[Game] Kings @ Nets, 2/14/2022 4:30pm Pacific 7:30pm Eastern

1 vs 5.

 

[Tetsujin]

De'Aaron and Donte trying to keep the Kings in the game. Everyone else, not so much.

 

[SwipaTical]

Fox can't be the only ball handler that's willing to put the team on his back. Barnes too timid to get his when the role players aren't making shots. Sabonis is trying just missing.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

5 steals for donte

 

[kb02]

So much for the good vibes. Role players better start shooting better or it’s going to be a long 2h of the year.

 

[miltonap]

not a good showing

Assists disappeared tonight. Good teams going to pack the paint n take away easy assists until the Kings can make their threes.

 

[SLAB]

Ya, my good vibes are dead and buried.

Checking in on the 5 role guys who shot 12-23 vs the Wiz from 3:

Harkless: 0-1
Holiday: 1-6
Mitchell: 3-6
DDV: 2-6
Metu: 1-3

Total: 7-22 for 31%.


Add in 2-10 from Sabonis/Fox/Barnes with Barnes playing his worst game in a month. Easy to see why the offense cratered.

 

[D13]

Brown and Curry killed us this game. Needed to stick Davion one one. Harkless and Holiday got smoked... neither added nothing this game.

 

[Tetsujin]

Jesus ****ing Christ some of you are so dramatic.

It kind of is what it is. This is why earlier in games Gentry needs to keep going to Fox in the middle pnr if that's all he's got. Wait for the defense to start playing all the way towards De'Aaron and the options will open up for the other guys. This team has way more defense capable players, better post option play, more size, etc. but they don't have the explosive scoring like they used to.

 

[wazzups]

Bologna we run up against a physical team and we fall over....

 

[Kingz19]

I’m ready for Donte to start. As much as I like him and Davion being on the floor at the same time.

We need atleast one of him or Davion on the floor at all times. We kept getting torched by Seth Curry with the starting lineup on the floor. That would be understandable if he wasn’t their number 1 option going into this game rather than living off the attention star players get. They can keep Holiday in the starting lineup if they must. Harkless is too feast or (Mostly)famine and i haven’t really observed his defense making up for it.

I mean, expected nothing less at the first sign of a bad game.

 

[wazzups]

Drummond rendered us useless

 

[Sluggah]

But I wanted to never lose again

 

[SLAB]

Trey Lyles exists!

 

[Spike]

But I wanted to never lose again

And win each game by at least 25.

 

[wazzups]

The ability to not freak out vs physical teams is just not there yet.

 

[Tetsujin]

But I wanted to never lose again

At least with the old guys, we would have lost by 20 the right way

[wazzups]

They just put Drummond in and we just fall to pieces.

 

[captain bill]

Lol Mark Jackson personally attacking us

 

[SLAB]

Unacceptable for a team trying to win. Lol

 

[dude12]

That was a clunker

 

[SacTownKid]

Unacceptable for a team trying to win. Lol

It happens. The question now is how do they respond? This is going to be an uphill battle. The only bad thing about the trades coming so late is time is short. Jerry Reynolds doesn't even expect this team to make the play in this year. The Pelicans are up and have like 5 more home games.

Jesus ****ing Christ some of you are so dramatic.

Or maybe we’re just sick of getting punched in the mouth by bad teams and doing nothing about it

 

[captain bill]

Jesus ****ing Christ some of you are so dramatic.

Winning cures everything and now we have to sit with the feeing of reading Tyrese’s piece without a feel good win to ease the pain
