[Game] Kings @ Pelicans (Play-In Tournament) - 4/19 6:30PM PDT/9:30 PM EDT

[MizzouKing]

Well, we’re going down fighting!

 

[SacTownKid]

Mike Brown took a team of Bron and random YMCA-ers to the NBA Finals. What the hell are we even debating here?

And I think Brown needs to get credit for keeping his locker room together. I mean, Monte flat out dangled some dudes at the deadline and they didn't cave. Kudos to Barnes and Huerter for being pros as well.

 

[thingfish]

Why is Domas slipping out of the way there. Foul!

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I don’t blame Fox for hero ball today . No one was giving him any help.

It’s his overconfidence in his three point shot that has been an issue all season and he has to learn how to use it as a tool not his primary asset.

 

[DesertFox]

Rick Adelman could take role players on other teams and turn them into borderline all stars.

I'm the biggest Adelman fan but that is not remotely true.

 

[NewArena]

This one hurts. Not as bad as i thought it would, but maybe because this game never really felt in reach to me.

He’s a solid coach… but that’s maybe not a good example as they fired him 2 years later

 

[Tetsujin]

To bring out the best in your available players. They can't magically get guys to do things they aren't capable of

[King-Da-Yah]

Of course they have the damn game on at my favorite bar.

im gonna close with this gem. (Since im still bitter AF over the Super Bowl)……

Is it wrong to say we have our very own Kyle Shannahan? 7 years in and he still doesn’t know how to make in game adjustments. Please don’t be that stubborn Mike……

Too soon…but a better analogy doesnt exist…feel better

 

[206Fan]

Don’t know how anyone can think this loss is on Brown when players severely underperform and he doesn’t have the personnel to matchup against the Pelicans

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Yeah, firing MB is too soon. That is not going to happen. If that happens - welcome back the talks about the Kings being Kangz and being a laughing stock from the National media.

 

[Tetsujin]

They fired him because Dan Gilbert though Lebron would stay in Cleveland if they hired Byron Scott for some reason

I think he got fired the next season, no? I could be wrong.

That’s insulting to Kyle… Kyle is miles better than Brown

 

[Tetsujin]

I'm the biggest Adelman fan but that is not remotely true.

I for one fondly remember the days of Nick Anderson, Borderline All-Star.

 

[NewArena]

I’m sure Monte tried different things but didn’t just make trades for the sake of doing so. The Monk injury gave us no real shot IMO, and I’m excited because i think he’ll be back and we will see a lot of different moves this summer.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Ah, yeah, two years later, thanks for the correction.

Bonzi, especially if you include his playoff performance

Yeah, I guess some thought that Edwards, Vezenkov, and Duarte were going to somehow win this game, when the regular rotation couldn't shoot

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Okay you’re on to something. Part of bringing out the best of them is putting together a plan that will help them succeed. Agree? So if a plan doesn’t work 5 times in a row, is it rational to keep doing that same plan?

 

[reptilexcq2]

This game and the constant losing to the Pelicans this season prove this team lacks length and size which we already knew since last year. They matched up well with team like GS, but against team with length...they're just vulnerable. Even if they play great defense, Pelicans length can still shoot over you, so there is always a disadvantage. The Kings need to understand that in order to take it to another level, you have to remove players like Barnes, Mitchell and Huerter in the roster...small size means their defense sucks, they can't shoot over nobody and get blocked...can't outrebound anybody because too damm short. Did you see Mitchell try to rebound over some tall Pelicans dude and got called for a foul? I mean that's one example right there....if he's tall...he wouldn't be fouling but would secure the rebound. Same with Barnes, if he's tall...those drive to the basketball would not have been blocked. The man got blocked like 3 times...it's horrible.

If I were Mike Brown, I would have merely made all my non-Fox players hit their outside shots

 

[BosnianDiehard2.0]

Huge waste of a season. Major changes needed.

 

[NewArena]

Mike Brown isn’t going anywhere. Come on

 

[KF8]

This one hurts. Not as bad as i thought it would, but maybe because this game never really felt in reach to me.

Top 3 painful losses to me were bucks, suns, and celtics. Then the handful of losses to bad teams.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Well done Pelicans. Owned us.

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

On positive. At least the final score doesn't look that bad.

 

[NewArena]

Huge waste of a season. Major changes needed.

I think we’ve had a lot of great development of our young guys so that’s not a waste to me as they continue to build

 

[SacTownKid]

Bonzi, especially if you include his playoff performance

Bonzi was a little better than some rando role guy though but yeah, Adelman adjusted his whole system to fit the RonRon/Bonzi bruise bros tandem. The only reason the Kings were even able to trade for Bonzi is basically because the power of the platoon rotation of 11 players that eventually kills locker rooms and he wanted out.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

okc will mess them up
