I’ll be interested in who is first PG to back up Fox. My bet is on Ellis.
Gallo del Cielo should know
I’d bet Davion
You’re on!
Hi!
Fox is warming up. Let’s hope he’s back.
Already announced he’s playing…with no minutes restriction !
Time for a HB bounce back game!
Our star player is already making an imprint. Clear increase in intensity.
Let’s Goooo
Fox taking a heat check already lol
Get some Ellis!
Keon over Davion.
I’m interested to see what the 7-9 players are going to be when Lyles is back.
Sasha looking good!
Looks like Sasha wants Barnes’ job.
Kings looking sweet
30s and 20s. Each quarter score in the 30s and keep your opponent in the 20s.
Fox running the show
Sasha is super efficient on both ends and I enjoy watching him play basketball
Who needs needs defense when you can hit 28 foot threes that barely ripple the net.
He’s not even that bad on defense! He’s too slow to 1v1 someone on the perimeter but he otherwise works hard, has good positioning and quick hands.
He doesn’t make many mistakes and seems to let the game come to him.
Keegan did a solid job on Mitchell. The length seemed to disrupt him a bit
Duarte’s fouling is really outta hand
So many fouls
Trivia moment: in Vezenkov’s part of the world, Sasha is short for Aleksandr or Aleksandar.
Somehow.
Officiating has been awful
League wide!
Len seems to be moving so much faster… maybe I wasn’t paying attention before.
They should play Duarte till he fouls out. Great energy.
The way he’s fouling, he should be good for another three minutes!
Then put in Colby. Sloan ball
Prediction: Sasha scores more than Barnes in fewer minutes.
Confirmed
Oh man. Malik working with the bigs is beautiful to watch… all other Kings players take a play off and rest.
what are the odds that Mark Jones reminds everyone that Malik means king in arabic?
He already has.
Do we owe a cookie?
Malik means “broken record” in Arabic.
Domas can make a three but can’t hit a free throw.
Is JaVale McGee hurt?
don’t think so
Brown just likes that Len doesnt bite on pump fakes, is not always out of position chasing blocks, consistently rebounds, and doesnt make boneheaded choices on offense.
JaVale, you’re on the bench because you’re a headcase and Len isn’t.
that’s okay. I’m on a lazyboy chair because I’m a nutcase
Just ineffective
I think Trey is the only one on the report.
Free throws.
did the foul occur before time expired. AT&T presents: you make the call
Mobley has 3 fouls
Cavs had to work hard to get a switch for Mitchell when Keegan was on him. Good sign that Keegan was defending him well.
did the ball lie?
I always wanted the ref to say “ball don’t lie” to Draymond when he is sniveling about fouling after he commits assault to put some one on the line.
Domas is 3 for 8 at the foul line.
Ugh, why do these guys struggle so much at the line?
I think Domas gets to the line more than any of the Kings players, why can’t the coaches teach him how to shoot?
Dropping dimes inside the post isn’t considered an assist?
nice move HB!
Allen is a pretty horrible defender….. at least tonight.
Huerter is looking great recently
So good to have Huerter back!
Kings floating like a butterfly and…. other stuff.
Murray’s D is really improved.
Keegan for DPOG
Fox 1 on 4 make after a made basket
Defense can be taught, turns out. Who knew.
Is Keegan already the Kings’ third best defender?
He’s arguably the best imo
red velvet!
? The timing of that challenge
It looks like Mr. Velvet has game.
not a foul on Vezenkov
Retain challenge good call
Challenges are really slowing the game down this year. Almost not worth the trouble, especially since they still don’t get it right every time.
Ellis needs to slow down his shot.
Cavs getting outclassed.
Javale going for a block thatvhe has no chance of getting and let Allen get position for the rebound and a bucket…
Kings are the Kings of pace… slow and fast.
Sasha doesn’t miss it’s mind-blowing
He deserves more minutes!
He’s got a really fast release. There isn’t even time for the defender to get a hand up.
on fire
42 point 3rd quarter!! Let’s gooooooooooo!!!!
up 20 after 3. how does everyone feel?
Keegan Murray…. just…. Sorry I’m a little verklempt
The Cavs were favorites in this game.
The Thunder were too, by the way.
Last game.
Have they reported anything about len’s injury? I don’t see him on the bench.
Out for the game
Sucks. Hope it’s just a bruise and nothing serious.
Get Duarte out of there.
Colby Jones minutes have been head and shoulders better and idk why coach isn’t giving him more opportunities
Jones got blitzed as a ball handler against Houston and hasn’t gotten minutes since
Also rather have Kessler in there than Duarte. He doesn’t foul nearly as much.
And he doesn’t keep missing 3s like Duarte
Need to put Domas and Murray back in before this gets out of hand
Murray to Ellis…. Ellis to Murray. It’s a thing
where is murrytant?
Oh yeah… IDK… murrytant is missed…. But I was Ellis before Ellis… Also I like Ellis and not just because Ellis.
Mitchell gets a whistle for anything and everything
I think Vegas oddsmakers are going to have to recalibrate their numbers on the Kings, the Rockets, and the Pacers.
Monk taking a charge???
Kings just coasting now.
Fox is getting buff and tired…. He fat.
That and one shoooooooooould do it.
hey, Kings got a call
Refs giving possessions to the Cleveland team. ball not off of Domas….. fail.
Regardless of final score, this was the Kings’ easiest win, I think.
Huerter sealed the W with that 3
Light the beam!!!!!!!!
Back to over .500!!!
On top of the Pacific Division again!
Do west coast teams even strat east coast? other than Boston?
good non-cardiac win.
That was vintage 2022 Kings right there.
Now that was fun! Great game all around.
is Fox the third best PG in the league now behind Luka and Curry? I think so.
Luka is not a point guard… he is something else… He is like LeBron but he hasn’t left for Moreami yet.
If not for that Klay shot, we’d be 6-3 now. I’ll take 3 in a row after the debacle in Houston.
Another easy win.
