[Game] Play-in Tournament 9/10 game: Kings vs. Mavericks 16 APR 2025, 7pm PT/10pm ET (ESPN)

Good time to hit some FT's Devin.

 

[Tetsujin]

Fox trade doesn’t look so bad if you frame it as us just freeing up playing time for Friar.

 

[SacTownKid]

LaVine is a total liability when he's off. Not your go to guy.

Best port in a storm.

(What's our short-hand for Carter? Friar, DC??)

Regardless Friar with a nice dribble-drive, draws the foul

 

[coolhandluke]

What the hell was that end of the quarter play?

 

[Spike]

I can live with this start.

Carter is too long, so shorten it one letter to Friar

 

[The_Jamal]

I still don't get in the year of our lord, 2025, that NBA coaches worth millions of dollar heading a billion dollar organization still just draw up the 1-4 ISO as an end of quarter play. There simply has to be a better way to value that possession.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

All right, kids, I gotta head out and hold down second base for my boys on the softball field, so play nice and get us a W

That's the potential with him. That first step, decent body to absorb contact. He could be a foul merchant if he gets his handle a bit tighter.

I can live with this start.

Yeah it was looking hairy for a few minutes but this should be competitive

 

[megapoxy]

The "trick" of Mavs was for AD to take the ball way far from the basket, for Domas to follow him and create easy baskets inside the unprotected paint.
We found a way to defend that somehow and came back, hopefully it stays that way and AD + Klay continue to throw bricks from outside

 

[whitechocolate]

1st quarter thoughts: Slim is sleeping on banana ice cream.

 

[coolhandluke]

I can live with this start.

Happy with the lead but disappointed with the shots we are taking.

 

[Sluggah]

Offense looking a bit rough

 

[DynaPamm]

Man the first qtr was a little shakey. Hope we defend the the point shooters better can’t stand to see the wide 3 open shots and the energy in here is phenomenal HEAR US ROAR

 

[SLAB]

Wtf even is this quarter?

 

[SLAB]

I feel like I saw Sabonis hit every single three before the All-Star Break, and haven’t seen him hit one since.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Nothing like starting the quarter giving up eight straight to keep the crowd engaged.

 

[gunks]

Feels like Domas is 0-10 in the past two minutes

 

[Tetsujin]

Rough rough rough stretch from Domas

 

[megapoxy]

I feel like I saw Sabonis hit every single three before the All-Star Break, and haven’t seen him hit one since.

He hit middies and 3s vs Suns, now can't score a basket.

 

[SacTownKid]

The starters looking a little shook tonight. Domas is back to not really looking to even be much of a threat offensively. He's getting elbow looks, take them!

 

[iowamcnabb]

Can’t get beat in the paint AND lose the three point battle

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I feel like I saw Sabonis hit every single three before the All-Star Break, and haven’t seen him hit one since.

When you skip the last regular-season game on purpose, just so you can make that post...

 

[Caccia]

I feel like I saw Sabonis hit every single three before the All-Star Break, and haven’t seen him hit one since.

He hit 4-4 in the last game.

Fox trade doesn’t look so bad if you frame it as us just freeing up playing time for Friar.

Trading your best player to free up time for a player that doesn’t have half his potential is a wild take

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Sabonis man. Come on. I love the guy but how can he not dominate vs these guys. Is he a star or not+

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Feels like Domas is 0-10 in the past two minutes

Playoff Sabonis might be a real thing

 

[SLAB]

He hit 4-4 in the last game.

Lol, missed a perfect one to pair with that post.
