[Game] Kings vs. Pistons, 11/20/2022 3pm Pacific 6pm Eastern

[est.1999]

Of course Ivey showed us up

 

[NewArena]

These guys are shooting way above their heads. Our defense needs to run these guys off the line and stop double teaming/trapping random players that don’t need to be.

 

[NiNetNiNe]

Ivey shooting less than 30% from 3, looks like Steph with his step back today.

 

[SacTownKid]

OK, time to throw that pnr coverage in the trash where it belongs. They started to hard double late there but potentially playing small and switch could be the answer. They are just going to keep running that Bojan pnr to throw the whole Kings scheme out of whack.

 

[kingdivac]

PIstons will let the Kings into the game

 

[Tetsujin]

Jaden Ivey of course hitting all his threes despite starting the season looking like drunk Buddy Hield from the perimeter.

 

[KF8]

tbh kings are fortunate to only be down 4. Pistons couldn't play any better offensively. I'd be surprised if they could keep it up.

 

[Sluggah]

Enjoy that halftime ***-chewing

 

[Tetsujin]

Lol why are the refs even reviewing that goaltend to end the half? Dude had his fingers in the actual net.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

According to Ham there is a goaltend call under review that would make it a 2pt game.

 

[NewArena]

Of course Ivey showed us up

He literally shoots 29 percent from 3 lmao he’s literally just getting lucky and we’re making it easier for em.

 

[Kingster]

70 points in a half by Detroit??? Kings, especially Fox, need to get their heads out of their a$$es and start playing defense. This is fake D meant to (hopefully) appease the coach but not serious in the least. Coach Brown is going to let them have it in the locker room.

 

[Ozymandias]

Fox is playing so well

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Wow, we are the beneficiaries of a technicality!

You have to believe our coaches will make adjustments in the second half. I’d be ready to chalk this up as a loss if we still had Walton here smh.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Scoring at halftime is always a good way to start the half.

 

[Woot!]

tbh kings are fortunate to only be down 4. Pistons couldn't play any better offensively. I'd be surprised if they could keep it up.

9-14 from 3 while the Kings are 5-17 on equally good shots?

Gotta think things will even out there.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Lol why are the refs even reviewing that goaltend to end the half? Dude had his fingers in the actual net.

I guess because they were going to drag them out to play a partial second of basketball?

 

[SacTownKid]

He's been up and down. He started off the season well. When you're that young you just want to see the potential and this kid has it. Like for real.

[The_Jamal]

Refs absolutely helped Det, but this has been one of the more pathetic defensive efforts all year. Doesn't help the Pistons are shooting the lights out too

 

[dude12]

Play better D
Paint touches for us on O
Take the win and go home

 

[Kingster]

Yeah, the adjustment is to throw a few chairs and go nuts over the lousy defense.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Honestly all that has to happen is Detroit has to shoot a normal clip. But I do believe the Kings can play better defense, I am not sure Detroit can.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Just when you think things can't get worse Kenny Thomas comes on with brilliant analysis talking food coma....

There was a lot of help D going on. I'd rather test out Duren/Bagley killing the Kings inside than open shooters. If it's a fire needing lit, this is where you spot some minutes for KZ. Send a message. Metu and Lyles ain't stopping anyone on a switch. Certainly not someone as big as Bojan is. Might want to adjust the rotation based on matchups.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Wow, we are the beneficiaries of a technicality!

Well, technically correct is the best kind of correct, so...

 

[NewArena]

I hope we blow them off of the floor in the second half and stay out of foul trouble. Go Kings!!!! Gimme another win baby

 

[NewArena]

Just when you think things can't get worse Kenny Thomas comes on with brilliant analysis talking food coma....

Kenny Thomas is literally going to outlive us all and be associated with organization for life, it seems.

I pray so!
