[Game] Kings v. Blazers 10/25/19 7PM PT/10PM ET

They officials SUCK

This team sucks.

 

[Livinthedream]

At least the players like Luke more than Joerger. That's worth something, right?

I sense a hint of sarcasm

 

[SacTownKid]

Kings defense is swiss cheese

You can't play your bigs off the pick and roll anymore. Not in the West. You have no chance if you do. It will be Curry one night, Lillard the next, Kawhi after, and so on. And apparently you can beat a dead horse because from what I've seen physical NBA defense is even deader than before. You can't do ANYTHING anymore.

Maybe they can play like it next game.

 

[TaxMan]

This is, not good

 

[dude12]

We are soft

A lot of the better teams i played on when i was younger were coached by guys who weren't buddies with the players, but who put them in the position to succeed. I played on a few teams that sucked where we all loved the coach. Pop is not a "players coach".

 

[Livinthedream]

I sense a hint of sarcasm

Sarcasm is all I got at this point.

 

[Kingz19]

Take a shot

Grant complains about duration of review

 

[MizzouKing]

Its looking like that India trip may have cut more into needed prep time than advertised. Guys lack chemistry, make stupid fouls repeatedly, spend a lot of time standing there dribbling the ball, and look thoroughly discombobulated overall.

 

[theclash4u5]

So who is projected to be a top 5 pick next year?

 

[Sluggah]

WTH Dame

 

[Bronson13]

Lol this team is definitely not it chief.

 

[Tetsujin]

De'Aaron killing himself just to keep games remotely close is not ideal.

This is also a concern of mine. Been throwing his body around all game.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Signed up to say that, huh?

 

[Tetsujin]

Maybe the halftime review-the-film-and-bake sessions were a bad idea.

it's an offensive minded game now....times have changed unfortunately. That said, can't blame the way the officials call it now a days, the players and coaches have to adapt to it. Other teams have to go through it just the same way the Kings do. Kings just don't have the personnel or the strength on the inside to limit possessions and execute a half court offense when necessary.

Well, apparently there is a "Hotboxing with Brad Miller" segment being planned for the new half time show.

 

[Tetsujin]

Trolls gotta troll

 

[Sluggah]

Well, we improved a little. In a 9 or 10 games we’ll only be losing by 2 or 3 maybe.

 

[kingsboi]

Fox will be the next King to go down with an injury, at least that's my feeling.

 

[Agent23]

De'Aaron killing himself just to keep games remotely close is not ideal.

He’s trying to send his team a message. Their toughness as a squad was questioned.

I really hope I’m wrong, and yes I realize it’s only 2 games, but I’m a little worried we’ve hitched our wagon to the wrong coach. nothing about the way our offense, defense, rotations, or in-game adjustments look fills me with confidence. i really hope I’m wrong. And hopefully it’s just India trip hangover.

 

[NewArena]

And the run stopped immediately

Jesus

*sigh. Glad i missed this one

 

[SacTownKid]

You hope! haha. We saw flashes but this team shouldn't be this disjointed to start the year on defense if that's what they've been working on. I mean, the offense being a step behind is excusable but c'mon now.

 

[Kingz19]

Take a shot

Kings lose

 

[Sactown ExPat]

I don’t like the body language of the team. It’s just not the right mix. Ariza and Dedmon are total duds. I don’t blame the FO—both signings made sense on paper. They just can’t play with these guys. We need an east coast swing to boost our confidence.

 

[theclash4u5]

Fox will be the next King to do down with an injury, at least that's my feeling.

He was injured last game, but he played anyways
