[Game] Kings vs. Suns, 11/28/2022 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[Tetsujin]

Still busy so still no writeup! Plus, whatever I'd have written surely wouldn't have lived up to the dread and panic ripping through the Kingdom after two hard-fought road losses in a row.


GO KINGS!

Chris Paul is a out for this one so the Sabonis/ Ayton matchup will be big. I’m curious to see if Brown will put KZ on Book for stretches

 

[HndsmCelt]

I hate the term "Must Win Game" especially this early in the season, but if the team is serious about playing next-level ball they need to play hard defense for 48. No 10-20 point holes to climb out of and ply their game, not the Suns.

Phoenix great at home and dreadful on the road. Let's hope that holds.

If recent history is a guide, Keegan will probably open up on Booker at least some of the time. But KZ sure looks like he's starting to earn some minutes again, and Booker is the obvious guy we need to shut down on the perimeter, so that's pretty likely.

Leaving out the very beginning of the season when the Kings lost four in row, the Kings have beaten the lower ranked teams and recently went 1-2 against very good teams on the recent road trip. They are where they should be, imo. I think the Kings have a better team than the Suns. With Paul, Johnson and Crowder out with injury, I would expect the Kings' bench to have a good outing.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Trey Lyles is out tonight.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Trey Lyles is out tonight.

First guess is that Keegan and KZ eat those minutes.

Perhaps Richaun can get up for playing against his former team?

If Keon can shoot better than Mitchell then he may have more value right now.

I love Mike Brown

 

[NewArena]

Idk. I feel good about this one and our chances, as we knew that road trip would be tough. That Memphis win was huge and gave us some cushion, but, now i expect us to get back into the win column and back into our groove.

GO KINGS!!

I really feel good about our chances and love our depth. Fox and Sabonis staying out foul trouble is huge, and I’d like to see our entry passed to Sabonis be more intentional. Don’t just force feed em and toss the ball into the air as if he’s Victor Wembanyama.

Yeah I think KZ very likely falls into that role. Especially with Booker, we'll need the defense.

Home court going to spur us to a win

Let’s get this party started. That was a long 2 days. Ready to watch some kings.

 

[Turgenev]

Kayte still sounds a little under the weather.

 

[Turgenev]

If I could steal any of Phx's players it would be Mikal Bridges. Obviously isn't happening...

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Huerter is doing it all!

 

[Tetsujin]

Phoenix has absolutely no answer for Domas and Huerter right now.

 

[Tetsujin]

Huerter took the Pacers guy forgetting about him in his Buddy Hield tweet personally.

 

[Turgenev]

Keegan post up! Keep it coming.

Ayton hella traveled

 

[Caccia]

Barnes is doing a great job on Booker so far.

 

[Bfreeman]

Murray with the block, he’ll be fine.

 

[Tetsujin]

New rule: The Suns are apparently allowed to move their pivot feet.

 

[Entity]

Murray with the block, he’ll be fine.

I thought dude took like 4 steps after the block as well

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Haven’t taken many threes yet. If we can stay ahead until late, we can hopefully pull this out. Suns are on their third game in four days so they’ll have tired legs.

 

[Bfreeman]

I feel good about tonight, a decent start for the boys
