This is on Fox right now. Keep munching before this gets out of hand.

Fox should not take a 3 on a 17-2 run. Pressure the hoop.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Is the T'Wolves' PA system playing fake shot clock buzzers?

 

[The_Jamal]

Pretty sure that Fox missed 3 was 99% in the hoop lol

That was a system shot but yeah, when the system fails, you must takeover if you're a true go to.

 

[The_Jamal]

And McDaniels drains a fadeaway contested mid-range lol. I swear we're pretty unlucky with some of these shots hit vs us

 

[SacTownKid]

Mean Fox needs to tell his teammates to hold his beer every play. He's got this going. The Wolves aren't falling for the DHO, McDaniels is all over those when Keegan is peeking. More draw and kick to Keegan.

 

[Kingz19]

Huerter is the worst free throw shooter in the starting lineup. Don’t get cute

 

[The_Jamal]

HB should be taking Tech's. I get trying to give Huerter some confidence, but we can't be throwing away points

 

[The_Jamal]

What a stupid call. Much less on a star....

im blacked out so I can’t watch but there have been a few games where he took a three when we really needed a bucket and he has been below average from 3 the last 25 games or so. Just don’t think that’s the best shot for him

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Jacking up contested threes when you are cold is certainly one way you can lose a game. This will be disappointing loss if we don’t turn it around.

It was wide open, in rhythm. I agree if he's shooting off the bounce/contested type 3's, but you can't ask for a better shot than that.

Makes absolutely no sense. Even Fox had a look like what are we doing

 

[SacTownKid]

I think someone needs to let Fox know they might not make it to the 4th tonight. Star Fox has to come out now. Being waay too unselfish after he was getting wherever he wanted to.

 

[sauce-26]

Why are we leaving edwards WIDE open???

 

[SacTownKid]

Why are we leaving edwards WIDE open???

It's the Kings help scheme at it's worst. Finch has really outcoached Brown 2 games in a row so far. He's checked him with lineups and clearly scouted the Kings on both ends.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Yeah this is a loss. No Sabonis for the rest of the quarter and we’re still cold lmao.

 

[KF8]

only 10 assists so far.. that's alarming

 

[iowamcnabb]

Gotta just hang in there and hope we can turn it on at the end.

 

[SacTownKid]

Metu at C just might put this one out of reach if the offense doesn't start clicking. That defense, smh.

 

[Kingz19]

That was the game where Grant Napear declared the Kings didn’t need to score in the 4th quarter and they will win

 

[HndsmCelt]

Time for Metu to step up

 

[iowamcnabb]

Let’s be the team that closes out the quarter well

 

[Kingz19]

Ah yes, here comes the second chance points

gotta touch all the bases

 

[SacTownKid]

And that should be about it for Metu, lol.

 

[TaxMan]

Can we go Holmes instead of metu please?

 

[The_Jamal]

Metu just isn't it man. I get we're likely keeping Holmes on ice until the deadline so he doesn't get hurt, but god it's bad. If Monte does anything, he has to bring in another back-up C option we can trust

 

[KF8]

This is such an odd game.. it feels like a loss but we're only down 2? must be kings fans being accustomed to losing for 16 years straight. lol

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

It’s unbelievable how we continue to give up rebounds like that. I get Metu is undersized, but for how often the coaches emphasize rebound he HAS to box out there.
