[Game] Kings @ Phoenix Suns, 2/13/2024, 7:00p PT/10:00p ET (TNT)

[Caccia]

Three small guards plus Sabonis and Murray. I wonder how this is going to go?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Superteam mentality is to keep is close and close out. Beal being out makes it unwise for them though.

Gordon and Allen are more dangerous than Beal right now

 

[Caccia]

Gordon and Allen are more dangerous than Beal right now

Gordon does not usually shoot like this. He has 12.3 points per game on nearly 30 minutes, average.

 

[Sluggah]

What are we doing.

 

[captain bill]

Monk with a couple careless turnovers now trying to get too fancy

 

[twslam07]

Gordon is guarding Keegan. I’d like to see us test that matchup.

 

[Kingz19]

The entire defense does not need to collapse on Royce o Neale ffs

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Booker went a long way across the lane on only two steps there

 

[Sluggah]

i call redo on that quarter

 

[White_Chocolate]

How is Booker never called for offensive fouls ?

 

[HndsmCelt]

Kings went cold... Need to find that spark plug for the 4th

 

[Kingz19]

Fox and Monk got turnover happy in that quarter.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

On the plus side, history suggests that the fact that they're trailing after three means that they're probably not going to sleepwalk through the fourth.

 

[SacTownKid]

Big test for Fox here. This is on you. Don't be passing over to Keegan rookie LeBron style dude.

 

[chief bromden]

Did Keegan get too jacked to shoot threes?

 

[SacTownKid]

Did Keegan get too jacked to shoot threes?

That's on Fox right there. He played hot potato and Keegan was the unlucky one. haha.

 

[iowamcnabb]

We haven’t faired well when we haven’t shot well from 3 (29 percent) but that doesn’t feel like the culprit right now. Really dumb turnovers and poor shot quality. We were probably lucky to escape that quarter given the early foul trouble.

get after these guys and let’s get the offense flowing again. Give me some Barnes inside game

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Gordon and Allen are more dangerous than Beal right now

Gordon does not usually shoot like this. He has 12.3 points per game on nearly 30 minutes, average.

The key phrase being "right now". Have to in game adjust to what a player is doing currently

 

[Kingz19]

Wide open

 

[White_Chocolate]

Bad last few minutes. We aren’t passing or playing D

 

[captain bill]

Feels like we're barely running an offense on top of defense disappearing

 

[Sluggah]

 

[SacTownKid]

Not. Good.

 

[Shaqfuey]

This small ball lineup is a mess. Get Sabonis back in. Really missing Lyles here.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Ouch small ball experiment seems to fail

 

[SacTownKid]

The next few minutes might be the tale of the rest of the year. Don't get too high, don't get too low.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Feels like we're barely running an offense on top of defense disappearing

We lost focus in the last few minutes of the first half. We haven't regained it, and if history is a guide, we won't regain it tonight.

 

[Kingz19]

It’s all Fox one on one with an occasional Monk one on one. It’s not working. Basically the same garbage as last game when Phoenix went small

 

[Caccia]

Not. Good.

Mike Brown was not happy with that defense, and neither am I.

 

[twslam07]

We’re trading pull up contested midrange jumpers by Fox for open 3s due to us doubling. I don’t like those odds.
