It’s been a minute since I had to listen to a game. Does Jason Ross always do the the game? How does he do that and then get up at the crack of dawn for a morning show?

 

[forza kings]

I can't believe I'm about to make this observation, but maybe it's time to throw doubles at TJ?

no, one defender would be good enough. Better than current zero defender game.

 

[dude12]

Wow. Refs absolutely can’t have missed the rim grab. One of the 3 had to have seen it. Clearly there is a response to the Brown presser going on by this ref group or one of them.

And our defense sucks too

 

[LoungeLizard]

Disgusting 1st half. Defense is atrocious. Energy and fire missing from this team tonight. Just going through the motions.

 

[joemama]

Why would players like Siakim WANT to come here. It's obvious this team is on the elevator going down.

 

[joemama]

Healthy from what

Rigjt shoulder injury.
He grabs it every game. Whinces all the time. Look how exhausted he is. It's impacting him so many ways.

 

[dude12]

TJ McConnell is a generational PG

 

[MizzouKing]

Hate to say it, but this is where I miss TD or even Metu. Guys who can come out and fight insanity with chaos and dumb luck.

Nope.
Lifetime talent.

No. G-man must be out sick or something. Ross is typically the backup

 

[KF8]

Unfortunately only against the Kings he is lol. His career high is 29 points. Keep a close eye on that.

Gman is calling the game. Ross is just adding bits like scores from other games etc

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I love TJ McConnell. One of the best Wildcats of the Sean Miller era and has my kiddo's name.

Now all I gotta do is hope current TMac remains a Wildcat because it's a similar thing, I couldn't sell my TMac to wear #4 though.

As I wrote on "Comments That Don't Warrant Their Own Thread," Terence Davis tore his Achilles heel on January 4. He will be out a long time.

Last off-season when they did nothing but keep Barnes I knew this would happen. This is the NBA. You can't be stagnant and expect improvement.

 

[gunks]

I hate our team identity so much.

Play zero defense, jack 3s and hope for the best.

Is this JAZZ enough for you, Vivek?!?!

 

[Kingz19]

Oh, yeah. He’s done the game break type stuff for years

 

[Caccia]

Disgusting 1st half. Defense is atrocious. Energy and fire missing from this team tonight. Just going through the motions.

Monk tried to fire up the team with a windmill slam, but clanged it off the rim. It has been that kind of night, so far.

If Fox is really injured, then he needs to stop worrying about his money and sit out. There's been some games where he's hurting the team a lot more than helping.

I'm starting to think he'd rather play injured in these games because he doesn't want to get disqualified from making the All-NBA list. You can't miss more than 17 games.

If he makes the All-NBA team, he's eligible to sign an extension at 67 MILLION/year this year.

 

[Joshoua]

Why not both?

Giving up 70 to a team missing there mvp and other key players and you’re complaining about the lay up. Brown should been the first person to tell them to get the **** to the locker room

 

[pdxKingsFan]

The thing that sucks about 3 hunting is it's also the lowest effort way to get through a game when you're down. Sure if they hit you get in quicker, but when you miss it may as well be sleepwalking til the end.

Honestly not sure how I want to spend my next hour. Probably anything but keeping the game on will be more rewarding at this point but jeeeeez.

Didn't consider the "why," but I hope it's more like he wants to help/play.

I mean we saw just the other night how much 2 points matter when Brown had to get ejected to make a point, team immediately came back from 10 down to lose a heartbreaker on an OT buzzer beater. If Brown didn't need to take two Ts to get a fair game Kings win in regulation.

The Kings have two basic areas that change the game for them. If they aren't hitting 3's and if they are turning the ball over. Today it's the turnovers.

Apropos of nothing, why does Del Taco advertise three grilled chicken tacos for $2.89 on Thursdays, but you can't get that price if you order online? What's the point of having an app if I can't order my food until I get there?

 

[SacTownKid]

OK, stop playing sloppy and wake up fellas.

 

[Tizzy Flip]

How do you give up 70pts to a Pacers team without Tyrese plus three other rotational players??

How do you let TJ McConnell cook you??

Our guards are horrible and can't defend straight up. Our help defense is even worse. Don't know where to rank our non-existent rotations that give up wide open 3s.

Fox is such an ass defender. He hardly puts in the effort unless it's the 4th quarter

For all those people on this board that like to yap about Hali’s defense, I’ve kept repeating we should be the last team criticizing anyone’s D. Our help and rotational defense is awful. We give up 39% from 3, 2nd to last.

We gave up 14 pts to McConnell in the first half. Let that sink in. We gave up 70 pts to a team with Hali, Nembhard, Brown. We’re close to crisis mode if we can’t turn this around in the 2nd half

 

[DynaPamm]

Well here we go into the second half I hope they bring more defense out than the first half. Hueter is really coming out to play at least!

I take it back, the role of TD appears to have been assumed by Kevin Huerter tonight!
