[Game] Kings vs 76ers 1/21/2023 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[Tizzy Flip]

maybe we just have tired legs.. we played last night.

Here we go. Sixers are also on the tail end of a long road trip. And playing without the MVP and former MVP. And we were up 21 with a min left in the first half. This is unacceptable

 

[SacTownKid]

There we go. They're giving the Kings space at the rim, get there, just not from iso drives because they are collapsing every play.

 

[Woot!]

Halfcourt O is just awful right now. Need to get stops and run.

and there it is

Don't think this is a game the Kings should win. The sixers are a well disciplined team even without their stars and are very capable of beating us

Tired of this excuse. They are world class athletes and the Sixers are missing their 2 All-Stars.

Ummm, well, you'll most likely get your wish.

 

[Kingz19]

35-19 rebounding edge for Philly

 

[pdxKingsFan]

More than anything Metu going down seemed to suck the air out of the sails. Especially because we finally seemed to have some competence in the second unit. It would be a huge loss if he is out long term. Of course not like losing one of our core, but it took us half the season to get into the swing that group got into the last two weeks.

Sixers are probably a worse matchup for us without those two though honestly. Maxey and a bunch of 3 and D role players who play fast is harder to exploit on offense than walking sieve James Harden and a huge 7'2" guy with bad knees. And Sabonis is having an uncharacteristically terrible game.

especially when every time the Kings play a team on a back to back those teams never have “tired legs”…atleast none that matter against this terrible defense

There again though, it's a bad excuse. Players will go down. It happens all the time.

It's not an excuse. It's a) reality and b) a big concern until we fill the spot.

 

[Kingz19]

Oh look, they still have a pulse

 

[HndsmCelt]

It was always going to take defense

Why does it also always seem every Kentucky guard has a huge game against us? Between Booker, Shai, and Maxey it’s fees like a career night for all of them. It’s like they all play up against their buddies Fox and Monk

 

[Tetsujin]

Keegan really turning it on defensively in this quarter. Has had some really nice possessions switched onto Milton.

 

[Woot!]

Annoying that this team waits til the 4th to rev up the D.

Those guys haven't really scored much above their averages against us though. They're just good at basketball.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

It's an excuse that anybody else's play drops off, if because someone else got injured. The backup center role is a separate discussion.

Might have something to do with Kentucky attracting NBA quality guards. NBA factory.

 

[Kingz19]

Stupid

 

[Woot!]

Grrrrrr.

 

[Tetsujin]

Why did the three all star guards play like all stars against us?

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Can’t wait until Brown realizes Monk can’t play fourth quarter minutes when he’s this bad.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Just keep the pressure on the rim and get a few more stops. Right in this

I am not excusing the performance jesus dude. I am talking about what a disaster losing Metu could be.

 

[KF8]

How long does monk need to get out of his slump its been 2 months!

 

[sactowndog]

Dumb play. Not a turnover but should be one.

 

[Woot!]

That wasn't on Monk.
