Might be time to replace Huerter with Duarte in the starting unit. Duarte’s defense and energy at the beginning of the game would be helpful.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Start Lyles already

 

[Kingz19]

Kings getting destroyed on the glass

 

[KF8]

Can't stop dribble penetration and being outrebounded are killing the kings.

 

[Tetsujin]

This bench stretch would feel much more impressive if they weren't having to work out of a twenty point hole because our entire starting unit forgot how to play basketball at the same time.

 

[dude12]

Nice job getting the game into a manageable score. Now figure out some stops

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Alright so let's start realistically talking about what this team needs to get to the next level. I'm talking pieces, scheme changes, anything.

I feel like 30 games is enough to see if we were going to be able to take the next step with this roster. And look, I know we're hovering right around .600, but the eye test tells a much bigger story.

Let's hear it.

 

[Kingz19]

Is Keon injured?

 

[Kingz19]

Ugh, the refs probably do the Kings a favor by not putting them on the line

 

[Kingz19]

You gotta hit that Keegan. Come on

Trade huerter. He gives u nothing else if shots aren't going which makes him unplayable. Barnes still does the little things, but not as bad as huerter. He could be another possible piece to upgrade but not as high a priority as huerter.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Murray has to hit 60%+ of those wide open angle threes.

 

[KF8]

Kings couldn't stay infront of anyone... hawks are getting to the rim as slow as a turtle.

Monte should swing high first, then settle on some dinged and dented starpower like he did with Beal. After that, 3 and D types to round it out. The Kings core is already there pretty much, just need to add some sizzle.

 

[KF8]

The kings are too reactive to fakes and hessies which allow players to blow by so easy. Stop biting!

 

[SLAB]

oof, that’s disheartening to see Monk get hurt. I hope they don’t fall back down by 20 in the wake.

Also, that’s why you never ever shoot Davion.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

You often hear opposing announces say the three ball is a huge part of our offense. But it's really not. We're an average three point shooting team and we take a slightly above average amount.

We're an average three point shooting team that relies on it as if we were a good three point shooting team.

Don't we shoot the 3rd or 4th most 3 in th league though?> Sure feels like we shoot 40 of them even when we're missing

 

[SacTownKid]

Yeah, is Ellis hurt or something? Strange that Davion would get the nod.

I stand corrected. I feel like my point still has some merit... we're too reliant on the three ball. Surprisingly one dimensional.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Brown does this, oddly. I wouldn't be surprised to see Mitchell back in the rotation, ahead of Ellis, for a few games

 

[Kingz19]

What the hell is Monk doing

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

It couldn't hurt to just try a straight up man to man defense at this point. This other stuff is awful

 

[pdxKingsFan]

What the hell is Monk doing

playing through pain

 

[Kingz19]

All that work to completely fall apart again In just a couple of minutes

Fox has been awful.

And of course..as usual..two full starters have been utterly useless.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

so we definitely suck again? wth is this

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

I feel like Heurter and Barnes are already being considered for a trade... my saucy senses are telling me.

One would think it might be showcasing. It's that time of the year you know haha.

It appears so. Let's talk trades!

 

[dude12]

Terrible
