Part of the problem with Fox out who rebounds well but more important, I think Brown went small without using Murray.Posted similar data before the first Miami game. Part of the reason I shrug off most of "the defense is the same" posts here.
HOWEVER, defensive rebounding was horrible in Miami and yeah that final shot stunk but we gave up way too many second chances after we took that 7 point lead, it was like they got 3 shots on every possession.
No Fox hurt, especially based on his performance vs. Herro in the first game. Not that he wasn't defended so well he had to travel to get the game winning bucket, but I bet Fox could have got an extra stop or two.Part of the problem with Fox out who rebounds well but more important, I think Brown went small without using Murray.
This stat discrepancy is probably explained in part based on who our opponents were. Hopefully by regression to the mean we'll see the fruits of the labor paying off as we hit teams that are not quite as accurate.If Luke were still here, maybe we could use The Force.
This matches the eye test. Hand in the face…but doesn’t matter. Over and over. Makes me feel like there were two ancient burial grounds in Sac and we just moved to the other one.

A number were long rebounds too, so you know Fox may have gotten to 2 of them and changed the game.Those 13 rebounds of Fox in the prior Miami game were sorely missed.

Anomaly or undersized defenders?
To be clear the chart is actually not about the contested 3s.
That chart shows our opponents are hitting wide open threes 10% higher than the next team below them. Prior to the first Miami game, teams were hitting open 3s 20% higher than the league average in the 2021-2022 season. By rough guess it looks like it's down to 55% now, while the league average is around 40%. On open looks. We are giving up 5 fewer than the next team over (one of which is only seeing those looks fall at 35%).
This despite the fact the team was giving up the lowest amount of uncontested 3pt attempts in the league which you think would indicate less chances to "get hot".
Valid, and while my gut says it hasn’t overwhelmingly been a size thing so far this season (just dudes on ridiculous heaters), I could be wrong. Would love the data.Hand in the face of a player how many inches taller, or how much quicker though? I'd be interested to see the matchups. The Kings have been running more smaller guard units again this season. Size matters when you are expected to run out to the perimeter and attack spot shooters or if you are defending a bigger shooter 1 on 1 and rather than attacking the dribble you play it straight up and contest. Herro easily got pull up looks over Davion when he was on him.
Bring back Boogie just for the immense angst it would cause a certain portion of the fan base.
Let's sign Boogie so that we can trade him again!Bring back Boogie just for the immense angst it would cause a certain portion of the fan base.

He's not the same.Aldridge actually sounds good for offensives
What the Kings really need though, is a more athletic power forward off the bench that can score…kinda like Metu, but ya know, better
He's not the same.
