[Game] Kings vs Clippers, 3/3/2023 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[Vinny Basketballerino]

We could easily face the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs. These games are huge for setting the tone. "We got your number" message has been sent.

Sorry, Keegs was 4-9 from 3 tonight?

I guess I failed to notice that. He's gonna own that record with like 10 games to play, isn't he?

 

[NewArena]

Westbrooks karma after all that jawing is my favorite part.

 

[Woot!]

Sabonis for All-NBA isn't even a hot take, considering that All-NBA still goes by position. Can anybody name three centers in the league this year that are better?

Significant drop-off after the first two. Our guy def has a very good argument to be #3.

 

[206Fan]

Does anyone know why they turned the post-game set around? is this a permanent change?

 

[Caccia]

Westbrook handed them the ball with 15 seconds on the clock. Literally hand a wide open pass go right through his hands, out of bounds.

I thought the pass from Gordon was too high and hard, but we only saw one angle on the telecast.

It's been that way for a few weeks I think. Must be how they're going to do it from now on.

The only thing y'all have to be worried about is him getting jobbed for AD, if the gd lakers somehow make it into the playoffs.

Wasted sexy dancing guy probably has something to do with it

Trey Lyles another huge game. 10-8 on 5 shots off the bench. Monk shooting 1-8, but chips in some incredible playmaking, including that dime to Domas with under 45 seconds in the game. TD being a nothing was noticeable, he's got to find his floor play again. He hasn't been great after the all-star break, starting to fall in that old TD pattern where he's unplayable. Davion stats weren't great, but I thought he strung together his 2nd consecutive quality game where he made an impact on the floor.

Honestly crazy how dialed Fox and Domas are:

23-10-7 on 13 shots for Domas
33-7-7 on 22 shots for Fox

It's like we almost expect those a nightly basis now. Not even a surprise.

I know we aren’t perfect and started relying on 3’s, but Fox was getting clobbered every time they trapped him. Shout out to coach Brown putting in Monk for Keegan, cuz monk began to attack and open things up for us.

 

[PacMan]

Well that's the awful double-edged sword isn't it? They criticize the Kings for not making moves before the trade deadline now they'll make excuses for the clippers because they're working in new players.

I think that’s what people forget. When you make a big trade for a starter, it takes time to in incorporate the player in. Monte is betting on that we have the cohesion already on a new team and didn’t want to rock the boat

“Russ makes big clutch time play in controversial Clippers loss”

“Paul George comes up big in loss (barely) to Western conference team”

 

[Caccia]

If I am not mistaken, Recee Caldwell Fox was on or behind the bench at the end of the game, and was giving De'Aaron some encouragement in the final seconds. Rather surprising to see, but she did play in college and the WNBA.

Giving an All-NBA spot to a guy who only played half the season on a team that might make the play-in if they over-perform for the last month of the season would be on brand for the NBA too, unfortunately.

Paul George shoots the game winner at the buzzer in Sacramento! unfortunately it didn't go in

I thought the pass from Gordon was too high and hard, but we only saw one angle on the telecast.

Looked like a ball that a decent athlete should catch.

 

[Woot!]

Kings are 37-21 after that 0-4 start.

.638.

52 wins projected over a full season.

Domas is a tier below Jokic and Embiid, but I think the 4th C this season (whoever that is. Bam? AD?) is a pretty clear tier or 2 below what Domas has done this season. Shouldn't even be a contest he's 3rd team All-NBA

Yeah now that games are packed there’s a higher risk of wild cards in the background.

We have to win 5 out of 20 to finish 42-40. I don't think Joerger and Walton combined could show up and screw that up.

Well you know Bam and whoever is a better duo than anyone they got in Sac. -Colin Coward

The "Throw-in" in the Bagley trade ends up being significantly better than Bagley.

Dude has figured it out in a Kings uni. He was great in a "starter in a pinch" role for us at the end of last year and he's been so good off the bench this year. Just wish Brown was willing to use him at some small-ball 5, I think his pick and pop game could be so deadly with Fox. Would be fun to see some Lyles-Keegan at the 5-4 and rotating them getting action as the screener.

He gets my vote for the Sacramento Grit award.

I think Bam might be the biggest competitor. His defense might give him the edge over Domas especially if he finishes top 3-5 in DPOY voting.

Trey Lyles is who Keegan Murray thinks he is.

 

[Padrino]

Kings' starters vs. bench +/- is kind of wild for this game:

Sabonis -6
Barnes -5
Murray -3
Fox -13
Huerter -10

Lyles +10
Metu +9
Mitchell +12
Monk +13

Yet the starters combined for 108 of the Kings' 128 points. I guess the way to look at it is the bench was puttin' in work, defensively.

Yeah, but the universe will never pass up the opportunity to screw over this team. Rochester narrowly avoided becoming the first team to blow a 3-0 lead in the Finals in '51, and the basketball gods have been making the franchise pay for it ever since.

 

[Tetsujin]

I’m dying. Keegan joins the post game with K9 and Mo and he puts on the headset and says “You guys turned the set?”

Keegan and Kawhi are really the two most unintentionally hilarious players in the NBA
