Kevin’s offball stuff often overshadows the fact he was an on-ball guy for a lot of his time in Atlanta

 

[The_Jamal]

Frontcourt depth has become an acute problem. We have to keep playing Len and Lyles regardless cause there's no one else.

It's awful. It's been the biggest problem all season and we're just getting destroyed in these minutes. Really really want to give Isaac Jones burn; it's that bad.

Nice response here after K'Von and Domas subbed back in. Hopefully Mike Brown and staff can fix whatever has broken with Malik Monk at halftime. It's looked like he's permanently stuck in 6th gear today. We're going to need better minutes from him in the second half.

Sabonis has 2 points, gotta get him going too

 

[iowamcnabb]

Need to finish this half off strong

 

[hrdboild]

There ya go big guy! Throw it down!

 

[iowamcnabb]

Our rebounding is atrocious. Sometimes the tap out isn’t the answer. Grab the ball

 

[Tetsujin]

Mark Jones in a mood today lmao

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Twelve points given up off five turnovers. I didn't even know that was possible.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Let's never get another 3-on-1 again

 

[Jones2006]

Maybe I need my eyes checked but Len played fine out there - defensively the off ball defenders just weren't sticking to their man or losing them on cuts. That's what did them in it looked like. Offensively, their looks seemed fine to me. Just misses or poor decision-making from guards ... Not sure how the poor play on either end is on Len/Lyles/frontcourt.

 

[Tetsujin]

K’Von!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Fox with the Lloyd Christmas special.

Let's never get another 3-on-1 again

some how they ended up getting 2 3 pointers out of 2 of the missed transition plays lol.

 

[The_Jamal]

I like this lineup a lot.

I don't blame Len for guys making shots on the perimeter but he was directly responsible for creating a half dozen extra possessions for the Raptors with his miscues.

 

[Tetsujin]

the thing about the Raptors is that they are reaching for everything on defense right now. Feels like any and every pump fake is going to draw a foul tonight

 

[Tetsujin]

I like this lineup a lot.

Our old starting lineup but with Keon in instead of HB. when Huerter is as involved as he is, it’s strong on either side of the floor

 

[Capt. Factorial]

And it still hurts my feelings

 

[funkykingston]

Raptors are shooting pretty well, but I like the Kings' team defense tonight. Good rotations, lots of communication

 

[The_Jamal]

WTH was that Fox???

 

[Tetsujin]

Deeeeeeebo

 

[Tetsujin]

LOL He almost hit that. Just absurd amounts of clutch

 

[hrdboild]

Deebo with the Mitch Richmond special (for those who remember).

At a certain point, you can’t really fault the Kings for Boucher randomly turning into Karl Anthony Towns every single time he plays them.

 

[dude12]

Have to give the Raptors and their coach some credit. They just play effing hard. If you don’t match that energy, it’s trouble.

Katie looked like her dog died or something in the pregame

Raps are 4-18 from three. A lot of their points have been straight line drives and some put backs too. Might not be able to count on them shooting that poorly from deep in the second half. We aren’t shooting much better from deep so hopefully we can do better there as well.

 

[hrdboild]

Fortunately the Raptors weren't hitting their threes (all except Boucher anyway) or getting to the free throw line in the first half so their defensive disruption hasn't resulted in a ton of points.
