[Game] Kings @ Miami Heat, 1/31/2024, 4:30p PT/7:30p ET

[Bosnian Diehard]

Domas waking up has been super helpful. Within 4 after nearly being down 20. Nice.

He’s really the key to offense. I was worried it was just gonna be a bad game for him as Bam is a the type of player he usually struggles against.

 

[Caccia]

Monk has a bad habit of not moving into the line. Just accepts 28-30 footers

He really does shoot better when right at the line. Also, on the second missed three, the trajectory was low.

Barnes so far has been spotted up in the corner. It's quite interesting, the off man that gets spotted up in the corner seems to be the one to get the scraps.

yeh we seem to have figured out how to involve 4 guys but not the 5th consistently. I still can’t figure out why he doesn’t drive or why coach hasn’t asked him to do that when we get in a rut. He got us out of a lot of jams last year with free throws.

What was the offer from Jazz - keegan and a dozen of first round picks for Lauri ….
They can change to Luari , Clarkson and Fontecchio plus several first rounders and we still have to refuse them

 

[Joshoua]

**** the nba man how is that a foul because the offensive player throws his body at him damn

 

[Tetsujin]

HB starting to wake up.

 

[ick300]

After 20 min Domas was 0/3/3 , after 28 he is 11/9/8
Damn nice

ask and thy shall receive

 

[ick300]

Dooooooomassssss
Does somebody remember his last miss from the 3pt!? I don’t haha

 

[ick300]

HB starting to wake up.

Is he !? :-/

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

So with Davion running the offense we just don't get good shots. I think that's the best way to sum it up.

 

[ick300]

I really hope we won’t see Barnes till the end of the game

I've never seen anyone who shoots better from 28+ feet than 24

That's the difference on offense between him and Ellis

The best way to think about the PGs role is to make sure that the possession results in a good shot - whether that's you (as in Fox) or another. This is a skill that is apart from ball handling and passing, it's it's own thing. I don't think Davion has that thing.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

EXACTLY. 100% on the money.

looks like…

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Please get Davion out of the game.

 

[KF8]

dont think the kings win this if fox doesn't wake up soon.

 

[Joshoua]

Please get Davion out of the game.

the starting ph isn’t doing much of anting either same with monk

 

[ick300]

Who says Fox has to end every single quarter )

 

[Tetsujin]

Keep finding Keegan. The Heat have no answer for him, especially when Butler is sitting.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Quick question... why has Len not played? Can we please be done with these silly lineup tryouts and just play the best players? Len needs at least 15 minutes a night.

Len would get absolutely wrecked by the actions the Heat are running. The Lyles at the 5 lineup that we ran out there to end the quarter is probably the right answer for non-Domas minutes tonight.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

I don't know if it's contract rules or whatever but I feel like we have CLEARLY determined that Keon is the better player. In every aspect of the game. He's even a better defender.

Ok, well... I guess I wasn't expecting anyone to have an actual answer lol. Fair enough. lol

But I'd still rather see him above Javale in all cases.

 

[TaxMan]

Monk needs to snap out of this if we want to win.

The Len disappearance is so frustrating.

 

[SacTownKid]

This is another one of those wait long enough to see the replay challenges. WTF. Yes, bad call but the NBA has to regulate this stuff.

 

[TaxMan]

The Len disappearance is so frustrating.

like I said. Good call to have McGee in there.
