[Game] Kings vs. Wizards, 12/23/2022 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[Tetsujin]

Kings shooting 37.5% from the field while the Wizards shooting 57.1%. Wizards also haven't turned the ball over at all.

It’s becoming increasingly more obvious that with out Domas on the floor we are a slightly below average team. We really need to hope Domas stays healthy or at least find a solution to when he’s not on the floor. He can’t play 40 minutes a night

 

[pdxKingsFan]

plenty of time to start hitting our shots and for Washington to fall back to earth but this is frustrating. also the constant fouling on defense.

 

[Tetsujin]

As this site's resident Japanese person, I'd like to inform everyone that Rui normally doesn't play like Jayson Tatum and Luka combined.

 

[MizzouKing]

Poor shooting leading to poor confidence and poor ball movement…

 

[Sluggah]

Yikes.

 

[LoungeLizard]

This is pathetic

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Egad.

 

[Remi]

Ugly game, Kings with strange coaching, bad plays and Wizzards playing like a top team.

 

[Kingz19]

Well, it looks like this favorable stretch is just another crap shoot stretch of the schedule.

Pathetic performance

 

[forza kings]

No question this is on Brown so far.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I was looking forward to a nice start to a long weekend...

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Down 20 in the first half at home to an 11-21 Wizards team who are on a second night of a back to back. This is pathetic.

For sure, but one thing is pretty clear, the Kings have trouble with these bigger and more physical wing teams. That 3 G lineup was way outmatched like the Hornets game and the slide started from there on.

 

[Woot!]

Malik haas not helped tonight. Yet he's played a very long stretch.

This is one case where his -22 +/- in 11 minutes tells a true story.

 

[MizzouKing]

Maybe they should have fed our guys something today…

 

[Lionheart]

Hey everyone, first post here! Kings fan from NC and a teacher. Glad to be here.

 

[Sluggah]

Are we drunk?

 

[pdxKingsFan]

it just keeps getting worse.

 

[Woot!]

This is horrible. Just bad, BAD basketball from the Kings.

 

[kingsboi]

when you are winning every team is coming for your head and Kings once again not ready for the challenge unfortunately

 

[SacTownKid]

Man, a zone? really? No, switch into pressure, they are giving you the only option you ever have coach. This sagging double off pick and roll is a joke.

 

[iowamcnabb]

our chemistry is so good that when a couple guys suck, everyone sucks.

 

[captain bill]

Well at least one nice thing came out of this half

 

[Tetsujin]

Domas's sore hand might be affecting him because his passes and handle have all been off in this second quarter stint.

 

[KF8]

Ok chill out guys. This is the typical Kings game where they go down big at half time then come back in the second half.

 

[MizzouKing]

It’s like everyone is discomboomerated by being pulled away from their Christmas festivities!

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I was thinking it would be nice if we cut it to 15 and we had a shot but it fell about 12 feet off. oy.

It's another game where the ball pressure has taken a backseat. The only way to survive when they let teams get everything they want either on mismatches or pick and roll is the Kings have to be firing on all cylinders offensively. Tonight was a disaster in almost every way. It's also the first time we saw Brown really commit to letting his bench guys fight through but unfortunately for him he had 3 guards getting pounded first, then attempted to go big with Lyles/Murray where Lyles was having to cover G's. Just a huge cascading mistake and it might have already cost them the game.

goes to show you some nights you just don't have the juice. Suns getting trounced at home by Memphis
