[Game] Hawks vs Kings 11/18/2024, 7pm PST 10pm EST

We also turned the ball over countless times, didn't want to shoot out there, had the two guys who where suppost to step it up shoot like crap and overall just didn't play well. We started off down 20 at home. You think we deserved to win, nevermind the trash refs, witch was so bad I don't even want to think about

I think it's hard to win when 3 people have so much power to determine the pace of the game, award free possessions as they see fit, remove key players from eligibility, and arbitrarily decide not just game by game but minute by minute how much physical contact is going to be allowed for each team. Even if you believe that Dyson Daniels did not foul Fox on that last play, is there anyone who watched that game who thinks that's a no call on the other end? This is a serious problem that the NBA league office continues to pretend doesn't exist. And the NBA embracing sports gambling full force as a revenue stream under Adam Silver's leadership only makes the lack of accountability on officiating even more glaring.

Stop. Refs deserved to get their arse chewed at that moment. I just wish it was Coach Brown getting the tech instead of Fox.

I'm not saying they didn't. But should have happened earlier. Hurt way too much at that point to give up a 3 and a tech with less than 4 min left in game

 

[reptilexcq2]

Huerter for whatever reason is always terrible against his former team. If you didn't know better he's probably wearing a hawks jersey under that kings jersey lol.

Trade his ***. I am tired of this team continue believing in him. He's useless when you need him the most. His shots is always inconsistent. You can tell it's not even close. Good shooters tend to have the ball slightly off but Huerter's shots are way off...this mean he ain't a good shooter.

 

[Double-K]

I use to think there was too much complaining about the refs. Now we don’t complain much and they still don’t get the benefit. What does this team have to do to get some respect from the refs?????

Until we hoist the Larry O'Brien... even then I don't know if we could turn the table completely.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Because we are not located in Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, New York...

We wasn't in those cities in 2002 03 ect and our home court was amazing. It's getting worse now

Yeah. Replace Fox with Trae Young. What's the call?

We are going to trade him. But we need his value up higher. I guarantee he won't be on the team come end of season

How did you define "amazing"? If it was amazing before, we would've hoist that damn trophy back in 2002 and not fouling Kobe's damn elbow with our face.

 

[Caccia]

I can’t blame Fox for that tech he got. He got thrown down right in front of the ref with NOTHING! That’s why I think Fox just walked off the floor. He was about to lose it and I wouldn’t have blamed him one bit.

You can't watch a player manhandle and throw down the opposing team's star, mute your whistle, and then award that team the winning technical free throw.

But they did. The Kings should protest this one. They have 48 hours.

 

[Tetsujin]

This clip should be playing on the Jumbotron in G1C in perpetuity. Just as relevant today as it was when the refs tried to eject Boogie for his mouthpiece falling out.

Didn’t even notice Daniels stepped out of bounds lmaooo I’m not even mad at this one. Get healthy and crush these garbage teams

Just like Randle's winning-3, they'll just come out and tell you, "yeah that was the wrong call" and walk away laughing.

Excuse me, amazing till playoffs. My fault

 

[KF8]

I think we expect to much of Keegan. He is a 3 & D that’s it and right now he is just the D. Keegan is a role player not a star. The sooner we accept that the better off we are as fans

I've accepted this notion since last year. His glaring weakness of shaky handles and making plays just isn't on par with a star. Who knows? He could still improve in that area, but it doesn't look promising at the moment. That being said I'm very confident his shot will come back and a very good 3 and D guy is stiil very valuable.

 

[Tetsujin]

Or Tatum‘s travel on his game winner the night before that one that they also had to apologize for lol

 

[iowamcnabb]

I’ve watched it in slow mo 10 times now. It looks like he got the ball or hand so it appears it was a good steal. Fox didn’t seem upset about it either so it’s probably right. Reallly risky play on his part to be poking around looking for a steal in that situation. To his credit he never took his eyes off the ball and he came away with it.

i thought we got screwed a bunch on calls earlier of the ticky tac variety though. The shooting is a bit misleading as we had to nail a bunch in a row to pull out of that huge early deficit. Atlanta shot well pretty much all game.

People are slamming Keegan tonight but I thought he generally played well outside of those early turnovers and the fouls were ridiculous.

 

[Double-K]

Excuse me, amazing till playoffs. My fault

Our atmosphere in either arenas were amazing. I don't think I would ever, EVER say the Kings ever had a fair whistle.

Maybe back when they were in Kansas City, I would hope.

maybe Pat just has a ”getting boo’ed out of stadiums” fetish?

Murray

I've accepted this notion since last year. His glaring weakness of shaky handles and making plays just isn't on par with a star. Who knows? He could still improve in that area, but it doesn't look promising at the moment. That being said I'm very confident his shot will come back and a very good 3 and D guy is stiil very valuable.

So Murray is Rashad Lewis

 

[Double-K]

Capt is right. This league is more and more like a joke. People's jobs are tied with team's records and we let these joker refs play "who's who" all day long and it's getting worse and worse. What does the league do? Ban those who openly criticize them. We tie player's contract with All-Star appearances which for more than a decade has been a popularity contest. If they put Kobe and Yao Ming's names on the ballot they'd still get picked to play the All-Star Game.

They just want all these small market teams for their money, they don't really want them to be relevant whatsoever.

4 pt swing there maybe 6 if Fox was put on the line. it's ridiculous.

 

[forza kings]

I am sorry but I just don’t like Murray anymore. Not because his threes aren’t falling but the lack of consistent offensive effort, rookie mistakes in his third year some of which is a result of his low basketball IQ, and honestly, he was a much better player in his rookie season. All these can be tolerated if he was an absolute hardnosed defender but he is just an average defender at best. Everyone else tonight did their best.

So the refs are Isreal?

 

[Sam0ah]

Stop. Refs deserved to get their arse chewed at that moment. I just wish it was Coach Brown getting the tech instead of Fox.

This!!!!! Brown plays it cool way to much. He needs to show some emotion for his team. This was the perfect night for him to lose his **** and he didn't do it. I miss Jordi....

He is given the other team's star player most nights and does quite well. Not sure why you think he is average at best?

Thanks for your input.

Murray needs to sit on the bench for a bit to gain perspective but he can’t because Mike has no other player like him. That fact is on Monte who has had an unbalanced line up forever and has instead drafted guards and traded picks.

we simply don’t have another long mobile wing on the roster.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

I disagree, he's a good defender. It's the inconsistent offense that kills me. 4 times today he passed on open 3s for terrible shots or turn overs. Can't do that

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I'm sure Murray could spend some time on the bench a bit if 2 starters and our 6th man were healthy.
