[Game] Kings vs 7akers 7PM Pacific, 10PM Eastern (11/30)

[ShastaKingsFan]

Speaking of height. Metu is the same height as Howard

 

[kb02]

Can’t let them hang around. Get it to double digits and keep it there

without Lebron, think this game is a lock for the Kings. Lakers look horrible.

[Tetsujin]

Kings keeping keep away from Fox for some reason right now.

 

[SacTownKid]

OK, they need Fox to take this here. Too much team ball with players that can't get their own shots off. Buddy is number 2 in line but that's about the only choice they have with Barnes out.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Get Holmes back in

 

[SacTownKid]

I think Fox needs to back to Fox.

Well, if they aren't going to call pick and roll for him, he needs to call it for himself.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings keep trying to run Buddy/Davion picks with Len but that's completely stupid when you've still got De'Aaron Fox in the game with them.

Kings love to play down to competition and getting beat by teams missing their best players.

 

[Woot!]

They were up 14 early in the quarter. Now down 2.

Think we might have benefitted from an earlier timeout, AG.

We know that nothing is a lock with a Kings team

Mitchell is more dangerous than Haliburton but he can't finish over bigs so if he isn't beating them or getting a little jumper then he's going to have to swing the ball back out too.

 

[Kingster]

Well, if they aren't going to call pick and roll for him, he needs to call it for himself.

He's had two baseline to baseline drives in this game, which is two more than for the entire season. Things are looking up. Now if he can get his turnovers down the Kings might have a chance in this game.

And especially without HB. It's the games where he's not playing that you realize how he's literally the only other option out there are times.

 

[kb02]

Certainly. They just need inefficient Russ to show up.

 

[Kingster]

Mitchell is more dangerous than Haliburton but he can't finish over bigs so if he isn't beating them or getting a little jumper then he's going to have to swing the ball back out too.

Too much dribbling by him and the entire team. The first thing they do when they get the ball is dribble, which is a bad habit for virtually every player on this team.

 

[kingsboi]

Mitchell hobbling off the court. Kings players falling one by one like Dominoes

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

What an awful foul by Hield. My God

 

[SacTownKid]

Too much dribbling by him and the entire team. The first thing they do when they get the ball is dribble, which is a bad habit for virtually every player on this team.

In fairness though, the Lakers and other teams will eventually switch to playing passing lanes and cut off those swing passes. That's where you have to be able to square up and attack the defense. With no Harrison Fox and Buddy are about the only options available. If they hit them, you win, if not, oh well you had a chance.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings haven't hit a basket in six minutes.

 

[kb02]

What happened to that 55% shooting team in the 1h?

 

[Woot!]

Again, I remind you: Kings were up 14 in this quarter. 23-pt swing to the bad.

 

[Tetsujin]

That swing through isn't a foul anymore!

 

[kb02]

Kings haven't hit a basket in six minutes.

They weren’t shooting it well in the 1h. Easy transition points put a band aide on their inability to score efficiently. Now that those transition points are gone…

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

What happened to that 55% shooting team in the 1h?

That was an outlier

 

[kingsboi]

I thought the rip through wasn't going to be called this season?

 

[LoungeLizard]

What crap show of a quarter

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings didn't make a single shot in the last eight minutes of that quarter.

 

[steelevt]

37 to f’n 15

 

[luckytkp]

This team just doesn’t know how to stop a run.
