[Game] Kings vs. Nuggets, 2/24/2022 7pm Pacific, 10pm Eastern

I think it’s time to throw this trash defensive scheme away and fire whoever thought of it

 

[SacTownKid]

Hopefully they get him on the movement there.

 

[iowamcnabb]

The only difference between now and before the deadline is now I’m mad when we lose instead of just numb. smh

That's a pretty dramatic swing. From not caring to thinking you have a chance every night. I'd say thats a good thing and hopefully a sign the tide is changing.

Pre trade post trade. Any time the Kings double team they are dunzo.

30-15-10 isn't out of reach, either.

i don’t remember them doing this pre-trade nearly as much as post trade

Why Will Barton hate us

Im sure it’ll be back to numbness before too long.

Gentry lost us the game. But Barnes passing the ball to the Nuggets all night certainly hasn't helped things

 

[EIM86]

“Kang” of the Day- Will Barton

 

[iowamcnabb]

You could make the case this is exactly what most of the board wanted. Good effort with some development in chemistry etc and another Lin for the lottery chase.

 

[miltonap]

Fox has played like crap all night. Basically doing nothing

 

[Kingz19]

Kings got the number 1 pick on my 10th refresh on tankathon

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Im eating pizza tonight.

I think I know someone else who is, too.

I, too, ate pizza tonight. Were you thinking about me, @Chupacabra ???

Fox needs to be as aggressive as Barton has been in this game. He's been weirdly passive in the second half. At the very least he should be leading the team in FTA every night. I feel bad for Sabonis out there. I'm not sure anyone else on the Kings wants to win this game.

My instant analysis. Denver has one more turnover than Kings - 16 to 15. Mitchell bless his heart in too small to ever start in NBA. Joker is sooo big, sooo talented. Otherwise, the tank is leaking oil but that's ok.

He has 2 turnovers; Fox has 4, but...okay.

This feels like hyperbole. There have been plenty of 6' NBA starters. Some of them are even in the Hall of Fame.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Barton had 2 points in his most recent game

 

[Kingz19]

Reminds me of a Cousins era Kings game where Cousins had a great game but Rudy Gay and everybody else had an off night

 

[Tetsujin]

Nuggets just hitting everything now too

Nah. Terrible three point shooting and really bad play from your point guards (not counting a few fantastic defensive sequences from Davion) lost this game.

The more things change, the more things stay the same.

They probably contested his shots

Sorry guys, John Stockton and Isiah Thomas and Kyle Lowry and Chris Paul and Isaiah Thomas were too short to start. Thems the rules.

 

[EIM86]

Monte can literally be the Kings GM for a long time if he picks the right coach next season

 

[Folsomkingsfan]

Sabonis got NO help today. He was our only source of offense and had to play facilitator too bc our points guards just aren't good at that. Enjoyable game otherwise and good for the tank.

 

[The_Jamal]

Shame, this game was there for the taking. Bad Gentry rotations once again gave Nuggets a ton of momentum at the start of the 4th and they never gave it back.

Think Im ready to abandon the Harkless/Holiday starting pairing. Or at least Harkless. Get Lamb or DDV in there.

 

[SacTownKid]

Dang. Well things are starting to form. The Kings need a coach that is going to ride what works and/or actually understands the high post game, and the Kings need some scoring punch somewhere next to Fox/Sabonis/Barnes.
