[Game] Kings @ Milwaukee Bucks, 1/14/2024, 4:00 PST/7:00p EST

At least we aren’t the cowboys

 

[SacTownKid]

Damn, Mike Brown busting out the laptop and doing a JFK style breakdown of the game tape

Back and to the left.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

That wasn't an easy shot. When up 2 you don't play not to lose. You do that when you are up 3 or yes, 4.

IT WAS A WIDE OPEN SHOT. TOTALLY INEXCUSABLE.

Yea but we didn't do that when we was up 3 or 4. We closed in on a 2 and gave up a 3

 

[NewArena]

Nah, when you are up 2 it's pretty much a stop the other team game. It was a tough, tough shot. The Kings could have doubled and just go back to OT I guess because it likely would have been a layup. The 3 that killed it was the one while up 4. You don't turn a 2 possession game into a 1 possession one. Give the other team the 2 point shot every time.

Yup. I guess this is where they miss Mike Brown? Jordi shouldn’t have to communicate that to these guys but maybe he needed to stress it. Yikes! All we can do is move on. If they keep this energy against every other team, they’ll be fine. Unfortunately they haven’t done that so far this season.

 

[Kingz19]

Beautiful post game presser by Brown.

Kings still blew it but the refs were a joke even if they didn’t

 

[NewArena]

Bad free throw shooting is probably the thing in basketball I find most intolerable. They’re free!! Just ahead of bad rebounding.

It’s a shame the Kings always seem to be bad at it…or when they’re good, bad when it counts.

that’s a tradition i sure could do without

 

[The_Jamal]

Kings need to go get a defensive lynchpin. Keegan out and our perimeter d crumbles into dust. Caruso, thybulle, dfs, somebody.

 

[SacTownKid]

Exactly, that's been my point. That's when the game turned. I was dumbfounded.

 

[coolhandluke]

Oh well. It hurts to lose but I'm proud of the Kings effort. Mike Brown's ejection reset the foul calling and we were able to execute better after that. Some silly turnovers and missed free throws in OT cooked the King's goose.

 

[fansinceday1]

It just sucks that as fox steps to the line my GF says we got this!
“Naw, fox is good for one miss at times like this”.
Sucks that I knew he was gonna miss one.

it probably means nothing but Grant, Thybulle and Brogdan all sat out tonight.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

That wasn't an easy shot. When up 2 you don't play not to lose. You do that when you are up 3 or yes, 4.

I think most of us knew it was in when it left his hand. That's a bread and butter shot for one of the most clutch deep shooters in history

 

[nikefutbolero]

Malik with the choke job.
I want coach to give him the same energy he gave the ref.

 

[forza kings]

Hack-a-King could be the best strategy for opponents in close games against us.

kinda like we knew you would show up in a loss. Your internet must go down in wins because you never make an appearance.

 

[Tetsujin]

Dame left the whole Dame Time gimmick in Portland apparently.

Blame me

If they are in a close game they better expect it.

And don't think for a minute that the 3's they gave Lillard on foul shots doesn't have a say in all of that. He got some very friendly continuation/shooting motion calls. When up 4, you never give up a wide open 3. Do that and maybe you get what you deserve. Then you can afford to foul, up 2? Gets dicey. Tonight get anywhere near Dame as he's about to launch and that might be 3 at the line.

Blame me

You need to be suspended for the next game

Agree. This is how you make an impression on the officials. Not so much by spending challenges early

No, I usually dont care if they win or lose. I just wanted the 8 year losing streak to go bye bye.
I’m sorry, (not really) am I saying anything out of bounds? Nope. If you can’t handle it just put me on ignore too.

 

[sauce-26]

At least we aren’t the cowboys

Wisconsin put me in a bad mood twice today

Not even Maliks fault. The improvement is to come at the decision level and how to control a game when it's based on possessions and you have the advantage.

He'll be more focused. I think he got too confident, starting talking....and created a slight distraction for himself

You see. This is why it will really hurt if we couldn't re-sign this guy.

 

[KF8]

sucks that we loss because barnes and huerter played well.. hopefully it's not a one off and that they'll continue

Irrelevant!

You have a player who knows had he hit his free throws they would have won. He owns it PUBLICLY immediately!

That’s leadership. That’s loyalty.
