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

we were down like 100 so I haven't turned it off yet please don't waste my time. Brown hopefully got some fire in the halftime speech.

Walker Kessler is so good. He single handily took Sabonis completely out of the game in the 1st half.

 

[The_Jamal]

Davion finish that....

But that was a good last 8 minutes of the 2nd quarter. The previous 16 minutes though was probably the worst basketball the Kings have played all season by a good margin.

 

[iowamcnabb]

About as bad as we can play but with our offense we are not out of it

 

[SacTownKid]

Early in the 3rd will probably determine if this is a cross it off the list and prep for tomorrow game.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Damn I can here Brown screaming from Vacaville

 

[Kingz19]

7 points from the bench.

Twolves really traded 5 FRP and a pile of quality role players for Rudy Gobert for Kessler to end up as 80% Rudy Gobert in his rookie season. Classic all-time fumble.

if the kings are still down by 20 or more by the end of the 3rd, would like to see brown pull the starters and prep for tomorrow

I agree but Brown has shown in pretty limited sample size he will ride the main horses til nearly the end.

Thank goodness they did. Wolves was starting to become good

If it's within reach, but if they blip out again I'm sure he'll call it. The next actual test against a legit contender is the next one. I'm sure the Kings were thinking about the next game at the start of this one.

 

[The_Jamal]

If anyone wanted a perfect example of why individual game +/- is a horrible stat.

Kessler Edwards is somehow +2 in nearly 14 minutes. He was just as bad as the rest of the team.

 

[Woot!]

16 pts on 7 shots by HB. Nice.

You know what I'm LOVING about this team? They were playing like dookie, down 25, on the road to a solid Utah team - and I look at those guys and think, DAMN, they *believe* they can win this. And of course they can. But they totally believe it.

That's sweet.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

There is no way they are worse than Katie and Kenny

At least Kayte and Kenny show emotion, I’ve watched close and intense Jazz games where their commentators are completely lifeless and super monotone.

I don't want to "Like" this, but I'll +1 it haha

Hopefully Sabonis answers back next half.

Yeah, and in this type of game it's basically a useless stat since Brown was letting the wheel of fortune determine his rotations at one point, lol.

 

[New Era]

Felt like I got in a time machine and it's 2 years ago again

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.

Also, Salt Lake City is at 4200 feet altitude.

 

[iowamcnabb]

It take a ton of mental fortitude to not let off the gas for matchups like this. It’s a subconscious thing and kinda hard to overcome.

I’d like to see them put in Len and Holmes, then crash the glass every other possession. We need guys who are rested and hungry.

 

[The_Jamal]

There we go Keegan, good start.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I'd like to see Murray get about 4 more 3 pointers so he doesn't have to push too hard to set the record in games that might matter.

 

[iowamcnabb]

The big biscotti needs to miss

 

[SLAB]

Kessler godawful pass then ignore the guy with the ball because it’s more important to collapse into the paint. Awesome.

 

[The_Jamal]

Nice Edwards! Didn't let THT bully himself to the rim gets him with the big block

 

[iowamcnabb]

Feed Domas!

 

[The_Jamal]

I'm not sure what that Kelly O possession was, but there's no way it was legal lol

 

[iowamcnabb]

Ha!

 

[Kingz19]

lol
