[Game] Kings @ Pelicans (Play-In Tournament) - 4/19 6:30PM PDT/9:30 PM EDT

I can see why Monte thought standing pat seemed like a good idea, but in retrospect…

 

[206Fan]

I’m sorry but Keegan really crap the bed tonight. Completely invisible and didn’t show up when we needed someone other than Fox-Sabonis to step up.

 

[LPKingsFan]

I would love for Kessler Edwards to turn out to be even half as good as some posters here think he is

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Team needs a massive rehaul this offseason. For starters move in from Huerter. Mitchell and Barnes. This was just an absolutely gutless performance from top to bottom ….coaching included

Thank you.

 

[Tetsujin]

I agree on Edward, no idea why we don’t play him as he is the only guy on team that can match Pels length.

Because he’s ass on offense.

How? It was never a good idea lol

 

[LoungeLizard]

I’m not mad that we’re going to lose this game. I’m mad that it looks like the previous 5 times we’ve played them.

 

[Tetsujin]

All the worms coming outta the woodwork.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

He doesn't score. They needed points

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

and they couldn't hit shots. Shooting % will be the story of this game

Sounding like a broken record. Shooting % have been the story in all the games against the Pelicans.

 

[MizzouKing]

Try some Edwards and Jones…they have literally nothing to lose and we need some guys to play like that.

 

[Krunker]

0-6 has gotta be a record right? Excluding playoff games

Well technically this doesn't count for season stats I don't think

 

[sactowndog]

Who is fixing this? Kessler Edwards? C'mon man, Brown might not be perfect but he's way better than any alternative the Kings could hire

Maybe.

If Mike tried Edwards and he failed he could point the blame at Monte for building a roster devoid of 3’s and length. Instead Mike rolled out the same rotation that had already lost by double digits multiple times. Now Mike has opened himself up for blame. Deservedly.

 

[Bfreeman]

I mean I hope you guys aren’t too surprised, we would’ve fared better against literally anyone else. A first round pick isn’t much of a consolation but it’s something.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Our best players are losing this game tonight but somehow it’s all the fault of whoever’s favorite whipping boy, the coach, not playing Edwards, or somehow a guy who’s been injured the last month and a half.

I do think we are a great fan base but sometimes we’re just embarrassing.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

let us all still love thy fellow long suffering kings fan….we will be back! We are allowed to feel feelings but hope springs eternal! I LOVE THIS TEAM

Too early bro

 

[Kingz19]

Ok..that’s officially the season

Frankly, the Pelicans are a much better team head to head than the Kings and deserve to move on. I just hope the Kings score in double figures in this fourth quarter.

Hopefully the sheer embarrassment of this Pelicans matchup over this season should cure Monte’s phobia of length and athleticism this coming offseason.

 

[KF8]

What a rol

ahwell atleast they get a sweet draft pick

Supposedly this draft is weak though. Kings could still luck out on someone so who knows.

Another bad thing is monte won't be able to trade any picks since it'll still be tied to the hawks.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Sounding like a broken record. Shooting % have been the story in all the games against the Pelicans.

There you go. No matter what else happens, you can't expect to win scoring 88 points

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Another elimination with a lesser center outplaying / neutralizing our “All-NBA” one. Darn.

Sabonis isn’t the problem. But this team needs A LOT of fixing. Like an overhaul outside of the big 2.

I'm sure that the other twenty-nine GMs are lining up to help make the Kings contenders.

 

[TaxMan]

ahwell atleast they get a sweet draft pick

Barf

I can see why Monte thought standing pat seemed like a good idea, but in retrospect…

If it was his first option I'd be worried. He tried for Beal according to all the evidence and that was plan A, plan B was run it back. He looked at the deadline and didn't land his targets. This summer there will only be so many of those left unfortunately. Get cracking Monte. Even if Monte doesn't make a big move he has to get his cap under some sort of control by moving enough salary to at least have the option of actually using his MLE.

 

[iowamcnabb]

38 25 63 shooting splits is rough. 46 percent from 3 for New Orleans again. Have to give them credit they have found another way to beat us (Val, Naji and Nance who average a combined 24 points have 44). I will be rooting for the Pels to be a first round exit.

 

[sactowndog]

Because he’s ass on offense.

he spot up 3 percentage has been pretty good.

 

[Hoovtrain]

I still love you, Brother!

hopefully he doesn’t have someone blowing up his inbox with a bunch of aggressive lectures like he did to me after last years game 7 loss lol

 

[gunks]

Pathetic loss, but oh well... I'm a temporary Nuggets fan until next season again.

See y'all in TDOS! I still think we're a few minor moves and improved Keegan away from competing. We could have even made the second round this year if Zion didn't get hurt against LA.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Couldn't even get a close game man that's what's so terrible. Clutch games we either get blown the hell out, or we blow a team out. The receipt for inconsistently

 

[captain bill]

Would've been nice to have Monk and Huerter

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I can see why Monte thought standing pat seemed like a good idea, but in retrospect…

They're not a contender. Patience is more likely to pay off

 

[KF8]

Kings need another go to scorer especially if monk is gone. Murray is not ready for that yet. He is far too inconsistent and who knows if he'll ever reach that point.
