[Game] Kings @ Los Angeles Lakers, 3/6/2024, 7:30p PT/10:30p ET

OK, this is the gamble now. Brown goes with the 3 small G's which last year was TERRIBLE. Maybe this will reverse the curse.

 

[SacTownKid]

Brown better be ready to pull the plug on this unit if this gets much worse.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

We held the Bulls under 40% in 3 points shot, not so easy to happen for a 2nd match in a row, especially if you leave them open...again

Except the Kings didn't so much "hold" the Bulls under 40 percent as their usual defensive scheme is to concede shots that the Bulls don't reliably hit. The gd lakers are way better at those shots.

Wouldn’t say we held them.

They shot under 40 percent mostly because Caruso missed all 6 of his wide open corner threes.

Their other starters cooked from three. It was still open threes all game for them.

 

[SacTownKid]

Keon in, note to Brown, the 3 small G lineup is still a disaster. Whoops!

 

[Hoovtrain]

Think I got better things to do than watch this crap

Jinx! You owe me a Coke!

Except I don't drink Coke, though... I'll take a Squirt.

 

[macadocious]

Just look at that D that Keon is playing.

 

[SLAB]

It’s too early to rage. This team tends to recover from super early sleepwalks. But man, I don’t enjoy much anything about this team. It kind of sucks.

 

[SacTownKid]

And any debate about Keon is just about getting smashed to bits, lol. Dude comes in, dude adds a little size and defense.

 

[Sluggah]

Signs of life

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Good strong close. More of that, please and thank you.

 

[gunks]

Foxy cuts it to single digits, it was looking like one of those "turn it off in disgust" nights earlier but I'll... sigh...stick around and see what happens

 

[chief bromden]

I think its time to give Keon all of Davion's minutes

 

[SacTownKid]

For real, Brown completely crapped the bed at the start of this one. But thank goodness he's a guy that won't stop searching. The Kings have had too many coaches in the past that will just keep banging their head against the same rock.

 

[SacTownKid]

I think its time to give Keon all of Davion's minutes

One thing about Keon that has to change is clearly we need to see more minutes of Fox/Monk next to Keon. Davion has been playing well lately but Brown saw yet again why Davion is a selective choice when it comes to playing next to Fox and Monk.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Love that foul from Len.

 

[captain bill]

Keon already earning that new contract money

 

[Tetsujin]

Love that foul from Len.

Lebron still only a couple of seasons from vanishing in a puff of dust after one of those hard fouls.

 

[SacTownKid]

Yeah, Keon with Fox and Monk? Might have found a little something here coach.

 

[forza kings]

Keon brought the team back single handedly.

I'm sorry bro, but even if Davion's shooting numbers have been better lately, he's just not as impactful as Keon. I've seen enough. I'm rooting for Davion but it just ain't that great.

 

[megapoxy]

Divac the "ambassador" or what's his title, was in Lakers last match, and now has his signed ball auctioned for the Lakers.

 

[SacTownKid]

Keon brought the team back single handedly.

Next phase is testing out the Keon/Keegan combo. Yes, supreme defense could be sight? haha.

Yeah. I think the thing that makes playing Davion next to Fox and Monk hard is that Davion and Monk can’t really guard up whereas when Keon is in, he and Fox can hold their own on most wings and let Monk play against the lead guard.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kings got lucky as **** on that one. But, as a great philosopher once said, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

 

[SacTownKid]

I'm sorry bro, but even if Davion's shooting numbers have been better lately, he's just not as impactful as Keon. I've seen enough. I'm rooting for Davion but it just ain't that great.

No doubt and the fact that Keon can actually swing G/F is all that needs to be said about things. Davion is a scoring PG/SG, not a 4 position guy. He's just not and really shouldn't have to be.

 

[SacTownKid]

Yeah. I think the thing that makes playing Davion next to Fox and Monk hard is that Davion and Monk can’t really guard up whereas when Keon is in, he and Fox can hold their own on most wings and let Monk play against the lead guard.

And Keon has more skills as a true scoring G. Davion off the ball doesn't really do anyone any good.

 

[kingdivac]

Use your left arm Len to block someone moving right!!!

 

[SacTownKid]

And.... now Davion is guarding a player nearly a foot taller.
