I hope this whole “jack up a three” obsession is just a preseason experiment.

We all know it's not, but I fully agree with you. This team shoots far too many threes for how mediocre they've been at actually making them. It's one thing if more than half your shots are threes and you're shooting 40% or more but when you can't hit a damn thing... maybe try something else?

Jordan Miller winning the "Jordan battle" so far.

 

[PorchSurfin]

Ok, we look BAD bad.

 

[Caccia]

Man….Derozen looks out of sorts since the first preseason game.

Looks like he is trying too hard. There is a lot to absorb with a new team in terms of how the plays are run, the defensive strategies, and adjusting to new teammates.

hes doing a great job flopping too

 

[Caccia]

Bring back Terence Davis. He was released a few days ago. He is miles better than Colby Jones.

I’d like to see some local media start holding the coaching staff accountable and asking that question.

Having Harden as a mentor gets you that I assume

Edit-> The last "American born" MVP as it was mentioned just now

 

[PorchSurfin]

Keegan looks great. The rest of the team belongs in Stockton.

 

[TaxMan]

I’m not sure if I have the patience to watch a sloppy game like this in the preseason. Maybe times were better when we couldn’t watch every preseason game.

 

[Double-K]

Has Colby Jones score any non-FT point in the preseason yet?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Yeargh.

 

[gunks]

Am I going to already be turning this game off in disgust?!!

Probably...

 

[Double-K]

I know most of them weren't in the same team last season but currently they are playing like a group of 40-year-old strangers at the Y.

 

[Tetsujin]

Norm Powell just airballed a three so badly that the refs called a foul on the Kings

 

[TaxMan]

I’m out…life is too short

 

[Double-K]

Refs aren't going to turn that back... the league always reward these "veterans" moves.

 

[Tetsujin]

Haven’t seen this ref before but the fact that he couldn’t figure out how to turn on his mic and pointed the wrong way twice doesn’t bode well.

I thought "putting the refs who need more reps" in the Kings games is the mandate... ?

 

[SacTownKid]

I actually think Colby has been playing pretty well on defense. The player I'm just not sure what he is at the NBA level is Mason Jones. I'd swap he and Boogie on that two way if I were Monte.

 

[Tetsujin]

Keon might have actually forgotten how to shoot haha

 

[Double-K]

Moving screen be damned...

 

[Gtronic]

UGLY

 

[Tetsujin]

Keegan randomly deciding to create good shots for others like a star.

 

[Sluggah]

These shooting splits. Why.

 

[HndsmCelt]

We’re not gonna stay this bad right?

 

[Tetsujin]

The Clippers have made more free throws than the Kings have made shots tonight.

 

[Double-K]

I know Mike Brown runs a "make a decision" type of system, but it doesn't look like the team collectively is smart enough to "make a decision" so maybe they need something more "rigid" and "preset".

 

[Tetsujin]

Bones hitting a terrible iso three with 20 seconds in the shot clock immediately after McDermott misses a clean DHO look by ten inches sums up this game perfectly.

 

[PorchSurfin]

We’re not gonna stay this bad right?

We are. Down 22. It's a good thing we are called the Kings because nobody else could royally F up a preseason like we have
