[Game] Orlando Magic @ Sacramento Kings, 1/3/24,7p PST/10p EST

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Now for the really bad news: nobody on the Kings is in foul trouble...



... except for Malik Monk.

 

[206Fan]

Brown used his challenge on a meaningless call early in the game while up by 13. That’s stupid.

He gets too swayed by his players

 

[hrdboild]

There were a lot of ways that play could have turned out the right way, but the refs screwed up the call, the refs screwed up not reviewing it themselves, and Brown screwed up by Browning a challenge earlier in the game. All can be pointed out.

Brown was right to challenge that call though. It was a bad call. The replay review being so broken that an obvious bad call is "confirmed" by the same guys who made the bad call and then we lose a timeout too... well. That's just the NBA. We're always going to be the Kings and we know where we stand.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Well, at the time it was widely believed that he had knocked the ball out of Banchero's hands. Sheesh.

Either way. I don't get bringing in Anderson. A weird strange substitution

 

[King-Da-Yah]

Why would they overturn that? Not even close and probably a charger too

Refs seem unnecessarily rattled…not working in our favor either…

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Seems insane to me that if the refs disagree on a call, they don't go to review. Just to make it on the fly and be so wrong is crazy

the refs have to "fix" this. game was over except their blown call. Like does nobody from the league have a link to their in ear comms to say hey guys you just f'd up massively, call a few calls to insure the right team wins.

no I know it doesn't work that way but why the hell not?

I remain a fan of saving one's challenge until the very end for a crunchtime situation like this. The challenge should not used to fix a bad call during the game. The challenge should be used to save the game for you when the inevitable horrible call can cost you the game.

Until NBA refereeing become even moderately competent, it must be used this way.

Fox MIA

Malik turning the ball over again

 

[King-Da-Yah]

This is some UGLY hoop! Get the W!!!!!!!

 

[The_Jamal]

Suggs is unreal on defense. I'd empty the coffers to put him at the 2 for us

 

[nikefutbolero]

Too bad we don’t have a franchise player we can go to in critical situations…

 

[Kingz19]

Fox has been a complete non factor. Extremely disappointing

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Malik turning the ball over again

yeah we should bench him.

I mean, it should just be a rule that if something is called on the floor, the refs don't all agree, they go to review. Seems like an easy fix.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Fox no where to be found for the fourth quarter and 2 OTs. Cmon man.

 

[Krunker]

Either way. I don't get bringing in Anderson. A weird strange substitution

Brown went out of his way to bring JTA on so he must think he has a particular set of skills

 

[King-Da-Yah]

please stop…seriously

 

[captain bill]

Domas missing that freebie feels bad not gonna get many that easy

 

[Kingz19]

See…he just needed my encouragement

 

[hrdboild]

Sabonis being unable to hit that 10 footer is just murder sometimes. He couldn't have been more wide open.

 

[The_Jamal]

yeah we should bench him.

better yet, we should cut him. 37 points means nothing to me

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

What an effort by Orlando

 

[King-Da-Yah]

They just dont miss

 

[Tetsujin]

K33GS

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Why are we doubling? Maybe we would learn that they’re on fire from 3

 

[King-Da-Yah]

KKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGGHHHHGHAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN

 

[The_Jamal]

What an effort by Orlando

..and the Kings. I know it's not cool to talk good about our team, but our dudes are battling.

Keegan is coming in clutch man. Huge box out there, 2 huge boards the previous 2 possessions.
