[Game] Brooklyn Nets @ Sacramento Kings, 12/11/2023, 7pm PST/10pm EST

[ShastaKingsFan]

Big time numbers in college, highly ranked prospect, size and athletic ability. A lot of folks were fooled by Bagley's potential. Not that I'm defending Vlade. I hated the pick then and still hate it now.

Always just looked like a run/jump guy for the NBA. Nowhere close to a 2nd pick talent

 

[Tetsujin]

Gooooooood god Keegan with another smothering defensive possession

 

[hrdboild]

Exceptional defense by Murray!

 

[Tetsujin]

Mike Brown really was like “I’m gonna make another Kawhi Leonard”

 

[Kingz19]

Keegan in Bridges head?

 

[Tetsujin]

And ANOTHER ONE by Keegs

 

[The_Jamal]

After that hot shooting start, Fox been very pedestrian. Need better

 

[hrdboild]

Mikal Bridges is going to have nightmares tonight. He hasn't been able to get anything going against our defense.

 

[Tetsujin]

Bridges was so concerned with Keegs that he dribbled riiiight into a double Team

 

[Kingz19]

Kings should be up by so much more

too many turnovers

 

[The_Jamal]

Shout-out Keegan on defense. He's why we're still winning this game, despite just 20 points on 19 shots from Fox and Domas.

 

[Sluggah]

Keegan canceling out Bridges works for me.

A few more of those layups just need to fall, but brooklyn's defense in the interior is tough

 

[Caccia]

Halftime and Keegan Murray has barely broken out a sweat.

They are putting in good contests on Fox, I wish he would kick once in a while.

 

[hrdboild]

I'm not a fan of fast break threes. It's fun if it goes in but when it doesn't that just feels like we're throwing points away. Take the layup.

 

[iowamcnabb]

40ish percent from 2 over 50 from three. Pretty bad around the rim but have to give the nets some credit for that.

Yeah, Fox and Domas need to be better scoring the ball. Getting plenty of help from the ancillary guys, but 20 points on 19 shots is not going to get it done.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Positives:

Defense was excellent, for about 19 and a half minutes.
18 assists on 19 field goals.
Held the Nets without a fast break point in the first half.

Gotta clean up those turnovers and limit the second chance buckets. That appears to be what's keeping Brooklyn in the game right now.

 

[SacTownKid]

Historically the Kings not putting up points is a bad thing, but this game feels kind of like the Nets are about to give up a run here. They seem a little tired. Hopefully the Kings can stamp it at the start of next half and get a run going.

 

[Tetsujin]

Meh, Fox still has another quarter of warmups before he actually shows up for the game.

 

[coolhandluke]

Great defensive half by Keegan. Have to be more aggressive on offense and work on those handles.
Sabonis beasting on the boards as usual. Have to hit those free throws. Monte, can we please get some help for this man to help on rim protection?

Shooting 55% from three and being up only 6 points? Nets getting better shots as the game progressed. Need better defense.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Nets are solid for sure.

 

[Bfreeman]

Rim protection? No worries McGee to the rescue……

Same energy:

Was not able to catch the first half, but it sounds like Keegan locked down Bridges?? Would that be accurate?

 

[Bfreeman]

Yeah he really did especially to close out the 2nd

 

[Tetsujin]

Fox smothers Thomas into a backcourt violation.

 

[The_Jamal]

Oh my god Keegs!
