[Game] Sacramento Kings @ Portland Trailblazers, 12/26/2023, 7:00pm PST/10:00pm EST

[Insomniacal Fan]

I am enjoying D3'Aaron Fox this game, but somebody besides Fox and Sabonis needs to get involved in the offense

 

[Tetsujin]

LOL De'Aaron nutmegged Samaki Walker's son.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

We're gonna have to gut this one out in the fourth if we want it. It's there.

 

[hrdboild]

This is ridiculous. Find an actual shot blocker somewhere and camp them in the paint.

 

[iowamcnabb]

That ended about as good as that crappy quarter could have been ended. These first 5 minutes are crucial. Have to close the gap right away and then hope we can get to Clutch Fox

 

[Tetsujin]

De'Aaron's gonna need to play the entire 4th quarter. Kings probably need to ditch getting other guys touches and just spam Fox/Sabonis pick and rolls for the rest of the night.

 

[KF8]

At this rate both fox and sabonis will need to score 40+ each for the kings to have a chance.

A win and 50 for Fox will suffice.

Len would have been nice

We're missing Len big time.

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Was kinda pissed I can’t watch the game since it’s blocked where I live. But seeing we’ve given up 104 pts in 3 quarters, I guess I’m not missing much. Looks like another game where we’re shooting a high volume of 3s at less than 30%. We either shoot high 45%+ or less than 30%, no happy medium

 

[coolhandluke]

Fox keeping this game close. Blazers getting open shots every time. Can't win without stringing together some good defensive possessions.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

I was thinking a fifty cent piece for Fox as well might be what it takes. You can tell he doesn't want to lose this one. I expect beast mode.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Fox keeping this game close. Blazers getting open shots every time. Can't win without stringing together some good defensive possessions.

And that's the key.

 

[Kingz19]

Wide open three..brick

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

We need STOPS!!!

 

[Kingz19]

Kings are committed to not contesting any threes…or layups

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

This many open 3's from the Blazers is ridiculous

 

[BenchMob]

Open threes after open threes for Portland

 

[iowamcnabb]

Who is this stupid Christmas Reath guy! Unreal

 

[coolhandluke]

Always pressure the person having the ball, don't play the pass too early. This defense is maddening.

 

[Sluggah]

fugly.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Who is this stupid Christmas Reath guy! Unreal

Whoever he is, he's got a good looking stroke

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

How many blowout losses is that on the season?

 

[Tetsujin]

Trey hasn't even attempted a shot tonight. What's wrong with him?

 

[Kingz19]

We're missing Len big time.

Mike Brown obviously doesn’t think so Len hasn’t seen the floor.

Though this is trending towards a garbage time so we may see him

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Unbelievable no call on that Fox three there. They give that to Curry 110 times out of 100.

 

[SacTownKid]

How did Fox not get free throws on that foul at the rim? Refs, wake up.

 

[KF8]

when the kings are down big u just have the sense that there won't be any fight left in them to get back in the game. Seems to be the ongoing theme this season compared to last season.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Mike Brown obviously doesn’t think so Len hasn’t seen the floor.

Though this is trending towards a garbage time so we may see him

Isn't he still injured? Or did I miss that he's back... just easing him back in?
