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

Hahaha. I missed it. They got this in the Moda Center?

Yeah, wandering about. Was on the court during timeout. It’s…not good.

Fox taking too many 3's.. already 5.. it's not his game he's a bad shooter

 

[Hoovtrain]

This game is pretty blah

 

[SLAB]

I’m so uninspired by this team rn.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Talking about exploding whales on the Portland telecast now. This is quite the game so far.

 

[Caccia]

The starters are not exactly covering themselves with glory. Fortunately, the Blazers do not even have a center on the floor, and are getting outrebounded, 29-22.

For real, take it these shotblockers and get to the line, fella!

Garbage half

Sheriff looks like he's preparing to spend the night on Hoth.

crap

 

[TaxMan]

uninspiring. First, we better freaking win this game. Portland is trying hard but not good. Second, I don’t necessarily care if we blow them out by 20+, but I at least want to see us blast them to start the third and then keep things at a comfortable double digit lead.

 

[forza kings]

Brown should start with full bench in the third quarter.

That building could honestly put just about anyone to sleep at the moment and the Kings look like they are ready to catch a few Z's, lol. Still ahead though which shows you how tankable this Blazers squad can be.

 

[206Fan]

what's wrong with the team? they look extremely disinterested out there in the 1st half. there's really no reason why they came out as flat as they did after failing to clinch the playoffs at home. mike brown will probably light a fire under them at half-time

 

[gunks]

Lame first half. Fox was killin me out there.

Kings need to do a better job of respecting their opponent.... And blow them out by at least 20 on their home court!

 

[SacTownKid]

Brown should start with full bench in the third quarter.

That might work if they weren't absolutely dreadful themselves haha. Len and Monk had a few good plays though.

Yeah, it didn't end well for him. They should have just blown it up in the first place

Well, let’s face it. I think the win one for the “clinch”, is a fans passion. Absent losing every game through the end of the season and teams below them winning every game, they are already in the playoffs. Almost surely in the third seed. I think they are facing a bad team, in a dead arena and looking forward to the playoffs.

 

[Woot!]

120-105 Good Guys.

I feel confident we'll win this one. I do think there's a bit of playing down to your opponent though. I think it's partly this time in the season though. Guys look like they are trying to conserve energy. It's hard to go full speed every single game, especially at the pace we play. If it stays close late in the game I expect they'll dig deep and turn it on.

The bad 3 pt shooting seems to me like a legs issue.

Murray just tied mitchell for most 3 by a rookie. 1 more to beat it!

 

[Caccia]

Remember when guys used to pass the ball on a two-on-one break?

The Kings do it so little, you have to wonder if the coaches discourage it. I miss seeing a beautiful give and go on the break. You see it in soccer sometimes.

 

[joemama]

Eubanks is turrible.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Better

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Kings must have had a team meeting at half and mutually agreed to win the game. Seem to be done messing around.

@pdxKingsFan about to go nuts in the crowd.

 

[KainLear]

All the bigs are passers now huh?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I see plays like that Huerter backdoor, and the Huerter pass to Fox for the dunk in the first half, and I ask myself, "Why does everyone in the world act like three pointers are the only way to beat a zone?"

A lot of three-pointers have been clanging off the front of the rim since that stretch of six games in nine days. Honestly, the coaches need to find some rest for all the rotation players, not just Fox and Sabonis.
