[Game] Kings vs Timberwolves 3/27/2023 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[Tetsujin]

You guys might be taking a complete outlier shooting night a little too seriously lol

 

[iowamcnabb]

Seems like every Playoffs team is a bad matchup for us at full health.

i think this is mostly the loss talking. We have the most clutch player in the league who can drop 35 plus, one of the most efficient bigs in the game and shooters galore. When we play our game we are a bad matchup too. As Fox always says, it’s a make or miss league

 

[NewArena]

You really don't have to be anxious about two in Portland but anyways the Clippers or Suns will probably lose and clinch for us at some point.

Yea we’ve pretty much clinched it. Just would’ve been nice at home but our schedule sucks with the dumb back to backs in another building

 

[Tizzy Flip]

All good, was to be expected. We’re pretty much winless against teams on the 2nd night of a back to back

 

[SLAB]

We ALL knew the Kings were going to lose. Buck up. Luckily the season ain't over. However. They need a coming to Jesus moment. They can't win in the playoffs with this kind of effort.

If there hasn’t been a come to Jesus moment about this defense in the first 74 games, why would there be now? We’re going to hope to outshoot the other team as we over rotate and end up leaving the last guy wide open over and over and over.

We have ONE bad game and suddenly we aren't going to be able to match up in every potential Playoffs matchups?

Does our league-leading offense give you guys so little to write home?

 

[NewArena]

Slow start or not, this was a rare 4th quarter loss for us.

And i don’t care what anyone says, they deflated the crowd and took us out early with all of the one sided foul calls. Super gross and hard to get into a rhythm this way

 

[fansinceday1]

Lot of doom and gloom for a team that's one win away from hosting a playoff series with seven to go.

We missed threes tonight. It happens.

Fans wanted to see the clinch at home. And maybe Keegan breaks the rookie record to boot. I totally see why there’s so much gloom here.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings probably won’t go 5/26 from three again this season

 

[KF8]

In the grand scheme of things this game doesn't mean much. We aren't catching the Grizzlies with the way they are playing and the Suns aren't likely to catch the Kings. Let's just consider it a win because no1 got injured.

Somehow, don't think HB/Fox/Keegan/Monk/Lyles are going to combined for 3-21 3PA the rest of the season. And we still had opportunities to win this one despite that

 

[SacTownKid]

Timberwolves are better without Towns; I don't know why y'all trippin'?

We might see. If it means the Kings can score more easily it will for sure help. If the Kings can't get up to that typical scoring output, it's kaput.

 

[Kingz19]

Second half dud by Fox. He was 8-10 at one point. Finishes 9-18.

The help never came and the guys that were performing stopped performing.

Another Golden 1 dud

 

[Sluggah]

A steal, a three, a steal, a three. Easy peazy

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Not what I saw last night against the warriors.

Warriors are overrated. Whomever the Timberwolves are matched up against will beat them in the first round if Towns plays. You watch what I tell you.

 

[KainLear]

Brown out-coached himself: he let the moment get the better of him.

Especially seeing the bad matchup, I question the decision to not play Kessler Edwards a lot more when neither Trey nor Malik was hot.

 

[King-Da-Yah]

I mean, should we just let the suns catch us? If it means not playing a 7 game series against Minny…they have had our number all year….

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Fans wanted to see the clinch at home. And maybe Keegan breaks the rookie record to boot. I totally see why there’s so much gloom here.

But all of a sudden we can't match up against any playoff team! We're sure to get booted in the first round! It would have been really nice ot clinch at home. Not gonna happen this year. We'll be clinching on an off day or on the road. So it goes.

 

[kingsboi]

another loss to the Wolves? that's now 1-3 versus them. Hopefully they don't match up in the first round, not a good matchup for this team or any team with size matter of fact

 

[PorchSurfin]

Kings want no part of the Twolves in the playoffs....take any other team including Suns....

I dont care who they play. In case you are blind, neither do they. In a series, they will figure things out and make adjustments.

They weren't ready for tonight. It happens.

You can't blame em....that was at home for a playoff berth. Gotta perform for your 'hommies'.

 

[iowamcnabb]

this likely takes 50 wins off the table but that might be a thing. Once we clinch, we can reduce minutes a bit for guys

Kings fans hating Boogie but somehow thinking KAT is Hakeem/Kareem/Wilt with Steph’s jump shot will never not be weird to me.

First round loss be darned, I want that Pacific Division banner!!!!

well one man's trash is a certain away fan's treasure.

Fans will say anything that supports their narrative.

Are you kidding? Big dude shoots threes like a free throw. With him on the floor, Wolves are scarier than the Suns.

If you can predict who's going to be the #5 and who's going to be the #6 right now, you're a better man than I.

I dont think so....the Wolves have beaten them the same way 3 times. They know how to beat em

Dude’s the softest player in the league and the T-Wolves were playing worse defense than the Kings before he went out with a calf injury.
