[Game] Kings @ Cleveland Cavaliers, 2/5/2024, 4:00p PT, 7:00p ET

[KF8]

Don't think the kings are playing bad, but just the way the cavs are shooting is just absurd. They'd be up on any team with double digit lead shooting like that.

 

[Woot!]

Our offense is not dynamic because Brown is probably fairly low IQ. I'm tired of pretending otherwise.

Whoa. That's a gratuitously weird and unkind thing to say.

This and extremely one sided reffing.

We can fight our way back into it if either of these factors normalize!

The Cavs hit a lot of tough shots but the Kings defense is as about as hit or miss as you get.

 

[Tetsujin]

More pasta memes and less terrible takes about the reigning unanimous coach of the year?

This might be another game where if there is an answer it's Barnes or Fox creating some contact and yes, actually getting a whistle? For once? lol.

Yep. Definitely can't afford to shoot 36% from 3 yourself on such a night. Cavs have made 5 more 3s on the same number of attempts (22). 44 3 attempts between the two teams.

Whoa. That's a gratuitously weird and unkind thing to say.

While you may think this is an offensive statement - I'm waiting for you to make the argument that Brown is a good offensive coach. Feel free to make that argument - and I expect more than just pointing to numbers. I want substance. The kind of substance we had with Adelman and Carill.

He's done a great job at changing the culture. But his intellectual limitations are becoming very clear by the lack of offensive sophistication in our schemes. Be offended all you want. We have fantastic offensive players - Brown can't make use of them to their maximum.

We're allowed to say players have good BBIQ - or not. We can also say this about coaches. It's not "gratuitously weird" - whatever that even means.

Also - Kayte Christensen is a terrible color announcer.

 

[SacTownKid]

Hopefully a strong start to the 3rd makes a game of this.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Win the quarter by 7 please

 

[gunks]

Just like they drew it up

 

[OptimusRhyme]

lol that murray assist

How about you qualify your own statement before throwing out a jabroni take? "I want substance, not just numbers" What? What substance is he not providing you as an offensive coach? Because on planet earth, he's lead us to the 7th best ORtg ever and the 23rd best ORtg ever this season. Virtually the entire Kings core basically have had career seasons under him. Fox and Domas are All-NBA players under him. Those are facts, not your feeling on the subject.

It's not up to Woot to back up your own bad argument. ? Because all we have to do is point to the scoreboard of the best Kings basketball in 20 years to support our side.

 

[SacTownKid]

Starting to stagnate here. Make up ground, give it back. The Kings are just a mess back in transition when they miss at the rim or quick 3's.

 

[Tetsujin]

Strus of course choosing tonight to have a progression to the mean game after spending a lot of the season looking like he left his stroke in South Beach.

Poor guy took the kb02 route. Started off so strong and then.... poof

He hit 5/9 from 3 the last game vs the kings this season too. Thought maybe the kings got the memo to not leave him open.

Hahahaha

Bro dude man bro I asked for substance and not numbers exactly because I anticipated low effort responses like this. Unfortunately you did did not deliver.

Most of the top 50 offenses of all time have happened in the last 7 years because the game has changed. Our offense of NOT DYNAMIC. Do you know what that means?

 

[Sluggah]

Welp. Gonna need another one of those “keep them from scoring at all“ performances in the 4th

 

[Tetsujin]

Did Luke Walton bust out the celebratory bong on the Cleveland bench during the last timeout?

 

[SacTownKid]

Fox, Barnes, and Domas. This is there game to claw it back.

 

[gunks]

Every time I'm about to turn the game off in disgust these rascally Kings keep it kiiiiinda interesting

 

[The_Jamal]

Honestly, no lead is ever safe. Just scored 8 points in 56 seconds there, cutting it to 13.

 

[KF8]

Is it weird that I feel better about kings playing better when they are down big rather than being up big? lol

 

[captain bill]

That Mitchell dunk felt like it could've been the exclamation point to demoralize the Kings. Props to them for fighting back to get in striking distance

 

[Tetsujin]

*Makes incredibly terrible take*
*Gets defensive when absolutely no one else climbs up on the hill with him*

 

[SacTownKid]

The Cavs are really trying to stop Keegan right now. They're basically playing him in a soft double. There might be the way to attack late in this one.

 

[Woot!]

30 min of basketball played and the Kings remain at ... 1 FT attempt. I don't know that I've ever seen that before.
