[Game] Kings @ Timberwolves 1/30/2023 5pm Pacific 8pm Eastern

Can we go Holmes instead of metu please?

It's not really fair to Metu to be honest, he just simply isn't a center. He's a PF in a league of very few opportunities when it comes to that position.

 

[sauce-26]

Metu shows you something every once in a while that gives you ho……aaaaaand then no box out for a layup smh

 

[SacTownKid]

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.

He's just not quick enough to help and recover. I think I've counted at least 8 points Edwards has scored directly on him in some fashion.

But he tried PF and that didn't work either because he doesn't have wing skills. Just unfortunately wrong place at the wrong time for his skill-set. Kind of like Bagley where he'd be a starter 15 years ago, but his game just doesn't work in the modern NBA

How was that not two illegal screens up top?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kings have been in the penalty for four minutes; Timberwolves have yet to be charged with a team foul in the quarter.

 

[dude12]

I do like the 3 guard lineup at times…..makes us quicker but we need to team rebound

 

[Kingz19]

Lob had no chance.

 

[The_Jamal]

Perfect timing for good TD to show up. Man, he'd be such a nice rotation player if he didn't swing so much to good or bad.

 

[The_Jamal]

Once again, how the hell does that Barnes shot not go in??

 

[SacTownKid]

The question is what does he look like as a top option? Remember last season, at one point he was putting up like 17 per game I think. He's at least got the stones to go out and take his piece haha.

 

[The_Jamal]

I mean the Kings are probably playing at like 30% of their capacity and still just down 3. Minny is trying to give away this game for us to take.

 

[Kingz19]

It seems every Monk pass is failing

The Wolves are probably 30% without Towns though too.

Surprisingly the wolves are 12th in defensive rating. It's probably no coincidence our offense suck against them two nights straight.

Gobert is pretty good when you don't force him to guard pick and roll all night.

 

[Kingz19]

Get Monk the hell out of there

he couldn’t pass gas after a bean dinner right now

 

[sauce-26]

My wife is getting mad at monk and his turnovers. So am i too lol

 

[The_Jamal]

Eh, not really. They're like 11-4 their last 15 games with Gobert in his proper spot and Edwards really coming into his own as a #1.

 

[Kingz19]

Let’s not have the worst free throw shooter in the floor take this technical

 

[The_Jamal]

Lol Domas yelling at TD for bringing his defender right to him in the post. There's the Bball IQ stuff he needs to clean up

 

[sauce-26]

Double double!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, Kings Fans will be happy that Huerter isn't available to shoot this one.

 

[Sluggah]

As angry as Reid is…Fox & Sabonis have taken 3 FTs this game. Ridiculous

 

[HndsmCelt]

Monk+TD+Mitchell= full chaos mode

 

[The_Jamal]

Not at all. IIRC, Gobert has never been on a team he's anchored lower than 12th in Def Rtg. Add in a few other good defenders like McDaniels, Prince, Naz etc.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Hot take: Timberwolves are better without Big Sawfty.

 

[The_Jamal]

Mitchell getting punished for excellent defensive positioning. Looked like Nowell was the one pushing off him to create contact.

 

[Kingz19]

there’s Monk

 

[hrdboild]

If the Kings win this game with their top 3 shooters going 3 for 16 from deep the TWolves should be ashamed of themselves! This game is there for the taking with one extended run.
