[Game] Los Angeles Clippers at Sacramento Kings, 11/29/2023, 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[Tizzy Flip]

Brown needs to pull all his starters. They’re gassed and not thinking clearly

 

[Bfreeman]

A little too soon but they are playing badly. I really wish our starting schedule wasn’t only western teams. Need a break from this S.

It might have been interesting to put Domas on the Bench to start the third against Zubatz and try to spread the floor. But for it to work Lyles has to hit the corner 3 and he is 0-2. Then play Domas against Theis who he can bully.

Regardless Sabonis never plays well against centers strong enough to bully him versus him bullying the opponent. It’s why I think he is overpaid and his contract is a bad one. It’s a problem for which Mike is going to have to find a solution for us to advance.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Vezenkov looks like he has full confidence on his shot

 

[Capt. Factorial]

At this point, the game should really be "let Sasha shoot every time down" and see what happens.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

We need to sign Zubac to be our next Alex Len.

I think losing Len was more significant than anyone thought. Javale is very unpredictable

 

[sactowndog]

The concern is that most of his worst matchups are starting centers in the West (playoffs). Looney, Zubac, Jokic, Nurkic, Adams,

all bigger and stronger.

 

[Kingz19]

More Sasha shooting please

 

[206Fan]

HB has turned into an absolutely useless team defender.

I think HB has to be the 1 player we flip at the deadline. He's in a clear decline and moves at 0.75 speed. Last year his isolation scoring was a big positive to the team, but we've completely gone away from that. His days as an above average starter in the league are being outnumbered. His contract at least allows us to match salaries for OG

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

It it's ~15 going into the fourth I'll hold out some hope....

 

[Tetsujin]

Not amongst Trey's better performances

I have to agree. Unfortunately. The ceiling in hopes of being a contender would seem limited, unless he can add an effective outside shot, or even a consistent mid range game

Trouble is gonna take a lot more than HB to get that done. Why would they gives tender cuts for our cod.

Just move him to the 2nd unit. He could thrive there. Don't know, until they try it

We're attaching all of our 1sts to HB

 

[SCKingsfan]

Sasha is +10 in this crapstorm

 

[KF8]

Who could we have signed for 19mil instead of barnes though?

 

[Kingz19]

Sasha is +10 in this crapstorm

wish they started him when it was 0-0 rather than when they were down 22 but whatever

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Can't afford him. He's a starting caliber center. How about when Len is healthy, just play him

 

[Bfreeman]

Seems like coach likes something about Duarte. Interesting to see how long that lasts

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

We need to sign Zubac to be our next Alex Len.

Out of curiosity, why would Zubac want to do that?

 

[iowamcnabb]

We have been down 20 or more in 6 of our 17 games if memory serves? I wonder if that leads the league among teams with a winning record?

 

[Tetsujin]

HB gets trucked by a Clipper, falls and has Norm Powell trip over him, resulting in Norm hurting his knee somehow.

But Barnes didn't finish through the contact, so we have to trade him.

 

[206Fan]

Kings about to go on a 5-0 run just to give up back to back 3s and be minus 1pt.

 

[SacTownKid]

Wow, common foul. Nope.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Trey at 5 lineup aint gonna work on nights where Trey is playing absolutely horrendously

 

[TaxMan]

Down by 20…blah blah blah, a lot of stuff happens….down by 20

 

[Tetsujin]

Just take the open three, Trey
