

Joker complained his way into Adelman challenging the call but DeMar certainly didn’t end up falling sideways to the floor on his own. Probably on Braun though.

 

[NewArena]

Feels good to not necessarily need this one. We're a little decimated right now so it would be nice to at least get one of our rotation players back smh Dallas is going to be tough

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

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.

The issue is that they don't currently match up well on offense

 

[NewArena]

Praying for an epic comeback. Maybe our former Bulls will go crazy in the final quarter lol

 

[Hoovtrain]

When lavine isn’t on a heater he’s worthless out there

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I had thought that Jonas was a more capable 3pt shooter. Hasn't looked decent

Counterpoint: if you force the other team into a hundred live-ball turnovers, you don't really have to be "good" at offense.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

When lavine isn’t on a heater he’s worthless out there

Yeah, doesn't help anyone else get going and doesn't do the little things. Along with low effort on defense

 

[iowamcnabb]

he has 8 assists

 

[Caccia]

Since the game is on ESPN, I am unable to watch. They are still in striking distance, though. It would help if DeRozan or someone got hot.

Why does Sabonis only have two assists?

If LaVine and DeMar are playing this way anyway, it really shouldn't matter. The other night, Carter, Keon, and LaVine looked really good together so with Keegan as a spacer and Domas that's about as well balanced a unit as you can get on both ends.

Lavine has been the primary facilitator tonight

 

[Hoovtrain]

lol ok

 

[iowamcnabb]

lol ok

So you don’t think setting up guys for buckets is doing something? Got it

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Gotta win the non-Joker minutes to have a chance.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

DeRozan finally gets to the line, and misses the free throw. You hate to see it.

 

[iowamcnabb]

it’s a Library in the arena tonight. Gotta get the energy up

 

[Hoovtrain]

So you don’t think setting up guys for buckets is doing something? Got it

Totally . Like watching a guy conduct a symphony tonight

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Six point swing

 

[Sherds]

Zach looks so unstoppable at times, and can get to the basket at will with his speed. Makes it harder to understand why he goes missing for long stretches

 

[iowamcnabb]

Make the run now

 

[Caccia]

Dr. DeRozan makes a house call.

 

[Sherds]

I had thought that Jonas was a more capable 3pt shooter. Hasn't looked decent

LOL, was thinking the same. I remember few years ago with the pels (maybe memphis?) he shot like 7/8 vs the clippers

 

[Hoovtrain]

Jfc

 

[Hoovtrain]

Brutal

 

[Kingz19]

I think they called the foul on the peoples elbow Dougie landed going for the ball

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Sabonis not getting his customary offensive rebounds, and refs are not on our side at all tonight
