[Game] Kings v. Pelicans 1/28/16. 5PM PST, 8PM EST.

[White_Chocolate]

Why is he taking Ben out? He is the only one able to defend and was aggressive on offense.

giving him a rest so he can finish the game?

 

[fansinceday1]

So you'd rather give up layups?

Instead of leaving the guy who's going for a career high wide open? Uh....YES.

 

[Glenn]

We are winning this quarter also. Kinda

 

[KingsFanGER]

These guys are being told to sag inward and leave the 3 point line. That has to be it. There is no other explanation.
Didn't karl say a couple weeks ago that its defend the lane FIRST?

Even if it's defend the lane first, this is no excuse for close out attempts we are seeing from Rondo, Dc, Marco and Willie.

 

[Glenn]

giving him a rest so he can finish the game?

It better be although sometimes he is forgotten in the 4th quarter.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Man we ****ed up that run.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

WHY DID WE PASS UP TWO THREES

 

[Glenn]

Man we ****ed up that run.

Start another.

 

[k_dubb90]

Limit perimeter shots! It's 3 after 3 after 3

 

[kingsboi]

Instead of leaving the guy who's going for a career high wide open? Uh....YES.

it's a lose lose really....it comes down to being able to stay in front of your man and communicating properly to help each other, which this team as constructed is incapable of doing so.

 

[White_Chocolate]

We need to shoot when we have an open shot...

 

[hrdboild]

I'm not sure our players are aware that the point of the pump fake is to get yourself a better shot.

 

[White_Chocolate]

I don't think I want to watch Bellinelli play anymore.

[SacTownGrantFan]

Jrue Holiday, another guard tearing the Kings' defense to shreds.

Sagging in is not the same as not even being close to the 3 point shooter. Willie not picking up Anderson in transition has nothing to do with defensive scheme of sagging in.

 

[kingsboi]

92 points allowed through three quarters to a team missing Davis, Tyreke & Gordon...very very impressive

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

I don't see us coming back.

 

[fansinceday1]

This is embarrassing. Maybe worse than the other embarrassing loses we've experienced?
This pelicans team is a glorified NBA D league squad.

 

[Glenn]

Good D on Anderson. He missed an 85 footer.

 

[Peter_Gibbons]

Down 13 again. We basically need a Boogie explosion in the 4th in order to win this. The defense is just ridiculous!

 

[kingsboi]

Jrue Holiday, another guard tearing the Kings' defense to shreds.

same story. different guard. rinse. repeat.

 

[jcwkings]

WTF is going on? This is embarassing.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Jrue Holiday, another guard tearing the Kings' defense to shreds.

At least this one is a former All-Star.

 

[SacTownGrantFan]

Any team that has talented guards is a bad matchup against the Kings.

 

[PurpleHaze]

We need to shoot when we have an open shot...

In middle of The Munsters theme song?

 

[Glenn]

I don't see us coming back.

And with that, I see a trade coming.

 

[Sac.Kings]

We never win these games. When we come out listless, it's as close to a guaranteed loss as it gets.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

And with that, I see a trade coming.

A perimeter defender has been long overdue for this team.

 

[kingsboi]

We never win these games. When we come out listless, it's as close to a guaranteed loss as it gets.

they won't win this game just the way its going. They make a run and all but they don't hold down the defensive effort and intensity long enough to get over the hump so therefore you find yourself just trading baskets really.
