[Game] Kings @ Warriors, 10/23/2022 5:30pm Pacific, 8:30pm Eastern

[The_Jamal]

Offense has been mostly great, getting Monk on board for his best half too.

Problem is, no one gives a crap on D.

 

[Woot!]

To those of you who don't know: giving up 50+ pts in a quarter, as the Kings just did, is not good.

Barnes this year…

• 0-5 3PT (.000 3P%)
• 7-13 FT (.538 FT%)

…what is going on?

Was it against the Kings?

The most was a crazy 107 by the Suns in 1990, so at least that's safe.

Score 70 in the half and down 20. UGLY.

 

[ESP47]

Did you guys know Klay Thompson once scored 37pts in a quarter on us?

 

[gunks]

Tank for Wemby haha

 

[White_Chocolate]

Steph is unreal. Defense matters to an extent but sometimes best players of all time don’t care. On another note, Harrison Barnes is done. He looks completely uninterested on both sides of the court. Wish we had moved him last season. At this point I don’t know what we get for him.

 

[joemama]

We're not tanking for victor.
We are just playing and earning him.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Bill Kennedy strikes again.

The FTs are the mystery.

And getting cooked on D over and over. Some dudes hit their wall earlier than others. Might have happened to Barnes

 

[Tetsujin]

Steph was in full Steph mode. Kings inexplicably not totally out of this game though.

 

[kingdivac]

HORRIBLE set to close - no urgency

Makes me wonder if he's checked out on this team, knowing that he's not likely part of the extended plans. Never an excuse to not keep playing, but it happens

 

[iowamcnabb]

Tough stuff. Not that we would be winning without him going off but it’s pretty hard to compete when PG and now Curry are having “super nova” games

 

[Tetsujin]

Sure some of it was defensive breakdowns but so much of that quarter was just Steph dropping threes with hands in his face and falling out of bounds.

• 0-5 3PT (.000 3P%)
• 7-13 FT (.538 FT%)

Part of it is a role change. They just aren't factoring him into the offense and when he does look to make a play he looks disinterested. Stick him in the corner and tell him to shoot when he gets it. They obviously want him to drive off the catch but while it has opened up other shots, it's not helping his game at all.

 

[Sluggah]

50 point quarter. 21 of em from Steph. What are ya gonna do

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I mean, Barnes might be checked out, but I've seen him head to the locker room when taken out of the game twice now (once last night, once tonight) so there's a decent chance he's not physically right and the team just isn't saying anything.

 

[SacTownKid]

Sure some of it was defensive breakdowns but so much of that quarter was just Steph dropping threes with hands in his face and falling out of bounds.

And part of it has been the same problem this season. When the Kings turn the ball over or take a bad shot you might as well count it on the other end.

 

[joemama]

Until we have a player like victor W. We are not going to get the whistles other teams do.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

The most was a crazy 107 by the Suns in 1990, so at least that's safe.

Was that against Denver or the Kings?

 

[The_Jamal]

Good news:Monk, Sabonis and Holmes decided to join the season. Keegan is extremely fun and Fox basically gets

Bad news: Davion beyond awful, Barnes worse than that and the defensive intensity from the first 2 games is gone. Down 18 when you score 71 in a half is just pure lack of energy on defense

 

[joemama]

I hate Bill Kennedy

Hate is not a strong enough word.

 

[ESP47]

I don't think Barnes is the type to check out or give up. Never heard anything other than the guy being as stand up of a guy as it gets in the NBA.

 

[New Era]

Hate is not a strong enough word.

Why do you "hate" Bill Kennedy? It's not like he was refereeing the 2002 playoffs when we played the Lakers.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Shooting 52 percent from the field and getting mollywhopped. Sheesh!

 

[twslam07]

And getting cooked on D over and over. Some dudes hit their wall earlier than others. Might have happened to Barnes

That Barnes and 2023 IND 2nd for Jae Crowder and PJ Washington trade is looking better by the minute
