I ain’t going first……where’s Gallo?
Late to the game. Stupid work.
Sky Roostah’s gotta work hard for their money, too….
No start for DD after that performance against the Bulls???? ????
I may not watch, Holiday starting is ridiculous.
Gentry is a joke of a coach.
He’s really not. He may not be the ideal coach for the Kings but he is far from a joke
Giannis is not human.
How many shots is Holiday gonna miss before sleepy takes him out.
3 and counting.
Love to see that 15 footer from Domas.
This is an interesting lineup. Very interesting.
Domas-Richaun-HB-Davion-De’Aaron.
Better than the starting line up
Davion for tree!!!!!
Love to see if they can get Richaun his patented push shot.
He’s missed a couple but hopefully that putback off Fox’s missed shot helps to get him going!
Like this pace.
Metu..yes!
Keep Metu in there. Bench guys who aren’t producing, like Holiday, Barnes.
Amen!
Davion to Domas connection for the And1!!!!!
We won…the first quarter!
Love the lineups so far Gentry is using. I just wish we saw Holmes and Sabonis together more often.
No more Justin Holiday, please
Brick city, clang, off the rim.
Mr kill the rally Holiday is back in and missing more shots.
Nice drive and kick to DDV though.
One out of ten isn’t bad
True. I think the main issue is he’s starting.
What a fun rim run by Domas! And Davion found him!
Keep attacking Brook Domas!!!!
The ball movement off this team!!!!!
Mezie blocks!!!!!!!!!!
Really, that was on Giannis!!!
I think he really needs more burn, his athleticism is really good.
Is this really the Kings?
No, it’s Les Royalz.
They just the Undercover Brothers.
Imagine this level of play all year.
It would be amazing for sure.
Hope Foxy Fingers are fine
In the back of my mind I was thinking, “this could be a reason to rest/shelve him for a while.” There is not need to play him hurt especially if it loses a few ping pong balls.
How can they pull him when the 11th spot in the West is calling Vivek’s name?
Ok he’s out. Davion time
I really hope De’Aaron’s hand is okay.
I think they need to pull him out. He keeps grabbing it. No reason to keep playing him.
Yeah, I thought they might. Then he came back in. I’m not terribly concerned, yet.
I’d just hope they check it out properly. I minor fracture can turn into a severe break with one quick swipe.
Me too.
Uh-oh. Quick 13-2 run. Middleton is insane when he’s on.
And it happened in the blink of an eye it seems like.
I was just thinking, he is very much Pippen to Giannis’ Jordan.
Antetokounmpo is spelled very differently than Michael.
To the whole broadcasting team: less is more
A lot less is better !
DDD is a rebounding machine.
I’m not sure if I feel worse for Domas or the wood when he falls.
Good. They pulled Fox. Go get that hand checked out properly.
I see DDV just shot his ill advised 3 of the night. No mas Dante.
Understandably, he’s a bit trigger quick tonight, but he’s always good for some ill advised shots. It’s the price you pay for his energy and style of play.
Wow Davion….wow
I. Love. Davion.
Giannis is not human. That coast to coast was absolutely absurd.
Not according to a dismissive little chap
So that means I’m right. Alright!!!
Who’s going to pick up the slack if Fox can’t return.
This is tonight. Anyone else think it’s weird to have the former failed GM sitting next to the owner to removed him?

It’s happened before this year. And why am I not surprised Brett Favre is courtside.
Empty seat next to Vlade. Where’s Walton?
Finally a play!!!!
Huge 3 by HB.
Portis is dead meat trying to defend Domas in the post.
Trey Lyles has been wonderful tonight.
Really good.
He’s a one man show right now.
Lyles MVP
Love the response after Milwaukee came out and smashed the Kings up a bit. 4 team fouls is quite the good thing, as well.
Trey “One-band man” Lyles!
Khris Middleton is just amazing.
Put Mitchell on Middelton..nobody else can guard him.
Gentry job > Fox hands
I doubt that. I think it was Fox’s choice as Kayte said.
I know jk. But Fox is not helping playing with 1 hand
Nope, this is his worst game in a month.
Kings hanging by a thread.
Nice pass from DD to Domas
Domas’ energy right now is wonderful.
Farve must be in NorCal shooting a commercial with Jerry Rice
Nah, he’s a real
vivek fan.
Said nobody ever
Giannis is crazy amazing
Amazed the Kings are within 6.
Giannis is determined to break every G the Kings have tonight, it feels like. Ay ay ay.
I like the connection between DD and Domas, DD making some nice passes thru traffic in the paint
Would really love to see Holmes get on the floor. But agreed on the DDV Domas connection.
De’Aaron has that hand in a wrap. Surprised he’s not in the locker room. But I can see wanting to support his teammates.
Bucks play really hard and tough basketball, and because they’re the champs they get away with a ton of foul calls.
Tough uphill battle rest of the way. Might as well chalk this one up to the tank.
1 pt tank, or I’ll take buzzer beater winner ????
Davion’s offense has been awesome tonight.
DDV 4 Tree!!!!!
Davion MVP
He definitely a keeper.
The D&D wrecking crew baby!!!!!!
Those Kids got True Grit!!!!
You have to the love the fight in these new Kings.
I know I do!
We have the lead!!!
I love the fight in these new Kings. F..k it we deserve this win. I hate this time of year when I hope for losses for ping pong balls. Just win baby…
Interesting use of the challenge by Gentry. We’ll see if it works.
Two missed calls by the ref’s in consecutive plays.
Refs now reverse tank
Kings playing like a team. Amazing
Holmes with the spark!
Really would love to see Domas come in for Lyles. I’d love to see Holmes go at Giannis for a few minutes with how he’s playing right now.
These refs are blind
With a great game like this, I hope it doesn’t come down to the Ref’s fucking this up.
Don’t worry, it will
DD. Love his game tonight
Dante!!!!!!!
Middleton is a nasty iso player, reminds me of KD
Why are you going under on Jrue De’Aaron? Why?
Fox going brick house
Interesting Barnes only 22 minutes tonight, riding the bench down the stretch.
He’s been in passive mode for a few games now
We have no business trying winning this game
we need ping pong balls
They probably won’t win this one but as always a 1 point loss is a perfect game. Possibly best game of the season
The refs know that and will keep us out of the 11 seed
Fox doesn’t make that one often
What a game. Going toe to toe trading haymakers with the champs.
My favorite game of the year.
Me too
Milwaukee probably has this thing won. But not anywhere as easily as they thought. They earned it.
Oh well, a gallant effort..
Tough loss, but kept the fans interested.
That’s 8 turnovers for De’Aaron tonight. That’s yikes level stuff.
9 turnovers now.
And he was 8 for 23. Just a normal game from him and we win this game.
Yep. Whether that was his hand, he kept playing. Some of it was just ‘fuck, that’s why these guys for Milwaukee won a title.’
I’m not mad at it really. This is what ultra competitive basketball looks like.
Same here..
I think Milwaukee being physical with little penalty for it is what the real cause of De’Aaron’s issues were IMO.
Milwaukee won a title because stars on teams they played against were hurt. They would’ve gotten swept by the nets had Kyrie and Harden not been out
Wow Fox with 4 straight TO. Yikes
Respect the tank
Hope we can see this type of effort next year from the Kings. Bucks needed big games from their big 3 to earn this W.
That’s just what the Kings need, a big 3.
Good effort. +1 for the Tank
Beautiful loss
Probably my favorite game of the year
Philanthropism wins. Go Kings. Fun game. I have an uneasy hope for next year.
Super satisfying game. Our late turnovers and their hot 3 shooting were the difference
When these bloggers try to tell us after less than one season Mitchell projects as a backup guard or someone like Patrick Beverly perhaps the most ridiculous comparison I’ve heard don’t inhale. When they try to tell you Fox and Mitchell can’t play together don’t inhale. We’ve got ourselves a two way player in Mitchell, I just hope Kings management sees it. I wouldn’t mind Fox missing a few games so he gets a better chance to show his stuff.
