[Game] Kings vs. Heat, 10/29/2022 3pm Pacific 6pm Eastern

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Correct. Butler caused the ball to go into the backcourt, the call was (yet again, shockingly) in error in the other team's favor.

I gotta respectfully disagree. My interpretation of the rule (and it looks like this officiating crew agrees with me) has always been that the player who touched the ball last "caused" the ball to go into the backcourt. Just because Butler's swipe knocked the ball into Monk's knee doesn't mean that Butler "caused" the ball to go into the backcourt; Monk's knee did that.

Can we all agree that tre is better than metu?

Definitely more skilled. Less athletic but this isn't a very athletic Kings team to begin with. IQ is the way for this squad.

That's wrong it's possession if it's tipped is not longer a possession thing

 

[NewArena]

At the game tonight, hoping we pull it out. All these new faces seem to be getting acclimated pretty well. I love how Mike Brown finds a way to get Fox playing to start the 2nd quarter. You don’t always see coaches do this

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That's wrong it's possession if it's tipped is not longer a possession thing

Knocking the ball off the opposing player's knee doesn't count as a "tip," though.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Come on with the missed open 3s

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Been impressed with monks playmaker last 3 games. He's been throwing some dimes

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Knocking the ball off the opposing player's knee doesn't count as a "tip," though.

But it's also a strange interpretation of the offensive player "causing" the ball to cross the line. The cause was Butler.

 

[NewArena]

These refs are disgusting

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Omg man. Look at Kate getting ready to agree with that bs foul again

 

[NewArena]

DADmontis Sabonis!!

 

[captain bill]

Surprised refs didn’t call Sabonis for fouling the rim

 

[ESP47]

Omg man. Look at Kate getting ready to agree with that bs foul again

She thinks any human contact is a justifiable foul call.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Stefanie Dolson already has that nickname, Kayte.

 

[DynaPamm]

Well since it’s Halloween the dam refs should be dressed up as firemen cause they’re hosing us

 

[NewArena]

I have never been more confident in a Kings player shooting the ball than Keegan. It’s absolutely insane how i expect him to make literally everything

 

[NewArena]

Sabonis actually looking for his shot is LIFE changing for us. Screw this quarterback dribble handoff and get out of the way crap

 

[NewArena]

Our new weapons making it easier for Fox to blow by people and get in the lane just brings tears to my eyes. We’re gonna be fine

 

[NewArena]

Barnes looks like he doesn’t wanna shoot at all

 

[NewArena]

Mike Brown has clearly made adjustments to make sure Sabonis ain’t finishing games with just 6 shot attempts. Love to see us feeding him like this

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I thought that Huerter was going to pull that from thirty feet for a second.

 

[captain bill]

Huerter has great chemistry with everyone on offense

Yeah, there's been a lot more drive and dish rather than trying to turn him into Shaq. Sabonis is soo much better off the catch and finish.

 

[captain bill]

eouldnt have complained if he did

 

[Woot!]

Kevin Huerter. My goodness.

I was a big fan of his acquisition - and didn't know he could be *this* good.

 

[dude12]

Need to keep feasting with Domas

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Kevin Huerter. My goodness.

I was a big fan of his acquisition - and didn't know he could be *this* good.

Currently leading the team with 4 dimes.

 

[Woot!]

Barnes looks like he doesn’t wanna shoot at all

Definitely not oozing w/confidence in his shot AND the guy is often too unselfish.

 

[dude12]

Huerter is good

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

She thinks any human contact is a justifiable foul call.

I mean, if you want to be a prescriptivist about the rules... it kinda is? It mostly depends on the official's prerogative.
