Which team will show up tonight!
underdogs against a healthy playoff contender? guaranteed win.
No Keegan, need others to step up defensively.
OK KEON!
Agree with Katie. Kings look phenomenol at the start.
DOMAS ON LOPEZ’S HEAD
The Sabonis-era Kings consistently have fun games against the Bucks
HB on fire!
Had to skip this one in person due to some doggy issues (he’s doing better) but the good news – the Kings have a terrible record when I’m in attendance this calendar year. I’m not sure I’ve seen a single beam in 2024. Even better, I swapped out of tomorrow’s game!
Unfortunately, I will be returning to G1C on Saturday…
It’s not you bro.
If it’s you, I know a good witch doctor.
Wait, Keon is starting in place of Murray?
Ankle
Keegan’s injured, ankle
Sprained ankle
When Keon plays, the Kings outscore their opponents.
Excellent minutes by Keon.
We might see Keon and Davion both play more than 20 minutes tonight.
I hope we see that Monk-Domas action at least a dozen times tonight.
Stupid call, not a foul on anybody.
Whistles coming out against the Kings. Not sure what Davion did to get that one
I’m just glad Coach Mike didn’t challenge either of those
Damn. Gonna be up to the starters tonight.
Kings gonna have to win this one by 20 to win by 2
Ticky tac fouls. Refs wanna keep it close
picked up where they left off from the last Kings Bucks game.
Huerter with two dumb fouls in a row.
But he just made up for it.
3
Giannis gets fouled and then stared down a ref…
Perfect time for Fox to get Huerter the ball for that three.
Monk is working Pat Bev.
Monk must have used the old Jedi mind trick to score on that 1 on 3 fast break
Win or lose, we might be seeing the return of the Brown laptop postgame.
Monk goes 1 on 5 with the finish and the flex after Giannis’ flex… Bucks are playing crap defense but the refs be all like. “We got you”
Enjoyable game so far. As long the kings don’t get a 20 point lead. Might have to turn off the game if they do… sadly lol
3 bad fouls on Huerter
Huerter has to stop making dumb fouls.
I love Dame…. He has been very quiet.
Bucks seemingly got worse when they swapped him with Jrue at the point. Raises questions about his value to winning.
Yeah I don’t think I make that swap…. not for 10 million more
Keon plays when Dame plays? Nice.
another weird foul call against the Kings
15-0 free throw disparity is bullshit
To be honest, the Kings have made a ton of stupid fouls.
The Kings play to their competition for at least 50%-75% of each game. The rest is a crap shoot or a blowout.
No free throws for the Kings yet?
Nope
LOL the Kings bench after that Monk three.
Keon is absolutely clamping Lillard right now
Despite all the crap foul calls, kings up 14.
8 more threes will do that for ya
I like this team even more with Keon and Monk on the floor. What a dynamic MB has found
It’s fun when the camera pans over and I see Colby Jones. He’s like this little mystery box we get to open up next season. I bet he’s gonna be good. And Keon already is.
Dame thought he had Keon beat on that layup attempt. Surprise.
Malik Monk. 6th Man Award and Most Improved Player?
Keon being able to defend Dame 1v1 is allowing the Kings to effectively double Giannis and force the ball into the hands of the roleplayers to make plays. It is really messing with Milwaukee.
So nice having a good defender out there.
Keon and Monk have real defensive chemistry.
Giannis dunks like I do on a 6 foot rim
Dame with four points.
He’s been too busy flopping.
“kings leading in paints in the point” – Kayte Christensen
You cannot name me 10 players having a better season than Domas this year. He won’t get it, but he’s 2nd team All NBA material.
I was wondering what is going on with Trey recently… I guess he’s playing hurt.
Halftime trivia question–Which player on either team has the highest +/- so far?
Gotta be Keon
The one who someone called a G-league player in the preview thread earlier
He’s currently playing like a 30 mpg 3&D wing
I decided to take your comment as a bonus halftime trivia question. Three people immediately came to mind, so I had to check.
Nailed it. I guess these trivia questions are too easy.
Definitely Ellis
Keon
Avoid the 3rd quarter collapse!
checking the personal foul situation because corruption
Sabonis only has 1, Huerter has 3 and he definitely fouled. Harrison Ellis and Len have 2
with Lyles and Keegan out, who backs up HB at the 4?
Edwards or Duarte?
we’ve seen Edwards at the 4 in a pinch, so that’s one possibility … others?
Run McGee and Len as bigs and enjoy the McLensanity!
in the most recent kings herald podcast, Jerry Reynolds suggested playing Len with Sabonis at times to give a different look … so that might be another possibility.
Giannis at the line…again
Dame is defending huerter
No call as Fox gets hacked, then bullshit call on Keon
Fox has the worst whistle of any All NBA guard I have ever seen
All of a sudden, the Kings have gone cold. Good timeout.
Imagine having a foreign exchange student and showing them this game to introduce them to basketball.
They’d be so confused over the tall Greek guy taking free shots every five minutes.
Bucks have shot 24 more FTs than the Kings lol
Unbelievable!
Fox just took out his frustration on the rim
You could put both Lopez’z out there and they couldn’t stop Sabonis.
Good effort by the Kings, was worried it would fall off in the 3rd.
Bucks need to be given more soft fouls though.
Pretty sure Duarte is only in there because Keon has four fouls.
If Domas gets the NBA double-double streak record, do they stop the game and have Silver come out like they did for LeBron?
Isn’t it Wilt with like 277 games?
Monk 1 on 5 again…. Monk is forcing these refs….
Teams are just not afraid of any lead we have over them.
Wish Fox just took that to the rack. Decent job not collapsing though, nice block by Len there at the end
a couple good defensive plays by Len to close the 3rd
Awesome substitution by MB putting Len in, and awesome effort by Len. Good close to the quarter. Now just don’t get beat by 18 points in one quarter.
Wonder if there’s ever been a game where one team had 24 more free throws and was losing by 24. We started 8/11 from 3 and 4/19 since. Need a burst of energy to start the 4th.
Keon Ellis is already the Mic’d up champion
Even Beverly thought he fouled Fox there…
I’m so glad De’Aaron has rediscovered his mid range game
Doc with the burn to get his starters out of the game?
Can Len stay a King until he retires? Get it done Monte!
Super good minutes from Alex Len. Always liked that guy
Alex, I don’t take no shit, Len!
Can’t you just see Len as a bouncer or body guard?
Dame Time may be a little off this evening since Keon has put him in jail
Keon Savings Time was right there and I missed it
Avoid the 4th quarter meltdown!
so to get around the 10 second rule, Giannis does a free throw rehearsal without the ball for 10 seconds, then gets the ball, and then takes another 10 seconds
Beasley pointing at fans while his team is losing by 25
scoreboard
Same energy
Coach Rivers is all ” Damn…. I’m glad I’m not coaching in this conference anymore”
I gotta say, this game has been one of the most stress-free Kings games of the year so far.
yeah, it’s like a yoga session
Lots of flexing from Giannis just like a Lebron Flex…. meaningless.
Please make this a blowout, I wanna see me some Thanasis vs Mason Jones
Mason Jones in a dark pink tracksuit
We haven’t beaten these guys in like eight years. I hope we win by thirty.
you underestimated the Kings by 5!
Kings are like 30-8 when they shoot 35%+ from 3. Maybe Monte is right in saying the team needed to get the offense right
Garbage time at 6:36. Nice!
Hopefully we don’t get something like that one game (can’t remember who) earlier this season where our garbage time guys let them back in within 10
We are playing great basketball right now. I’m still slightly nervous with a 29 point lead.
I just DO NOT understand this team!
Ann Phuong has a Kings jersey on now!
okay, then something’s wrong
Who?
The trusted attorney you call if something’s wrong!
Nah, she mostly generates leads and farms them out to other lawyers.
We need this version of Kings 4x playoffs and Kangz 3x. Lose by 30 3x idgaf anymore
Is Colby Jones suited up?
Wow, the last time we beat the Bucks was 2016.
The Kings first(?) certified blowout of the year – shorthanded against the Bucks no less! My birthday started 18 minutes ago EST and this is a pretty nice start.
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Mine is today, March 12. Kennedy was President when I was born.
Happy Birthday!
Kings busting out the 4-guard lineup
who is PF in this lineup of Fox, Monk, Davion, Keon and Sabonis?
Monk is everything to everyone.
Colby Jones sighting
Oh Deer…. The Kings making Milwaukee and their 3 fun friends look like chumps. Rough loss for the Bucks.
This was a stomping.
So um… is Keon the starting two guard?
starting 3 tonight
Kevin saved his spot for a couple more games with that first half
When Javale is swishing 3s…….
That’s how you know nothing is going right for the Bucks tonight.
Who had JaVale McGee hitting a three pointer tonight?
