Do you feel better after the Kings win? What jumped out to you?
The big problem is our shooters are not as sharp this year so far. Last year, keegan and huerter are two of the best shooters in the league. Theyre like splash brothers kings version. Rn they stink thats it. Davion also, i think he is overthinking his shooting mechanics. And also davion's defense is not as great as last year. Its still good though but not great. Good news is kevin and davion step upd in this game. As for keegan, kings fans should seriously pray.
I really don't mind seeing Ellis starting at the point. Let the hard work, pay off. So glad to see Alex having a Game early. Lots of respect for Mo & Deuce LoL Control your composure. Total professionals at work! Great recap. Keep shooting Murray! Don't worry! Only a matter of time, the parlay will hit.
Giddey is a slob wizard
The key pre-game move here was demoting Colby as the backup PG. Colby is great at a lot of things, but not dribbling against pressure. Clever solution – moving Davion back to second unit and starting Ellis. If they had just let Davion as the starter and made Ellis backup PG, they donāt win this.
The Kings top shooters are missing open shots so far this season. That derails the offense and puts the opposing team in transition.
Mo shout out pleaseā¤
This season will not be good for my health…
We shouldnāt have struggled against a Blazers team that is missing 3 starters (Simons, Scoot, Rob Will). Even without Fox it should have been a comfortable win. This team has glaring issues, itās a head scratcher why they didnāt make any significant moves while the rest of the west got better. They should keep going for an OG or Siakam trade. Maybe even DeRozan?
Kudos to you guys for getting through the audio and internet issues. Both can be incredibly frustrating, even ones that you can't control. Great content as always, love the breakdowns.
One thing about Keon Ellis, what an incredible moment for him and his whole family. He has truly earned it and he showed great poise after the first bit of jitters IMO. The offense seemed to flow very well with him on the court and it allowed Davion to thrive in a role he is comfortable with. Obviously, not everything was perfect but if we had been able to hit our open 3s like we know guys can, this really wouldn't have been a close game. So take that with what you may.
Not mad at 3-4 with as bad as our 3pt and free throw shooting has been this year combined with Fox out. Malik should play close to 40 minutes while Fox is out
Kings played hard but sharpe helped us get the dub.
That game was so damn exhausting! I was so relieved when it was over but literally went to bed right after because I couldnāt deal with the ups and downs. Lol!!! We totally needed this win and was glad we were able to push through but I canāt live like this!! Please get out of this slump. Weāre so much better than this! Regardless, still love my Kings! šš£
Davion, Kevin, and Harrison better start playing better. I wouldn't be shocked if these 3 are the 3 traded later on this season
first chapter should have been "Podcast Starts-FOR THE THIRD TIME!" (kidding!)
Biggest things to me: they looked like they wanted it! Huerter in better rhythm, Monk showing he could be 6MOY, Domas returned with a vengeance, other guys doing the little things. Sloppy, hectic, stressful, but it was a WIN.
Also, always have appreciated you both showing vulnerability, that's a quality that sports media could use more of. Y'all rock for sticking it out through the tech issues!
That chase down out of bounds play was huge!
I get the vibe we'll struggle versus OKC, he got to be sharp if we want to win.
Where ever Monk goes i'm a fan of that team
Great show, sorry about the net guys. You're my fav because you don't just slam the Kings when they're doing bad, yet you still analyze how they can get better, good positive vibes!
Ok, let's be real. Without Fox the team is just out of sync. The shooting is not very good and maybe the effort on defense and mental aspect is throwing everything off. Until defense second nature no thinking they are in for a rough ride.
