Take advantage of their misses. Dunn and Batum are not frontline starters.

Good quarter defensively. Got some good shots but didn’t convert.

The third quarter makes me nervous. The Kangz need to stay in the locker room and the KINGS need to win this game.

Gave up a lot of points in transition during that Clippers run.

Yeah, that wasn’t great. Hopefully HCDC can figure out the right way to cover the guys the Clippers are leaking out. Better offensive rebounding contests would help as well.

SOS, we come out flat as a pancake to begin the second half. Just once I’d like to see our guys come out of halftime and play like their hair is on fire.

DDR ISO is trash, dude is not clutch. Move the ball around like a normal possession or give it to Zach, way better shooter

Realistically speaking, the Clips are probs the Kings true rivals. We aren’t on the level of GSW or LAL in historic stature. The Clips, yes. And these games have been consistent slobberknockers between the two teams. They are a similar tiers of teams and fight each other ruthlessly for their respective positions.

When will the defensive scheme change and they stop leaving shooters open in the corner??? JFC, it’s basic defensive principles, especially at the NBA level. Make a freaking adjustment.

These refs are idiots, the Kings would’ve shot it sooner if the clock was running down. You can’t potentially take away a basket when people are playing based on what clock says. There never should’ve been a review for that.

When the ball moves in the flow of the offense and Demar gets a good shot, it’s fine. But when he just stands with the ball for 15 seconds and puts up a tough shot…that’s not good basketball.

That one was terrible. The contact was at the side of the wrist, which doesn’t count as a “high five contest”.

Kings broke down late in the 4th, the ball got sticky which led to bad shots. That’s two bad finishes (Den and LAC) this past week. They really need those games.

Good effort. Not much to do there. This game was lost in the last two minutes of the fourth.

The moment that clock hit 3 seconds, they should’ve thrown the double or triple at Kawhi, he will never be able to pass it. But hindsight is 20-20. Great game, but sheesh, painful. Up 7 late and they choked.
