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

[NewArena]

Even last year. That game to clinch the Playoffs at home vs Minnesota.

Lost the early Sunday spurs game after that too

 

[Rob-The-Great]

A few fans embarrassing the rest of us right now

Please they paid good money for this crap. Win a dam game that counts!

 

[captain bill]

How unexpected a demoralizing loss at home to NOLA. Glad I tuned in for that.

 

[SacTownKid]

Not a great look on national TV

The schedule was exactly what we thought it was. BRUTAL. Now, Fox with a limp on a back to back that might be the difference between having to win 2 to get in or not.

I wonder how Anthony Davis does against him

 

[NewArena]

CJ makes shots against us that i hadn’t seen him hit most of the season. Many pelican fans don’t even want him there

If you think that excuses that kind of behavior I really don't know what to say to you.

 

[CaliPelsFan2k23]

good game fellas..Leave the chicken wings in the stands though lol

 

[KF8]

so fellas, have anyone been paying attention to the 2024 draft? Who will the kings be drafting at 14?

 

[joemama]

One of these years we should stop allowing wide open threes.

I don’t know if he was talking specifically about the Kings franchise but that’s pretty bad either way

He is leading the NBA in 3 %

 

[NewArena]

7 or 8, we just can’t afford to play the Pelicans ever again this year

That’s fake news

 

[ick300]

2 wins are going to secure us 8th place , right ?

If Monte trades our only assets for “cash considerations” I’ll be at the front of the line to get him fired.

IMO, it’s Monte’s fault that this team stagnated this year. He was one of the few teams with some cap space and momentum this summer and instead of trying to improve the team, he “ran it back” even though even casual fans could tell he needed to move on from Huerter and HB. Now we are going to be capped out and Huerter and HB is an even more unfavorable trade asset in trades this summer.

That's the thing though, I still don't think Monte ran it back due to overconfidence, he did it to hang onto trade pieces. The issue is Brown started phasing out both Huerter and Barnes and teams started wondering why they weren't the same as last year. This is why re-signing Monk to a big contract just to use him as a trade piece isn't wise. Not until Monte clears up some clutter.

It’s not really an issue of “allowing” wide open threes. It’s that we’re so concerned with applying pressure at the point of attack for some reason that it leaves us vulnerable to any and all secondary actions

Is it time to push all the chips in for Mikal Bridges?

 

[Rob-The-Great]

How do you expect to lose and still be mad when it happens? Are we gonna lose out?

 

[chief bromden]

He is leading the NBA in 3 %

He's 15th in pct.

 

[Kingster]

The Pels know they have the Kings' number and the Kings' know it too. Too long, too athletic, even without Ingram. There would have to be some major changes to the Kings' roster to have a chance against this team in the future.

 

[KF8]

2 wins are going to secure us 8th place , right ?

either 2 win or 1 win with lakers and warriors losing 1. I'm banking on lakers/warriors losing 1 more. Absolutely no confidence in the kings winning 2.

The end result is a wide open 3 so it really doesn't matter how you slice it.

New year same defense.

More bad info from TNT, I guess

 

[SacTownKid]

Not if it includes Keegan obviously. Anything pick wise, or whatever, Monte has to be aggressive. Huerter and Barnes aren't highlighting a trade package by themselves.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I like Brown and I like Monte they better be magicians in their offseason strategy as well as be 100% on the same page.

 

[megapoxy]

Yes and if Suns will lose their last match at MIN we will be 7th

You think he phased them out? Or did they just play bad? Honest question.

I think brown pushed this defense narrative so hard it messed up our offense flow and killed huerters confidence. Barnes was already a lost cause.

I remember people saying him and grant where the same level. They are most certainly not

 

[KF8]

Keegan is mikal bridges.. their games are very similar.

And no Ingram! Goodness almost forgot
