[Game] Kings @ Jazz, 3/20/2022 6pm Pacific 9pm Eastern

[SLAB]

Kings defensive strategy “Run to everyone. Except when they’re about to shoot. Then don’t anymore.”

 

[The_Jamal]

Fox giving a superstar effort here to keep us alive.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Omg we can’t guard anyone even our so called ace d can’t guard his guy

Kings defensive strategy “Run to everyone. Except when they’re about to shoot. Then don’t anymore.”

And again.

 

[Kingz19]

Kris Dunn, come on guys

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Kellser with two bad d possessions in a row. Put Murray back in

 

[Hoovtrain]

let’s get this thing down to 12-15 or so going into half

 

[LoungeLizard]

Dunn just smoked Kessler

 

[MizzouKing]

I’m not worried yet…. 17 points is basically a rounding error if our offense comes online.

 

[iowamcnabb]

If that drive happened on Keegan fans would be talking about how bad his defense is.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

If we can get anywhere near 10 at the half it will be a minor miracle.

 

[SLAB]

Like. I don’t get our defensive strategy. We’re always chasing. There’s always a guy open. It’s always bad. I don’t get what they’re going for.

Is it that the team is strictly composed of terrible defenders or is there really a system Brown believes there?

 

[206Fan]

We can easily come back if we start playing a little bit of D and get out of our slump. This is not a good Utah team...

It didn’t take long for whoever to get called out with a passive aggressive “So called ace”

Talent *should* eventually take over. We just need this to be getable at half. 12-15 points

I'm guessing this is Mike Brown's best defensive game plan for a personnel that has defensive shortcomings.

This is a good test. The Kings have found it very hard to get too far down this year and come back all the way and getting stops when you go down by 20+ is mandatory.

Might just be tired road legs too. Kings have looked super lethargic on both ends. Usually even if the defense is bad, they offense is still humming as normal.

Not a good excuse, but it's team-wide right now.

25th in net rating, 28th in EFG%. Probably time so start looking at something just for the sake of why not, what's the worst that can happen? haha.

Na I’m a fan of Kessler but I don’t think Keegan gets the same treatment on defense from fans and brown occasionally

 

[Kingz19]

Pathetic

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Just bad bad shot selection all around. Can’t get any stops either.

 

[Hoovtrain]

welp so much for that

 

[SLAB]

Lyles has been especially abysmal. Not usual for him.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Ok ok, how bout 15??

 

[206Fan]

They look unmotivated out there

 

[SLAB]

Ok ok, how bout 15??

I’m thinking it’s not happening tonight.

 

[The_Jamal]

Every player on the Kings outside of that Fox has been especially abysmal. Not usual for him.

Bad shot selection, bad defense. We're just getting beat everyhwere. We're a step behind on defense and they're a step ahead on defense.

Hey, Keon Ellis simply existed when he was out there. Second best player of the night by default.
