Kings @ Suns Saturday game thread 3-11-2023

[Phrazbit]

The NBA. The only league where you can’t actually play defense.

And no doubt that will reverse in the playoffs.

Refs are going to switch from not letting players breathe on each other to staring at a rugby match.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Ayton offensive board and put back - then called for foul on other end

 

[BirdGangThing]

What I've noticed is the Kings are really good at collapsing interior defenses then kicking it out for the three/drive

 

[BirdGangThing]

Whistle definitely going one way in the first half

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns not having depth at forward is a problem.

 

[Chaplin]

Suns not having depth at forward is a problem.

What are you talking about? We have depth at forward, they’re just not hitting shots.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Yeah! D-book giving Sactown a little of their own medicine - sliding across the floor

 

[BirdGangThing]

Kings are three-lentless, seems like they're knocking them all down from afar

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Kings 67 - Suns 59

 

[BirdGangThing]

YEAH EDWARDS LIL PUNK BEEHATCH

 

[BirdGangThing]

Bally's feed is literally a out 40 seconds behind whatever stream y'all watching

 

[Phrazbit]

Ross might be able to score but he's been a horror show defensively. Rotate... move... close out... don't just watch...

-18 for him tonight, no one else is even close.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Perhaps a little Bazley in the second half?? Maybe some Biz??

Concur

Kept it under 10 they have a shot

If I am Monty, Mazley ain't seeing the court in a competitive game for a while.

Ross is inactive on defense, Bazley is completely clueless, dude looks like one of the 3 stooges out there, setting screens for the wrong team in the OKC game... maybe the uniforms threw him through a loop.

Refs make a lot of calls on reputation. Ayton has the bad habits to jump into air too early, he made effort to avoid it early but maybe with fatique got faked into air late by Sabonis. Monty is trying different lineups, in preparation for playoffs. Kings bench and rotations are much better and run smoother than ours. Hope we find a way to come back.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Hey how do I switch the little bio thing under my screen name?

[Mainstreet]

Paul didn't hesitate on that three.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Refs start out continuing to call booshit fouls on the Suns

 

[BirdGangThing]

CP 3 in the corner

 

[Mainstreet]

Kings take the ball inside relentlessly.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Craig and Ayton bickering over who was supposed to be there on defense

 

[BirdGangThing]

Kings take the ball inside relentlessly.

It's so effective

 

[Mainstreet]

Craig gets first points on a put back.
