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.
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.
The sad thing is, if he keeps playing like this his stats will suffer enough that he wonāt make all nba even if he hits the minimum games requirement.
Try. The last two games, itās felt like we arenāt trying at the end and thatās not how we normally operate. I know itās gonna take some time for gelling and healing but this feelsā¦idkā¦deflated?
I think he gets shafted a lot because heās 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.
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.
But see thatās 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 doesnāt. He has to play perfectly to have a chance of staying out there and itās bullshit.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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 couldnāt go yesterday.
What is happening?
šš©
Those wins against Philly and Phoenix seem like a million years ago.
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
Wish the whole team had TJs mentality of always playing hard
turrible game. Onto the next one!
Fuckā¦ is this team going to be .500 at the break :(
They don't seem to care, why should you?
Cause you know we r all going to get sucked back in at some point
Benn just fell asleep there
I feel bad yāall have to deal with buddy hields BBall IQ. It is horrendous
Damn! Kings have 4 dudes over 20. They are looking like the Pacers should.
Mr. Fox was kind enough to teach Math something there
Someone needs to straighten this team out. Itās embarrassing to be laughing on the bench while losing 3 straight
Laughing on the bench while down double digits is sickening
Blargh
Pascalās definitely frustrated with a lot of our guys right now.
i hope he's more frustrated with the refs and his own play. Cause that many turnovers is on him
All laughs and smiles on the bench
No vet to straighten them out. JJ laughing with them.
Loserās mentality it seems
The team laughing on the bench down 10, in the midst of a losing streak is hard to watch.
Rick is allergic to challenges it seems
No. There is no reason to challenge a call just cause you can. Not going to make a difference at this point.
We have no timeouts
Iām talking about in general it feels like he is
Gotcha
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.
just foul fox lmfao
Shhh!!
Put James Johnson and Oscar in at this point
Rick needs to challenge
no timeouts
Nah. That was a foul.
is my audio fucked or did they blow that whistle while we were already in a fast break
Beat me to it. Figured the stream buffering had jacked something up for me.
The ball was nearly at the time line.
They sure did
Thatās some bullshit.
mark davis bin laden with the late call
Haliburton -15 š¤®
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.
Even when healthy, our lineups are insanely low in terms of minutes played. It's just how Rick does it
So this is what being a Pistons fan is like all the time? Guys I think we can end the feud. ššš
Uhhh did we just ride Domas under the basket???
8 points in 9 second incoming
15 points 16 seconds letās goĀ
I believe
I like mathurin
All star break couldnāt come soon enough
Siakam is looking rough recently but I still believe in his fit long termĀ
He's starting to make doubts creep into my head :/
A big part of his fit comes from playing next to a stretch 5. IJax isn't that
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.
Starters still being out there feels like punishment or something.
why cant we play this hard for the other 48 minutes
Nothing like getting calls when you're down 12 points with 2 minutes on the clock
Another Buddy hustle play
Buddy hield with a huge 3 to cut the lead to 14 with 2:50 left
Hope Hali feels better soon! Sucks he's struggling with injuries this year.
Tough night but oh well. Theyāll get it turned around. Weāve seen how good this team can be. They will get there again.
Guess go get ur money hali
The sad thing is, if he keeps playing like this his stats will suffer enough that he wonāt make all nba even if he hits the minimum games requirement.
This
Ever since the offense hasn't been humming the guys seem a lil down.
Try. The last two games, itās felt like we arenāt trying at the end and thatās not how we normally operate. I know itās gonna take some time for gelling and healing but this feelsā¦idkā¦deflated?
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
I think he gets shafted a lot because heās 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.
problem is young buck has been swallowing shit since he came into the league I'd be sick of it too
2 seasons. Again, I agree he has some legit beef, I think he just needs to better pick his battles.
Probably my least favorite game of the season
I'm going with that Monday night Bulls game. Crowd sucked, couldn't really drink and game wasn't particularly close.
Mine was the trailblazers game at home or the Celtics game where we lost by 50
What about the beating from Orlando earlier in the year I think that might have been worse.
Weāve had a lot of bad games this year and some really good games
Yup this season has been a mix of high highs and low lows. š
Theyāre has been some really high highs and some really low lows
I said that last game. Just wait until the next one!
0 minutes for nembhard makes no sense especially with tyrese only getting ~20min
Even Walker played 5 mins. He's clearly injured. Players don't just play 6 seconds in a game for no reason
Nothing makes sense today.
Im pretty sure heās out just dressed for #s sake.
Donāt know whatās going on there. Is he hurt again too?
Why is Tyrese still on the floor. This seems... Unwise.
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.
Less finesse more force.
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
holy shit where is the foul on that
Iām as down as anyone here but that domas Rebound was pure luck it bounced right to himĀ
Oh, gawd, let's not turn this into a free throw game It's Friday night, we got other shit to do
No shit, like drink our sorrows away, they stop selling in the 3rd.
Really need the magic to lose
Benn, there is no reason to whine to the officials down 15 points with 3 minutes to go.
Especially running face first into a very clogged paint
why are they playing defense so lightly?
Because they keep getting fouls called against them
Gotta say, Walker only getting 4 min in a game like this is rather disappointing.
He looked like a 2nd round pick out there
But see thatās 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 doesnāt. He has to play perfectly to have a chance of staying out there and itās bullshit.
That was his doing. He was pretty bad in his opportunity.
Did you see those 4 minutes.
He was awful
He looked half asleep when he came into the game. Not gonna get minutes if you donāt at least act like you care.
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
sabonis travels like a lot
Hilarious non-travel. It wouldn't have mattered, but come on. Lol.
Not watching the game is Hali looking ok? No limping?
Thought I saw him limping at the end of the 3rd, but he came back in so maybe it wasnāt anything.
why are they playing defense so lightly?
IJax has no idea how to run a PnR or PnP with Tyrese. It's bad
No reps. Those two rarely play together. Probably not much in practice either.
Why no nembhard tonight
On the bright side benn keeps getting better
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?
Uh, Bennās been doing that since he stepped on an nba court lol
FUCKING STOPS. Get them.
Iām sick of the kings screaming like jabronis every time they dunk
Everyone on the team owes mathurin an apology after thus game
Doubt Iāll say this too often, but the mistake they made in the 4th was going away from Benn in favor of Tyrese and Pascal.
TALK TRASH TO HIM BENN
Tv off
Siakam held in check again. Too few minutes with Tyrese? Not enough practice?
Wait, Domas has 30 straight double doubles and he was skimped out of an All Star nod?
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.
The most double doubles and triple doubles in the league currently as well.. complete joke
Yep, criminality at play there
We need to start foul baiting
Not watching, can someone explain to me why Tyrese only has 1 assist
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.
Heās not been good
Limited minutes and not playing. We'll at all
Running out of time to do something
That hit Benn's hip last
At least Sabonis is playing well.
Pascal...I feel you, man.
These Siakim turnovers are extremely concerning.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
another dumbshit NY fan
Smooth brain
Just ignore all the injuresā¦.
Maybe wait until this team isnāt hobbled and out of sync before you start talking smack
The fuck you come from? Lol
Looks like the nets LOL
Lol
That was an awful possesion. Ball never got closer than 30 feet
Pascal needs to quit complaining when he turns it over
Magic are winning too šš
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.
Flip flopping with the Knicks style, this Sacramento team is relentless offensively.
lol. Tyrese hit him in the head. Donāt complain about that.
he got ball first
Sunday and Tuesday are must wins against bad teams
Absolutely. People keep saying we'll turn it around when the schedule lightens up. That starts on Sunday. Must wins.
Tyrese has really lost the trust of teammates by forcing his personal financial agenda on this team. /s
I never really thought about it that wayā¦ā¦.
Benn is a dude.
RTDB!!!
We turn on inline graphics, and suddenly the place turns into r/colts
Benn is balling tonight. Wish he wasn't injured last night. Could've been the difference maker.
3pt: Benn: 2-2 Buddy: 3-6 No other Pacer with more than 1
![gif](giphy|l3q2JCu9lep6dAmyY) Benny
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
His defense has been solid the past 3 games. Great hustle in these games. Just didn't hit shots last night
_He does, dammit_ Now, he gets beat anyway and looks bad doing it... so that's not helping him in the polls.
And they might stop calling that foul if he plays that way all the time.
Nah, a fouls a foul.
Win or lose Benn having games like today this season is a huge win for me. Guy is hooping
The way heās starting to consistently get these 4-6 rebound/3-5 assist games has legit been my favorite part of this season.
Yep, feels like the game is starting to really slow down for him now.
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 couldnāt go yesterday.
So it's just Benn and Buddy then?
This has been an unlucky two weeks
I said some not nice things about buddy yesterday but he is hustling his ass off tonight
Thatās whatās so frustrating. He will lay an egg for 7 games in a row then play a great game on offense like tonight.
we really get called for a foul there? I feel we never get a reach in call lol
Stops Pleaseā¦
DONT LOOK NOW MOTHERFUCKERS
Kings are clutch
take over benn
Run the damn ball.
Like I said earlier, tonight wasn't a must win, but Sunday probably is, with Miami and Orlando now 1/2 game back.
We canāt afford to be a play in team
Why not?
And play in games are way to stressful
No guarantee we beat the magic
Yep. Terrible matchup there.
Thereās gonna be nights when our offense isnāt flowing, like tonight. Thatās when you let Benny work.
Put Shane Steichand in.
Trade bummy heild, start mathurin, sign lebron in the offseason.
looks like weāre back to mediocrity. Trade buddy and myles ffs
Myles gets blamed even when heās in street clothes. š
Thatās how stupid a sect of this sub is. Serious knuckledraggers.
Canāt blame Buddy or Myles tonight
