Said this before but still obvious….this team wants to stay in any sort of playoff race then they absolutely can’t have any one of Fox/Hali/Barnes/Holmes miss any games. Tonight showing why. Struggling vs a depleted Magic team who are on the 2nd game of a B2B
Might be the most pitiful defensive performance of the season which is saying a lot with the shitshow defense we’ve seen this year. This Magic team is missing like half their roster, are 28th in PPG as is, and are on the 2nd night of a B2B. They’re at 80 points 3 minutes into the 3rd quarter.
Kings didn’t respect their opponent tonight. They gave Fox the night off thinking they could steal a game and provide him rest. He could have played if he and the team wanted too. Well, It bite them in the behind.
When I predicted a team would win in double digits…..I definitely wasn’t expecting it to be the Magic. There’s still time, but the Kings better do something quickly.
The defensive pressure that led to winning has been lacking all night. Sure, they have missed Fox but the D has been atrocious. So frustrating to watch this garbage.
Game is over, even though Magic’s lineup is depleted, Vucevic is still an all-star level center. And this Kangz D didn’t help. You just can’t get blown to an 8 or 9 man team without a true PG, with the exception of MCW which I see as a playmaking wing.
The middling vets showed no leadership tonight, Buddy and inconsistent Barnes, but game tomatoe goes to Haliburton, with zero imprint on the game without Fox.
How quickly the air leaks out of the balloon. This game shows that this team is not real, that the high level of play we have seen lately is not sustainable.

Fox and Bagley both out tonight. This could be the Tyrese Haliburton game
Could be the truth to this roster. Can they beat a depleted Magic team without their star?
Excited to see Haliburton get his first start but good god please do not let this mean we see CoJo get more minutes tonight. Play Kyle Guy
No Fox, no Bagley, no problem…go Kings!
Wonder if Bjelica or DaQuan get some run off the bench.
Or Metu, forgot about Metu.
HB needs to come up b ig tonight
The refs are reviewing this?
Flagrant. That’s bullshit.
That’s a flagrant foul? Man this league has gone soft.
You can thank zaza pachulia for that
Tyrese sweet 3
Was that Richaun on the 3?
Just tuned in, why are Fox and Bags out?
sore calf for Bagley and Fox I guess banged his knee in practice. Kings likely playing it safe
Definitely doesn’t sound serious.
Belly is apparently the best player in the league, from the sound of our announcers.
Consider our announcers. Doug and the other guy.
Nice pass by Hali. Threading the needle, Too bad it didn’t turn into a basket
This should be a blowout
Doug doesn’t say I see you enough
Cringy and wearing at best !
Whiteside has this in common with Cuz: neither one of them could jump over a Manhattan phonebook
Not beating any team playing defense like this. 33 point quarter for a depleted Magic team who aren’t even a high scoring team at full health
So many TOs
What a first quarter……What did I miss?
Just the way they draw them up.
Man are we really that bad without fox?
Looks like, doesn’t it?
Who should be guarding Vucevic?
Well if terrence ross can make that kind of three with time on the shot clock we’re screwed
Well I guess I should be glad that I can’t login and watch the game because the NBC Sports app is all screwed up, I’m back east right now!
Getting some love at G1C? From who?
Keep running on this team
Whiteside just tipped the ball into the net for the Magic LOL
And people question his game
Gallo del Cielo likes our chances.
Refs calling bullshit and GR3 losing the ball on a easy fast break
Fox for MVP
Jeeze, can we just have one game where we handily beat an inferior team?
I like to play this little game called let’s wait to see how long it takes Whiteside to re-enter the picture.
I know we’ve talked about this before, but god give me Koz over this bozo.
I think Doug is forgetting which team he’s supposed to be hyping
Nails on a chalkboard
GET TYRESE BACK IN
Shuffling the puppies sounds like something that should be in Urban Dictionary
I missed it. Sounds like Doug
We’re losing. This team isn’t good enough to pull two starters for rest.
robinson is a joke
What did Hali do?
Idk, but there’s a reason “why do refs hate the kings” is in my search history.
Ugh you might wanna double him
I don’t care that Fox and Bagley are out. This game should not be close, much less the Magic leading.
Also Draper is a terrible commentator.
Geez, we’re really that bad without Fox.

Do we have a plan for stopping Vucevic?
Double him get the ball out of his hands and force somebody else to beat us
Hope to tire him out from taking this many shots? Ugh….I got nothing
Vucevic got over 1/3 of the Magic’s total points lmao
Sometimes Walton uses Kyle Guy out of nowhere, today we don’t have Fox and Guy sits all 1st half
The Buddy dribble offense!
Getting killed by MCW this quarter now lol
Ok you can’t sit here at let freaking MCW kill you. What the heck?
Layup line….no interior defense
GR3 is trash and is getting big minutes
Yet another traditional 3rd Kings quarter
Is Jeffries available? Can he get these GR3 minutes
Hey let’s shop Bejelica some more!
This team ain’t shit without fox. The reason we lost last game was cause fox wasn’t his usual 4th quarter fox
This is tough to watch
Don’t take much for the Kangz to rear their head
Glenn Robinson is unplayable
I was hoping Haliburton, Buddy, and Barnes could hold it down.
Might be the most pitiful defensive performance of the season which is saying a lot with the shitshow defense we’ve seen this year. This Magic team is missing like half their roster, are 28th in PPG as is, and are on the 2nd night of a B2B. They’re at 80 points 3 minutes into the 3rd quarter.
Tyrese guarding Vuc one possession and GRIII the next. Great idea.
All right I’ve seen enough Robinson
GR3 sucks
Been the 3rd best player on the Magic tonight after Vucevic/Ross
Thanks for getting those losers off the floor.
What a stellar lineup.
Guy, Cojo, Bejelica, Whiteside, and Jeffries. Lol
I get taking the starters out but can we at least keep Haliburton in to run the offense rather than relying on CoJo
“No.” -Luke Walton
Whiteside bringin it…..shit
I’m gone
I hope this wasn’t a showcase the vets for trade deadline game. Because if it was, that plan failed spectacularly.
Let’s make a playoff run!
Bjelica looks like a shell of his former self
Barkley just said the Kings were “one of hottest teams in the league” on TNT last night. Well, that was fun.
The only thing this game is doing is improving Fox’ all-star case. Losing by 20 to the Magic missing half their roster on the 2nd night of a B2B. Ooph
Didn’t check the score till just now. Holy cow, that’s awful.
Jeffries already doing more in these few minutes than GR3 did all game
Guard Vuc! Jesus!
Whiteside defending him so that explains that
So what happened to Metu?
Whiteside!
A little ray of hope here…
Bjelly is a total pro
Bug man eating down low. Old man game.
Well, down to 9. If they can keep this to single digits heading into the 4th….there’s some hope
Big*
James Ennis now out for the game so the Magic lose another player
Magic on 2nd day of a back to back. 4th quarter. Kings should be running circles around them.
We haven’t won a quarter yet.
Of course CoJo was going to miss that wide open three in a crucial moment
Yeah they aren’t coming back
All the Kings need to do to come back is something they haven’t done all night…play good defense
Lose Alton’s insistence on playing GR3 over Woodward and running cojo out there in front other guards are fireable excuses
Kings haven’t bothered to defend Vuc on that top of the key 3 all game. Just putrid stuff all game from them defensively
No Fox. No chance.
It’s true. Fox is the head of the snake because without him this entire team has its head up its ass.
Knew the would Kangz. That train is never late
If I knew Fox was out I would have had Orlando winning and by double digits smh.
Kings didn’t respect their opponent tonight. They gave Fox the night off thinking they could steal a game and provide him rest. He could have played if he and the team wanted too. Well, It bite them in the behind.
Fox has a knee injury but still yeah the rotations are shit and none of our players can step up big or make good plays.
Kings shooting over 50% and losing by 16. Losing to any team playing defense this badly
Lol this game is over.
Time to bring in the subs and get this shitfest over with
When I predicted a team would win in double digits…..I definitely wasn’t expecting it to be the Magic. There’s still time, but the Kings better do something quickly.

Have the Kings even ever heard of Vucevic? They act like they don’t know who he is.
Jeeze. Come on Buddy.
Where’s Cojo?
Yea let’s wait 45 minutes and 38 points later before we double Vucevic immediately on the catch
If Fox isn’t playing that should be more of a disclaimer than an injury list. Warning: watching this game could cause headaches.
Oh Come on Draper. It’s over.
Oh look Walton’s going to give James some run ð
Vucevic lookin like Kobe
MCW 21 points. That’s extremely embarrassing
Good lord. You just let Vuc dunk on you like a bunch of punks.
Softest team in the league. Can’t wait for OKC, CHARLOTTE, and DETROIT to bully us off the floor
Lol, I knew the Kangz would show up. Trade everyone.
Ok fuck Vuc for that last minute dunk
Woo let’s have some fun in the post-game recap thread!
Hottest takes only!
Watch them beat the Nets and Bucks at full strength. Lol.
The middling vets showed no leadership tonight, Buddy and inconsistent Barnes, but game tomatoe goes to Haliburton, with zero imprint on the game without Fox.
on a positive note, I think DeQuan should take all of the GR3s mins in the future and more.
