Game 37: Kings (17-19) vs Heat (17-16)

Oh boy. Think it was a good move putting Doug in there late, but Lyles needed to be more aggressive at the basket. Go in and make the short shot. That way when he catches it next time the corner guy comes to him, leaving Doug wide open from base 3.
Instead he faked no one, looked like a deer in headlights and forced Doug to cut, which is NOT the reason he is out there.

Spo isn't like other coaches, he will stick with it until you beat it.

BUT this starts at the defensive end. Need a spark there.

Why is Doug out there. Good idea to bring him in late in the 3rd, but he's situational.
Go back to the starters. Fire that perimeter D up and turn the tide.

Keon getting us back in this one.

This is probably a loss but Keon is so fun to watch. Not sure why Keegan isn't in over Derozan this quarter. His shooting would help

First time this year Keegan hitting meaningful shots on

BOOGIE IN SHAMBLES FROM KEEGAN AND KEON DOING THAT THANG!

What a dumb ass shot. We deserve to lose. Tf is demar taking a 22ft jump shot

That was bad coaching, or player recognition, or both

We got that rebound with 35 seconds left, clear clear 2 for 1

Eh, I don't mind not going 2 for 1, you'd have to get it up the floor and take a super quick shot within 5 seconds. I don't like Demar dribbling the air out of the ball before pulling up for a long two. Gotta make the defense work.

DeRozan…

Demar killing us right now.

Man, we are due here, with our lousy clutch luck, but ball sometimes don’t lie and it’s been the heats game.. we will see

Need this game winner for the vibes..

Ugh, Monk needs to get that up right when he gets Highsmith on his back. Just took it too deep.

Post #37 » by **codydaze** » Tue Jan 7, 2025 5:41 am

5 more minutes. Lock in and close this out.

What a freaking win!! Demar struggled to end regulation and in that first OT but he came through in 2OT huge! Big plays from Keon and Keegan too, Monk was gassed out there but made some things happen too. Just a great, gutsy win.

Hard fought win!

What a 2nd half by Keegan Murray. I know no one will want to talk about it, and people want to talk about Keon, but he kept Herro to 9 pts in the 2nd half/2OT. What an impressive performance. 14/12 with a +16. Think they missed some stats too, just like last nights offensive boards.
