[Game] Preseason Kings @ Lakers 10/3/2022 7:30pm Pacific 10:30pm Eastern

Only way this Kings team sniffs the play in is if Brown turns them into a top 5 defensive team.

I hate this offense

It'll look better once someone, anyone, hits from the perimeter. Right now the Lakers are packing the paint

 

[KainLear]

Objectively speaking, the Lakers' commentating team is God awful.

 

[Tetsujin]

How can a team playing AD, Dame Jones, Russ, and Lebron at the same time give up three consecutive offensive rebounds?

[Tetsujin]

Kings wisely remembering that Dame Jones cannot defend Sabonis.

 

[SLAB]

Sabonis’ haircut is unacceptable.

Red Velvet

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Keegan finally gets a shot with the starters

 

[joemama]

I hate this offense

What offense?

 

[Tetsujin]

Fox with the nice defense on PatBev.

 

[SLAB]

I’m taking solace in two facts.

It’s the first game of preseason.

I have zero expectations for this season anyways.

Despite that, I’m still falling asleep over here. This stinks. Lakers’ commentary crew isn’t helping matters.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Nice how when we go over the back, we get called for the foul, and when the Lakers go over the back, we get called for the foul. Solid consistency.

 

[Tetsujin]

Harrison finally made a shot.

[Capt. Factorial]

Fox was not worried about Reaves blocking that.

 

[KainLear]

Nice how when we go over the back, we get called for the foul, and when the Lakers go over the back, we get called for the foul. Solid consistency.

Over the back is such a difficult foul to call, a lot of times the refs would only check the name on the jersey to determine who's at fault, you know?

 

[Tetsujin]

Bill and Stu trying to put me to sleep.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings only down 5 despite shooting 2-16 from three. HB is 0-for-4.

 

[Ozymandias]

-Like the way the Kings closed the half

-If they were hitting 3's they'd be even

-Murray needs to start

 

[LoungeLizard]

Meh, it’s preseason. Offense has to be better. Pretty solid effort on D aside from the first few minutes

 

[iowamcnabb]

Solid defense at times. Lakers can’t rebound and we can’t shoot. Keegan doing Keegan things.

 

[White_Chocolate]

Bill and Stu trying to put me to sleep.

Yeah these commentators are horrendous

 

[Tetsujin]

DeAaron with 10/3/1/1/1 with only one TO in the first half.
Keegan with 7/2 off the bench.

Those are pretty much the only two Kings players who haven't been sleepwalking through this game.

 

[SacTownKid]

Kings only down 5 despite shooting 2-16 from three. HB is 0-for-4.

Yeah, from now on, less end to ends in practice and more chemistry/shooting work is in order. They do indeed have that start of preseason practice intense defense tired look on all these shots. Overall, it could have been much worse.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Kings only down 5 despite shooting 2-16 from three. HB is 0-for-4.

Huerter hit the first three of the game for us and then we went 1-16 the rest of the way, with Keegan the only other guy to hit one.

Only way this Kings team sniffs the play in is if Brown turns them into a top 5 defensive team.

Mid-season douchery already huh? If the Kings had played to their potential offensively and hit open shooters and weren't sloppy and uncoordinated with passes and spacing and *gasp* familiarity they would be up 15 right now.

Next to Sabonis, Keegan looks like the best player on the floor for the Kings. He really has that Tim Duncan demeanor, picking his spots and not being rattled. Davion missed him a couple times for wide open corner 3s and Lyles and Holmes also missed him sitting wide open. You cash in on that, that's at least 6 points. At least
