Game 10 Thread - Kings (3-6) vs Cavs (8-2)

Post #1 » by **codydaze** » Wed Nov 9, 2022 10:11 pm

Should be a tough game tonight with Cleveland having Garland back in action. Looks like we have a clean injury report for tonight too.

Things I'm looking for tonight:
1. Get going from deep. Cleveland's twin towers should make it difficult for us to score in the paint so we're going to need another hot night from deep.
2. Keegan's bounce back. Some local media have alluded to pretty tough personal issues going on off the court which could explain his recently struggles. Hoping everything is okay with the kid and he can get back to form and can see some important crunch time minutes.
3. Lock down the perimeter. We played decent defense against the Dubs the other night with the exception of Steph Curry doing Steph Curry things and going bananas. Garland and Mitchell are going to be a tough matchup for our guards, we need to find a way to have the other guys beat us.

Last year the CAVS were fun to watch. Haven't watched them yet this season. We need a win.

CAVS getting good looks, we have been lucky so far.

All of a sudden, Sacramento attempts three straight triples, and misses them all.

Well we didn't give up 30

Monk and Lyles playing well tonight. Let's get a full 48 of this play!

The Kings had 50 with 7:45 left in the second quarter. Impressive.

The CAVS came back and the Kings answered to close out the half. Nice!

What a flurry by Keegan Murray!

I'm not sure I like the ball pressure the Kings are giving. We'll see.

Good timeout Brown.

Seemed like we were getting abused on the boards, just checked, even worse than I thought.

CAVS 29 & 9 offensive
Kings 14 & 0 offensive

Lack of interior defense and rebounding is a killer but most fun team to watch we've had in forever.

So, we held them off and closed the first half well.

Can we do the same to wrap up the third?

Yeah there's absolutely zero fear from the opponents of attacking the rim. Hopefully Queta continues to develop into someone we can rely on for some minutes to at least give us some semblance of rim protection.

When Lyles has to make a decision on offense, like not setting a screen or taking an open look he makes me nervous.

blind prophet · Post #19 » by **blind prophet** » Thu Nov 10, 2022 4:54 am

We can't win if they keep getting offensive rebounds.

Love is playing 4d chess on us.
