Difference between a contender and a pretender. I’m starting to put this s*** on coach now. You gotta make sure your guys are prepared

Referees suck in this game. Porzinga has been impeding progress all game long and never call a foul on him. That was one of the keys to Boston advantage. You would think they call that a foul when player are being aggressive and when the Kings are playing at home...but they swallow their whistle. Tough to win when the referees are constantly screwed up calls.
Eff that. Boston is good but they're not +26 points better than us good. We're playing like trash. The guys need to start playing with pride on defense. Forget the score for now and just focus on stopping them one possession at a time. That's how we get back in this game.

Exactly. It's not hard to put some blame on the refs at all

It’s the talent, not the coach. We’re just not built elite in the current build.

Celtics were so pissed off that Zinger actually decided to try playing through minor pain for once.

Maybe the kings lack of defense?

This is where Brown needs to stand up for his team then. Be more vocal. Get a T to make the point that we deserve respect too. We should have more than 1 T based on what everyone is saying
I wouldn't say that the Kings are pretenders. They are still a developing team only in their second year of playing winning basketball. A lot will depend on Murray being able to reach his fullest potential and what other moves the Kings make to improve the team.

I agree that some blame goes to the refs, but we would still be losing by a fair amount........ I HATE Boston, but I respect how good they are as a team........

Well, the Kings got some rest, and the C's burned up their starters a bit so maybe a comeback in the 4th is on the table.

Celtics legs could give out in the fourth! Don't give up!

I would have put McGee in in the second quarter.

Yeh I want to see them get back in this. Have enough pride to not lose by 20 on your home court. I don’t think we would win this even if we were playing well, Boston is just on one. Still, show some fight and get it to under 15

Not only did they play last night, but it was also an overtime game. They expended a ton of energy last night.
No excuses here. This is pathetic. I’ve seen a few too many of these crap games this year. 40 point blowouts.

At this point if we can get the lead down to single digits, Boston might collapse from the weight of potentially blowing huge leads in back to back games. We're only a 14 point run away from making that happen.

It's time to trade Barnes and Huerter. Often time, Barnes disappeared in the starting lineup. Now, I understand the offense doesn't go through him and that leave him standing most of the time...but YOU HAVE GOT TO contribute in some way, rebound, defense, block shots...SOMETHING. But he doesn't do any of that...you don't often see him do any of those things. This is why the Kings have a glaring weakness in team defense. You have Fox and Keegan playing strong defense but everyone else is are just meh. Hell, I bet even Vezenkov is more active than Barnes when he's on the court.

Kings doing a horrendous job of supporting McGee's attempts to protect the rim.

They could get blown out in a couple of games and still win a 7 game series

And that might do it.
