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

[Capt. Factorial]

Can't take advantage of the Randle flat tire and that does it

 

[Sluggah]

Are you f’n kidding me

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Keon didn't look like he wanted to take an open shot. Not good

 

[Spike]

welp.

 

[SacTownKid]

No Fox, no nothing, dang. Just don't have the tools otherwise.

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Can't take advantage of the Randle flat tire and that does it

Yup Lyles doesn’t like to drive to the hoop against smaller guys, just take 3s when it’s the worst possible time to do it

 

[gunks]

What a crappy ending

 

[iowamcnabb]

Worse than a blow out

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Kayte, who cares if it is not a foul, there are two seconds left?

 

[HndsmCelt]

I wish the team could bottle that energy they found in the fourth to use all game long they’d be unbeatable

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Worse than a blow out

I was thinking that Murray could be a go to guy down the stretch of games at this point, but he's not really there yet

Fox only has so much to go around haha.

 

[White_Chocolate]

Tough loss. Great game though

 

[iowamcnabb]

Just torture being a fanatic. We lose AGAIN because of threes, this time the defense. Wtf. And now we have to go into a back to back with no legs

 

[Sluggah]

Gotta hurt for Fox to not get the win.

 

[The_Jamal]

Brilliant Fox. Awesome to see he's got THIS level of a gear.

F--- for Brown and staff. Just baffling decision after baffling decision. Entirely winnable game with a legendary Fox game that threw away with just horrible lineup decisions.

 

[206Fan]

I was thinking that Murray could be a go to guy down the stretch of games at this point, but he's not really there yet

Not to overreact, but I don’t think he’s ever going to be that guy. We needed him to be a #3 guy tonight and he needed 15 shots to get 14pts…

 

[iowamcnabb]

Their guys are splashing them when it matters ours are banking them in or air balling them.

 

[SacTownKid]

That's just not him. He can do it at times but the creation of that type of player is either there or isn't by his age. Yeah, he looks like he's the Tayshaun Prince of this team to me. Doing the little things that nobody else does and playing D. His rebounding has been huge this season too. The good news is for now the Kings might have that 2nd option in DDR. No real room for anyone else at this point anyway.

 

[206Fan]

Keon didn't look like he wanted to take an open shot. Not good

Yep, and that’s why he’s not starting

 

[KF8]

Sucks that this is an overtime loss... not sure how much left they will have for tomorrow's game against the Jazz.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Ugh what a gut punch. I would have just brushed off a blow out but to come all the way back and then lose by the same issue we have had all season? Dang

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Not to overreact, but I don’t think he’s ever going to be that guy. We needed him to be a #3 guy tonight and he needed 15 shots to get 14pts…

Looks like a 3 and D guy and his shooting has not been good

 

[hrdboild]

So close and yet, no beam. It's hard not to think that Minnesota stole one with those two quick trigger AND-1 calls on back to back possessions to force OT. It felt pre-meditated in both cases, like they were calling a foul there no matter what.

Hopefully Deebo is back

It's those crucial singular moments. Like watching Edwards just beat every player guarding him while Keon is on the sidelines. Edwards might have scored still but at least it wasn't abuse.

 

[Caccia]

Gotta hurt for Fox to not get the win.

Usually, the team comes through in a situation like this, but Anthony Edwards is one tough dude to stop. Multiple Kings were chasing him around the floor and he still came up with the crucial three.

Like I said, the NBA put too much money into Ant being the next MJ to stop now

 

[SacTownKid]

Looks like a 3 and D guy and his shooting has not been good

And for another year, it's clear, thank goodness he is that 3 and D guy (I mean, the shot will come back) because the Kings have VERY few of those to go around.

 

[The_Jamal]

He can be, but he's got to be the 40% 3pt shooter in order to get there. He's still an incredibly valuable starter in his current form, but the star leap requires all of this+ the rookie year shooting.
