[Game] (Preseason) Trailblazers @ Kings, 10/13/2024 3pm Pacific, 6pm Eastern (League Pass)

[Caccia]

Monk fouls his old teammate, Graham, at the three-point line. Doggone.

 

[iowamcnabb]

All their 3s are short, every player. Have they been practiced into the ground or something? All the turnovers, no offensive rebounding. Has to be fatigue

 

[NiNetNiNe]

Crazy how we can’t make an open three and the other team seems to make every contested three.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

G-Man and Ross starting to get spicy.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Out of timeouts with nine minutes to go.

 

[The_Jamal]

Unacceptable game, but it's preseason. Going 4-0 or 0-4 doesn't matter. Show up like this when the games count, then we'll have issues.

 

[Krunker]

we should pick up the midrange game when our 3's aren't falling

 

[reptilexcq2]

Geez, maybe Huerter is our savior lol to change things up.

 

[reptilexcq2]

The concern isn't the score, it's that the starters didn't play great. Keegan Murray need to be more aggressive in defense I think...when Sabanis is challenging an attacker, someone's got to come and help with the rebound. There is one time, he's just standing and not even try to block when one of the Blazers got an offensive rebound and put back.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

The floss dance is still a thing?

 

[macadocious]

Where's the spot in Sac to get the best lumpia?

No idea, I’d prefer them from a little old grandma. That used to be how I’d get them, lol.

The last time I had any, a shipmate made them.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

This game went downhill at breakneck speed immediately after that failed challenge.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

G-Man isn't really getting spicy, but he's such a consummate professional that this counts as wilding out for him.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

The floss dance is still a thing?

wow I forgot all about that.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Now our 11-15 are better than our starters haha

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Going on a 16-0 run and still being down 17 is diabolical.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Do we have any positives? McLaughlin looked good ( and maybe not a coincidence that the guy who hasn’t been playing was the only fresh one)

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Raise your hand if you had Alex Len leading the team in scoring.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Also they should have played the Filipino on Heritage night especially given the blowout

 

[iowamcnabb]

Also, figure out a way to get Camara. Dudes a dog

 

[dude12]

Deep reserves came in and immediately showed more quickness. As was said probably on page 1 , slow and sloppy. No legs.

 

[TheMobb]

Portland is a sneaky long and athletic team this year. Ayton in the paint, with Grant, Deni and Camara 2-4, Scoot is a tank at PG as well.

 

[Jones2006]

Watching highlights a bit & you see Lyles absence hurting. They kept on running a Len-DeRozan 4/5 frontcourt in the bench minutes and then Ellis-Fox-Monk at 1-2-3 ... Defensively that's a rough lineup. Portland was doing Pick & Rolls consistently, Len was coming over for the block/help and no-one was able to come and rotate to Clingan (w/ good reason given size) ... This is the roster they got though. 1 Forward is out & they have to go small basically ... Not sure what the solution is but call me crazy but I'd like to see experiment with a Sabonis/Len frontcourt at times with Lyles out.

 

[Jc121]

Well they will have a week to rest up after next Thursday.
Get threw the preseason then tighten up the rotation and get back to wha works.
Not going to panic after laying a egg one game.

We have a good team and have players back soon.

Yeah, it's preseason. That said, the team does have certain limitations and now it's up to the coaches to figure out how to balance their offense and defense.

 

[Warhawk]

I've been so busy recently I forgot they played today. Picked up 2 tickets to go check it out! We've also got tickets to go see them play the Blazers the day after Thanksgiving in Portland.

I'm sorry. Hopefully I got my bad game mojo out of the way and we'll win that one in Portland?

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I will be going to that game but no idea if it will be in great seats or just good seats.

 

[See_Hanks]

I really hope we aren't a "good on paper" team which stinks it up all year. Hopefully we fix this because Fox and Sabonis look almost uncomfortable out there. I know it's pre-season but last couple years in pre-season we were beating teams by 30. Now we are losing close games, and a blowout tonight.

last year we were 1-4 in the preseason.
