[Game] Kings vs. Pelicans, 3/6/2023 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[NewArena]

Monk, Keegan, Huerter and TD. We need at least two of them to go a little crazy and for Sabonis to stay outta foul trouble. I have faith, let’s light the BEAM!

Please guard the 3 point line, stop jumping in the air at shooters after they release the freaking ball, falling for pump fakes and just win this game.

100%

The game would be won or lost on how the Kings defend the three-point line. In the last game, there were too many plays where we didn't even attempt to defend the corner threes.

Hmmm. Don't love this take, especially vs a very wing heavy NOP squad with plenty of dudes for Kessler to go defend.

 

[Caccia]

Starting lineup as expected.

 

[iowamcnabb]

We are 2 games into arguably the toughest 6 game stretch of the season. 1-1 so far. I was hoping for 2-4 and then go on a bit of a run to end the season.

Don't feel good about the Kings winning this one without Fox, but perhaps this could be a trap game for the Pelicans? lol

 

[iowamcnabb]

I’ll admit I thought the Murray jersey was a mascot

 

[pdxKingsFan]

guy was bodysurfing on Domas and no call?

 

[HndsmCelt]

Much better defense tonight

 

[Sluggah]

Both teams coming out flame throwing

 

[SacTownKid]

Great effort so far.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Way better defense tonight, they’re just hitting shots. Huerter has been super active on defense, his length is a great asset on that end.

 

[Sluggah]

I mean. Wow. Defense.

 

[Kingz19]

Looks like the Kings are going to get scorched from three yet again

The demoralizing part is some of these 3's have been somewhat contested too

 

[iowamcnabb]

We run into ANOTHER buzzsaw? FFS

Keep playing this way and it's a win. The Kings are trying very hard and the talent should be even.

 

[funkykingston]

Pels are really active in the passing lanes.

 

[thingfish]

Are we that bad at defending the 3? Last game was bad, but when teams are draining contested shots against us…is it just some sort of confidence thing? I don’t know

 

[HndsmCelt]

Kings offenses always so much better when they get in motion!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Who's the creator in this lineup? Monk?

 

[Kingz19]

Well, Monk is playing like trash

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Who's the creator in this lineup? Monk?

Apparently not

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

And Malik killed our first quarter single handedly.

 

[SacTownKid]

Monk, not playing well.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Why do I think we're about to see Kessler Edwards?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Malik “poor mans jwill” monk tonight

 

[SLAB]

Kings hold team under 30 points in a quarter challenge, IMPOSSIBLE

 

[KF8]

This might get ugly fast with Sabonis on the bench
