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

worried about kings roleplayers. They have brought nothing so far. Other than fox and sabonis only murray has scored 1 point.
 
They've simply brought over the Warriors defensive switching....letting anyone guard anyone....it bit em once so far with Barnes getting screened out up top

The Pelicans basically force those though and if you want titles you have to switch at some point. We already know, if the Kings double, or even help over it's wide open 3's for teams and if they hit them and the Kings go cold it's over. The Kings have been pressuring the dribble better with Keon in the lineup so that's been a difference maker. The Kings playing a bunch of small G's has been the reason the switching has been so poor this year, now that Brown has been playing bigger it hasn't been as big of an issue. Yet, of course haha.
 
These Pelicans games have often gotten away from the Kings when Alvarado comes in.

Kings need to win these minutes
 
Need a lot more of that: drawing fouls is arguably the one elite-level talent that Barnes has, when he can actually bother to be engaged in the offense.
 
Murray might not have it tonight. Pelicans have elite wing defenders. Someone else or a combination of guys will have to step up.
