[Game] Sacramento Kings @ Los Angeles Clippers, 12/12/2023, 7:30pm PST/10:30pm EST

Not a good sequence for Huerter.

 

[Kingz19]

Huerter isn’t even in the game these last 5 or so

and at this rate, Kings aren’t even worth watching if they are on a back to back.

they seem to be uniquely terrible on them. Even when they should be much fresher than the aging Clippers who normally sit their players on back to backs

terrible

 

[gunks]

Huerter man...

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Did they for get to pack the defense for the trip?

 

[ick300]

Huerter is out of the game at the moment ... can not miss all of that ...

 

[Tetsujin]

Coach Brown probably showing a little too much faith in Trey as he gets destroyed by Kawhi for seemingly the 100th possession in a row.

 

[coolhandluke]

Sabonis the only one keeping fighting.

 

[206Fan]

What's the Kings' excuse when the Clippers are also playing a back to back?? Speaks to a lack of preparation and effort. All of these players are in their prime, they should not be fatigued

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Live by the 3, die by the 3

Unfortunately all that were hitting 3s yesterday today are ice cold

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Awful basketball.

 

[Tetsujin]

Mike Brown having to burn a challenge because the refs pointed the wrong way for some reason

 

[hrdboild]

Unfortunately I think this is more about the Clippers' big wings knowing how to draw contact than the Kings forgetting how to play defense. Our guards are getting picked to death up top and everyone else rotating over to stop the ball is grabbing and getting called for it.

I really can't figure it out but it's been a trend this year, not just on back to backs, but just in certain games they will get down early and lose focus. Very weird. Seems mental to me, which is why it's so frustrating.

probably a makeup call for not giving Harden the foul.. could clearly hear that he was hit on the arm in the broadcast lol

 

[Woot!]

Except for Domas they've looked pretty disinterested.

 

[LoungeLizard]

This trash is getting so predictable. SMH

Largely it's what happens when teams are so dependent on 3's. Wild swings both in and out.

 

[206Fan]

Davion might be -5, but he's the only one who played any type of defense since being subbed in. He's been effectively shutting down Harden after he went into a hot spurt

 

[ick300]

Fox, Monk , Huerter , Lyles all are playing much worst then yesterday ...
Lets pray we can keep to 15 at ht and Fox wake up ... Otherwise will be a blow out

 

[coolhandluke]

Keegan defended that well but Kawhi is on another level.

 

[hrdboild]

The Clippers are not world beaters. One big run and we're back in this but first we need to find a way to defend their pick and rolls without fouling or giving up wide open threes.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Wow. Keep shooting threes, great gameplan.

 

[gunks]

Bye bye all, I'm out!

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

This is just disgusting.

 

[HndsmCelt]

My God this is ugly

Fox has been picking it up late in games but he's been slowing down for awhile now. I think carrying the load is wearing him down. Every year it seems like when those 3's tick up for him it's because he's saving energy.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

how does every time I turn my head they are up another 10 points from last time? ugh

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

This team looks horrendous.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Not on a second night of a back to back with travel involved. I wouldn't even play the starters more than 15 mins for the entire game. They will come out per usual and stink up the joint and go down by double digits for the entire game. Maybe the backups will play harder, so give them most of the minutes.

Seems to be our M.O. on a second night of back to backs. I am recording the game in case they win but will not watch it live.

Good move
