[Game] Kings @ Pelicans, 11/20/2023 5:00pm Pacific 8:00pm Eastern

[Tetsujin]

Domas is on an entirely different level of dominance right now. Teams just can't handle his post physicality and he's a lot quicker/athletic than he was last year

He’s playing even more physically than he did last year too. Just tossing dudes around like rag dolls under the hoop. Jonas used to give him fits and right now Domas is just picking him apart.

 

[Tetsujin]

Alvarado not a great ball handler by any means but Keegan just effortlessly guarded him and forced him into a bad drive.

 

[SacTownKid]

I can't remember when the Kings ran this much switch D and it's working pretty well. The Pels aren't even going at the Mitchell mismatch.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Didn't take Murray long to get BI's timing down.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

I’m surprised the Pelicans are such a bad defensive rebounding team.

 

[The_Jamal]

Javale is so good when he plays within himself, but it feels like that's a 50/50 proposition on every possession

 

[Tetsujin]

Malik just so good running off picks

 

[Tetsujin]

De’Aaron a monster

 

[The_Jamal]

Man, Fox just shrugged off Alvarado like he's nothing

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I’m surprised the Pelicans are such a bad defensive rebounding team.

Valančiūnas can't grab everything; the rest of their frontcourt is already heading the other way, trying to get back on offense.

 

[The_Jamal]

Javale giveth and Javale taketh

 

[Sluggah]

So uhhh…I’ll take that.

 

[Bfreeman]

Javale you goober

 

[Tetsujin]

Zion just doesn’t look the same. his legs look shot

 

[The_Jamal]

I mean all things considered, us being up 2 after the first 7 minutes of this game is a miracle in itself.

 

[Tetsujin]

Javale still got hops

 

[SLAB]

I love JaVale’s game.

 

[The_Jamal]

Can't let Javale keep getting switched on Zion

 

[Tetsujin]

Get Keegs in there. Or at least Kessler. HB not gonna put much of a fight up there

 

[kingsboi]

Zion just doesn’t look the same. his legs look shot

if he wants to prolong his career, all that weight that's putting a burden on those knees will have to go

 

[206Fan]

I know we’re playing a back to back, but that was the Mavs last night and we didn’t let them off with that excuse. Have to pick it up here and play a lot better defense and cut the sloppy passes

 

[The_Jamal]

There it is Monk. Love we're getting him far more C&S threes where he was so damn elite his final year with CHA and with LA

 

[The_Jamal]

Atta boy HB! There it is

 

[Bfreeman]

We need HB tonight!

 

[The_Jamal]

I know we’re playing a back to back, but that was the Mavs last night and we didn’t let them off with that excuse. Have to pick it up here and play a lot better defense and cut the sloppy passes

I don't think the defense has been super poor tbh. They were just hitting everything early and we're just getting schemed on by Zion running right around Javale and HB for lay-ups. But mostly contesting shots from what I've seen.

Offensively, very sloppy though. Missing too many open shots and throwing the ball away

 

[The_Jamal]

Zion has 4 lay-ups just running right around the defender and finishing with the left this quarter. Oof.

 

[Bfreeman]

Davion making the smart pass

 

[Tetsujin]

Holy crap Malik!

 

[The_Jamal]

Oh my god Monk that was absurd

 

[The_Jamal]

Zion has 4 lay-ups just running right around the defender and finishing with the left this quarter. Oof.

5*

Dude looks like he's about to pass out on the sideline. Maybe a 500IQ play to get him tired now so he has dead legs in the 4th?
