[Game] Kings @ Pistons, 9 JAN 2024 4PM PST/7PM EST

WOW... LOL just Elll Ohh Elll.

This half of basketball is a microcosm of the entire season. Incredible.

We're a bottom 5 team, or a top 5 team. Absolutely no in-between.

 

[LoungeLizard]

3 point lead at half just like we all predicted after being down 20

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

I definitely never doubted this team at all this game.

 

[whitechocolate]

"I'm going to leave and get McDonalds, and when I get back, the score will be corrected" is how this Kings fan fans.

 

[thingfish]

Ok everyone…you’re welcome!

I turned on the game to see wth was happening and they instantly went on the comeback run.

 

[ick300]

Well for those who stays positive - we are leading small at HT (1st quarter we don’t speak about )

 

[SacTownKid]

The one thing you would think the Pistons will take away in the second half is all that cherry picking the Kings were doing in transition, but they are a 3 win team for a reason.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kevin Huerter has quietly been a big pest on defense. He's going back to being captain deflection.

The dudes a 6’7” two guard so there is absolutely no reason he shouldn’t be getting a consistent amount of deflections.

 

[ick300]

Bro Fox. What?

there was a poltergeist with a rejection

 

[SacTownKid]

He's not much in one on one but you can see him scanning on almost every play anticipating passing angles.

 

[Remi]

Kings are Jekyll and Hyde - you dont know which will come out.
18% 3pt shooting...

 

[Tetsujin]

Someone make sure Mike Brown has the shot chart.

Game plan should be pretty simple here. pic.twitter.com/0UwSHPWJhJ

lol what even is this?

 

[Kingz19]

Domas going at Duren frequently probably because we needed somebody to score…

But Duren had said last season that Sabonis wasn’t hard to defend. So I think that has something to do with it as well.

That poster and yell sounded personal.

 

[Tetsujin]

Pistons did not make a shot in the final 7:00 of the second quarter and lost their 19-point lead. 68-65 Kings at the break. 26-4 run in the last seven minutes. Pistons missed 9 shots and had 6 turnovers in that time.

I really liked Morgan Ragan when she was on the radio and she seems super nice, but I find her so annoying on TV

Some frustration for sure. Domas is a competitive dude, needs to light up his guys more often.

Pretty sure that was the start of the Pistons going on their epic losing swing so I don’t think that worked out that great for them.

 

[KF8]

Still not all that optimistic.. Can the kings win this one shooting under 30% from 3?

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

We "quietly" put together our best offensive half of basketball of the season...

 

[Tetsujin]

This is quite possibly the most Keegan-ey highlight ever Keeganed

Honestly, they will have to learn to play/win like that if they want to get better

Shoot 3s. They'll never see it coming.

Regression to the mean. We're very likely to shoot better from three in the second half.

 

[Tizzy Flip]

You’re never out of it when the opposing team gives Alec Burks meaningful minutes

Against the Pistons the Kings should easily be able to. In theory lol.

Wow that's nuts

I think she's good.

 

[Kingz19]

Did they overturn Burks tech or did the Kings just not take the free throw yet?

 

[ick300]

We did not take the FT yet , i understood that the 3d quaerter will start with it

 

[SacTownKid]

It'll be interesting to see what the Pistons do at the start of the 3rd. A few good punches and they should stay down for the count.
