[Game] Kings @ Nets, 2/23/21 4:30pm PST 7:30pm EST

Has De'Aaron played the whole 2nd half thus far?

 

[SacTownKid]

As soon as Kayte said this game was definitely going to be a good one I knew the Nets would go on a run.

It's a shame that the Kings finishing crew is almost always expected to fight back out of a 10 point or more hole every time.

Was a curse man, posted it in the wrong thread said hey watch after Kayte said that Nets would go on a 10-0 run. They've went on a 11-0 run.

 

[SacTownKid]

OK I'm done. You can see them attacking the Kings help again. Rewind that last corner 3 and ship it to Lukes address in 8K format.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Bruce Brown the 9th best player on the team is Captain Arrogant.

 

[Tetsujin]

Please don’t leave New York without Mike D’Antoni

 

[KainLear]

Rebounding is nonexistent.

 

[SLAB]

At least they didn’t roll over and die I guess.

 

[Tetsujin]

Schematically, it was like Luke went “sure I’ll play the death lineup but they have to play my crapty defensive designs”

 

[Hoovtrain]

Another Nice game from Halliburton. Really want to see more pick and rolls with he and Bagley. They could be special with that alley-oop

 

[Sluggah]

Please don’t leave New York without Mark D’Antoni

To be clear, my like is for Mike.

 

[Tetsujin]

To be clear, my like is for Mike.

This is going to sound completely unrealistic but my phone somehow autocorrected Mark to Mike. I dunno how either

 

[Reverend]

Man I like seeing Tyrese get some love from Harden and Kyrie at the end there. Like them or love them, those guys are some of the best the league has to offer at Hali’s position and they were boosting HIM up. Awesome to see

 

[SacTownKid]

At least they didn’t roll over and die I guess.

The problem is they got beat strategically and yes, they have now gone of a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th wind team to 1 that drops it's head after 1 knock. The tough jaw is gone. This team is glass Joe all the way now. They might take a few hits to the chin but they will drop after 1 decent blow now. They can still get up but they lose on points most contests. When Walton "watches the tape" what is he freaking seeing? From our angle you could clearly see them setting them up for shots off the Kings over help every time, and this is the story of this team for too long now.

I can't stand Luke Walton. I never wish someone's departure from the Kings more... well... maybe since the Maloofs.

1.5 games out of the 3d pick pre lotto now.

Don't get your hopes up bro. You darn well know when the tank race starts Luke is going to pad his own record.

 

[iowamcnabb]

That was at least competitive and I wasn't bored the whole time. Ty came out and showed he can be a star. He WILL be. Too much determination to not bust through that role player ceiling. You could tell the Nets saw it too and it was great to see them give him love. When Kyrie Irving and James Harden seek you out after the game as a rookie that has to feel good. And WE can feel good knowing we have a dude that is going to get us to the playoffs next year. I truly believe that.

 

[Woot!]

“Only Steph Curry has made more three pointers than Buddy Hield this year.”

That does not seem true at all.

Misleading at best. Buddy takes a RIDICULOUS number of 3's. Make 'em or miss 'em, as he rule he takes 'em.

 

[Woot!]

I couldn't watch tonight. I see the boxscore, but how did HB *look* in his comeback game. I see that several guys, including him, played BIG minutes.

 

[Chupacabra]

Walton road an 8 man rotation to the team's 8th straight loss.

Walton road an 8 man rotation to the team's 8th straight loss.

And he just got his butt handed back to him by a rookie coach in a nice little tight zip lock baggy with a heart drawn on it. They took him and the defense apart with ease and he let his guys keep coming back for more.

Why is Bruce Brown, guy who averages 6 ppg in 20 mpg, scoring 29 points on us in 25 minutes?

Thats our M.O bro ):

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Is that our offense.
3pt screen pass to 3pt screen pass to 3 point screen shot clock heave?

I’ve been asking that same question for the better part of 36 years now. Scrub‘s name changes, but the result almost always the same.

The Kings have now lost more than 10% of the season in a row. So impressive that the TV crew kept touting the totally arbitrary "losses in a row while scoring 110+ per game" all-time team list like the audience wants to be entertained by how much the Kings can Kangz

Anyone else getting tired of the mantra "offense isn't the problem, we know we can score" and touting defense as the problem? The offense looks like crap for at least half of each game, which I'm sure negatively impacts the D more than is given credit for. On top of that, the Kings rebounding sucks. That's a bigger problem than the defense in my opinion.

 

[dude12]

Watched the game on DVR. We had a chance in the 4th and the Cojo came in for DQJ and it all fell apart.

 

[ppine]

For a team that has lost 8 in a row the Kings' played great.
They were fun to watch. The offense was running on 8 cylinders with fuel injection.
The problem is that the Nets are like a V-12 with a turbocharger.
The Kings's defense is record settingly bad.
They disguise it well, and look like they work at it.
Halliburton played like a future all-star and Irving and Harden took notice. That was the best thing about last night.
Fox, Halliburton, Barnes and Mista Holmes played like they have a bright future.
I would single out Bagley as the man that is improving the fastest, after TH.
The last few games have been unwatchable. The Nets defense is not very good so it made for a fun game.
It felt like 1985.

I live in Nevada. Watching the Kings is starting to remind me of gambling.
We are rarely going to win anything, but it is a fun form of entertainment.
