[Game] Kings vs. Warriors, 10/27/2023 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern (ESPN)

put Sabonis in a pick and roll defense every possession and they are toast

 

[Caccia]

kings basically don't have a shooting guard. Huerter and Duarte have been bad.

Malik Monk might want to argue that point with you.

 

[Sluggah]

Honestly, with as bad as we’re playing on both sides…that we‘re not down 30 is impressive.

 

[sactowndog]

or how many negative comments only posters we have that come out of the woodwork.

If you are referring to me, yes I didn’t like this off-season but refrained from repeating myself until we started to get more data. This game is certainly not definitive but our inability to slow down the warriors is a concerning data point.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Fox needs to add some arc on his free throws. He shoots his mid range and short floor shots much higher and it's one of the best in the game

 

[SacTownKid]

I know we're all in doom and gloom mode tonight but this is a different game if the Kings weren't shooting way below their usual average from three.

True, the offense will come. Of course it will, but the question is where does that get this team? They aren't going to improve on the best offense ever or whatever. Keegan stepping up is key for that 3rd star need so we'll see there. Expectations are high and they should be and now it's all about how finished this product is. Monte is watching for sure and like Barnes said in the pregame, he's set himself up well for a move if need be. The response in the next game is a big thing to watch.

Duarte making things happen with his defense. Huerter in trouble

 

[Bfreeman]

domas

 

[HndsmCelt]

I'm really hoping this little bit of hustle is not too little too late

 

[SacTownKid]

Here we go, more hustle, more space munching.

 

[sactowndog]

malik is a lead guard and a very good one.

I know we're all in doom and gloom mode tonight but this is a different game if the Kings weren't shooting way below their usual average from three.

But what if this is the new norm? The 3pt shot disappeared in the playoffs and Kevin has a serious case of the yips. Not sure how good we are actually from 3pt.. but I think we need more of Sasha. Lyles coming back will help though

 

[Tetsujin]

Warriors trying to let us back in

 

[Sluggah]

Maybe try this defense 8 minutes ago?

 

[Tetsujin]

II regret to inform you. FOX IS HIM

 

[Bfreeman]

Don’t give up so easy

 

[Hoovtrain]

And it seems a hundred times worse when it's the Warriors. I typically abhor the use of the term "rent free" but, god damn, if the shoe fits...

well yeah it is 100x with the Ws, Lakers, etc in general, but especially on the heals of how game 7 went.

 

[SacTownKid]

Fox carrying bodies. Nothing new, lol.

 

[Section 101]

Fox at 36 tied with curry

 

[Bfreeman]

Cardiac Kings

 

[SacTownKid]

This dude is this dude.

 

[HndsmCelt]

This kind of hustle on every possession from the beginning of the game The warriors would be toast

 

[DesertFox]

I didn't take it seriously when Fox started taking over down 16

 

[SLAB]

I BELIEVE (don’t check my post history)

 

[kingsboi]

Kings took a real long time to wake up again, that Curry run derailed the team for a long stretch

Pressure Curry and he'll get his sure, but he won't like it.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I BELIEVE (don’t check my post history)

LOL

 

[MizzouKing]

Thankfully, This team doesn’t quit as easily as some of its “fans.”

 

[Bfreeman]

It’ll be side out I think

 

[Joshoua]

Fox is a bad man
