[Game] Kings v. Mavericks - Wednesday, Jan. 15 - 7PT/10ET

[Capt. Factorial]

Rebounds are killing us.

Fun fact, we have more offensive rebounds than the Mavs.

 

[burekijogurt]

we ARE outrebounding the Mavs by 1. although it does not look so when they get those long ones off 3 ptrs.

Fun fact: Not anymore.

Yeah, it always feels like offensive teams have the advantage on those bad misses but at the same time, the Kings need to tighten it up

 

[Tetsujin]

De'Aaron is ridiculous

 

[Groovygreg]

Fox is a great finisher.

 

[Tetsujin]

Are they saying that was in the act of shooting?

 

[Groovygreg]

Maybe the Kings could keep the Mavs off the board and out of the lane. That’d be great.

 

[Groovygreg]

Bjelica strong in the post. Love it.

Carlisle putting Bagley in the pick and roll over and over and attacking him relentlessly. It would be nice if we would do the same to Luka who is every bit as bad a defender as Bagley.

 

[kingsboi]

Kings defense incredibly putrid....Mavs getting whatever they want

 

[Tetsujin]

This is just two great young players dominating and Seth Curry playing like Steph for some reason

 

[Sluggah]

Some day we’ll play our 4th quarter defense in other quarters. Maybe even a whole game.

 

[Groovygreg]

Somebody should guard Curry. Just sayin’.

 

[kingsboi]

Mavs on pace to score about 140

 

[Tetsujin]

I realize we were afraid of De'Aaron picking up his third foul but he should have bee in there for the last shot

 

[Tetsujin]

For all the bluster and whinging, De'Aaron has been every bit as good as, if not better than, Luka tonight and neither guys seems to be playing particularly great

"I can't believe the Kings gave up 65 in the first half to the Magic."

Kings:

"Hold my beer."

To be fair, giving up 65 i a half to an offensive challenged team like the Magic is different than giving up 70 to a competent offense like the Mavs

 

[VF21]

Jerk Laker fan behind Koz needs to get the Fox treatment from Doug.

Feels like he usually Tony Delks us.

 

[VF21]

In case you missed it the first time...

MOD NOTE: I guess I need to be more clear. Articles about Luka, tweets about Luka, pictures of Luka, etc. DO NOT GO HERE. They can be posted in the Luka Doncic thread. The few remaining Kings fans who actually want to talk about the KINGS and tonight's game have sanctuary here in the game thread. In addition, the moratorium on scapegoating and player bashing, as mentioned in the previous game thread, continues tonight. Hopefully a word to the wise will suffice.

I realize that Bagley's play is probably going to be magnified in this game in particular but it's not like he's the only guy forgetting to guard the best shooter on the other team and failing to box out to secure basic rebounds.

true but it’s not an accident Bagley’s man is coming out repeatedly on the high ball screens. Carlisle is a very good coach.

Are we back in the ABA?

 

[VF21]

Now is the time for Walton to have a fit.

 

[sergmatt]

Powell clearly through a shoulder shiv

 

[VF21]

At least playing 5 on 8 teaches toughness, right?
