[Game] [VSL Championship] Kings vs Hornets, 7/20/2025 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern (ESPN)

[dude12]

This looks like the team from the first 5 games now

 

[HndsmCelt]

Some of it size, but Isaac Jones really is starting to look like a man amongst boys out there night after night

 

[Tetsujin]

Kon getting a generational whistle in summer league lol

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Well I think that was a foul.

 

[dude12]

crapty foul call on Clifford

 

[The_Jamal]

Why are the Hornets just allowed to shove our guys out of bounds over and over with no call?

 

[kingdivac]

Nice pass ....not

 

[The_Jamal]

Stevens has been horrible. Come on dude

 

[iowamcnabb]

4 point swing with that outlet pass

 

[Tetsujin]

Pasch and Alexander have absolutely no chemistry.

 

[TheMobb]

Stevens has been horrible. Come on dude

Since tipoff mistake after mistake on both ends

 

[The_Jamal]

Moving screen on Kalkbrenner no call. Why does it feel like our bigs get called to the letter of the rule and everyone else's bigs get free run??

 

[iowamcnabb]

Ok good end to the half

 

[Tetsujin]

guys just need to feed IJ and Dev every possession

 

[gunks]

Well, a bit more interesting going into the second half at least!

 

[HndsmCelt]

No, and one? What did Isaac Jones ever do to the Refs?

 

[SacTownKid]

Well, the Kings didn't give up. If the Kings can start hitting shots they'll get back in but the last few games the best offense has been a great defense but that first quarter really put them behind.

 

[kingdivac]

Nice 2Q defense.

 

[The_Jamal]

guys just need to feed IJ and Dev every possession

Not nearly enough touches to the guy who just dropped 36, for sure

 

[joemama]

A total 1 stock for all the starters combined.

 

[SacTownKid]

It's that dang zone. The Hornets definitely looked at game footage. It'll be interesting to see what Mistry does to get Isaac some decent looks at the rim.

 

[Caccia]

The Kings passed up open shot after open shot, settling for worse looks after the pass. All of them need to be more aggressive...and look for Isaac Jones.

 

[SacTownKid]

Just have to keep grinding.

 

[The_Jamal]

The Kings passed up on open shot after open shot, settling for worse looks after the pass. All of them need to be more aggressive...and look for Isaac Jones.

And then when they did finally shoot the open 3, they bricked it.

All things considered, we played 16 awful minutes and 4 very good minutes and are only down 7. Just severely outplayed for most of that half, so there's a real chance to go take this.

 

[Caccia]

Jones after getting the shot to fall: "He hugged me!" and sure enough, the replay shows Kalkenbrenner wrapped his arms around Isaac's torso like they were wrestling. Still no call.

 

[iowamcnabb]

A total 1 stock for all the starters combined.

2 total for both teams (starters) and the Hornets have 1 for the entire team.

 

[iowamcnabb]

#25 has hit the deck more than Ja Morant and JJJ combined

 

[iowamcnabb]

Now get it to 5 by the 4th

 

[The_Jamal]

Jones after getting the shot to fall: "He hugged me!" and sure enough, the replay shows Kalkenbrenner wrapped his arms around Isaac's torso like they were wrestling. Still no call.

Well, we have found out that Kalkbrenner doesn't get called for fouls, which is a pretty big advantage for the Hornets. He should actually have like 4 or 5 right now

 

[Tetsujin]

Maxime has been unplayable.
Slow on everything.
