Go Kings!
I’m also getting tired of Tyrese’s 4-6 point outputs. If he’s supposed to be a serious player going forward it’s time to put up mans individual offense
It also speaks to the fact. This team has no dogs. Hali is a nice guy. Alpha Dog he’s not.
The last player that really had the dog in him? Artest when he was here. A century ago.
Their is Zero Mental toughness on this team.
That includes Fox.
I look at other guards that are compared to Fox: Mitchell, Trey, Morant, etc.’
Fox may be putting up better stats. But, these guys are just next level when it comes to
Winning and having that killer mentality.
Three in a row? Should win this one
Well this is fun.
This is going to be a stinker
What a bunch of garbage.
Awful basketball
God Buddys defense is turrible
Hield always is good for some of the dumbest turnovers imaginable every game
Lol at least it was the first quarter. Still early so he could make another dumb play later. Dribble off his foot is automatic.
LOL the Philly commentators are talking so much trash.
Much rather hear that then the absolute crap Kings announcer and sycophants. .
I don’t want to hear about them being tired. They are young men! Just playing like crap first quarter.
Whiteside and Cojo in. Oh boy.
It looks like Space Jam, alliens robbed our players’ talents
Is Kayte going to return to her “it’s been a strange season because of Covid” postgame commentary?
Or what Kings fans don’t understand how exhausting back to back games are.
Or maybe how much the Kings are thin due to Bagley injury !
I love the regular comments from our announcers excusing the constant soft fouls called. If the league favors minimal contact for a foul, our players should adjust how they play.
I listen to opposing team every time. Sac announcers and Co have dropped to worst in league. Not even fun or funny.
Cojo can’t make a freaking layup?
The Kings do realize their playing against just 2 NBA starters on a team without an active PG, right?
OMG Whiteside
We are missing lay ups
If people need a break from this, it’s a good time to get a look at another of my favorite draft sleepers, Jason Preston of Ohio.
Veteran Leadership going for the pump fake.
CoJo with a rookie foul…sheez!
Kings just gave up 42 points in a quarter to a team that has only 2 active players that average double digits in PPG.
Should have been 50. We still have the 3rd quarter.
It’s absolute idiocy and a bummer Vivek thinks this team doesn’t need a reset.
CoJo is here for his defense!
*proceeds to bite on a pump fake 3 with 1 second left on the shot clock*
Then, dribble dribble dribble dribble miss.
Walton never has held players accountable.
Buddy’s going to hit a bunch of threes in this blowout. When it doesn’t matter.
He’s auditioning for Morey.
I normally don’t comment about how players look but wtf is up with Howard’s hair?
Reminds me of Brad Miller’s Cornrows. 😉
Lol.
Maybe Fox is a superstar after all – he’s got the “argue with the refs instead of getting back on defense” thing down.
That’s called a DeMarcus when you do that.
What does it mean when MarK Jones says “put him in the friend’s zone?” I honestly don’t know what that means.
For reference he just said it when Whiteside blocked a shot. I’m so confused.
She don’t like him like that
Ahh..so just an exaggeration on a rejection?
“Friend zone” means you didn’t score. Not my favorite of his many cliches.
Like when a guy likes a girl but the girl only like him as a friend
Why is CoJo initiating the offense so much with Haliburton on the court?
I fear Haliburton is not healthy/or going to be. He’s got a limp in his gate. Short/off on shots. Suddenly never in passing lane or playing good D, which he does.
The fear being the Kings are unwatchable without (healthy) Haliburton
Buddy with 6 threes in a half. Damn.
PAIGING DARYL MOREY. ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION!?
Color me jaded, but I’m glad they’re getting put back on earth tonight to stop the temporary daydream. This is not a competent team, even when our offensive ranking is strong. Philly missing their MVP and still getting blown out should be a sign to do the right thing before the trade deadline, although I’d still like to avoid the shuffling of the deck chairs. I think I’d only be disappointed if no trades of substance happen or we trade a chip for a couple journeymen similar to the Vlade days.
I’d like to see this team get a chance to play under a different coach.
I’m not sure it stops the daydream, as long as they are within hailing distance of the play-in.
Not as long as that fuck Vivek is running the show.
I like to listening to the opposing teams announcers sometimes and I must say I really like the 76’ers announcers. Knowledgeable and entertaining.
Yes I like the opposing takes. They brought up a good point about Richaun Holmes’ league high fg percentage being a byproduct of getting fed by Fox (honestly all of our guards plus Barnes in reality, so I personally would say our system puts him in a position to succeed). I wonder if our front office sees it that way also and what affect that would have on us retaining him.
I never listen to Kings anymore. Horrible. Ridiculous Kings lenses.
. .
I feel like mark jones is always trying to set up a big call, and I don’t notice that with other play by play guys. Like yesterday, “de’aaron pulls up from 3, we all know what he can do from there!” Fox proceeds to brick. Maybe it’s just the AV lag that makes it seem like they are just not feeling the momentum quite right. Another thing was just the general lack of NBA awareness, like saying the king’s should target the payton pritchard matchup on offense as he is a weak defender. Pritchard’s not been a weak defender this year. He later said barnes has a mismatch with Marcus smart, who I cannot think of that many players 1-5 that would have a mismatch with smart.
Dwight Howard is beyond washed
Whiteside: “Hold my beer.”
Because I’m too old, slow and tired to hold it myself!
Truth. I’m not sure he even breaks a sweat anymore.
I certainly hope metu is getting those minutes post all star break
I could never stand Whiteside.
Only reason he ever picked up a ball was to get paid.
Nothing Else. He’s always put up empty stats.
“He got him right there”. Doug just straight up making shit up now. There was no foul there.
This is ridiculous.
Almost down 40 amd this ownership thinks their close. Or that the coach is good. Give me a break.
They’re
It’s the kind of shit that gets coaches fired, but this is Sac
Maybe Loose will empty the bench when there’s 2 minutes left.
So our all star starting five got trounced by a depleted Philly squad. Have we no seen enough?
But Covid and injuries and….
This game might tell us more about Boston than Philly.
Solid observation.
This game shows that if Fox has a bad game, this team has no chance of winning. Also, I hope Woodard gets a few minutes tonight.
This game also shows how delusional Vivek is.
Blow. it. up. Monte.
That is the only hope because it would mean Monte is making the call.
5 more days. Please for the love of God. That some delirious GM will see what Buddy can do.
Ultimate disrespect, when Dwight Howard knows the lead is big enough he can try to take every shot on the offensive end.
I hope Vivek and Monte are watching this SS. This game magnifies how bad the Kings really are. How far they are from just being competent. The Sixers are minus 3 starters.
The Kings just brought out their Blankee and Pacifier. Nite Nite.
Besides, Buddy, of course.
And how bad Walton is, but that would require recognizing that the Kimgx whole org is terrible.
I’m only watching now to hopefully see Walton pull Fox and Co. and play Ramsey, Woodard, etc.
To add, Walton had better pull the starters before a trade asset rolls an ankle. Nothing to gain by playing Barnes, Buddy or Holmes right now.
Ramsey is out, I don’t know the status of Woodard
Probably for a good 3minutes
That’s now 4 goaltending calls on Dwight coward
Empty the bench Loose!
I know it’s only been 6 games. But, Hali has been downright abysmal in the stretch.
7pts a game 30 percent shooting 31% from 3.
Is he playing injured or teams figuring him out?
He’s injured.
not sure how you know that, has it been reported?
Sorry, meant I believe-by seeing his lumpy gate and what he’s unable to do, that he’s not healthy from calf injury.
that’s typical of calf injuries.
I certainly hope he’s still a little ginger
getting tired of his weak personal output
he seems a little beta/try to get everyone involved for his own good
He definitely isn’t aggressive enough usually, but he’s short on shots, never in passing lane-playing good D. Not pushing off. I can see if.
He was getting more aggressive before injury. He will be really good. Just a temporary injury bump
Had anyone seen Anthony Edwards play recently? Man, I was all wrong about this guy.
Averaging almost 25 pts a game over the last month. Wolves are still bad
But, another Top 5 pick. Edwards, DLo, Kat. That looks like a pretty good core.
He’s still mainly ISO, and a bit inefficient.
he’s going to be a scorer though, for sure
ISO. That’s ok. If we had a least one high upside ISO player,
the Kings would be a lot better than they are.
He’s only 19. If he gets the right coaching around him that kid is going to be quite good.
“Kings holding on to hope.” -Mark Jones (wtf?)
So Loose couldn’t insert Guy and Jeffries during his last timeout? What a complete idiot making them stand there at the table as the clock dwindles down.
Hield is ripe for a trade after tonite. Some GM is salivating.
I can get 25 a night with Buddy Ball
Cojo closing out the game. Great job Loose Walton.
Icing on the game
Wtf is Loose not playing Woodard at all?
He’s been in the game of three minutes
It’s the Cojo show!
At least TKH is beating STR in game thread comments, 106 to 2.
