We’re just gonna lose every 3 point differential aren’t we

6 minutes to get this to 8

What, our total points for the quarter?

 

[Sluggah]

Get it under 10 before the 4th and we might be okay.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I'm sorry, there's no way that's a reckless close out

Get it under 10 before the 4th and we might be okay.

that gives us a chance, but we are going to burn out our guys if we keep having to come back. We need a few blowouts in our favor

Well... the Kings did play an OT game in Phoenix last night while the Spurs have been in San Antonio for 5 days and have had the last 2 days off. Not a surprise we're getting out hustled. The bigger concern are the issues which have been there all season ... Lack of bench depth, leaving shooters open, and going long stretches without being able to make a basket.

 

[hrdboild]

Great defense by the Kings on that possession. I loved the close out by DeMar.

 

[SacTownKid]

Good switch by Domas, bit on the fake though.

Every team’s game plan against us is just going to be to shoot as many threes as possible. We can’t stop it.

 

[SacTownKid]

The Kings are trying to find poise in the wrong players right now. Your two guys are Fox and DDR. That's it.

 

[hrdboild]

I'm so done with Lyles backing up on 3pt shooters. If I were the coach he wouldn't leave the bench until he shows me a good contest.

 

[iowamcnabb]

You have 4 minutes to get this within striking distance. 4 minutes.

 

[twslam07]

24% 3P% tonight. Maybe we really do need to trade for Cam Johnson…sheesh…

 

[hrdboild]

The shots aren't falling but the Kings managed to match the Spurs' energy level in the last 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter. They're still not out of this if 4th quarter Fox and DeMar show up.

Only 71 points after 3 quarters is unforgivable.

 

[hrdboild]

Two Kings possessions, two 3pt chucks. Not winning basketball.

 

[iowamcnabb]

2 minutes to get this to 8 or 9

 

[SacTownKid]

There you go, don't just let Wemby dribble right into you like that. Get in his dribble.

 

[coolhandluke]

Having to depend on DeMar to bail them out again. Where is the offense?

That first year kind of created some really bad habits. Always looking for the home run shots.

 

[The_Jamal]

Really nothing to talk about until we fix our shooting and 3pt defense. -10 3PM. Rest of the game doesn't matter.

Hey, last year they needed mean Fox to tell his teammates to get him the freaking ball and get out of his way. Might be time for mean DeMar if Fox ain't up to it.

there isn’t one if you can’t shoot and have
Back to back overtime legs. No paint game tonight

 

[Tetsujin]

I mean, Mamu randomly shooting like Steph doesn’t help

 

[Kingz19]

I wonder if they think it’s a coincidence that every team shoots lights out from three against them.

This is your pet theory. What's obvious to me when watching this team is that they'll waste 5 possessions in a row trying to get one 3pt shot to fall when they have two players who are almost automatic inside the arc once they get in rhythm. Chasing after 3s is what's killing our offense.
