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

[Chupacabra]

Every team we play will now trot out their longest lineup possible.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

With the injuries and trades the Blazers do have that athletic wing team the Kings struggle with but the Kings need to wake up here. I think they feel the heat of breaking that streak.

Absolutely. That, and the fact that these guys who are normally deep, deep, deeeeeep reserves are playing like they eat their soup with a fork, makes for a potentially dangerous matchup.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

So, if you bang into a stationary guy enough, you get a foul call?

 

[kingdivac]

17% from three ain't gonna cut it

18.5% Monday.

 

[Chupacabra]

Man Metu must have REALLY pissed off Brown

He probably said something along the lines of "Coach, I want to start showcasing my point guard skills"

 

[ESP47]

Spamming and missing 3s. Go inside.

 

[KainLear]

Despite how lackadaisical we looked in the 1st, we somehow still only down 1.

We need to pick up the energy, or F around and let your opponent with half their member missing start heating up.

 

[SLAB]

Really killing it, boys.

 

[SacTownKid]

Another zone crushing the offense. All the Kings have to do is run middle pick and roll. That's all. No trick garbage required in the NBA.

I'm impressed with Sharpes handles. I thought he wouldn't have that until a bit later on. Hopefully this is the offseason where the Blazers come to their senses and rebuild finally. Sharpe has legit star potential.

 

[LoungeLizard]

The missed wide open 3s is really getting old.

 

[DynaPamm]

Had to walk away to take a phone call wow Portland up by one end of first …. I’m like what happened to us coming out and playing hard?? That also includes the refs playing hard not to call fouls on Fox and Sabonis

 

[SacTownKid]

And right on schedule, middle pnr up the gut! lol.

 

[PorchSurfin]

Barnes not gonna shave until we make the playoffs again?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Spamming and missing 3s. Go inside.

But we're blowing layups too

 

[dude12]

At least Len is making plays right now

 

[TaxMan]

But we're blowing layups too

Feels like Barnes has been blowing a lot of gummies the last couple weeks.

 

[Sluggah]

Maybe they’re struggling to stay awake in this arena

 

[KainLear]

Barnes is almost on demand in drawing fouls, he needs to give Domas and Fox some intensive private lessons.

 

[kingdivac]

Len looking ok.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Feels like Barnes has been blowing a lot of gummies the last couple weeks.

The gummies might explain how the team is playing lately.

 

[dude12]

Brown must be looking at some potential matchup in the playoffs where we need Len’s size

 

[Caccia]

Lyles gets hit twice on the drive, no call.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Another lackluster start. Maybe they should have brought in the tacos y'all are talking about.

 

[kingdivac]

Master plan - activate Alex Len.....

 

[TaxMan]

The gummies might explain how the team is playing lately.

lol…. It is Portland

 

[forza kings]

Blazers are so bad that we seem to take this game lightly and think we can win it even without trying. I hope we won’t be embarrassed badly at the end.

 

[KainLear]

Brown must be looking at some potential matchup in the playoffs where we need Len’s size

I mean, if he wants to experiment, since we are about to clinch so I guess this will be the time.

Let's hope we don't experiment so much that create a team-wide slump and have to rebuild some chemistry with all our different lineups.

 

[Kingz19]

This is pretty boring. Kings need to break out lol

 

[Woot!]

Absolute brickfest.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Brown must be looking at some potential matchup in the playoffs where we need Len’s size

I've been calling for this all season. At least keep Len ready to use against the biggest centers like Adams, Jokic, and Gobert
