Who does Keegan guard in the second half? Kyrie or Luka?

Well he can’t guard Kyrie

 

[Kingster]

If Murray guards Donic he will be fouled out by 4th quarter. Donic is unguardable with these calls. Especially when he’s hitting that back step 3

I've been wondering if Coach was saving him to guard Doncic in the 4th quarter for the reason you mentioned.

 

[Caccia]

Still no sign of Davion Mitchell.

I'm not entirely sure why our plan has been to switch Keegan off Luka so easily. When his huge improvement this season has been insane ball pressure at the POA. Got to go to Keegs and give him a shot to slow him with a few fouls to give.

Mark Jones took the Euro Harden thing as a compliment rather than the diss that CD intended lol

Unrelated question about Mark Jones. He’s missed most of the Kings’ games this year. Was he placed onto the team by the NBA to minimize noise around the replacement of Napear?

Yeah, I agree. The refs have shown us the letter of the law. We're better off using Keegan to check Kyrie and just letting Luka foul out our bench guys.

 

[The_Jamal]

Again, immediately just switch Keegan off Luka with no fight. Why?

 

[The_Jamal]

Ooooo Keegan with a little stampede action. That was nice.

 

[Kingster]

It's one of those things where fans love to see their star players setting the tone by making plays like that, but you're also holding your breath every time.

Fox wants this game. IMO, the chance of Fox getting injured going to the floor on a loose ball is quite a bit less than driving in a lot of traffic with the possibility of an ankle sprain. I can't remember the last time I saw a player get injured going to the floor for a loose ball.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Relax, Dallas has no defense and as good as they are offensively, we are better. Nobody out scores the kings

 

[Tetsujin]

HOW IN THE **** IS THAT A TAKE FOUL?!

 

[The_Jamal]

NBA should be embarrassed. Luka is so talented, he doesn't need all these free calls.

Transition take is pathetic.

 

[Kingz19]

What the hell is going on with these turnovers

 

[Tetsujin]

Refs outscoring the Kings this quarter

 

[est.1999]

They’re letting Luka’s theatrics get in their heads.

 

[Showtime]

I hated them re-signing Barnes and I still hate it.

 

[The_Jamal]

What the hell is going on with these turnovers

We're out of sorts. Refs working overtime for Luka and very predictably, ruining our offensive rhythm

 

[est.1999]

I hated them re-signing Barnes and I still hate it.

He blows. He’s slow on D and misses the easiest 3s ever

 

[206Fan]

Let’s not turn into Luka with complaining about these terrible refs. We’re letting them shoot 53% from the floor and 47% from 3pt. We’re leaving their shooters wide open because we can’t stop Luka and Kyrie

Frustration. The guys are getting punked out there and they're all a little amped right now.

It's all correlated (imo). Team gets frustrated with the Luka BS and start to get real sloppy with defensive rotations and not as focused

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Keegan with a quiet 14 so far...

 

[206Fan]

It’s kind of what they do. We just have to stick to our game plan and not lose focus

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Sasha in for Barnes please.

 

[The_Jamal]

It’s kind of what they do. We just have to stick to our game plan and not lose focus

For sure. It's a good playoff-series-caliber test for us.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Sabonis has settled down at the free throw line

 

[The_Jamal]

Keegs we need that man. That's your shot

 

[Kingz19]

Come on Keegan

 

[The_Jamal]

There we go Fox. Get going
