[Game] Kings vs. Hornets, 12/19/2022 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

Every play against the Hornets should be attacking Plumlee.

They've been destroying him and Richards all game. Every jump shot is a mistake

 

[SacTownKid]

I was telling my brother davion should have been in minutes ago

Davion better get that ball from Melo if he's on him again. The Hornets will go for the mismatch this time.

 

[captain bill]

That possession was terrible and might cost us the game

 

[Tetsujin]

Refs trying to find a way to not foul LaMelo out of the game

 

[SacTownKid]

Well, probably have to miss the 2nd now.

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Sabonis has barely touched the ball on offense these last few mins. That can’t happen.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

How can they need to look this long at an obvious call

 

[NewArena]

i hate basketball again. Wtf

 

[SacTownKid]

The beam will never be lit again.

If they don't switch on defense then that offense better be top notch every game because defense will not be played for that night.

when you are a winning team, every team will bring their best and Kings need to be ready for this. This L will ideally motivate them for the remainder of the home stand

 

[Sluggah]

Bah. Unfortunate evening.

 

[White_Chocolate]

Free throws.

 

[Kingz19]

Disappointing

I think so too. We'll be fine but i HATE losses like this

 

[MizzouKing]

Un effing believable.

 

[TaxMan]

That sucks. Still a long home stand so hope they pull their heads out of their ass.

 

[iowamcnabb]

I think I would have rather Fox take it to the basket instead of the three since we was cooking inside

 

[NewArena]

Losing a game on freethrows is just awful. Dallas just lost to Minnesota so i guess it's just a weird night

Not to mention the Hornets had lost 8 in a row and were extremely motivated to win this one.

good teams lose almost nightly in the NBA so this is just another phase the Kings have to get past

 

[est.1999]

They should apologize to all the fans that spent money during the holidays to watch this crap

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Free throws.

They continue to put themselves behind it from the line. No excuses for good shooters to continue to shoot a poor percentage on freebies. Missed 16 f'n free throws

 

[captain bill]

Idk why we went away from Domas in the 4th. Foul trouble? He was dominating entire game and nothing got ran for him.

First “gimme” loss of the season. The palpable pessimism in this thread is weird

 

[Tetsujin]

That’s not weird at all. Dallas is sorta bad.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Missed free throws and second chance points being more normal and we win by 15

 

[SLAB]

I just don’t trust this franchise enough to believe. Even when I pretend I’m starting too.., I don’t.

PJ transferred his Kings killer mojo over to Kelly for the night

 

[KF8]

wasted performance by sabonis 28 points 23 rebs 7 assists

Nick Richards also got a piece of it

 

[est.1999]

I just don’t trust this franchise enough to believe. Even when I pretend I’m starting too.., I don’t.

I fully expect us to now finish the season 38-44 lmao
