[Game] Boston Celtics @ Sacramento Kings, 12/20/2023, 7:00pm PST/10:00pm EST

Are the Kings last in the league in the free throw shooting? or 2nd to last?

 

[SacTownKid]

The Kings offense since the 2nd quarter has been suffering. The Kings are pretty easy to figure out, if they score 25 or less in a quarter it's going to be an uphill battle.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Anyone think the Celtics are worried about "embarrassing us" right now? No. Because that's what championship level teams do.

We will never win a title until we are trying to grind opponents to dust even with huge leads.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Dumb foul.

 

[NewArena]

KP should have fouled out in the first quarter. He is allowed to bump every single player on the ball.

We'd win 60 games if Sabonis and Fox got the calls they deserve on offense, and got away with the BS every other teams get do to us on the defensive end. Is no one confused about this??

 

[iowamcnabb]

How is that a foul?

 

[Tetsujin]

Dude gets the big and slow guy discount.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Just plain not a foul on Fox there.

 

[Kingz19]

Yeah, Celtics just own the Kings. Basically the Kings don’t matchup with any of the top 3 East teams at all. Milwaukee probably the best but we always lose to them too.

Thankfully we only see them twice.

 

[Tetsujin]

Zinger also allowed to whine and yell at the refs every single possession while Keon got a tech earlier for existing.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Well this is the same Boston team that blew a 17-point lead last night so let's see if the guys can bring the hustle.

hard to blame the refs when u're down so big.. so what if we got a few more calls.. we'll be down by 18 instead of 24?

Unfortunately our opinion is not unbiased

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

the Kings look tired from trying to keep up with the Celtics. I know most already know this, but The Celtics are just on a completely different level than the Kings....They have such an amazing record for a reason...........Hopefully in 2 or 3 years the Kings can reach that level if they make some good moves in the off-season.........

Stupid calls also kill momentum

 

[Kingz19]

He was questionable coming in

I know he was , but did they say with what?

 

[LoungeLizard]

Must be nice to use challenges to get calls overturned your way

 

[Tizzy Flip]

I've noticed in interviews that the Kings players tend to assume that everybody plays down on the 2nd of a back to back. You can't have that in your mind for yourself or your opponent

Definitely think that’s part of it. It’s a mentality that the elite level teams don’t have. Or they can afford to take some nights off (like Tatum taking off) since they’re so good they can afford to. We can’t think like that until we start winning some playoff series

 

[iowamcnabb]

White and Zinger are 16-20 from the field and 8-10 from 3

 

[Tetsujin]

Momentum of the game would be completely different though. Zinger called fairly is already parked on the bench with foul trouble, leaving Neemy to fend for himself against Sabonis.

Yesterdays game against the warriors was much better. This Is boring as hell.

That's not how it works in basketball. Basketball is a dynamic game of momentum and runs. If bad calls consistently keep the momentum with one team, it can result in a big lead, as opposed to being within striking distance. With fair officiating we're probably looking at an 8-10 point Celtic lead right now.

This statement makes me think you have never played the game.

Yeah every blowout peope say that, just deal with it

 

[LoungeLizard]

The missed FTs are out of control

 

[Kingz19]

Will every Kings loss this season be a blowout?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Are the Kings last in the league in the free throw shooting? or 2nd to last?

Well, the Nuggets and Raptors are tied for last, so... yes?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Great pass by Ellis

 

[fansinceday1]

Hard to believe this team played last night AND is missing it’s best player

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

Yesterdays game against the warriors was much better. This Is boring as hell.

That's because the Kings are playing one of the top teams in the NBA.......True it should be closer but got to expect this when the team we are playing is so much better than we are.......
