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

kings allow way too many open corner threes

 

[The_Jamal]

Something we really need to clean up moving forward. We'll play great for 10 minutes of a quarter and then just give up a run the last minute or 2 that wipes it away.

Sheesh. Gave up 10 points in the last two minutes but did actually hold the Pelicans under 30 for the quarter, but just barely. Still 27 points is an improvement.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Out of control bad pass turnover
Out of control bad pass turnover
Benched

Don’t forget fouled unnecessarily on a easy layup
Caused a turnover by passing with basically no time left on the shot clock

 

[SLAB]

Wtf, I looked away for a minute how did we squander the lead?

 

[Fantazija]

I wonder how many times do Kings need to get burned before they abandon an idea of leaving a wide open corner three just to have extra defender leaning towards the middle

 

[206Fan]

Why do we insist on leaving 3pt shooters wide open? Pelicans are 9-16 so far

Simple story is the Kings won the second quarter and lost the first by more points. Now we start from scratch.

 

[KF8]

over or under will Pelicans continue to shoot over 50% from 3?

Malik Monk is a non factor...what is wrong with him, why can't he be consistent from game to game. Those two turnovers are really dumb. Also, he doesn't play team defense well.

 

[iowamcnabb]

It’s a game of runs and that is playing out right now.

 

[kingdivac]

Barnes needs to play better for them to win tonight without Fox - that's a poor half for him.

It's like the book on the Kings is just tell a shooter to go into the short corner and stay put: if we get deep enough into the shot clock without turning it over, they'll forget you're over there.

 

[SLAB]

Probably over as we continue to ignore the 3Pt line.

At some point Mike Brown needs to abandon our wing defenders sinking down and helping. It’s almost ridiculous at this point. We trade wide open 3s for slightly contested 2s… what NBA team wouldn’t kick it out?

Please save the A’s, Vivek.

 

[Kingster]

Three missed layups in the first half could come back to haunt the Kings.

Yep, Timberwolve part deux

Let's keep it a buck, you really think he'd be on his third team in three years if he could stay consistent?

He had a couple of turnovers that were doozies.

 

[kingdivac]

Another 3pt shot canned against.......Wake up

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

I love this style of officiating.

Mike talked to Keegan and told him he was reverting back to his old ways late in the 2nd. Told him to start looking for his own again. It's apparent.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

All I want to know is, where was this play by Huerter when I still had a chance to qualify for the playoffs in my public league?

 

[Tetsujin]

Sabonis threeeeeeeee

 

[Kingz19]

Huerter avenges the poster earlier in the game with that block

 

[Tetsujin]

Keegan drive off the Domas screen!

 

[kingdivac]

This may be a bit like the Thunder game, where the bench didn't play well, and the Starters may have to execute better to win. As opposed to the Twolves the Kings have been ahead for a good chunk of the game.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Saw that T coming a mile away.
