[Game] (preseason) Kings @ Raptors in Vancouver, 10/8/2023 5pm Pacific 8pm Eastern

[funkykingston]

Well, I guess the defense is in mid-season form. If we're comparing to last year I mean.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Keegan looks awesome but he needs to take the set 3. He’s had a few he passed up for more open movement threes. I get it, but I think that hesitation has cost him

For real. Who does he think he is, Marine Johannès?

 

[funkykingston]

At least the Niners are steamrolling the Cowboys

Now 14-7.

Why can't we have nice things?!?

 

[SacTownKid]

The Raptors are just simply too huge for this G trio. Of course in this combination they're probably too huge for any team.

 

[MizzouKing]

Duarte feeling the pressure.

 

[joemama]

Duarte looks (just) bad.
Fox's shot looks flat.
We look lost against a team with a new coach.

Need to tame those championship expectations.

 

[SacTownKid]

This Kings lineup is struggling to find someone to make something out of nothing with this lineup. The draw and kick isn't all the effective right now. Keep running the pick and roll.

Also the Kings didn't really do anything on paper to make them a better matchup for these athletic big wing teams. The Kings 3 ball is still the secret sauce and when the flow comes back we know they can shoot themselves into a contest with anyone.

 

[joemama]

One team is passing and playing lile a team. The other is just jacking up 3s.

 

[gunks]

Ok who we tanking for this season??

 

[Caccia]

Who gave Duarte the green light?

 

[SacTownKid]

Well, Scottie might be ready to turn that superstar corner this season. That's Giannis looking stuff right there.

 

[Bfreeman]

Just bad, glad its preseason maybe wake up some of these boys

It’s moments like this I wish a gave a crap about the NFL

One game of preseason is meaningless

 

[Bfreeman]

Looking like no Sasha tonight

 

[pdxKingsFan]

its preseason but after a decent first quarter what the heck happened? was it me turning the game on jinx?

 

[Sluggah]

Fresh blood. But Duarte is still in, so…

 

[joemama]

Who is gonna step up when Fox and Sabonis make 2 field goals?

Nobody

 

[Capt. Factorial]

The Chris Duarte Experience is not what I signed up for

 

[iowamcnabb]

Chris “Thomas Robinson” Duarte tonight.

 

[MizzouKing]

I suspect Coach is just fine with this result… brings everyone back down to Earth and helps them become even more coachable as they prepare for the games that matter.

 

[SacTownKid]

One game of preseason is meaningless

Exactly, but this definitely looks like Brown is going to have to figure something out against the big wing teams since there is even more of them this year. This is just a bigger, more athletic team beasting. The Kings offense is off since they are clearly tired but the defensive issues are purely getting beasted on.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Chris “Thomas Robinson” Duarte tonight.

Except the consequences of Duarte turning out to be lousy would be far, far less dire.

 

[joemama]

Put sasha in j.c.

 

[iowamcnabb]

a humbling preseason game might be just what the doctor ordered coming off last seasons awesome run. Still, give me Sasha!

 

[Bfreeman]

Bro Duarte when you suck that bad try a pass or two.

 

[SacTownKid]

Nice look off pass by Keon after Jones hustling. Jones with that body is much needed right now.

 

[Sluggah]

Sasha!
