[Game] Kings vs. Pelicans - 4/11/2024 - 7:00PM PDT/10:00PM EDT (TNT)

Sabonis needs to pick his battles. He complains about obvious calls

 

[HndsmCelt]

Barnes is just too light to guard Williamson.

We pretty much have to put Alex in to match that size

 

[Sluggah]

Absurd shooting by CJ

 

[HndsmCelt]

Keegan Murray waking up

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

We pretty much have to put Alex in to match that size

Sabonis on him is the better matchup in the starters. Make them go through their center

 

[Kingz19]

Is New Orleans challenging that?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Sabonis looked to get away with a travel there. Gotta acknowledge some calls and non calls that go your way

 

[captain bill]

We've been mostly holding our own in the paint since that first quarter, which is a welcome surprise

 

[iowamcnabb]

Reggie can’t tell the difference between Murphy and Herb

So is the one that should take the blame for in the building? No idea who that is, it was even a different building back then!

Technically it was (Kingsfans.com super-villain) Pete D'Alessandro who had the GM job at the time but he'd only hired in 10 days before the draft so at best I think he only deserves partial blame. Chris Mullin (head of scouting I believe) and owner Vivek Ranadive probably had as much to do with that decision as he did.

In any case, CJ McCollum has obviously done quite well for himself and Ben McLemore is out of the league so obviously that was another huge miss for our revolving door of front office personnel. I do wish CJ would stop torching us over it though. It's been 10 years my guy!

Maybe but then you're basically giving big V the red carpet set plow over barns so I'm not sure I guess it's a picture poison thing

Ben could also be locked up for a while

 

[HndsmCelt]

Old man Barnes still has some tricks up his sleeve

All the drafts you mentioned are out of the NBA, nice lottery picks!

 

[hrdboild]

CJ was Petrie’s last draft. Ben was his parting gift. Of course the tale goes that Geoff actually wanted Giannis but was vetoed. I don’t believe that though.

The year before he was dead set on Dame but Thomas Robinson unexpectedly fell into the Kings lap.

Vlade’s first draft pick was Willie Cauley Stein

You're close. Geoff Petrie's last first round pick was that Thomas Robinson over Damian Lillard pick in 2012. He could only suggest to Vivek and co that they take Giannis in 2013 as he no longer had the job.

Why'd you have to remind us of Pete's existence his name alone is giving me a migraine

 

[kingdivac]

Put in Len

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Guess the Colby Jones experiment is over, for now

 

[coolhandluke]

May have to get Len in to match Zion.

 

[coolhandluke]

Kings are in the bonus. Keep attacking the paint.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Two straight three-point attempts since getting New Orleans into the penalty.

I hate them.

Thank you, Barnes.

Yeah, Mitchell on him isn't going to work

 

[kingsboi]

whenever Duarte shoots you might as well start running back on defense

 

[chief bromden]

What's the point of Duarte being on the floor?

 

[Tizzy Flip]

I cringe every time Duarte shoots a 3

 

[Elektrik]

Duarte shooting us outta the game again

 

[kingsboi]

its the small things like giving Davion a pass for a layup that 9 out of 10 times gets blocked

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Brown seems to insert these guys based on nothing other than a wild hair

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Why is Duarte in smh
