[Game] Kings @ Pelicans, 11/22/2023 5pm Pacific 8pm Eastern

[kingdivac]

Yeah the parallel to the Rockets B2B is apt - Kings are getting outworked and out-focused.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Zion is excellent, but my god he just destroys the kings .

 

[Makaveli]

siakam maybe with Keegan at the 3? Does Barnes/mitchell pull siakam?

 

[SacTownKid]

Right now the real issue is the offense. The Kings had a good run on defense lately but so much of that was because of how unreal that offense was. 100 point gut out wins isn't something a team like Sac can rely on.

 

[CaliPelsFan2k23]

If you could think of a player that could contend with Zion that would not be a liability on offense. Who would that person be. Because we need that guy. Not just for Zion but for other. I’m off the OG bandwagon we need some muscle

Nobody in the NBA can stay with Zion lol. I guess you haven’t watched him vs Giannis and Lebron. He made them look small lol.

 

[reptilexcq2]

This team is only good if they play against teams with matching size and length like Golden States Warriors, Thunders, Rockets. But against teams with size like the Pelicans, Bucks, Wolves, they're going to be in trouble.

Harrison Barnes is short, Huerter's weak, Mitchell undersize. I honestly think Brown is making a mistake of not playing Colby Jones.

 

[kingdivac]

HORRIBLE SHOOTING

 

[Makaveli]

We took them out the other night for bench players. I say make them eat this and play normal minutes

 

[SacTownKid]

Good Harrison is historically the only other player on the roster capable of getting his own. This year, he's not even on the iso charts. Only Fox and Monk are up to this point.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I mean, that would be ideal, Kayte, but Zion seems content to not even bother guarding Barnes, and save his energy for the offensive end, like he did Monday night.

 

[Kingz19]

Fox settling way too much

 

[kingdivac]

Duarte cannot guard Ingram

 

[kingdivac]

Huerter jeezus --- WIDE OPEN

 

[Makaveli]

Maybe the pels are just that good. I mean we haven’t seen the healthy for very long stretches since getting BI

 

[Caccia]

Duarte cannot guard Ingram

Edwards is the answer.

 

[SacTownKid]

Edwards is the answer.

Probably. The issue is right now Duarte is playing a pretty integral role on offense just catching and swinging the ball as that spacer.

 

[Caccia]

Bench is only 2-12 so they need to step it up here very shortly.

 

[kingdivac]

No way the Kings win this game shooting 40% from the field....

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Maybe the pels are just that good. I mean we haven’t seen the healthy for very long stretches since getting BI

Quiet as kept, they're more dangerous defensively without McCollum.

 

[Makaveli]

Well I mean they aren’t up 30. So that’s a welcome change. I ate pizza and cleaned shaved and showered before the game. I got nothing else

 

[coolhandluke]

The game is not as close as the score shows.

 

[kingdivac]

awful defnse....again

 

[kingdivac]

Get Duarte off the floor.

 

[Kingz19]

Duarte too small

 

[kingdivac]

Duarte too small

Not only that he's behind tonight......

 

[kingdivac]

Problem is Huerter is terrible on offense tonight......brick factory - bring in Vezenkov and give a try.

 

[Makaveli]

Problem is Huerter is terrible on offense tonight......brick factory - bring in Vezenkov and give a try.

He is actually worse. 1-5 with 2 middle school turnovers

 

[kingdivac]

Finally a great defensive rebound

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

JaVale McGee calling for the ball in the paint and turning it over as soon as he got it is the most JaVale McGee thing of all time.

 

[Kingz19]

Kings have worked awfully hard to gain virtually zero ground in this quarter
