[Game] Kings vs Timberwolves, 11/15/2024 7pm PST 10pm EST (Emirates Cup Game)

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

From that angle, it looks like Mike Brown just blew another challenge.

 

[SacTownKid]

what about applying full court pressure for the majority of the game, and I don't mean those which are just kind of strolling along with the ball handler but being active with the hands and feet

Yeah, players probably can't sustain full court pressure for a whole game but throwing it in here and there has worked. Brown just doesn't do until almost the game is lost anyway. It's mind boggling.

 

[Tetsujin]

Refs blind

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Kayte is wrong on every single challenge

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I'd stop helping off of the corner 3 for starters. Our closeouts are late every single time because that defender hedges into the paint. I'd be overly aggressive at staying tight on shooters. You just simply can't let these 50%+ 3P% vs us keep happening.


Offensively, just keep pulling the open looks. You have to trust they're going to fall eventually and our whole offensive concept is built around Fox/Domas/DDR getting to the rim, collapsing defensive attention and finding the open shooters on the outside.

What the F was Kevin doing there? The Kings ran great switch on the ball the play before and he's sitting on someone elses man that play leaving the corner LITERALLY wide open.

the helping off the 3 point line has been my biggest complaint with this team for a long while. Why they continue to do this is a mystery to me

 

[SacTownKid]

Theres a nice little baby hook by Domas.

with Fox, Keon and eventually Carter when he plays, it would be a shame to not use that quickness to play some disruptive back court defense

 

[Sluggah]

BS call

 

[The_Jamal]

Where the **** is the travel?

 

[Caccia]

Keon needs to play heavy minutes the rest of the way or we are not going to pull this one out.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Where the **** is the travel?

Keeping your pivot foot is a travel now

 

[Tetsujin]

League put too much money into the “Ant is MJ” narrative to stop now

 

[Capt. Factorial]

From that angle, it looks like Mike Brown just blew another challenge.

Would have been useful on that "travel", huh?

 

[TaxMan]

What the hell. Where was the travel

 

[HndsmCelt]

Keeping your pivot foot is a travel now

Apparently, it is when your coach uses his challenge up

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

You want to see a major error with this defense, rewind to 4:39 of this 2nd quarter. The entire team collapsed into the lane, leaving the 3 point line open

 

[TaxMan]

Keeping your pivot foot is a travel now

But at least we now get a three step “gather”

 

[The_Jamal]

Like WHY is Keegan tagging Gobert there. He's ****ing LATE challenging that corner 3.

I'd say it's a miscue from Keegan, but this crap just happens all ****ing game. Loucks needs to go, this scheme is trash.

 

[Kingz19]

Kings opponent lighting it up from three

Must be a day ending in Y

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Nothing like three straight turnovers when you're desperate to try and build some momentum.

 

[The_Jamal]

And then stupid ass Randle hits crap like that with Lyles drapped all over him

Basketball sucks

 

[Kingz19]

Come on man

Stupid turnovers

 

[Sluggah]

Fox and in-season tournaments. Name a better pairing.

 

[TaxMan]

I think we need a 50 from fox this game

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Check out the play that starts at about 4:39. Just unreal stupidity of a defensive scheme, despite them having missed the shot

 

[sactowndog]

Not going to win if Huerter and Murray don’t have a single 3

 

[SacTownKid]

That's another one of those things that bugs me. Why is Fox taking the ball out of bounds? You want him to get the shot, not give it to a lesser talent.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Nice rally, refs not having it.

 

[The_Jamal]

-Someone's got to step up and help Fox here. Although him getting stripped like that every game is a bit annoying.

Fox 3-4 from 3. Rest of the team 3-13. Not good enough with no DDR and Monk.

-Someone lock Loucks in the locker room and abandon this defensive scheme. It sucks.

-Lyles "de facto" starter minutes, thought he played well. Not sure why we screwed around with the Len starting, just put us behind the 8-ball for no reason. And we didn't go back to it, so pretty clear Brown doesn't believe in that grouping. So why do it in the first place?

 

[The_Jamal]

Also, get Keon on the damn floor for 16+ minutes this half please. It's needed.
