I mean, the Clipps are missing their 2 best players. There are no excuses for getting blown out like this.

Yeah, the only downside if the Kings have a slow start to the year and look this disjointed Brown is taking some serious heat for this preseason, lol. Even if it's completely ridiculous considering yes, we know these players aren't treating this like the regular season right now.

And the other players that are capable of winging it are either too new to the team to really try it (Demar), injured (Monk), or friendly Iowans (Keegan).

Game 1 the Kings looked good. It has been DOWNHILL since then. Tonight is inexcusable

The Clips also have like five guys fighting like hell to keep their roster spot from getting taken up by sex offenders.

I mean... we have a fair share of injuries too I supposed. In regular season, we wouldn't have to dip into the 3rd and 4th line up with the Joneses if we have Huerter, Lyles, etc.

I agree we shouldn’t get too out of whack in preseason but it’s hard when you have to dig for a silver lining. Right now I’d say the only consistent positive is Keegan which is huge and the offensive rebounding. Everything else is either consistently bad or equally bad/good. To me that is worrisome.

The hope should be that once DeMar gets acclimated he can help fill gaps, but this team was and still is almost entirely dependent on one De'Aaron Fox when the DHO system isn't clicking.
Are we allowed to call preseason games disgusting?
Maybe an unneeded take, but I don't think Colby, Mason, and Isaac are NBA players. I hope they find their footing in the league eventually though. Colby still has some raw potential, but he's a guy who might need to bounce around the GLeague

given the way we are playing we could use a sex offender or two.

Yea I’m not sure what’s going on but it’s hard to envision everything suddenly coming together against that wolves team come opening night. I’m trying not to think the worst, but they certainly can’t come out flat against them. Good luck if so.
- The bar is in hell.
- I've never held "bias" against a local broadcaster. I don't care if they're a homer, as long as they have the knowledge. Which, to be fair, Azubuike doesn't seem to.

The Kings have good guard depth but that only works when most of the guys aren’t sitting out. Keon getting into immediate foul trouble hasn’t helped because by mid-way through the second quarter, Mike Brown had to resort to playing Keegan at the two because the only guard not tired or injured was Boogie Ellis.

Stop making excuses and call it for what it is. The Kings have talent yet no sense of urgency.
We have no game plan (Brown admitted that?).
The Kings have a week to pull their pants back up cuz as of right now, they dropped the soap in front of Kimbo Slice and he hungry.

Sort of makes those old Portland teams not look so bad with of course the noted exception of Ruben Patterson. It was just a flat out rapist.

True, but the issue is those players didn't stem any tides last year either. They are still system dependent role guys. The system isn't THIS bad though and we all know that. The Kings lack creators and with Fox or Monk out and Domas/DDR playing awful, this team is doomed. Like any team would be. Now, when that Devin Carter dude finally shows up, that might be a different story. He's got serious on and off ball potential.

The T-Wolves, for their part, have not looked particularly hot in preseason either.
I can't believe it's almost midnight and the second half hasn't even started yet. 10:30pm start times are for the birds.

Isaac might be a decent system filler. The Kings are really working him into being a system big and he's looked pretty good so far. It's things you don't always notice but his positioning, spacing, timing, screening, etc. is darn near ready for 9th/10th rotation status already. As for an NBA player in general, eh. It's tough to say but he wouldn't be the first big to be completely style dependent. When a teams play that style, he's got a gig, when not it's up to how he develops.

Waiting for Devin Carter to save us is kind of disgusting.

This team doesn't need Devin to save them haha. Well, hopefully not, lol. He adds another safety valve potentially though. Another player you can see get the ball on a dead stop in the half court and watch him create.
