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

[Tetsujin]

Refs feel so bad for Hayward having his ankle shatter on national TV that they constantly ref him like he’s made of glass

 

[Woot!]

16 boards for Domas. In the first half.

 

[The_Jamal]

Is Sabonis the greatest player of all time?

 

[Tetsujin]

Davion getting cooked by Maledon

 

[dude12]

Need to figure it out in the third

 

[The_Jamal]

Blowing that lead with Melo on the bench is inexcusable.

At least it's not 18 like it was when we were in CHA, but damn, someone's got to come help Sabonis

 

[SLAB]

I swear every time I pay attention the team gets annoying.

 

[206Fan]

Davion needs to take his 3s. not sure why he is so scared of the shot.. it's become non-existent. no wonder coach brown doesn't want to play both him and Fox at the same time.

 

[iowamcnabb]

We have looked terrible and awesome in both quarters so far.

 

[Turgenev]

Hornets' commentator: "The Hornets are going to strut into that locker room... with the swagger of a nascar veteran!"

(maybe this is some US thing that I don't get?)

 

[KF8]

really concerning.. they are up by 3 and their best player only played 8 minutes.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Can Sabonis put up a 30-30?

 

[Woot!]

SLADEK, y'all!

 

[Remi]

Amazing Sabonis game in first half and team needs to find a way to stop Hornets on easy transitions - win will come...

 

[SLAB]

OLD CHAIR MAN RETURNS LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Sabonis with a great first half. He should have a triple double but we had way too many misses on open shots. Need Monk and Mitchell to step up in the 2nd half

 

[iowamcnabb]

10-2 to end the half

 

[The_Jamal]

Davion needs to take his 3s. not sure why he is so scared of the shot.. it's become non-existent. no wonder coach brown doesn't want to play both him and Fox at the same time.

Such a double-edged sword with him. Goes through stretches on offense where he's just flat out unplayable, but we've also seen him win us game with his defense.

The real annoying aspect is he goes through stretches on offense where he looks great. Just a real polarizing and confusing player to get a handle on.

 

[Kingz19]

Too many easy baskets.

NASCAR is a race car league most popular in the southern United States where the Hornets play

 

[SacTownKid]

This is a tough matchup for the Kings. The Hornets are more athletic or bigger at almost every position. The Kings can't rely on run outs for sure. They come out and stop the shot, they get blown by anyway. On the other end Davion was in place of Murray as the spacer in some of those lineupes and he can't even get a spot shot off against them with time. 2nd half they have to what they always have to, attack the dribble. Playing honest defense isn't going to happen.

 

[Woot!]

Harrison uncharacteristically missing most of his free throws

What's a lil hyperbole between fans?

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Davion needs to take his 3s. not sure why he is so scared of the shot.. it's become non-existent. no wonder coach brown doesn't want to play both him and Fox at the same time.

And when he has a small opening near the rim, it feels like instead of going up aggressively he keeps dribbling and let’s the defense settle

 

[MizzouKing]

And while we’re complaining, knowing Huerter’s potential makes his recent performances very difficult to watch. Still, I’ll take a slumping Kevin over a slumping Buddy any day.

Oh this is a game for sure where they need to be playing KZ. Unless Monk gets out of that funk those guard lineups killed this team.

 

[SLAB]

Imagine a world where Baby Sladek didn’t decide to climb the furniture.

Monk hasn’t been an issue as much as TD has.

Can someone at the game ask Arvydas if he has another Domantas secretly hidden somewhere? We can definitely use him when the real Domas goes to the bench.

He has another 2 sons, but they are not so good as Domas 1 has played in Spain, with not at highest lvl, another - is a coach.

Screw that, how do those knees feel Sabas? He's probably good for a few 10 days still.
