Game Thread 03/29: Pacers vs. Kings

Post #1 » by **boomershadow** » Thu Mar 29, 2018 6:34 am

Sacramento offers a roster with impressive young talent, but the group has struggled of late, losing four of its last five games, including two straight at home.

Despite having struggles, the Kings remain one of the most dangerous teams in the league from beyond the arc. Sacramento makes 37.9 percent of its 3-pointers, the second-best rate in the entire league.

For Indiana to come out with a win in the second game of its four-game swing, the Pacers will need to close out 3-point shooters against the youthful Kings.

We need to come out strong and not fall behind early. We can't play down to our opponents like we have been.

Hope we coast to a lead in the first half and can throw in the bench for the second. A man can dream.

would be nice to give Leaf some run and let Booker rest his ankle.

Missed the last couple of games, but I'll definitely be watching this one.

Got to keep pace with the Cavs & 76ers, this is another game we cannot afford to drop.

Game is reportedly delayed due to BLM protestors outside the arena.

Dang, really? The whole Stephon Clark situation is incredibly sad, but I thought Sacramento had said people would still be able to get into the game.

It was Bogdanovic vs Bogdanovic but the Kings Bogdanovic just left with an elbow problem.

Looks like they're trying to get Myles more involved. Hopefully he can get in a rhythm.

How many times are they going to say DeAndre Fox before someone corrects them? Sheesh

REALLY wish they'd show a replay of Thads reverse over the head pass. Good God that was nasty.

I always pronounce it Labisserie as in pâtisserie.

Solid first half. Our starters have been great but our bench has struggled a bit which is why it's a close game.

Myles has played some great defense this half and his passing has also been great. Bojan, Thad and Dipo have also been very good. DC, too. Really, all of our starters have played well.

I always enjoy Darren Collison's "no worries" at the end of every interview.

Really love the player he's turned into at the stage of his career. Has turned into a very savvy vet.

This is a much better Kings team than I watched us play earlier this year.

Watching Oladipo block WCS right at the rim was a thing of beauty.
