[Game] Kings @ Grizzlies, 11/22/2022 5pm Pacific 8pm Eastern

I'm going to choose to believe that gutting out a tough win instead of coasting or going to OT will help us win our back to back game in Atlanta tomorrow. Keep the spirits high, keep the streak going, and (hopefully) get some sleep.

So when was last time we won 7 in a row? I’m assuming the same time the 6 was because nobody has talked about 7

They just said 6700 some odd days, so yeah it's probably the same stretch. Because that's still under 20 years. Also 7 games I think they said 7 times in Sacramento era.

Do free-throws win Championships??

4 steals - very nice....

 

[206Fan]

I hate piling up on Keegan, but he's been playing awful. Almost borderline-Lyles where if he's not making his 3pt shots, he's not really doing much elsewhere.

He looks very lost on both ends of the floor.

We only need to win 1 out of the next 3 and it will be considered a successful road trip...Hopefully we will get the win sooner than later

 

[KingsFanSince85]

It looked like he got underneath him on the way down. At any rate, I would have fouled before the shot, to avoid that chance

Nah, it wasn’t a foul. At all.

If that’s a foul — then pretty much every single play is a foul. Call them all. Let’s turn these games into a free throw contest.

Yes.

The goal of the game is to score by 1 or more points against your opponent.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Super impressive

That is a positive way to spin it, but the 4th quarter is the one that matters most. Got some work to do, to close games against tough teams

You better believe it.....ask the 2001-2002 team

Yep was 04. We had a 7 game streak in 04 and 6 in 05. Both same season though. I am working on the last time we had 8

Grit and Shine

 

[Woot!]

Kings still playing 5 vs 8?

Definitely some head-scratchers.

Call me crazy, but at this point I wouldn't leave the game in the officials hands if given an alternative.....which is to foul before the 3.

Atlanta will actually try to outscore (read out-offense) the Kings I think.....totally different game - and they might. But that's tomorrow.

 

[cwebb2002]

Light that ish!

 

[The_Jamal]

Screw it. Kings beat a team that they don’t matchup well with because of their ability to be physical. Yeah, the refs let these guys be more physical than we can ever hope to be. They beat these guys on the road in a muddied up game. That in itself is impressive

And they did it with that defensive performance in the 3rd quarter. Certainly need to clean up the slop at the end of the 4th there, but they played damn good basketball for 40 minutes tonight vs a quality opponent on the road and got the W.

He looks very lost on both ends of the floor.

The games are getting intense and he's being sped up. It's throwing his game off.

He's a smooth player, but he will have to pick up the tempo just a bit and learn to play at that pace.

 

[sactowndog]

I actually think that was a good call. Looked like Fox landed in his shooting space.

Now if the roles were reversed, I'm not sure we get that call, but hey

it was the right call. Why Brown didn’t bother challenging it. He saved his challenge and then never used it.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

That is a positive way to spin it, but the 4th quarter is the one that matters most. Got some work to do, to close games against tough teams

Apparently not. Because they won that game in the 3rd quarter by building up a big enough lead. So who’s really spinning things here?

And they just closed out a game against a tough team. No matter how they got it done. It happened.

Was the 03-04 season. Not gonna get much past those the early 2000’s with win streaks until get get over 10

 

[Ozymandias]

Do free-throws win Championships??

They certainly do. Thats how Dwyane Wade got the nickname "D-Whistle"

 

[Woot!]

Super impressive

And the bench showed out in the third.

 

[KainLear]

Man, when Keegan finds his game, we're gonna kill people.

We just gotta be more warmed up to start the game, we missed a whole buncha wide open shots in the first 2 quarters, Keegan included.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Do free-throws win Championships??

They certainly can, for a team that is good enough to get there and have a chance

 

[kingdivac]

Yep was 04. We had a 7 game streak in 04 and 6 in 05. Both same season though. I am working on the last time we had 8

12 game winning streak with 02 team

 

[KainLear]

VF21 would've loved to know how consistently brilliant Fox is.
