[Game] Kings vs. Knicks, 07 MAR 2022, 7:30pm PT/10:30pm ET

Oh, I missed that. Bad Capt.

We don't notice the bench as much now that we aren't trying to decipher Marv's emotions.

 

[SacTownKid]

Julius Randle has made like 4 ridiculous step-back threes in this quarter alone.

His trade value going up. Good thing at the same time so did the Kings 1st, hmmmm....

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well the good news for Kings Fans is that your next game is against the hottest team in the conference.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Kangz on the verge of being outscored by over 40 in second half.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

What is the score in the second half?

Lottery teams should be given an extra ping pong ball for every two minute report that rules in their favour.

 

[ESP47]

What is the score in the second half?

83-25 right now

 

[The_Jamal]

Justin Holiday just the latest "solid vet" to immediately come to Sacramento and forget how to play. Good lord.

How many more 3-13's and 1-8 from 3 are we going to take? It's just crushing the starting unit offense.

 

[gunks]

As far as lins go, this was a big one. Knicks were fading hard and only a few games up on the Kings. They now hold the season series (does that matter in draft rankings?) and are going to be up 3 in the W column. Especially if we keep playing like this, seems unlikely we fall to 9 now.

And the Spurs beat Lakers, good night for the tank!

Bad night for this team's self respect and our HC's job security, but what else is new?

 

[iowamcnabb]

At least this collapse was caused by a good player going supernova and us just missing a ton of threes. I'd rather that than a bunch of weird turnovers and Kangzy play coupled with an end of the bencher destroying us

 

[The_Jamal]

83-25 right now

Not quite that bad. 83-47. You missed a quarter.

 

[sactowndog]

Well this was an unexpected Lin.

the next 6 might just wrap it up. The danger is teams resting their players.

Denver (6 west 9-1 last 10)
@Utah (4 west 7-3 last 10)
Chicago (4 east 5-5 last 10)
Milwaukee (3 east 6-4 last 10)
Boston (5 east 8-2 last 10)
Phoenix (1 west 7-3 last 10)

Chicago might be the easiest game.

 

[Tetsujin]

Gentry still playing Fox and Barnes down 20 at the end of the game for some reason.

 

[ESP47]

Not quite that bad. 83-47. You missed a quarter.

Wow yeah no idea where I got that math.

 

[luckytkp]

Beside lottery ball, the only good thing about this loss is we are not going to see Gentry next year.

Aging vet - isn't dude 32 year old.

Monte has been been brushing up on the King's lottery odds here on the forum.

Gotta build that chemistry for next year

What a devil 6-game stretch from the schedule makers. Legitimately 6 of the 10 best teams in the NBA, albeit at home I guess.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Man, when the guy on the other team has to pull your coach away from the refs after the game is over, your coach is hot.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I think Randle just saved Gentry a fine, for going after that Ref after the game

 

[Kingz19]

Alternating load management for Fox, Sabonis, and Barnes the rest of the season.

no more than 28 wins at seasons end please . Even less if they can manage.

but here comes the 8-7 stretch to close the season

 

[EIM86]

Justin Holiday from the arc since he got here

21/68 = 30.8%

Partly playing out of position though too. He's always been more SF/PF than SG/SF and he's being relied upon to be that other player up top. Can't handle, can't really pass, and they run him off way too many pin downs. This dude ain't Ray Allen.

 

[The_Jamal]

Beside lottery ball, the only good thing about this loss is we are not going to see Gentry next year.

Yeah, that was always the risk if we rifled off like a 19-4 stretch to end the year. You basically would have to stick with Gentry at that point and tie yourself to a mediocre (honestly, been pretty bad with the Kings this year. Didn't really take note in his previous spots) HC. Plenty of freedom for Monte to get his guy now.

 

[DynaPamm]

83-25 right now

Ummmmmmm 25???? I know we suck but not that bad lol

going into the third quarter we were up by 15 (63 to 48)

and then the melt down of the third quarter

 

[Turgenev]

In the last 3 games we have outscored opponents by 42 points in the first half but been outscored by 57 in the second half.

 

[The_Jamal]

Justin Holiday from the arc since he got here

21/68 = 30.8%

It's not even the 30%, but the fact that most of those makes are in like 4 games. The other 6 have been very similar to tonight's 1-8 performance.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

What a devil 6-game stretch from the schedule makers. Legitimately 6 of the 10 best teams in the NBA, albeit at home I guess.

That stretch was always very worrisome. A bit less so now, as we're toast. Once that stretch is over, we'll probably be about 6-7 games out of the #10 slot with 9 to go (7 of those 9 on the road, but easier teams overall).

It's time to pull the plug, there's no chance at this point.

 

[steelevt]

In the last 3 games we have outscored opponents by 42 points in the first half but been outscored by 57 in the second half.

So gentry coaches 1st half and Doug coaches 2nd half the rest of the way?
