why can the Kings never perform at home? home court advantage in the playoffs is going to mean nothing lol

I know!!

 

[dude12]

Not making 3s tends to be a loss for this team, maybe today is different or they get hot

 

[kingdivac]

Kings need to win the 3Q even if by a point.

 

[kingdivac]

Can we stop messing around already and win this?

I think your 3pt prediction is off unfortunately......

 

[Kingz19]

Any reason Monk is Not playing?

he got hit in the Wilsons last game

I like Slamson. I think the Gorilla was my favorite, mostly because I remember him coming to Kings games before Slamson existed. Coyote seems far less offensive than the worst mascots I've seen. Otherwise I have no set rankings.

The Gorilla is one of the most interesting mascots in pro sports. The dude worked as a freelance mascot for mutliple teams - taking on different jerseys. Genius business model if you ask me. Eventually sold his persona/long term contract to the Suns. But this dude created this character from scratch. The Suns didn't go out and decide they wanted a Gorilla. They hired the Gorilla because he was so great at what he does.

Thank you for coming to my NBA ted talk.

I like Slamson and at least we don't have the Blazers new mascot, that thing will give you ****ing nightmares.

I love this team, but I think they are really up there with some of the worst defensive teams we've had in the past 15 years... I've never really seen anything quite like this. Guys who average 5.4ppg end up with 26pts. We let G-League players look like future All-Stars for a night

 

[206Fan]

someone must've snitched on Sabonis for those screens

 

[KF8]

this is bad this is bad.. sabonis in foul trouble fox not playing well.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

All I can say is we better win this.

 

[kingdivac]

They won the 3Q by 1 pt - beginning of something.

 

[Sluggah]

Kings need to win the 3Q even if by a point.

They did exactly that.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Well this game is obviously still more than winnable I'm spoiled enough to be pissed that we're not up by 10 at the moment

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

We play with a weird hushed energy at home all the time. It’s annoying that G1C isn’t more of a home court advantage.

Unfortunately I agree. I thought the 08/09 team was putrid on the defensive end(And they were)but nothing like this. Need to lock down defenders better and not give teams so much space.

Fox is chucking 3s

 

[KainLear]

he got hit in the Wilsons last game

He got hit by a Wilson in the Wilsons?

I get the frustration, but our records home and away are nearly identical. I do not think that come playoff time with the best officials being the only ones working and a huge national media spotlight that the HCA will be meaningless. Especially if it comes to a game 7.

We need to do better at home to move into elite team status. But playoffs and regular season are different animals.

Fox is chucking 3s

Not sure why we look so anxious if you will; you'd think we hadn't already clinched a playoff spot

 

[KF8]

The worst game by fox this season? Chucking 3's and no defense

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Memphis lost so huge opportunity to close within one game of 2 and we still haven't clinched 3rd/Pacific yet. Never underestimate that final hurdle.

 

[SLAB]

You’re making me salty as I sit in SoFi Stadium waiting for WrestleMania to start, Kings. Don’t lose this.

 

[dude12]

Good timeout by Brown…..raise the defensive intensity dammit

I know friend, just being facetious lol. But yeah big chance here to gain ground for sure.

Kings in the 2020-2021 season had I believe the worst defense in NBA history before this season had a bunch of teams that gave up more points. That team was still even worse than this Kings team defensively in points allowed

It’s far and away the worst defense on a good team ever. It’s baffling how bad we can be with the record they have.

Who's Mankind going against?

 

[Sluggah]

Oof. Rough sequence for Barnes

 

[pdxKingsFan]

This team is pretty sound in the second half and during the clutch defensively. Undefeated in OT as well. Not saying our defense is where it needs to be but our woes are also overstated a bit by folks who want to downplay our success.
