[Game] Kings vs. Timberwolves 3/4/2023, 7p Pacific/10p Eastern

[Kingz19]

Kings working hard for everything. Minnesota hardly working for any of their shots

 

[kingdivac]

Getting outworked......

 

[206Fan]

This defense is certainly…. Something.

 

[Kingz19]

All one on one

 

[Woot!]

Domas.

My goodness.

Kings're SOOOO lucky to have him.

 

[kingdivac]

All one on one

Yep 9 assists in 1H with 3min+ to go.....

 

[kingdivac]

Wolves bench outplayed Kings bench thus far also

 

[Woot!]

Wolves have played 9 guys; 8 of them have a made 3 (all but Gobert).

 

[Kingz19]

All day to shoot

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Don't you dare touch Foxy's wrist.

 

[Kingz19]

All day to shoot

long enough for Nas Reid and Kyle Anderson to get their slow ass shots off

 

[Sluggah]

Not sure I’ve seen more wide open 3s.

 

[kingdivac]

Kings are on the precipise of this game getting ugly,

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Horrible effort so far.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Fox really hurting us today on both ends.

 

[kingdivac]

They were alot more aggressive against Clippers on offense. This may be a blowout by Wolves

 

[Kingz19]

You would think a team that allows open threes all game would atleast have the paint tied down. Kings have neither. Terrible first half. Fortunate it’s only 10

 

[HndsmCelt]

There's a lot going on but simply being more aggressive rebounding on each end would go a long way to get in the Kings back in this game

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

It’s so frustrating that we’re this “meh” at home.

 

[SacTownKid]

The Kings have to start switching these screens and Brown better look at going a little smaller next half. The Wolves are tough to matchup with because they have so many athletic wings. Browns 3 guards are too small, Browns 2 bigs are too slow.

 

[Caccia]

Fox really hurting us today on both ends.

On defense, certainly, especially at the end of the half, when his wrist started to hurt. But he is 4-9 with three assists. Hard to fault that.

 

[bball_nomad]

33-15 advantage from the distance for the Wolves. Not good at all.

 

[Fantazija]

The d is beyond horrible.Wide open three after wide open three.

 

[Caccia]

They may have to take Fox out for the second half. It depends on what the trainers or physicians say about that left wrist.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Minny prob won’t shoot like that in the second half so cut it to 6 or 7 by the 4th and then rip them to bits

 

[KF8]

They may have to take Fox out for the second half. It depends on what the trainers or physicians say about that left wrist.

Source?

It all stems from literally zero pride in keeping the opposing ball handler in front of them as defenders. That initial failed point of attack defense leads to both easy looks in the paint and easy 3 pointers. And is the next step this team needs to take in its development.

 

[Fantazija]

Too much hero ball from DF, but 64 points, defense though ohhh boy...And if they do try to close out then an extremely easy straight line blow by immediately.frustrating

 

[Kingster]

Agreed about the defense. But how about diversifying the offense? Sabonis can't do it all. What does Murray have? One shot attempt? The guy is shooting 40% from 3 and he has one freaking shot in the first half. Move the ball and get some guys open.

 

[Fantazija]

One of the worst first halfs in a while
