[Game] (Preseason) Sacramento Kings at Utah Jazz, 10/15/2024 6pm Pacific, 9pm Eastern (League Pass)

Good for Monk to get this stinker out now. Sheesh

 

[NewArena]

How in the world is Huerter, DeRozan, and Domas going to fly? Maybe some of this is preseason fatigue but they better be all world on offense.

I think it's just impossible to care as much in preseason. But, practice makes perfect so they need better habits now.

 

[iowamcnabb]

These guys are cocky, shut em up

 

[206Fan]

I fear that our defense is gonna suck again this year

 

[Double-K]

These punk kids attacking Domas with 5 fouls and flexing and you can't even hate on them cause it's the right play LOL

 

[Double-K]

At this point, I might be okay to trade our record-breaking offensive for some real defense. After so many years, I might be okay to trade everything and my firstborn son in exchange for the Kings not letting opposing teams score 100+.

 

[TaxMan]

Well, at this point I really see no dropoff from Davion to McLaughlin. Good pickup.

I'm talking defensively. DeRozan is in that help into the paint role, but he's just there. Not capable of much on that end. Maybe the size can be worked on, but with this scheme, oof. Teams are going to just keep attacking this way if they're smart.

 

[Tetsujin]

Lol Malik just getting some light cardio in tonight.

Well at least for DDR, it wasn't much of a drop off as we had Barnes before. It's not like we were expecting DDR to come and make our defense better.

 

[Double-K]

that turnover aside, I'm liking the Jazz collapsing for DDR leaving Keegan, Fox and Monk wide open...

 

[Sluggah]

Didn’t realize Keon fouled out. That explains things.

 

[NewArena]

Yea we gotta build the chemistry. Good for them to get this out of the way now and learn each other properly

Shots are there every single time. Just have to hit em

 

[Double-K]

I mean look at that... when was the last time our guys were THAT wide open in these 4th quarter scenarios?

 

[NewArena]

Ah, this is the officiating i'm used to lol

 

[Double-K]

Yeah once they got enough reps, once those wide open shots starting to get in... there might be hope yet for this team LOL

 

[The_Jamal]

Fox, Monk 3-15 from 3, Monk may as well had taken the night off and Foxy still has a shot to go tie this up lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Let’s miss these free throws and go home. No one needs to see overtime in the preseason

 

[206Fan]

Keegan shouldn't be passing up a wide open 3 to tie the game

 

[Double-K]

Fox one-on-one with no help, no one willing to sag off DDR and Keegan...

Yeah there's hope yet.

 

[Krunker]

We passed up two open threes at the end for that prayer

 

[Caccia]

At least Malik can still jump. His knee seems to be fully healed in time for the season.

 

[SacTownKid]

Is this an avenge your GM game? Those Monte/Ainge talks must have ended poorly. Both teams playing way too hard lol.

Keegan's got to pull that in stride. Hesitated a second and lost the space

 

[SacTownKid]

It's not much and while the actual issue is scheme, Barnes was almost always in the right spot. DeRozan has kind of just hovered on defense for a few years now. That can take a team from 25th to 30th in a hurry. As long as the offense comes back and Keon, Keegan, and Carter eventually do their thing they should still be much better overall still.

 

[Double-K]

The refs should just say the quiet part out loud next time...

"After review, we realized it is the Kings that were trying to get the call. Therefore even though a foul has occurred, it clearly was before any shooting motions."

 

[The_Jamal]

Wait why aren't we shooting FT's? I have it muted

 

[SacTownKid]

Can't believe they just let Fox square up like that and not foul.
