[Game] Kings vs. Grizzlies - 3/18/2024 - 7PM PST/10PM EST

[SacTownKid]

Another real physical team. Yep, still a problem for the Kings.

 

[Caccia]

Kings are overplaying on defense. No lack of effort, but the result is leaving guys open from deep. At least Sabonis is getting the calls tonight. He played the entire first quarter.

 

[NiNetNiNe]

Our defense is not even bad, they just keep hitting threes still.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Would have thought that that rock fight against the Knicks would have prepared the Kings for this level of physicality.

Would have hoped so, at least.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Looks like we’re going to have another opposing team shoot well above their 3 point average. I’ve seen this movie before SMH

 

[KF8]

that encapsulates the kings season right there... 2 missed freethrows for crumbl cookies only not to get the rebound and at the buzzer 3 for the grizzlies lol

 

[dude12]

Kings need to bring the effort for ****s sake

 

[fansinceday1]

Grizzlies tied for 29th in 3 pt percentage coming into tonight’s game.

 

[SacTownKid]

Grizzlies hitting EVERY three they’re taking right now. Not even particularly bad defense.

True, but the Kings did give them some wide open ones early though. Once a team gets going on easy looks good luck shutting it off. The help down into the paint from the corner did it again per usual. Everything seems to always break down from there.

 

[iowamcnabb]

57 percent from 3 for these dudes. A lot of spray threes too. Can’t have them beat us at our own game. They did this last time too. I think they were 7-10 from 3 in the first in that one

 

[LoungeLizard]

Good start to the quarter lol

 

[Kingz19]

I didn’t even know they checked for that

I’ll take it

 

[TaxMan]

It’s a good HB game!

 

[TheMobb]

I didn’t even know they checked for that

I’ll take it

Was this for the end of quarter 3? Why was it taken off the board?

 

[LoungeLizard]

Len doing work on D

 

[Tetsujin]

Len giving us some great gritty role player minutes right now

 

[Caccia]

Great team hustle for the loose ball and fast break!

 

[TaxMan]

Our D and effort is there. The Memphis 3s will stop falling and we’ll pull away.

 

[The_Jamal]

Great energy from this unit. Playing hard

 

[Elektrik]

Alex Len is having a really nice game.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Everybody fighting for the loose ball. That's more like it!

 

[BenchMob]

Was this for the end of quarter 3? Why was it taken off the board?

Foot on the out of bounds line

 

[fansinceday1]

More playing time for Len!

 

[HndsmCelt]

Big Alex is taking care of business tonight

 

[Kingz19]

Was this for the end of quarter 3? Why was it taken off the board?

He stepped out of bounds.

I knew they checked for time and if he was behind the three point line but I didn’t know they would see they missed a call and decide to reverse it then. Atleast the first time I’ve seen it

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

It's not that it wasn't the right call, it's more that the refs seem to be super arbitrary about when they make that call.

 

[TaxMan]

JJJ flops and falls as much as AD

 

[Tetsujin]

I applaud Adam Silver decision to get the scoring down to a respectable level but these no calls are getting ridiculous

 

[LoungeLizard]

Seems like the refs have decided they don’t want to give JJJ a 3rd foul…because I swear he’s fouled multiple times this quarter with no call

 

[Caccia]

Monk having a rough night from the field. The shots are close, apart from the one block; he should heat up later on.
