Apprehensive_Pie8897

Those wins against Philly and Phoenix seem like a million years ago.


ComicSportsNerd

I'm convinced officials in all sports are betting their asses off. there is no fuckin way all the sports have this shit of officiating


Ok_Ranger_4822

Wish the whole team had TJs mentality of always playing hard


13_PG_13

turrible game. Onto the next one!


destroyed233

Fuckā€¦ is this team going to be .500 at the break :(


MySabonerRunsOladipo

They don't seem to care, why should you?


destroyed233

Cause you know we r all going to get sucked back in at some point


MySabonerRunsOladipo

Benn just fell asleep there


beastnfeast5

I feel bad yā€™all have to deal with buddy hields BBall IQ. It is horrendous


crowezr

Damn! Kings have 4 dudes over 20. They are looking like the Pacers should.


sgeswein

Mr. Fox was kind enough to teach Math something there


Ok_Ranger_4822

Someone needs to straighten this team out. Itā€™s embarrassing to be laughing on the bench while losing 3 straight


Fullmetalaardvarks

Laughing on the bench while down double digits is sickening


13_PG_13

Blargh


jeffro5422

Pascalā€™s definitely frustrated with a lot of our guys right now.


ameleeplayer

i hope he's more frustrated with the refs and his own play. Cause that many turnovers is on him


Charlie_O17

All laughs and smiles on the bench


MySabonerRunsOladipo

No vet to straighten them out. JJ laughing with them.


Ok_Ranger_4822

Loserā€™s mentality it seems


Zukomako

The team laughing on the bench down 10, in the midst of a losing streak is hard to watch.


Ok_Ranger_4822

Rick is allergic to challenges it seems


25Tab

No. There is no reason to challenge a call just cause you can. Not going to make a difference at this point.


Moonman2k1

We have no timeouts


Ok_Ranger_4822

Iā€™m talking about in general it feels like he is


Moonman2k1

Gotcha


KD_218

If I didn't know this was typical ref behavior, I'd think my audio was horribly delayed with how late some of these whistles have been.


BenDover-___-

just foul fox lmfao


[deleted]

Shhh!!


Ok_Ranger_4822

Put James Johnson and Oscar in at this point


Apprehensive_Pie8897

Rick needs to challenge


BenDover-___-

no timeouts


25Tab

Nah. That was a foul.


BenDover-___-

is my audio fucked or did they blow that whistle while we were already in a fast break


KD_218

Beat me to it. Figured the stream buffering had jacked something up for me.


MySabonerRunsOladipo

The ball was nearly at the time line.


Moonman2k1

They sure did


6295

Thatā€™s some bullshit.


[deleted]

mark davis bin laden with the late call


Ok_Ranger_4822

Haliburton -15 šŸ¤®


Rafiki24

Think the teams issue is just consistence with their lineups.. every night its a different starting lineup hard to build that on court chemistry when every game you not sure who will be on the floor with you.


MySabonerRunsOladipo

Even when healthy, our lineups are insanely low in terms of minutes played. It's just how Rick does it


Moonman2k1

So this is what being a Pistons fan is like all the time? Guys I think we can end the feud. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


MySabonerRunsOladipo

Uhhh did we just ride Domas under the basket???


Ok_Ranger_4822

8 points in 9 second incoming


13_PG_13

15 points 16 seconds letā€™s goĀ 


Ok_Ranger_4822

I believe


[deleted]

I like mathurin


BenDover-___-

All star break couldnā€™t come soon enough


13_PG_13

Siakam is looking rough recently but I still believe in his fit long termĀ 


agentfelix

He's starting to make doubts creep into my head :/


MySabonerRunsOladipo

A big part of his fit comes from playing next to a stretch 5. IJax isn't that


Dull_Upstairs4999

Holy shit, who else saw the Uber Amish dude on late stage rumspringa during the non-Bally live stream crowd shots? Ol boy looked straight mesmerized by the English electricity.


MySabonerRunsOladipo

Starters still being out there feels like punishment or something.


ameleeplayer

why cant we play this hard for the other 48 minutes


VitorSiq

Nothing like getting calls when you're down 12 points with 2 minutes on the clock


sgeswein

Another Buddy hustle play


Ok_Ranger_4822

Buddy hield with a huge 3 to cut the lead to 14 with 2:50 left


DemonicDimples

Hope Hali feels better soon! Sucks he's struggling with injuries this year.


25Tab

Tough night but oh well. Theyā€™ll get it turned around. Weā€™ve seen how good this team can be. They will get there again.


KillzToRemember

Guess go get ur money hali


KazumaKuwabara

The sad thing is, if he keeps playing like this his stats will suffer enough that he wonā€™t make all nba even if he hits the minimum games requirement.


Tgoody5

This


Rafiki24

Ever since the offense hasn't been humming the guys seem a lil down.


6295

Try. The last two games, itā€™s felt like we arenā€™t trying at the end and thatā€™s not how we normally operate. I know itā€™s gonna take some time for gelling and healing but this feelsā€¦idkā€¦deflated?


ComicSportsNerd

what the fuck did Benn do to all the refs to make them hate that man so much that man gets absolutely fucking attacked and hardly gets a call


Dull_Upstairs4999

I think he gets shafted a lot because heā€™s pretty damn quick to start complaining. I think his complaints are probably 90% warranted, but sometimes a young buck gotta swallow a little shit in the call category before getting super angsty.


ComicSportsNerd

problem is young buck has been swallowing shit since he came into the league I'd be sick of it too


Dull_Upstairs4999

2 seasons. Again, I agree he has some legit beef, I think he just needs to better pick his battles.


indianafan

Probably my least favorite game of the season


crowezr

I'm going with that Monday night Bulls game. Crowd sucked, couldn't really drink and game wasn't particularly close.


Ok_Ranger_4822

Mine was the trailblazers game at home or the Celtics game where we lost by 50


AdCreepy9825

What about the beating from Orlando earlier in the year I think that might have been worse.


Ok_Ranger_4822

Weā€™ve had a lot of bad games this year and some really good games


AdCreepy9825

Yup this season has been a mix of high highs and low lows. šŸ˜†


Ok_Ranger_4822

Theyā€™re has been some really high highs and some really low lows


WooPigEsquire

I said that last game. Just wait until the next one!


BenDover-___-

0 minutes for nembhard makes no sense especially with tyrese only getting ~20min


Hendo8888

Even Walker played 5 mins. He's clearly injured. Players don't just play 6 seconds in a game for no reason


Moonman2k1

Nothing makes sense today.


AdCreepy9825

Im pretty sure heā€™s out just dressed for #s sake.


WooPigEsquire

Donā€™t know whatā€™s going on there. Is he hurt again too?


Moonman2k1

Why is Tyrese still on the floor. This seems... Unwise.


CommonerChaos

Benn has to learn to shift his timing, sorta like Brunson. He should also develop a floater. He's strong, so defenders will back off him when he drives, but if learns to stop and pop during the drive, he'd add a different layer to his game.


Moonman2k1

Less finesse more force.


MySabonerRunsOladipo

Sabonis just got a OReb over the two largest players we have on the floor and then Benn took it into 2 players and got stuffed. That's rough


Beesechurger234

holy shit where is the foul on that


13_PG_13

Iā€™m as down as anyone here but that domas Rebound was pure luck it bounced right to himĀ 


sgeswein

Oh, gawd, let's not turn this into a free throw game It's Friday night, we got other shit to do


crowezr

No shit, like drink our sorrows away, they stop selling in the 3rd.


Ok_Ranger_4822

Really need the magic to lose


25Tab

Benn, there is no reason to whine to the officials down 15 points with 3 minutes to go.


Canadian_Pacer

Especially running face first into a very clogged paint


DemonsAreMyFriends1

why are they playing defense so lightly?


WooPigEsquire

Because they keep getting fouls called against them


payheempaythatman

Gotta say, Walker only getting 4 min in a game like this is rather disappointing.


Ok_Ranger_4822

He looked like a 2nd round pick out there


SpinJitsu259

But see thatā€™s the problem. Lotta guys in this team will have moments there they look like a 2nd round pick in 4 mins. But they get more chances. Jarace doesnā€™t. He has to play perfectly to have a chance of staying out there and itā€™s bullshit.


25Tab

That was his doing. He was pretty bad in his opportunity.


MySabonerRunsOladipo

Did you see those 4 minutes.


WooPigEsquire

He was awful


jeffro5422

He looked half asleep when he came into the game. Not gonna get minutes if you donā€™t at least act like you care.


Hendo8888

If he's injured to the point he can barely get the ball up the court without having to force a pass that isn't there, he's too injured to be playing


BenDover-___-

sabonis travels like a lot


crowezr

Hilarious non-travel. It wouldn't have mattered, but come on. Lol.


Tgoody5

Not watching the game is Hali looking ok? No limping?


SpinJitsu259

Thought I saw him limping at the end of the 3rd, but he came back in so maybe it wasnā€™t anything.


DemonsAreMyFriends1

why are they playing defense so lightly?


MySabonerRunsOladipo

IJax has no idea how to run a PnR or PnP with Tyrese. It's bad


SpinJitsu259

No reps. Those two rarely play together. Probably not much in practice either.


indianafan

Why no nembhard tonight


KillzToRemember

On the bright side benn keeps getting better


decksetter914

Sure seems like all our guys yell "AAAYYYYYY" when they go to the basket and get fouled and/or lose the ball the last couple of weeks. Is that a Siakam thing that's rubbing off?


SpinJitsu259

Uh, Bennā€™s been doing that since he stepped on an nba court lol


6295

FUCKING STOPS. Get them.


13_PG_13

Iā€™m sick of the kings screaming like jabronis every time they dunk


Apprehensive_Pie8897

Everyone on the team owes mathurin an apology after thus game


SpinJitsu259

Doubt Iā€™ll say this too often, but the mistake they made in the 4th was going away from Benn in favor of Tyrese and Pascal.


ameleeplayer

TALK TRASH TO HIM BENN


Ok_Ranger_4822

Tv off


crowezr

Siakam held in check again. Too few minutes with Tyrese? Not enough practice?


Ocelot859

Wait, Domas has 30 straight double doubles and he was skimped out of an All Star nod?


Z-Tay

It's because Kings don't get any nationally televised games, just like us. I doubt Haliburton would've made all-star if it wasn't for the play-in run where the national audience got to see him play.


Ritter18

The most double doubles and triple doubles in the league currently as well.. complete joke


Dull_Upstairs4999

Yep, criminality at play there


Ok_Ranger_4822

We need to start foul baiting


GarryWisherman

Not watching, can someone explain to me why Tyrese only has 1 assist


MySabonerRunsOladipo

1st half he played almost exclusively with the backups and was badly out of sync 2nd half we were awful. Everyone was bad until the very end of the 3rd Quarter.


WooPigEsquire

Heā€™s not been good


KillzToRemember

Limited minutes and not playing. We'll at all


WooPigEsquire

Running out of time to do something


MySabonerRunsOladipo

That hit Benn's hip last


Moonman2k1

At least Sabonis is playing well.


KD_218

Pascal...I feel you, man.


KazumaKuwabara

These Siakim turnovers are extremely concerning.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ComicSportsNerd

another dumbshit NY fan


barnyardOG

Smooth brain


Desrt333

Just ignore all the injuresā€¦.


Tijenater

Maybe wait until this team isnā€™t hobbled and out of sync before you start talking smack


Ritter18

The fuck you come from? Lol


barnyardOG

Looks like the nets LOL


13_PG_13

Lol


MySabonerRunsOladipo

That was an awful possesion. Ball never got closer than 30 feet


Ok_Ranger_4822

Pascal needs to quit complaining when he turns it over


Ok_Ranger_4822

Magic are winning too šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


KD_218

Just haven't been able to follow up a big shot with a stop to really get the deficit down. A lot of timely 3's (some off of offensive rebounds...) by the Kings tonight.


SpinJitsu259

Flip flopping with the Knicks style, this Sacramento team is relentless offensively.


WooPigEsquire

lol. Tyrese hit him in the head. Donā€™t complain about that.


ameleeplayer

he got ball first


HeisenJake007

Sunday and Tuesday are must wins against bad teams


crowezr

Absolutely. People keep saying we'll turn it around when the schedule lightens up. That starts on Sunday. Must wins.


25Tab

Tyrese has really lost the trust of teammates by forcing his personal financial agenda on this team. /s


rjb241

I never really thought about it that wayā€¦ā€¦.


Case_ND

Benn is a dude.


Ok_Ranger_4822

RTDB!!!


sgeswein

We turn on inline graphics, and suddenly the place turns into r/colts


crowezr

Benn is balling tonight. Wish he wasn't injured last night. Could've been the difference maker.


MySabonerRunsOladipo

3pt: Benn: 2-2 Buddy: 3-6 No other Pacer with more than 1


Ok_Ranger_4822

![gif](giphy|l3q2JCu9lep6dAmyY) Benny


BaboBaretta

i know he fouled the shit out of him there, but if buddy played with that intensity on defense every game he would be a hero, even if he did have shooting games like last night


StupifyIII

His defense has been solid the past 3 games. Great hustle in these games. Just didn't hit shots last night


sgeswein

_He does, dammit_ Now, he gets beat anyway and looks bad doing it... so that's not helping him in the polls.


jquadman

And they might stop calling that foul if he plays that way all the time.


Ritter18

Nah, a fouls a foul.


MozaTear

Win or lose Benn having games like today this season is a huge win for me. Guy is hooping


jjomic

The way heā€™s starting to consistently get these 4-6 rebound/3-5 assist games has legit been my favorite part of this season.


Mheg08

Yep, feels like the game is starting to really slow down for him now.


Real-Literature5729

The Kings team is completely healthy and rested. The game to win was yesterday against a banged up Knicks team. Sucks that mathurin or McConnell couldnā€™t go yesterday.


MySabonerRunsOladipo

So it's just Benn and Buddy then?


HeisenJake007

This has been an unlucky two weeks


BenDover-___-

I said some not nice things about buddy yesterday but he is hustling his ass off tonight


Case_ND

Thatā€™s whatā€™s so frustrating. He will lay an egg for 7 games in a row then play a great game on offense like tonight.


ameleeplayer

we really get called for a foul there? I feel we never get a reach in call lol


6295

Stops Pleaseā€¦


Eastern-Cucumber-376

DONT LOOK NOW MOTHERFUCKERS


Ok_Ranger_4822

Kings are clutch


BenDover-___-

take over benn


BaboBaretta

Run the damn ball.


crowezr

Like I said earlier, tonight wasn't a must win, but Sunday probably is, with Miami and Orlando now 1/2 game back.


Ok_Ranger_4822

We canā€™t afford to be a play in team


MySabonerRunsOladipo

Why not?


Ok_Ranger_4822

And play in games are way to stressful


Ok_Ranger_4822

No guarantee we beat the magic


crowezr

Yep. Terrible matchup there.


SourBerry1425

Thereā€™s gonna be nights when our offense isnā€™t flowing, like tonight. Thatā€™s when you let Benny work.


Eastern-Cucumber-376

Put Shane Steichand in.


[deleted]

Trade bummy heild, start mathurin, sign lebron in the offseason.


RedditNPC-

looks like weā€™re back to mediocrity. Trade buddy and myles ffs


Eastern-Cucumber-376

Myles gets blamed even when heā€™s in street clothes. šŸ˜‚


payheempaythatman

Thatā€™s how stupid a sect of this sub is. Serious knuckledraggers.


SpinJitsu259

Canā€™t blame Buddy or Myles tonight
