[Game] Kings @ Pelicans, 10/29/21 5pm Pacific 8pm Eastern

[Tetsujin]

Joel saying to foul Richaun. Has he seen his free throw splits?

 

[kingsboi]

I guess the solution is to ***** and moan about it to the media?

that's the new norm these days. don't like the team your on? voice your displeasure on social media

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I guess the solution is to ***** and moan about it to the media?

Seems like Phil Jackson won at least four championships, relying on that exact tactic.

 

[SLAB]

If the Kings lose, they gonna ride you out of town on a rail, man.

I’ll take credit for the extra ping pong ball come lottery season.

 

[Tetsujin]

In addition to the two blown Fox drives, the Kings wouldn’t have to be sweating this if Luke hadn’t wasted his challenge in the middle of the third quarter.

 

[Woot!]

Have I mentioned how much I appreciate that Richaun can make free throws, not least in the clutch?

 

[EIM86]

Man, refs really aren’t calling fouls this year.

this is more pure basketball for me. I prefer this over theatrics

 

[TaxMan]

Wth

 

[Woot!]

In addition to the two blown Fox drives, the Kings wouldn’t have to be sweating this if Luke hadn’t wasted his challenge in the middle of the third quarter.

Fox needs to be smarter than that. And so does Harkless.

 

[Tetsujin]

I don’t think the clock started on that play.

 

[Woot!]

Tell you wut: our boyz picked a *really* good night to go 22-23 from the free throw line, which is about as good a freebie night as I can remember.

 

[kingsboi]

why don't you play your best defender on that Nawlins possession?

 

[kingsboi]

Zion rockin' a Gucci Mane sized chain

 

[dude12]

Take the W and get out of town. 3-2

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Over .500.

Let's go!

 

[Tetsujin]

Herb Jones got a career high!

 

[kb02]

Game was closer than it should’ve been, but a win is a win.

 

[TaxMan]

I’ll take it. At least it was a more consistent effort for four quarters.

 

[EIM86]

This felt like a Kangz game for me but for New Orleans. We go behind early, our 2nd unit hustles to bring it closer, then our 1st unit comes back in but the lead increases because their first unit is just simply better then us. Good win, our team was clearly better

 

[kb02]

Herb Jones got a career high!

Would look really nice on that Kings second unit. Ugh.

 

[Woot!]

"Fun" fact: HB's scoring has gone down w/every game: 36, 25, 24, 22, 18. Another nice rebounding game, tho, w/12.

 

[SacTownKid]

Good win. If they keep those positives coming and ditch the negatives (plus stay healthy of course), this team will be in the playoffs.

The scoring is one thing, but it's surprising how consistent on the boards since he's been playing exclusively at PF. His scoring should be able to go down but those boards are important.

Draper is unbelievable. Harkless gets a foul with no time elapsed on the clock...Draper: LOL!
Kings make 24 out of 25 free throws. Draper: LOL!
Ingrahm makes a shot. Draper: LOL!
Kings win. Draper: LOL!

 

[Kingster]

Best game of the season for Halliburton. Everyone else was meh except for Barnes who always is good.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings make 24 out of 25 free throws. Draper: LOL!
Ingrahm makes a shot. Draper: LOL!
Kings win. Draper: LOL!

Laughing in disbelief is pretty much all you can do in that situation unless you prefer the general existential dread/brown nosing of the officials by the old guy.

 

[Das_Boot]

why don't you play your best defender on that Nawlins possession?

Luke put him in after that first free throw and then took him back out after the time out. He almost got it right!

 

[New Era]

Draper is unbelievable. Harkless gets a foul with no time elapsed on the clock...Draper: LOL!
Kings make 24 out of 25 free throws. Draper: LOL!
Ingrahm makes a shot. Draper: LOL!
Kings win. Draper: LOL!

I'm just not sure I can take much more of it. I've never been a "mute" guy because I like to hear the sounds of the basketball game, but I might have to consider it.

 

[Woot!]

The boards are huge. But he just shouldn't be forgotten as often as he is offensively. Too many nights last year that HB and Holmes were the best players on the floor offensively and couldn't get touches. They need to do better at sharing the ball to maximize the talent structure of this team.

You are not alone!
