[Game] Kings vs Mavericks 2/11/2023 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[Woot!]

I think he got his 4th point in the second quarter when Luka was sitting. He had the 3 that gave them the lead to close as well. Obviously they are better if they can play together and someone, anyone covers defense. But it's way too early to proclaim anything and if Luka freezes him out I don't see him continuing with the Mavs.

Pretty much. Obviously, one of the two will be on the floor at all times, but, equally obviously, they'll also need to figure out how to share the floor for half the game over time. There's a reason Kyrie has played for 4 teams, skilled as he is.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Fox needs to learn when to make those risky passes or not. Down 2 with momentum 100% against you in a big game is not the time to try that.

 

[Letsgokings13]

Barnes is playing hella soft.

 

[Tetsujin]

T him up, refs. Jeezus. Boogie'd have been ejected by now

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

This game is going to be a battle to the end. Real playoff atmosphere. Bring it!

 

[KF8]

want to buy a 3

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Seriously, are we just horrible from 3 now?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

If we can't hit a three it's going to be tough to win this game.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Kings should not be jacking up threes. Play some bully ball.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Sorry but Fox and Barnes are going to have to hit threes for us to win.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Fox’s 3 point shot is rough lately.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Dwight Powell go-to defensive stance: Palms to the sky wondering why that obvious foul was called on him.

 

[Kingz19]

Why isn’t Dallas tired of making threes, Kayte?

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Doubling Luka in the midrange is such a bad strategy when they’re this hot from 3.

 

[Kingz19]

Here come the second chance points

 

[SacTownKid]

Green is a nice player. Great size and game for a 2/3.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

THERE WE GO. LET'S GET HEURTER GOING

 

[SacTownKid]

Here come the second chance points

The Kings help scheme is all based around getting as far out of position in every way possible you can hahaha.

 

[Letsgokings13]

Fox’s 3 point shot is rough lately.

His feet haven't looked set at all.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Even prime Jordan played within an offensive system more than this though. Every single Mavs possession is just them giving Luka the ball and letting him freelance for 20 seconds.

Jordan from '85-89. First few seasons, like Doncic

 

[Woot!]

Huerter, Barnes, Murray - 40% collectively on the season from 3, but 25% tonight.

 

[Kingz19]

The Kings help scheme is all based around getting as far out of position in every way possible you can hahaha.

and leaving shooters as wide open as possible

For help defense it isn’t very helpful

 

[The_Jamal]

Gonna be shooting once again if we lose this game. I don't even need good, but 4-19 for 21% and oly down 4?

I dunno. Have to hope this slump ends at some point.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

I'm sorry but if Harrison Barnes is missing open threes consistently we're going to have a hard time winning these tight games. We need consistency in our weapons.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Huerter, Barnes, Murray - 40% collectively on the season from 3, but 25% tonight.

I feel like they have other options than settling for threes. If one of them wants to get hot fine, but maybe look for easier buckets.

(then again it all went south exactly when Barnes missed that gimme layup which would have kept them up double digits)

 

[SacTownKid]

Huerter, Barnes, Murray - 40% collectively on the season from 3, but 25% tonight.

The Kings should have run the DHO again. The Mavs went over the screen and Huerter got the easy look. Didn't go back to it though.

 

[Kingz19]

Ugh, Davion

 

[Woot!]

His feet haven't looked set at all.

After that great start, down to 32% from 3 on the season.

 

[Remi]

such a stupid turnover....

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Sad thing is I don't even remember Josh Green at Zona.
