[Game] Kings vs. Thunder, 11/10/2023 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

Good to see Keegan using sized as bandage out there

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Time to stop shooting threes until we get into a better headspace

Brown's philosophy is to not alter your game if you go cold shooting. Common sense says find a way to see the ball go through the net. Fake a three and take it to the rack. Just like Keegan did. That was the right play there.

KEEGAN!

and Keon being a pest

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Ellis giving them fits out there

 

[Tetsujin]

Keon just a defensive menace.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Too much. Way too much.

This can happen to soft spoken people. Outsiders or people in a mentor role view it as an opportunity to micromanage and provide "leadership". It's insulting. Keegan has earned a WAY longer leash than Brown has him on.

Y'all understand that not everybody responds to the same type of coaching, right? By all indications, Murray is responding well to how he is being coached.

 

[captain bill]

Keegan doing everything even without the 3 falling. Makes me wonder if his shooting slump has to do with expending so much energy elsewhere

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

KEEEGANNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Omg!!! Murray

 

[Sluggah]

Nice recovery to end the half

He in biggest shooting slump of his career what are you talking about?

Dude is now out here playing like young Kawhi (stud doing everything but shoot)

 

[Kingz19]

Good job building that lead back up to double digits.

Domas making my pregame post look good. Knew he would feast on Chet.

I'm talking about all the people in this thread accusing Mike Brown of micromanaging Keegan Murray. What are you talking about?

 

[SacTownKid]

Keon just a defensive menace.

Perfect need filler at that G spot for Sac. Can handle the rock and D up. Now if his scoring can transition over from the G-league this is a rotation staple.

I’m one of Those guys lol. He is micro managing him. Getting in his head. Seems like Murray shook off brown tho last 2 min and just started diving and not shooting every time. I like this Murray better

Kings ended the half attacking Chet with their big beefy big men slapping meat.

 

[Bfreeman]

Maybe the slump is good forcing Keegan to get comfy with driving the NBA lanes. It’s clearly something he can do, well.

I’m ready for him to take Mitchell spot in rotation. He just doesn’t have any Iq on the offensive side. Zero play making

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Y'all understand that not everybody responds to the same type of coaching, right? By all indications, Murray is responding well to how he is being coached.

But he still looks hesitant, like he's worried he'll get yanked. But other than that, it's hard to know how Keegan is responding - he barely shows anything. For all we know he's trying to tune Brown out and just do his thing.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

It's very early, but I'm getting a sense that Ellis can be a more valuable NBA player than Mitchell. Didn't anticipate thinking that about a guy on a two way contract. Will be interesting to see how it plays out for this season

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Neither team hit a three in the second. Between both teams, 19 straight misses from three. We've missed 13 in a row (Monk hit one late in the first or it would be a lot more). Thunder have missed 12 in a row going back to the early first.

Pretty rare numbers in this era.

Hate to say it time to move on from Davion, great guy just not a great fit

 

[Kingz19]

The energy was great but thankfully OKC has matched our futility from deep with 1-16. Kings are 4-24

If the Kings ever start making shots they’ll be really good.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Or... Maybe he's just coaching the kid the way the kid needs to be coached. I can't read Keegan Murray's mind, and I'm pretty sure that you can't, either. Murray is still playing aggressively on offense, and he's still busting his ass on defense. It seems to me that, were he not receptive to how Brown is coaching him, neither of those things would be true.
