[Game] Kings vs Hawks 1/4/2023 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Collins shoots 23% from 3. We don’t need to contest it and leave open Hunter or not be in a position to rebound

On the season: thirty-six percent for his career. He was due.

 

[Kingz19]

Come on

 

[The_Jamal]

This has been by far the Kings worst defensive game in terms of 3pt defense. They've largely been excellent this year contesting 3's closely

 

[LoungeLizard]

Feels like one of those games….

 

[iowamcnabb]

Just no rhythm. We can win this

 

[Tizzy Flip]

On the season: thirty-six percent for his career. He was due.

So what? He’s not shooting well this year. We shouldn’t bite hard when he’s about to shoot and leave open a better shooter open

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Wide open threes all day

Blame @fansinceday1: he accused the Kings of living behind the three-point line while the Hawks just got layups and, since he made that post, the Hawks have outshot the Kings from three 16 attempts to 10, and at a 50 percent clip.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Somehow we’re getting screwed out of this 3

 

[Kingz19]

Shouldn’t that be a take foul then? That’s just as bad as robbing a transition opportunity

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

So what? He’s not shooting well this year.

It means that his numbers this season are a statistical aberration, and not reflective of his actual skill set, that's so what.

 

[LoungeLizard]

They have to change that rule…just terrible

 

[iowamcnabb]

Alright just go get this!

 

[Kingz19]

So they only like to call fouls when they take away baskets

 

[Hoovtrain]

This is absurd

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Sure, that's not shooting. Whatever, NBA.

 

[Sluggah]

The gods have frowned upon us apparently

 

[SCKingsfan]

Keegan might be our best defender today

 

[joemama]

Ref mode activated I see

 

[Capt. Factorial]

The gods have frowned upon us apparently

The gods wearing gray shirts and black pants.

 

[The_Jamal]

Holy crap that "take foul" is incredibly stupid. You only reward the Hawks for getting cooked on a back-door cut. How does that make sense??

 

[iowamcnabb]

Alright you can feel a bit of momentum swingingZ. Just a couple stops

 

[joemama]

No KZ?
Any more mins for TD?

 

[The_Jamal]

So they only like to call fouls when they take away baskets

Sabonis gets punched in the face

"Nah, incidental contact"

Monk cooks Bogi on the back-door for a free dunk

"Woah buddy thats a foul!!! Side out"

 

[Kingz19]

Alright you can feel a bit of momentum swingingZ. Just a couple stops

nope, in the penalty now. We know how that goes. Hawks will have added 10 more points from the line before the quarter is through.

 

[Woot!]

Huerter has made 18 of his last 19 freebies.

Now shooting 73% from the line after his bad start.

 

[RaY Z]

We can't defend the paint for crap. I know we know this already but can't see any improvements from game to game.

 

[SacTownKid]

No KZ?
Any more mins for TD?

I'm ready for some KZ on Trae here. See if that works.

 

[Sac.Kings]

That’s 2 dumb calls in this quarter alone that cost us literal points. I feel like we always struggle against the Hawks for some reason. We gotta find some rhythm here or this is a loss.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Alright you can feel a bit of momentum swingingZ. Just a couple stops

You'd think that the guy who was awarded the DPOG chain just last night might be able to help with that?

Dude is a top 5 shooter in the NBA, it never really made sense why he was so poor from the FT line. He should be like 85%+
