Kings vs. Grizzlies Preview! Can the Kings take care of business?

Morgan this is a game you just got to take care of business but why are we as kings supporters and fans a little concerned about this matchup with Memphis because we’ve seen this before and you go what is this what are you talking about teams below 500 and the

Kings taking on some of these teams that aren’t as good in the NBA it’s been tough to see they’re 16- seven against teams below 500 and you think about the home losses they’ve had to the Pistons the Hornets even the Bulls when they were up big they just haven’t handled

Business Harrison Barnes talked about it last week where he was saying how yeah we get up game for games like the Lakers and bucks but can we make sure we have that same approach all the time and against this Memphis team I’m sorry you don’t sleep on them and I know you look

At their injuries and you oh man they’re not very good here’s the number that jumped out to me what they’re 11th in defensive rating with all the injuries they’ve had they’ve had 41 different starting lineups this year yeah 11th in defensive rating Taylor Jenkins teams play hard they don’t give a they

Have one way of playing and that’s what can keep them in games and those are the scariest teams at times right especially at this time of the year but I mean they have the numbers to back it up when you look at their defensive rating you look

At the guys that are Scrappy out there and wanting to play and now Desmond Bane is back as well and he can also be productive on the offensive end so when I look at this King Squad and I look at the way they play against the buck the

Lakers and we go complete games and the way they competed against the Knicks playing more of their physical style than their own game the Kings got to make sure to come out today play with Pace play their game this Grizzlies team in his last and most offensive categories last in offensive rating last

In shooting last in threo percentage okay so you have to make sure they’re not going off the Kings defense against the Knicks and really the last three games been pretty good I was looking at it today they were 20 they had 20 deflections against the Knicks 20

Deflections you know de Fox had six of them that approach that physicality they played with the approach they had like you said against the Bucks Lakers knicks has to be the same approach against Memphis you approach the game that way you’re going to win in Sacramento last

Game they missed a ton of wide open looks 6 for 22 on wide openen threes against the Knicks why were they in the game though they were in the game because they played defense they have to have that same approach tonight so if they’re knock down those open threes

Right less deflating for the sacr Kings but then like you just said being physical on the defensive end especially against a bad offensive team getting your hands in the passing Lads playing it the right way talking communicating to one another the defensive effort I mean how many times we’ve talked about

That all season long and it not being up to par it finally fell up to par the last three games can they do that against one of the worst or not so good teams in the NBA yeah and you play the next three games against teams below 500

Like this is the time where you need to win three in a row but we know that this team could also lose two of three so we know what are we going to see tonight I hope it’s a different Kings team I hope it’s this Kings team we’ve seen the last

Three games at lockon because if they do then the starters going to be chilling in the fourth quarter because they’re on their way to a 20 25 want this you always want no but that that’s the difference when you talk about good teams good teams can squeak by great

Teams will smack a team like Memphis around especially on the home floor get the crowd into it before you hit the road again also Sino one other thing little wish list Keegan Murray I want to get him going in this one he’s not shooting the ball well from three in the

Month of March he’s at 25% same with Kevin herder can they get these guys going they need them down the stretch can they get going but also can Keegan Murray get himself going can he make sure that he’s being more vocal out there taking the ball going aggressive

To the basket getting things done on the offensive and I think for someone like Kevin hder if you want to see those minutes make sure you’re doing what you need to do on the defensive end and what we’ve seen Kevin herder do on the defensive end is just have a high

Defensive IQ right so if all your flaws could be buried maybe in the team defense but you’re doing everything you can leaving it all out there on that end the floor he will see more minutes as well we’ll be on King’s pre and postgame tonight on TV my final scheduled
