[Game] Kings @ Pelicans 2/5/2023 4pm Pacific 7pm Eastern

[gunks]

Fox better time his next kid to get born in the offseason

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

This is a super frustrating game.

 

[Kingz19]

Joke of a defense

that’s why you can be third place in the west and still have others teams circle you as a load management game for their stars as we’ve seen recently. They don’t need their scorers to score at the same or even higher clip against the Kings.

Who’s this Marshall bum and why is he on pace for a triple double?

Was in the 2020 draft available when we drafted Ramsey and Woodard. Jones was also a second round pick. New Orleans has done a good job getting defensive wings in the 2nd Round.

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

The matador defense by Kings. Tough to watch how everyone is scoring with ease.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I think I'm going to blame the slow start to a breakfast of beignets and coffee with chicory in it.

This has been and will likely always be a team predicated on offense. Whatever the offense looks like is what this team will do on D. The Kings aren't loaded with defensive talent and certainly not wing defenders.

 

[sactowndog]

Huerter getting attacked over and over

 

[Caccia]

The Kings are in the bonus with five minutes to go. Time to pound it inside, not shoot from the perimeter.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Kings bench outscored starters 32-11 !

 

[Sluggah]

Starters can’t get **** going

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Yeah this looks like a loss. The starters have been awful. When you’re a three point shooting team missing your star PG, your three 40% 3 point shooters can’t be 0-6 from three and your all star center can’t be 2-6.

 

[TaxMan]

Wtf is this team doing

 

[Kingz19]

Kayte, stop with the tired excuse. The other teams are playing the season too

pelicans played last night

 

[iowamcnabb]

Nice rotation on that one

 

[TaxMan]

This is embarrassing. Getting blown out by the pelicans B team on a back to back.

 

[AaronPDX]

This is pathetic...

 

[HndsmCelt]

This is getting beyond ugly. I'm not even sure what the strategy out there is now. Start playing a little bit of defense and then Jack up threes on the bonus wtf?

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Embarassing. Not gonna waste my monday morning watching this crap. First time turning off the game this season. Flashbacks from last season.

 

[SLAB]

I don’t care if Fox isn’t in. It’s okay to lose when your guy is out, it’s not okay to look like this. Absolute trash level nonsense.

 

[TheMobb]

Huerter and Keegan too slow and not strong enough for their wings. Probably need more Monk and TD.

 

[chief bromden]

Kayte, stop with the tired excuse. The other teams are playing the season too

pelicans played last night

She has brought it up this whole road trip. I think she is just projecting, she is the one that sounds tired and needs the all star break.

 

[KF8]

Kayte, stop with the tired excuse. The other teams are playing the season too

pelicans played last night

well the kings are in the middle of a long road trip so they must be tired plus the refs are actively working against us

 

[chief bromden]

These last two games have me as officially out on Davion. For a 'defense' oriented player, just not enough deflections to make up for his size and offense liabilities

 

[Turgenev]

I have tuned into so many games this season where the opposition is shooting 60% from the field. Their threes just splash in and there is nothing to stop their drives.

 

[joemama]

Regressed

Huerter was a sniper
Davion wasn't a complete offensive liability
Keegs forgot how to get set for a shot

As a team we forgot how to run an offense
As a team we forgot how to rebound

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Kayte, stop with the tired excuse. The other teams are playing the season too

Yeah it certainly doesn't help that we have games in hand over most of the league too. Mostly in the loss column, but we can't afford to be losing them. We have no tired excuse right now. Can only hope that baby Reign is born healthy and we aren't stuck with an extended LOA for our co-MVP.

 

[White_Chocolate]

This is ugly

 

[HndsmCelt]

Pelicans playing small ball and dominating the boards... Ouch!

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Sabonis needs to make more of an impact when Fox is absent.
