Da Kings!
Kings legend KH is the house
Keegan has a size advantage on anyone they put on him, but Sac has no interest in getting him the ball.
He passes the ball up any time he needs to break a defender down 1v1. He’s not a shot creator. It’s okay.
I realize it’s a little nit-picky, they’re in control, but will he ever get a better chance to get some reps with the ball? After watching teams come into G1C so many times, and target Huerter again and again, with smaller players, you would think it’s chicken in the bucket. Coby White is even smaller.
He’s being given chances. He’s passing them up. It’s not him.
I am coming to terms that Laravia is my favorite player.
Kings made 12 shots in the first quarter. 11 were 3s.
Solid 1st quarter. Keep the foot on the pedal.
I feel so weird about this team. Like I think they could win a playoff series, but also think they’re bound to lose in the play-in? Maybe a full offseason and training camp together, bring in a guy or two like Tyus Jones, and this team could win 48-50 and finish 4th-6th? I like a lot of these players (not really Lavine tho lol).
I love LaVine, but he passes up good shots for bad constantly.
Exactly, chooses the difficult shot over the obvious easy first one every time.
Carter has gotten in shape and adjusted to NBA pace and is starting to become a problem
Kings are in the “find out” stage of the game right now.
Lavine in 22 min: 3pts, 0/4, 4 asts, 1 reb, 2 TOs. Also the worst defender on the team while he does it.
Coby White getting star calls. Dude needs to get fouled hard and sent a message.
God I hope we can retain Laravia somehow
Carteravia?
These NBA refs are just terrible. Every game is called differently. No calls on contact one quarter, then slight contact in a different quarter is a foul.
Consistently Inconsistent. Yuck.
A smoking turd of a team.

Kevin Huerter revenge game. He got the last laugh tonight. How do we go from up 19 to down 12? Horrible.
A very Kangz 3 games. Beat two top teams and losing by 12 to the 9th seed Bulls. Wildly inconsistent.
Asterisk… Memphis without Jah, Aldama and Pippen.
Cleveland could care less about winning every game now, as they have already clinched the East top seed.
So, I wouldn’t say they are inconsistent. They are a middling play in team.
They would never get past a serious team healthy in the playoffs.
In the regular season. They will benefit from top playoff teams like Boston and Clev taking nights off because of boredom.
Beat teams that are wounded. Beat bad teams on most nights consistently.
This team wouldn’t get past any team in the Top 6. If the other team is at full health.
HUERTER!!! lmao what did Mike Brown do to that man to make him so bad while he was in Sac?
Lavine really kills this offense. Keeps the ball drives into a double team, pressure pass or turnover, or hustled shot that’s not good or consistent. Over and over and over.
Also any net positive on offense he easily is responsible for that many points being scored by the other team with absolutely no help or effort D.
Lavine is easily one of my least favorite players that they have gotten in a while.
Laravia though Jesus that guy doesn’t quit….ever.
Outscored 88-57 after building that 19
pt. lead. At home. To a piss mediocre team.
What an unserious organization. Empty calories.
The LaVine, DDR, Monk trio is dogshit. Literally all the same player and none is very good. SacTown is clowntown
Bench Lavine. Core moving forward should be Carter, Keon, Keegan, Monk, and Domas. Those are your five most important players for the next 5 years. DDR and JV are fine for now. I really hope this team can hang on to Lyles and Laravia next year, too.
I watched the game, Lavine didn’t play…checks box score…oh wait, he did play. He was especially bad tonight. Once Monk got back from injury, Lavine hasn’t been nearly as good.
A Kings team that gives up 73 in 2 qtrs? Never seen this movie before.
Coby White outplayed Demar and Lavine combined.
While Cleveland was kind of a quality win. Kings playing with desperation and purpose. Albeit, Cavs. Have nothing to play for as an 11 game lead in the East.
Bulls are rebuilding, scrappy and things are looking up. ESP, after unloading 2 albatross players.
Future of the Kings. Middling or Worse at least for the next few years.
Few assets, aging team, very very few young prospects. Fun offseason ahead.
We hopefully can get some young assets for Sabonis and Monk when they get traded this summer.
As soon as this season is over standby for the next round of agent leaks for the next wave of guys wanting out.
We just saw some Bulls-Shit.
