[Game] Kings @ Trailblazers - Wednesday, April 10 - 7:30PT/10:30ET

[SLAB]

Joerger Kings blowing leads like the Del Negro Bulls

And he stayed on and had a long career coaching the Bulls right?

 

[Tetsujin]

SAVE US BJ JOHNSON WHOEVER YOU ARE

 

[pdxKingsFan]

THIS IS NOT JOERGER'S FAULT. He shouldn't have to worry about resting his starters with the lead we had at the start of the 3rd. This is on the guys out there not named Bagley or Swanigan who have showboated, made stupid plays, etc.

Yeah, it's the players fault. But this game meant a lot to a lot of us and for whatever reason the players have let us down. At the point it became a single digit game again why not do something to right the ship. This is embarrassing.

I mean the starters won't play another competitive game for almost six months. Why not play them their 3rd quarter stint and put the game away?

 

[SacTownKid]

First off the game itself means nothing, but what an apropos way for the season to finish. Doug just called it out himself. Another team shuts down the Kings with a zone. Why? Because they insist on NOT running pick and roll. Not a positive sign heading into the summer. Although there were major strides this year play style wise, now the play calls have to follow or else this is going to stall big time.

 

[SLAB]

Lol, Mason you can go away too.

It sorta is his fault because he still hasn't taught this team how to beat a college defense.

 

[Hoovtrain]

God damn pathetic

 

[Hoovtrain]

What a fantastic end to what was such a great year.

 

[Kingz19]

Leave it to these guys to somehow turn this game into a collosal embarrassment

 

[Tetsujin]

Jesus, Frank Mason is like really really bad.

 

[Ozymandias]

I could not possibly disagree more. This is an embarrassment. I don't care if you're a starter or #13 in the rotation. You need to play SMART. These guys have made fools of themselves with just a couple of exceptions.

If I were Joerger, I'd be telling each of them to play like a freaking team.

No this is great... Do you want our roster to be exactly the same next year or something? If our backups can't hang with their 19 year olds.... we have an issue, it's best we find these leaks now to patch them before they blow up bigger next season..

Yeah, there are more factors going on here but not attempting pick and roll against a zone this many times has happened already. It's mind boggling.

[Kings_of_California]

I just checked the score and SKAL is destroying us?????

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Between this game, the Nets gm, the Suns gm... I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team quickly see 25+ pt leads evaporate in such a short time. This is a team that lacks mental toughness and late game intelligence. That’s a lot on the coaches teaching situation awareness

 

[Ozymandias]

Jesus, Frank Mason is like really really bad.

Monte Morris is so flawless when he's on his game too and we took Frank Mason 20 picks too early..

 

[SLAB]

Grant is pissed. Lol

 

[Sluggah]

Suddenly all we’re interested in doing is lazily chucking up ill-advised threes

 

[Ozymandias]

Its Simons really...

Skal did a lot of damage in the first quarter tho. Had like 10 or 14 points quickly.

 

[John Galt]

I know people should be positive - but the way the Kings puked down the stretch has turned from "understandable" to "freaking disgrace". There is some loser DNA in some of these guys. pathetic

 

[fansinceday1]

Well isn’t this 28 point blown lead just about the most fitting end to this miserable 2nd half of the season.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

If this ends the tenure of most of the guys not named Bagley on the court then so be it. But it certainly isn't moving the needle to promote the team as a hot young team to sign with either.

 

[Ozymandias]

Our guys are out-matched... Putting MArvin on the floor by his lonesome out there isnt enough..

 

[Suicide King]

Zone defense is the Kingslayer

 

[SacTownKid]

Boom right there. They finally ran a pick and roll through Caleb. He gets right into the middle of the floor. Normally the Kings should be able to shoot their way to not complete failure but how they don't run that earlier is unreal.

 

[Ozymandias]

Swanigan with great hands plucking that ball mid air with one hand to initiate the break and Mason finished the and-1





the 40-win dream aint dead yet!

 

[Tetsujin]

Caleb doing well-ish against the zone

 

[theclash4u5]

See ya Joerger

 

[Hoovtrain]

Come on you ****ers
