[Game] Kings @ Spurs 1/15/2023 4pm Pacific 7pm Eastern

It feels wrong to be extremely harsh on Kings after a half where they are down 1 point on a road , but this was very very disappointing performance so far imo

 

[Fantazija]

You know what would be crazy is if we actually boxed guys out.

It feels like everyone expects DS to get defensive rebound and if he doesn't oh well nothing I can do

 

[LoungeLizard]

Draper not happy

 

[SacTownKid]

Thank goodness Barnes has been stepping it up offensively lately, this would have been one of those games where the Kings are down 10 at half instead of 1.

This has been a trend the last three games in the first half. Now bring out the clamps

Not a tactic they'll be able to rely on against teams not in the bottom third of the standings. They need to figure this defense thing out.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Fox needs to show up this half.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Pop hates our defense so much he called our timeout for us.

I wouldn’t call it a tactic, it’s not intentional. I agree they need to figure it out before the game instead of halftime adjustments

 

[Kingster]

Fox's D on the last play of the half was embarrassing, totally losing site of his man on the baseline. And with his in-laws in the stands no less.

 

[Sluggah]

Some nice boards from Keegan

 

[Kingz19]

Consecutive misses!

 

[Sluggah]

Foul was…where?

 

[Woot!]

I'm gonna say it: I do NOT enjoy that DFox roll-the-ball-up-the-floor move. Ugh. And then when no other King touches the ball before the shot goes up? Nah. Don't like it.

Momma said there'd be days like this, but, generally, this game is not enjoyable.

 

[Kingz19]

Oh, no Vassell…thank goodness. I forgot he was on the Spurs

 

[Tetsujin]

‘Put them on a flight like an IG model” LMAO

 

[dude12]

Refs take Domas out with weak foul calls

 

[Woot!]

Playing as little D now!

 

[Fantazija]

HB is awesome

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Excited to see these Sochan FTS

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

They did. Then they turned around and signed him to a 10-day contract. Kind of baffling.

Could there have been some sort of guarantee situation?

 

[Fantazija]

Very nice pass by Metu

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Could there have been some sort of guarantee situation?

That has to be the situation. But I don't think we see that kind of move very often. Seems normally if you still want the guy around, you just guarantee him.

 

[dude12]

Monk zero points right now…..need more

 

[Sac.Kings]

We've really greased the hinges on the barn door

The hinges must be the only thing left since literally everyone can enter and score anytime they wish

 

[Fantazija]

Mitchell misses a three, long rebound , Spurs are trying to go fast and Damion hustles back to cause a travel. I wish that was a constant from everyone

 

[Das_Boot]

Is Jones ok?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Mitchell misses a three, long rebound , Spurs are trying to go fast and Damion hustles back to cause a travel. I wish that was a constant from everyone

The sad thing is that Davion's defense rubbed off on the whole team for the first few weeks of his rookie year, then everybody just went back to minimal effort.

 

[Kingz19]

Good for Sochan.

I think bad free throw shooters should be required to adopt an ugly uncool free throw form that works better than standard(one handed, underhanded, whatever). I mean, it’s your damn job. I don’t care if it makes you look lame. The hook shot and effective free throw forms have been abandoned because they don’t look cool. Byron Scott said that once and I agree with him

I think Clint Capela also adopted the Rick Barry form during his first season until he became better than a 17 percent FT shooter or whatever he was. Now he’s like 60 percent.

 

[Fantazija]

Much much better D in the 3rd
