And on Coach to emphasize it and hold his players accountable when they don’t execute

TNT announcers: "Welcome to the play in, that would be a foul in regular season". Larry Nance getting the treatment just because he once was a Laker and kind of helped the Lakers move to the playoffs (with his 2 subpar performances in the last 2 matches vs the Lakers).

It was always going to be this way. Get ready, because next season it could go back to being G overload even if they trade Huerter. Monte has to start trimming down his roster a bit and this season proved yet again, depth 10-11 deep looks great on paper but in reality it means nothing. Even with injuries it's sometimes the Keon Ellis type who picks up the slack anyway.
Keegan having a bad game. HB is not. Offense obv. discombobulated.
AND it's just 9. Take care of the ball, hit some shots, control the defensive boards.

It's make or miss. Had they hit shots, it would be different. Still got a half to go
The rare "sad like."

Well he shot once. Our strategy was to feed Keegan and it didn’t work

We played pretty well the first 10 minutes of the game and then yikes. Our bench absolutely let us down that half, Davion with some terrible decision making, Lyles was a ghost. Keegan’s shot looked flat and he looked legit hurt on that floor slip. Unless Fox goes supernova I’m not feeling very optimistic about our chances to win. Seemed like the Pelicans were getting the shots they wanted in that 2nd quarter too. SMH. 5-20 from 3, missed FTs. I guess being down 9 all things considered is good?
Yes but Sabonis, Keegan and even Fox were a big part of why we shot ourselves out of the second quarter, you can't bench them, even Keegan, and win.

Just to note Monk has struggled against the Pelicans this year too shooting 33%. Pretty much all the catch and shoot options for the Kings have been useless this season against them. It sure would be nice to have that extra pick and roll initiator right now though.
Lets hope he will be BACK not just back ...
Otherwise better stay in locker room today

Lots of negativity here. Please explain to me the Kings' defensive strategy, because I can't figure it out. They played strict man-to-man until late in the second quarter, but the same guys were not always guarding the same opponent. I think three different men were on McCollum. Same for Ingram.
And yes, pass the damn rock.

and the Pelicans don't have Williamson

Hopefully that doesn't kick Sasha back to the vortex if things don't turn around quick. Keegan was getting some decent looks though.
Still that guy was smoking from the 3pt last few games ... he has to step in with some shoots as well when is obvious that we play 2 against all the rest
ok 2.5 cause HB step in as well (respect to him though i am one of the biggest haters of him)

That pissed me off
I would be fine with the “letting them play” by not calling muggings in the paint if they didn’t turn around and call marginal bumps in the backcourt or on and 1’s.

Without Murray's defense, it's going to be a tough hill
I would like the Kings' chances better to come back from a nine-point halftime deficit against twenty-eight other teams than the Pelicans. Even the Celtics.
Maybe that's why he's missing. Too much time to think about his shots.
