[Game] Kings vs "Trail Blazers" 3/29/2023 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[Woot!]

Outscoring them 16-1 in the fourth so far, after holding them to 18 in the third.

We're playing a really good defensive game!

Blazers have bricked a LOT of open looks.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

They made Bigfoot a Chad?

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Best screener after Domas too.

It helps being built like a retaining wall.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Ok awesome let's see Kessler get some run the rest of the way now.

 

[The_Jamal]

Best screener after Domas too.

Just never throw him a pass on the PnR or run any sort of DHO through him. Other than that, there's enough to like with Len with our current options. He's played pretty well the last 2 games

 

[TaxMan]

Sharpe is going to be really good. He’s just so smooth.

 

[The_Jamal]

Sharpe has real talent, but just such a weird selection from POR trying to maximize a winning window around Dame. He probably still needs 2-3 years before he's ready to access his full potential.

 

[Spike]

Let's speed up the clock a bit.

 

[coolhandluke]

Good to see Monk getting back his shooting stroke.

 

[TaxMan]

Metu coming in. I guess he’s ok.

 

[KainLear]

 

[Krunker]

Nice Len time to sharpen him up if we need a big for the playoffs and rest for Domas

 

[The_Jamal]

I don't mind Monk getting his cannon going vs some scrubs. Much needed.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

When Monk is feeling it... he just looks so smooth and easy out there.

 

[TaxMan]

So glad we get a double dose of this game on Friday.

 

[Woot!]

What I meant wuz: 120-85.

Mizquoted!

257-3.

I don't know about that. He was a lot more effective this season, than most of us thought

Or for matchups - which can get crazy and strategic in the playoffs. Brown's post season experience already showing in the regular season.

Well if we blame the kings defense for opponents hitting wide open threes, we need to give them credit when they miss….right?

 

[The_Jamal]

So glad we get a double dose of this game on Friday.

I'll be real curious how Brown starts to manage rest down the stretch here. Do we still try and chase down MEM for 2? Or do we just lock in 3 and start resting guys different games, keeping minutes in the 28-30 range?

That's how it works.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Metu coming in. I guess he’s ok.

It seems that players 8-12 on the depth chart, can fall in and out of the rotation at any random time

 

[Woot!]

Kings have 60 boards w/6 min to go.

That's a LOT of bricks, y'all.

Portland hired one of the Draft Express guy, Mike Schmitz a month before the draft. During the entire season when he was on ESPN's payroll, he was really high on Sharpe and saw him as a player with super star potential (I'm paraphrasing). I think Schmitz played a big role in convincing the FO to go BPA and get him for life after Dame.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Just absolutely love seeing Carmichael Dave there in the stands.

 

[thingfish]

I’m not gonna lie, I’m a bit emotional at the moment. Here’s to the best F’n fan base in the world. Enjoy this moment my friends! Cheers! LIGHT THE BEAM!

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

It's been so freaking long that I almost forgot what it felt like to make the playoffs...

Where's Jim Mora when we need him the most???

THE KINGS ARE ABOUT TO DO IT, FAM BAM!!!!



BEAM.
THE.
MUTHA.
EFFING.
LIGHT.

2023 NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION POSTSEASON, HERE WE COME!!!!!

 

[ESP47]

I take a phone call with the Kings up 9 and struggling and I come back and they're almost up 40.

What happened??

 

[Spike]

This is some ugly, ugly bball.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Kayte and Jones are talking about us clinching the Pacific Division...but I don't think that's right.
