Go Kings!
I smell a blowout victory. Oh, wait.
That’s just burnt eggs in my kitchen.
Be right back.
Fuck.

Bad Burkle Bomb…
Can’t say I’m surprised at all.
Damnit!
Kickstarter?
The soccer club proving they have true Kangz potential. This city can’t seem to catch a break
Damn it I’m outta weed and Lawrence Welk isn’t on. What the hell do I do now?
Gotta get the economy rolling in Ca then it will come true.
Time for the starting lineups!
Lol Pistons commentators are calling the Kings on a 9-game skid “dangerous”
One of the few teams worse than the Kings. Buddy and Bags gonna show up for this G-League team!
Love the play calling crew. Anything but butter’.
Is there a reason why Kayte is doing color commentary?
I asked for her.
Technical difficulties at G1C, apparently.
I think she is doing fine. This might actually be a better role for her.
Respectfully disagree. I think sideline is where she’s at her best.
She is offering more than Doug’s parade of catch phrases!
Oh believe me, I’m no fan of Doug either.
I’d love a Jones, Reynolds pairing.
Jones is an ESPN tool
Blows the doors of his awful predecessor.
Gotta love the constant rotation with the TV crew ð
Normally, I drink during games to mask the pain of what I’m watching on the court. Today it’s to mask the pain of what I’m listening to on the broadcast.
Wow the Pistons suck. Tank is taking a break
Broken Tank pistons fixed. Ready to roll
meanwhile, Kings are going all the way this year, baby!!!
Does Loose really need to play Cojo tonight?
No Hali?
Out with sore left calf. More Cojo for us!
Thanks, just got home
I don’t follow the Pistons at all, but looking over that roster I feel sorry for Casey to have to be saddled with a team consisting of Grant and a bunch of junk.
Kings suddenly looking like a good team against the league’s 2nd worst team lol
Let bagley be point guard today.
Looks like a pretty good first quarter. Let’s see if they can sustain it.
Good tackle by Cojo
I decided on beer and videogames after work, forgot the tank was on… and holy crap, they’re winning. Maybe I should resume the videogames?
My Friday night = Watching Cory Joseph duke it out with Saben Lee to see who is the 53rd best PG in the league. Fun!
Lol
Nice dish by Guy there
Our Braveheart yell is starting to fade.
Here come the Pistons
Here comes SloJo
I looked away for a few minutes and it got close! What the heck?
The Kings’ offense is so bad it’s funny.
they should eat a big turkey dinner at halftime.
Buddy taking those Steph Curry/Harden attempts.
Bagley posterized!
It’s becoming a recurring theme for him.
Dennis Smith Jr. Another guy that been struggling…until tonight that is.
This game might keep him out of China.
Serious question..where would Bagley be drafted if it were held again?
6-8?
round?
3rd quarter is big tonight. Lose by 20 or win by 20.
We’re watching ski jumping.
Has Bagley transformed yet?
If you were casting Wizard of Oz, which part would you give Bagley?
That’s it, the scare crow
Wtf was Grant doing there?
Kings can’t handle any physical play.
Bottom feeders battling
That was Bagley’s ugliest play ever! Wow!
Ok, we’ll have to fact check that because there numerous ugly plays we could choose from
Was Bagley just blocked by a guard???
This is the definition of trash basketball
Jeez this is some bad basketball being played by both teams – shot clock violations, air balls, blown layups….Welcome to the Not-So-NBA Finals.
I feel like I’m watching 4th graders.
ðððð
We’ve become the Washington Generals of the NBA
Bagley is falling for the old Jedi mind trick: you will let me have this layup
Buddy has disappeared from the game.
The season
Buddy doesn’t seem to be a scoring threat anymore.
He looks like a 35 year old running back
Why do they continue to run actions for Buddy when he neither dribbles or attacks the rim coming off screens?
Just go stand in the corner.
Cheers to Vlade Divac for putting together this dumpster fire dynasty.
Super Team Just Dumb.
Super Team, just bums
Super Team, just crumbs
Supper Team, just crumbs left
Pistons are in better shape than the Kings in terms of contracts.
They literally have one of the most untradeable contracts in Griffin at 39 mill next season. I can’t see how they don’t have to give assets or take equally bad ones to move that contract. Our worst deal is buddy and he’s way more moveable than griffin.
John Wall getting traded shows anything can happen.
Lol…Buddy bricks a free throw.
Buddy passed up a wide open 3.
Bags with another ole’
There they come. Outhustling our guys, playing with more pep, DSJ confidence sky high, driving straight into the teeth of our “defense”
I appreciate the quotes
It’s “defense 3.0.” Get the other team the ball so you can get it back ASAP.
Sorry, but our defense has no teeth
Marvin with his Enes Kanter defense.
8 man rotations are for coaches who can’t coach 10 players into NBA players.
You’re saying that only half your roster is playable? That’s like doing half your job.
Ole
What the hell is this craptitude? How do you lose to this team?
Buddy was just double-blocked!
Buddy’s completely lost his game, sad really.
Am I nitpicking?
4 Kings around that loose ball and only Cojo falls on it. You wanna win or not?
Already know the answer to that
No you are not nitpicking. Same question.
How has Walton not been fired yet? Is this some kinda new circle of hell?
Bejelica time! Wtf is this? ðððð
Wthell. Bjelica was available and you don’t put him in the rotation?
Walton is throwing darts
HOLY MOLY HAS WALTON THROWN IN THE WHITE TOWEL DOWN 5 WITH AN ENTIRE QUARTER TO GO? WHY IS GUY AND BJELICA IN WITH COJO, BARNES AND NONDESCRIPT 5TH PLAYER?
Mark Jones just called Dequan Jeffries Dequan Jackson and said “Josh at the free throw line, no relation…..”
I don’t listen to Peaches radio show, but isn’t Jones worse at this job?
Walton wants to retire, get paid, and move back to Socal. It’s over.
Luke already got paid. Now he can go back to San Francisco and sit with Steve Kerr
Or go kick it at his mansion in greater L.A.
See you guys. I’m gonna go watch Sesame Street reruns.
Might as well make it an even 10.
Goddamnit Luke sit Fox right this instant!
It’s hard to watch this shit show game after game
Only 2 bench points still. We suck.
Kayte pinning this crap performance on Hali’s absence.
Buddy 3-12
Have always liked Buddy but goddamn.
You are loyal
I’m the dude who’s still willing to throw down with anyone that Andres Nocioni is one of the best international players ever and one of the most underrated NBA bench players ever. Also, Kings fan since 2002 so that’s 19 years of proving loyalty, I guess. And I’m not even from the area, the Philippines is halfway across the globe.
I dig it.
Salamat for your loyalty.
I don’t want the Kings to win at this point.
If it mean Walton gets fired, I’m onboard
They really don’t deserve to win, that’s for sure.
Bjeli making good things happen immediately. Why Walton can’t even give him 10 mins a game is just stupid
Wow Walton going against Monte’s direction. Trying to stay on as tank commander
On a team bereft of offensive IQ and other playmakers besides Fox, I don’t understand not playing him. Even if only to showcase him.
Agree 1000x. And with some of the blowouts in the last 9 games, you could have played him and still gotten the loss (IF we were indeed tanking). It would have been just 10 point losses instead of 20point losses.
RiFoul Holmes
Barnes with the tank free throws. I see you
Let’s go. We can catch Cleveland
Says alot about Buddy that he can’t even execute leading a 3-1 fast break.
He has no confidence in anything other than chucking
Did you see him and Fox hot-potato that crap on the 3-on-1? Should have just thrown it to Bjeli.
Any normal player would drive and drop it off to the other cutting player but Buddy is terrified of the rim these days.
Right? Don’t they drill that crap? We did it in fricking high school
We have 3 players that only care about points, no other stat. 2 are currently on the court.
Jesus. 3 on 1 advantage on the break and they go with a rushed three by Buddy? Are you kidding me?Just give the ball to Bjeli if you dont want to shoot it
We are having a heavyweight fight with the 2nd worst team in the league.
Because we’re actually the worst.
We gotta be the best on something right? even if it is the best at being the worst.
This is hard to watch
Even if the Kings win, this game sucked.
Butter! This game sucked!
BARNES!
Okay HB I forgive you for missing them free throws.
Ugly meaningless win or not, Barnes definitely backed up his post-game comments tonight
Oh gosh I hope we lose from a game winning 3. Haven’t seen one of those in a while
Jones’ excitement is hard to digest.
You would never know up until now that Buddy measured a 40 inch vert during pre-draft
Buddy clutch tip
Naaah
Pistons announcers suck like crazy. Just referred to Sacramento as Dallas as they discussed Barnes’ dunk shot. Now saying over the back foul on Buddy on the tip in.
After hearing MLS in Sacramento is now dead, I didn’t want to see a 10 game losing streak to go on top of that. We can take a 2 day break from the tank.
It’s not dead yet
Omg Luke Walton is so amazing. Ok Jones
Detroit you fckin suck holy shat. How do they have 9 wins?!?! They look like a 4 win team
We look like a 4 win team and have 12.
All it takes is a few off days from opponents
Lol…wtf is this manure?
Pure BS
THE TANK IS ALIVE!
Oscar the grouch
YESS there’s still a chance!!!!!!
Lolololololololololol
Take that you dirty rat
Anyone surprised by the hose job by the refs? Nope? Didn’t think so.
G-League basketball! It’s fantastic!
Omgosh, I’m gonna watch 5 more minutes of this dooky aren’t I?
Watch Buddy foul a shooter for the 4 point play
Doug with the epic combining two phrases…
Nobody said this was going to be a duck walk.
E P I C
better than perp walk?
Bjelica with sneaky play. Dang.
Technically a huge moving screen that wasn’t called.
Oh man, this is torture.
I think this is enough for Vivek to justify Walton keeping his job, unfortunately. Let’s hope we see some personnel changes. A lot of them.
WOOOOOOO!!!
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS MAH FRIENDSSSSS!
That’s…anti-climactic.
Also, does this mean Luke Walton doesn’t get fired after this?
DAMN IT.
Pistons tanked better. Why on earth do they miss on purpose on FTs?
To win. If done right it results in another possession for them. Every team would attempt that in those circumstances.
First time to say this but…TRADE BUDDY. LIKE NOW.
He can’t be traded obviously
The fact that Barnes is still on this team is a questionable call from McNair
Huh… didn’t know the trade deadline already passed.
His damage to the tank could be substantial by then
Your right…rush into it and not get the value for him you want because you might win an extra game or two. The lottery odds are greatly flattened. It’s not as big a difference being 4th or 6th.
Cleveland lives another day. I think the tank can catch them by the break
PIZZA ! PIZZA ! ð
Kings did everything they could to gift wrap the game for the Pistons.
