The officiating has been beyond awful and extremely slanted, the guys have done an amazing job ignoring it and remaining composed. Just need to keep it up
Kings are really starting to feel like the 44-38 team I thought they could be this season. And they’re coming on faster than i thought they would, too – I didn’t have them getting back to .500 until game 20. Coach Brown has also made a few references to how fast this team is picking up his concepts.
Defense always takes longer, but I do thing they can get their defense I’ve ratings into the middle to high teens, which should be plenty for a successful season.
Ugh. Hopefully. Back soreness is nothing to mess with. Rest him until it’s 100% gone. It’s so easy for minor back soreness to become a major strain, or worse.
It’s just incredible to watch this team continue to move the ball around until they find the highest percentage shot. Not every time of course, but more and more often with every game.
I absolutely adore this kind of basketball. It’s so beautiful to watch.
He has the “yips” and who knows if he can ever snap out of it? What’s so tough about having the yips (I’m assuming) is that it’s self-reinforcing. Once you start thinking about it, it gets worse, because it’s fueled entirely by…. thoughts.
True! There were a few good ones in the Joerger era, but he was doing more with less. This team is FAR more talented, which makes it fun because this is much more sustainable.
This game is gonna be featured on a documentary a decade or two from now about when the Kings broke the drought. Exhibit A when the national media talking heads inevitably say they’re the first ones to know the Kings were good.
Even Barkley said he didn’t get whybAtlanta got rid of him. Sometimes, we have to get lucky in a trade. Kinda like when we got C-Webb. These type of trades can turn our fortunes around.
It’s a great example of how draft picks are overvalued. The Hawks chose a draft pick that cannot ever convey in the top 10 over a player who is/was already as good or better than the vast majority of players drafted outside the top 10.
So much fun (for 3 quarters) to be there with my son. Gotta be the best game I’ve seen in ten years of being a STH. Heard we were one point from tying the franchise record. Would’ve been sweet to see Delly get that last bucket.

What’s this place?
What is Golden 1?
Let’s Go!!!!!!!!!
Nets looked completely overmatched here early on…
I’m rolling with you
They have some guy called KD that’s supposed to be pretty good
True, but Durant plus spare parts isn’t quite at the caliber of Curry plus spare parts.
Kings are almost playing with….swagger….right now? Just need to guard against overconfidence at this point.
Agreed. Kings look like a team that know they’re leagues better than their opponent right now
Strategy so far so good
Yeah it’s very apparent early on. Kings just gotta play their game and not force stuff and have bad turnovers
I like our energy so far tonight
Fo sho.
We match your superstar with our superstar.
Huerter is just so sick
Kings making the Nets look silly, and all TNT is doing is showing Nets highlights. 😂
This team is giving 98-99 team vibes. The start of something good.
I’ve been on that train for awhile now. 😁
Nets really are a truly terrible rebounding team. Kings absolutely dominating them on the boards right now
Domas bullying the Nets
. Looked trapped. He created an amazing amount of space there
How many FT’s does Simmons take tonight? Make?
2 fouls already for Barnes. Wonder if we see some KZ minutes to defend against KD
It’s a game of runs
Kings 3PT shooting off to another slow start
That block looked clean.
Lyles in a funk the last few games
Foxie!!!
Fox for Threeee!
Durant played the whole 12 minutes. They’re going to kill him at this rate.
Meh.
He needs a sprained ankle.
6 point lead but the game doesn’t even feel that close. Hopefully the score will reflect that shortly
Now it is a three point game
They should stop leaving Nets players that wide open for 3 IMO
Good timeout
lyles sucks on/off the floor
What he does off the floor is his business.
I saw what you did there
I hope this was sarcasm I didn’t see, otherwise dont reply if you dont know what im talking about
https://www.deseret.com/2018/4/3/20627163/former-utah-jazz-player-trey-lyles-rips-on-utah-quin-snyder-s-practices
Why’d TNT interview Nets coach at start of 2nd?
These advertisements of made for TV Holiday films that themselves advertise home make over shows are insidious.
Chill with the threes!
It was an open shot.
That’s their identity. They’re built around their shooting. Gotta keep taking them. Thats how they’ll win or lose since their defense isn’t good
metu efficiency constantly bad and this isnt the night for it
Those jump shots are really bad
I cringe every time he shoots a 3
Gotta expand the lead with KD on the bench….
I have a bad feeling about this.
TD bringing some heat
Hopefully the bad TD doesn’t come out tonight.
Great steal
TD takeover
TD is doing the right thing now. We are getting good TD
Incredible stretch by TD here!
So good!!!!
Van Gundy said this is Simmons’ best play this season on both ends of the floor…wut?
Just shows the level he’s been playing at
TD just lit a fire in the Golden One
The officiating has been beyond awful and extremely slanted, the guys have done an amazing job ignoring it and remaining composed. Just need to keep it up
We always play 8v5
LONG DAY WHAT DID I MISS?
HOLY SHIT TD!
My ESPN box score is 2 scores ahead of the game on the floor
My man TD
So there’s a mic on Vaugh as well? What about the Kings?
To the national press, we’re still the Washington Generals and will remain so until we do something of merit over the course of at least one season.
Holy shit, TD is on fire!
Its crazy how much TNT wants the storyline to be “Nets right ship against Kings.”
Yep, it’s clear that they were in no way prepared, or willing to even consider the possibility of this script playing out the way it is.
Van Gundy watching the Nets getting their teeth kicked in:
TD>KD
Have yourself a night Terence Davis!!!
Not a knock against him at all, but absolutely love Kings making this run with Fox on the bench. Huge confidence booster to the rest of the team
Damn, Keegan hurt?
TD is that guy right now.
Murray questionable to return.
Damn, I had to step away for a minute. What happened?
Off Night!
I thought the Kings interior defense was bad but the Nets are another level
And TNT was saying how week they have been protecting the paint. .5 Let’s go!!!!
Back injury? Take the rest of the week off.
What a run
DAMN SON
Claxton gonna have nightmares about Sabonis
Kings ahead by 20
Somebody getting stomped.
Huerter
Someone needs to arrest Monte McNair for Grand Larceny in the case of the red-headed sharpshooter.
Such a good trade!
24 pt lead
Get ready for some more national televised games, gents.
Remember 0-4 we said “I’ve seen enough.”
🙂
You’re not the only one. Guaranteed.
Raising my hand… I was def one. This is much more fun!
can’t wait to hear the halftime crew
They’ll talk about the Nets.
Finish the quarter strong. Don’t let the NEts get this under 20
KD giving the look he made famous in the Nets loss to Boston 1st round
Damn, thats a brutal 3rd foul by Barnes right before half. Need him in the 2nd half to help defend against KD
Teammate should’ve called that out.
That’s okay. We have KZ Okpala – a guy who could be a future defensive player of the year, after all.
(Just poking a little fun at one of Mike Brown’s very few missteps so far this season.)
Fox with 13 minutes. Wow
Jesus is Van Gundy a Nets broadcaster?
Sounded like Moak said there was a tech on Metu?
I’m really enjoying hearing the TNT announcers have absolutely no idea what to do with how this game has unfolded. 😂
Totally 🤣.
Metu got hit with a tech so the Nets getting a FT to open the 3rd
I feel like we’re watching the Nets network.
Kings are really starting to feel like the 44-38 team I thought they could be this season. And they’re coming on faster than i thought they would, too – I didn’t have them getting back to .500 until game 20. Coach Brown has also made a few references to how fast this team is picking up his concepts.
Defense always takes longer, but I do thing they can get their defense I’ve ratings into the middle to high teens, which should be plenty for a successful season.
You said it all I can only give you 1 rec
Lmao TNT crew is so lost on the Kings. Kenny calling TD “Harris”
He meant Tereson Barnes
Kenny Smith repeatedly called TD, “Harris”. Dudes have no idea who’s on the team. 🤣🤣
Sorry I see you already noted this. Apologies for my post.
Poor homework by these fellas.
Man hope Murray is ok… Hope he doesn’t miss any but just a couple games at most
How’d he get hurt?
No clue, never saw anything…just announced he was questionable with back soreness and that the team doesn’t think it’s anything too concerning
Ugh. Hopefully. Back soreness is nothing to mess with. Rest him until it’s 100% gone. It’s so easy for minor back soreness to become a major strain, or worse.
They mentioned “reaching for a steal.”. Really not sure.
Halftime crew knows absolutely nothing about this team it’s embarrassing. Up 19 points at the half and it’s about what the Nets are doing wrong 🙄
This team continuing to grow and forcing them to learn is gonna be so much fun to watch.
Then we’ll hear them talk about how they were “so high on this young group early on…” 🤣
I only projected 36 wins. Can’t hide that
This is what happens when you haven’t been on TNT in four years. Still no excuses though
Ernie had to finally say “What about the Kings, they’re ahead.” Kenny Smith called TD “Harris” three times on the big screen. Geez.
What is the nature of Keegan’s injury, just heard when I tuned into the game.
James Ham tweeted back soreness
Thnx. Gundy said he had back tightness after lunging for a ball, muscular in nature.
I have no idea how TD made that lol
What was that from TD
End of Q3 box score looks nice! Bring it home now!
Wow! Just realized that was actually the end 2Q box score.
TD’s line is insane
It’s like throwing the ball into the ocean at this point
And he’s pairing it with good defense and is making the right passes. Just an absolutely insane game from him
OH THIS IS FUN!
TD really can do no wrong this game wow
It’s just incredible to watch this team continue to move the ball around until they find the highest percentage shot. Not every time of course, but more and more often with every game.
I absolutely adore this kind of basketball. It’s so beautiful to watch.
This ball movement is mind blowing. Beautiful flow, playing with such confience right now
I’m loving this soooooo much!
We are throttling the Nets to a gobsmacked national media crew and I’m savoring every minute of it
It’s not just that they’re winning. Even bad Kings teams had some laughers over the years.
It’s HOW they’re doing it right now.
This is sustainable.
For years…
Can’t believe we got Huerter for the 30th pick in the ’24 NBA Draft
You can tell how amped this team was to be playing on national TV. They are flying all over the place with great energy on both ends
I don’t even know what to say
Neither does the broadcast team. 🤣
They’re clueless I was just speechless
😂
It looks like we’re toying with them. Smack down.
Gorgeous offense. Great passing
This is what having a 30 point lead feels like….
Claxton is Sabonis’ son.
That is an odd way to spell Bitch.
Davion
It’s sad to see how far Simmons fell. Dude was All-NBA. Just a few years ago. He has zero confidence on offense.
He has the “yips” and who knows if he can ever snap out of it? What’s so tough about having the yips (I’m assuming) is that it’s self-reinforcing. Once you start thinking about it, it gets worse, because it’s fueled entirely by…. thoughts.
Huerter picks KD and finds LYles with the transition 3. Goddam!
Time to start resting some guys….
When was the last time you said that? 😂
Right? Is there a mercy rule in the NBA? 🤣
TNT and the lost storyline in this game — “Look upon me ye mighty and despair…”.
Can’t believe TNT aired a live curb stomping
Bomas and Huerter both at +42
Insane
I want to see KD sitting the entire 4th quarter
Time for Commissioner Gordon to warm up The Beam.
… This isn’t even anything super crazy. Just Terrence Davis with the hot hand. It’s BEAUTIFUL
SCORE 150 ON THEM
Done!
Huerter is unstoppable tonight
BELIEVE
Kings spanking the Nets.
Despite the differences in height, age, and skin tone, that toddler looks an awful lot like Kevin Durant.
Kings up by 47 and Fox only has 14 on the night.
There’s a line I never thought I’d type.
KZ playing good defense on KD. Really hope they can find something there with him with continued development on his overall game
I’m so used to us being on the wrong end of these beatings. And this on national TV…
My biggest worry tonight has been Fox actually missing a middy.
Lyles FIGHTING for a ball in a blowout. I love it!!
TD just crusin
4 minutes of camera shots by the tv crew….
I hope Fox sits soon. No injuries, please.
So true. Been thinking that for awhile now.
Does Malik actually have a cut under that bandaid
I think he did initially but it’s long since healed. Now it stays on until they lose.
Let’s get Fox out. Don’t want to risk injury in garbage time
Terrance Davis, oh my! Just unreal.
KD thinking “Why the eff did I leave the Dubs?” I remember when media was predicting multiple titles for the Nets.
Coach Brown still coaching
Guys still playing hard, too. Methinks the two are connected…
You’re absolutely right
WOW! TD3!
This is the best Kings game in several years I think.
True! There were a few good ones in the Joerger era, but he was doing more with less. This team is FAR more talented, which makes it fun because this is much more sustainable.
Delly is in!
Delly will play hard
BANDAID is ON!
Holmes time!
Holmes still a big fan favorite. Huge cheers when he entered
Love to see it!
Richaun sighting!!!!
They really ARE going to score 150, aren’t they?
Getting sloppy now
Malik Monk has got it.
All these fucking guys on TNT can talk about is Brooklyn
So annoying. Going over to Gary Geroud.
This game is gonna be featured on a documentary a decade or two from now about when the Kings broke the drought. Exhibit A when the national media talking heads inevitably say they’re the first ones to know the Kings were good.
did you see Simmons giggling? People wonder why fans turned on him in Philly.
I remember wanting him on the team. Soooo relieved we didn’t.
Huerter is sooooo much better than Simmons.
Even Barkley said he didn’t get whybAtlanta got rid of him. Sometimes, we have to get lucky in a trade. Kinda like when we got C-Webb. These type of trades can turn our fortunes around.
It’s a great example of how draft picks are overvalued. The Hawks chose a draft pick that cannot ever convey in the top 10 over a player who is/was already as good or better than the vast majority of players drafted outside the top 10.
Atlanta was also over the tax line. That was why. If they could have dealt Bogdan Bogdanovic, they keep Huerter.
I don’t think it’s going to hurt them a ton though. Especially if Jalen Johnson or AJ Griffin develops.
Indeed.
Only real bummer is the Keegan injury. Hope it doesn’t cost him more than a game or 2
Good thing is he’s just 22 yrs old, if that was you or me, I’d be worried.
Need a Delly 3 to blow the roof off G1C.
Len…..yeah
HOLMES 3!!!
HOLMES FOR THREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
… this might actually happen. 150?!?
The only guy not to score is Delly
Need TD to get one more bucket for 30
Nobody watching this game after the 3rd quarter unless they’re a Kings fan. I missed this feeling.
Light The Beam.
Gotta get Delly a bucket. And hit 150
Adam Silver is at the G1C!
150…150…150…150…
Charge up that laser thingy! Lol
150!
150 in regulation is insane
Let’s do it.
150 points for the SAcramento Kings and TD with another 3 for
31
Damn, the Kings just let out 16 years of frustration on the Nets. They’ve got to be hurting so bad they need a trip to the ICU after this one.
Fire it up.
Where is it?
Poor Domas voice is gone and he’s doing the post game interview with his voice cracking
Damn, did I just watch the Kings?
I think many have this feeling
Kings put the NBA on notice with Adam Silver and the entire country watching
What a statement!
LIGHT THE BEAM!
TNT showing the Kings lighting the beam!
A lot of talk about the Nuts on TNT. WTF?
Bring on the Pistons and Team Bagley.
Holy phuck! The team scored more points points than there are comments on this thread! (as of 10:52 pm)
Final box score looks good!
Let’s get the recap!
So much fun (for 3 quarters) to be there with my son. Gotta be the best game I’ve seen in ten years of being a STH. Heard we were one point from tying the franchise record. Would’ve been sweet to see Delly get that last bucket.
