[Game] Kings @ Indiana Pacers, 2/2/2024, 4:30p PT/7:30p ET

[Caccia]

Edwards causing havoc.

I have been waiting all season to see this! Mike Brown moans and bitches about his team's defense, how short they are, the lack of intensity, and he has Kessler Edwards glued to the bench for all but five of forty-six games.

 

[Caccia]

Does anyone attack the rim with one hand, two hands so furiously as Monk? Maybe the Ant?

I bet he takes the All-Star snub of his best friend...personally.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

I am perplexed why Edwarda hasn’t gotten more playing time this year, he makes a def impact and has good length

The only thing that makes sense is Monte is taking the first half or so of this year to either showcase or evaluate our pieces, and that a decision to keep Kessler long term has already been made. Let's just make sure we get into the playoffs. For us, to be honest, the seed doesn't really matter, because we were never going to be a top two seed. anywhere from 3-7 is roughly the same because you'll still probably have to beat the best team in the West to advance. So I think Monte thinks we could actually afford to showcase/evaluate. A fan's timeline is one year. Monte's timeline is more like 5-7 years.

Wilt had 227 double doubles in a row.

Franchise record I meant , sorry

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kings going with the give the ball to whoever is being guarded by Buddy strategy.

The Mark™.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Fox’s defense has been on point!

 

[sono]

Swipa swipin'!

That was nasty like a falcon performs the stoop.

 

[sono]

Hali is good, makes shots so easy.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Keegan and Kessler have the potential to be two top ten wing defenders in the NBA.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

They've allowed Siakam to truck Barnes with impunity tonight.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Wilt had 227 double doubles in a row.

The dude could practically do that on one leg

 

[Capt. Factorial]

So now the defender is allowed to hang on the rim while we're shooting? Sheesh.

 

[Tetsujin]

Tyrese out here coughing the ball up every other possession like he’s Buddy Hield or something

 

[coolhandluke]

Tyrese not up to game speed yet. Pacers might be better off with TJ today.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

GIMME DAT ****!

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Kings definitely read my comments about mental softness. You're welcome for the bulletin board material Coach Christie!

 

[coolhandluke]

Sabonis a man out there among boys.

 

[gunks]

I feel like we somehow got the Pacers to absorb our sloppy anti-mojo

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

I like that timeout right there.

 

[BenchMob]

I hope we can see Kessler in the 4th

 

[Caccia]

I hope we can see Kessler in the 4th

We should. We have a lead, the team needs defense.

 

[gunks]

I feel like we somehow got the Pacers to absorb our sloppy anti-mojo

I take it back, both teams are sloppy

 

[BenchMob]

ok Malik make your FTs please....

 

[ick300]

Well one thing which is already happened - we did not wait for another 15 games for HB to make a good game

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Barnes in SI mode:

 

[Capt. Factorial]

That is 100% a transition take foul if Lyles' was

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Kessler Edwards is going to win us this game with defense over the next four minutes.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Barnes in SI mode:

Noooooobody expects the Sports Illustrated Torquemada Issue!

 

[Tetsujin]

Buddy asked his coaches to challenge the foul and they straight up said no to his face lol
