[Game] Kings @ Thunder, 2/28/2023 5:00pm Pacific 8:00pm Eastern

[Woot!]

Nice ball movement tonight. Lotta possessions where all five guys touched it.

 

[KainLear]

Damn, that's a pretty impressive fluke.

Is that how treadmill works?

 

[The_Jamal]

I mean, there is an easy fix. Monk is backup PG, TD plays the 2 and PJ Dozier plays some 3.

Yeah or Kessler. OR you just play a 9 man rotation and cycle HB/Keegan or Huerter at the back-up 3

 

[Kingz19]

Taking care of business and taking out the trash

3-0 road trip

 

[fansinceday1]

Clips are gonna be out for blood Friday. Hope the kings are ready.

Our next game isn't till Friday. Everyone the next couple days:

Could work but Davion gets cut. The small G lineups are one of the first things he yanks if the defense goes from bad to terrible. Also, remember Brown almost always has one of Fox or Domas out there for a reason, and we saw why tonight.

Good thing we (hopefully) have Fox all rested up and ready to go.

Clippers will be on a back to back. So it will be tough. Let’s see which game they choose to load manage Kawhi.

Davion did not appear to be a problem.

Eh, I think tonight was a horrid representation of what we could potentially do without Fox AND Domas on the floor. There's like 7 deltas between Fox running that 2nd unit and Delly lol. I have to believe you can find a better solution with like a Monk-TD-Huerter-HB-Lyles sort of LU

Probably why the Lakers want to play us so bad, knowing we'd only get 3 road games against them.


but also because it means they made the playoffs when in reality they are probably going to send a lotto pick to New Orleans.

18-13 on the road.

18-12 at home.

Establishing a real HC advantage has to be their next move on the path to becoming a perennial playoff team.

This season will be hard to top as far as entertainment. The beam, an actual good coach, a rookie with potential, 2 all stars, winning, record breaking offense and the newness of chasing the playoffs. Generally the two or three most fun years are that first competent season and the true contender years

 

[Rain man]

I know a lot of people worried about these two games, even with Shai sitting, but the Kings trailed for exactly 15 seconds over the 96 minutes. They trailed 2-0 for 15 seconds tonight. I know it wasn’t always pretty, and we allowed them all the way back tonight, but keeping the lead is what good teams do.

It would be worth a shot, but tonight it didn't matter, TD and Monk were kind of out of it themselves and you're still relying on TD and Harrison to be go to's against legit competition, which yes, Barnes can but that night the question of will he arises. As for Lyles playing C, it's clearly not going to happen. Metu has some secret pics of Brown stashed somewhere.

 

[Woot!]

Huerter not a PG.

Aa nice secondary ball handler in the half court, but not the guy you want bringing it up against pressure.

So far this season, that's a guaranteed L. especially if they load manage Kawhi.

And the starters were pretty dominant.

They will also be on their 3rd game in 4 nights. That's a lot

they don't want to risk him playing more than 36 minutes

Lakers: "We'd prefer to face the Kings in the playoffs. We match up well against them."

Translation: "We're really desperate to get a playoff spot and would be really embarrassed if we missed it because of the cost of our payroll."

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Especially given their age.

Davion is the starter, because fox is out.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Welcome back Kevin Huerter and Davion Mitchell.

I like this K9 way more than the last one.

Damn, that's a pretty impressive fluke.
