[Game] Kings @ Minnesota Timberwolves, 3/1/2024, 5:00p PT/8:00p ET

[Tetsujin]

Domas just seems to play better the longer his opponent’s arms are lol. Dude just loves playing Wemby and Chet and thus far making Gobert’s night hell but always struggles with Jonas and Steven Adams (Stubby big dudes who just sorta bang in the paint)

 

[Caccia]

Neon Keon!

 

[Tetsujin]

Chris Finch on pace to burn all his timeouts before the middle of the 4th quarter.

 

[SacTownKid]

I would expect the Wolves to start throwing in some zone here and there. They are just a gaping hole at the rim with KAT in there.

 

[Tetsujin]

Domas not gonna need garbage time to get that double double tonight probably.

 

[gunks]

Domas carrying

They’re still a gaping hole at the rim with Gobert in there because Domas is so good at filling the space behind him when he goes to try to block someone’s shot.

 

[SacTownKid]

Well, the Wolves did go zone but the Kings playing up in pressure on pick and roll defensively created a bunch of turnovers and forced shots that led to open floor opportunities. The half court offense did get slowed by the zone a bit though.

Gobert in that drop is something the Kings can exploit if they look for those quick shots coming off the screen.

 

[Tetsujin]

Wolves about to shoot ALL the free throws.

 

[Tetsujin]

KAT hurt himself running over Trey.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kings need for Monk and Murray to be productive enough offensively for them to be able to keep their better defenders on the court.

 

[SacTownKid]

They have to cut this knee stuff out. Too dangerous.

 

[New Era]

Good challenge here

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'd bet my bottom dollar, too, Kayte, if it weren't for the fact that Mike Brown's record in challenges is... less than inspiring.

 

[New Era]

Love how KAT is rolling around like he has a season ending injury and then the next second his teammate helps him up and he's totally fine

 

[Turgenev]

Looks like a simple charge call to me :/

 

[HndsmCelt]

As almost a hard fast rule I hate using a challenge in the first half, but that call was so bad it might have been worthwhile

 

[Tetsujin]

lol how

 

[HndsmCelt]

They have to cut this knee stuff out. Too dangerous.

All refs would have to do is not call the response punch a technical LOL

 

[Tetsujin]

But the rules aren’t about the rtorso they’re based on the feet.

 

[Hoovtrain]

What a freaking joke

 

[Tetsujin]

Kyle going full Gorman right now haha

 

[Hoovtrain]

A FT rest of half… awesome

 

[SacTownKid]

So, you can't use your arm to ward off but you can tiger knee someone? This is an issue.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

What a surprise,....a ridiculous call by the officials

 

[Turgenev]

Admit you missed an easy one or double down on a bad call?

 

[HndsmCelt]

It would appear that wincing with pain when you need in the chest constitutes moving to torso

 

[LoungeLizard]

Absolute horse crap. Just when you think the NBA officialls can’t possibly screw Sacramento any more they find a new way. Unbelievable

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

What a freaking joke

That was the most "We've got to screw the Kings without making it sound like we're screwing the Kings" call I've heard in some time.
