Zubac is going to kill us on the boards today
Always so jarring going from watching Kings home games vs road games due to how weak these crowds are in comparison.
Dang this game would’ve been more fun with PG or Kawhi
Murray engaged early. Good to see him finding his rhythm again.
Stupid Clippers always load managing
Sabonis is ridiculous
I have been drinking since the US Mutant Ninja Turtles game started this morning, so feel free to ignore me.
I’ve lived a majority of the last decade in the DC area and John Wall has always held a special place in my heart. One of those advanced stats anti-darlings like DeRozan or Butler who’s always been a walking bucket.
He’s been through a lot in his life in the past few years and I’m happy to see him still carving out a role in the league.
I always felt like prime Wall was what we wanted out of Fox. I think that’s a bit too low of a ceiling at this point, but it more or less stands
Not thrilled to see it against the Kings, but I am happy to see John Wall being an effective NBA player again.
Domas killing it . Kings MVP .
Love the end result of 1Q, but giving up 5 offensive boards in one period can’t happen again. Loving 12 assists, though! Let’s go!
I love the energy the 2nd unit always brings to the game.
This is fun..so far
Brown has got these guys running like a well oiled machine
This is awesome. How did we stumble onto the best bench in the NBA?
Very carefully.
We’re up by 23 points and Fox only has 1 point.
Still trying to get used to watching a Kings team actually take advantage when opposing teams are missing their star players.
Anytime we used to play a middling NBA team, you’d essentially have to hope for the Kings to have an above average game, and the opponents to get caught napping for us to snag wins.
These days, the Kings are coming to play at a high level. No more praying for upsets. This team is one you need to be ready for (and teams missing stars need not apply).
Holy crap that was the Clippers first made FG of the 2nd quarter lol
13-4 advantage for the Kings so far in the 2nd qtr.
Kings looking great! Fox isn’t.
They’re literally up 55-28 as I am typing this and Fox nailed a 3. I’m good with his play
The offense as a system has been running so well lately I think Fox has really just kinda stood out of the way until he’s needed. I don’t mind at all.
Indeed. Not needing Star Fox on a nightly basis is a good thing. As long as he can still bring it when needed, I’m good with letting him step aside.
Too early to put in the third string? There is a game tomorrow too.
I don’t trust math in my head anymore but are we up 27 points with 3 minutes to go until the half? Shoot!!!!!!
Seriously, what did Domas do to the refs? Just handed him 3 weak fouls
First half almost over. Kings have 17 assists.
Clippers have 4.
box score assist numbers are crazy
Sweet pass from mezzie to Keegan
If Domas is going to be in constant foul trouble, what do you think of Holmes and picks for Poeltl? What does SA need to make that happen?
A younger player?
Unfortunately, maybe.
I think the Kings are waiting for Queta, he really looks good right now in Stockton
SAS will not do that. They overvalue him- may trade to duds though since duds not happy with over paid Looney tunes
Kings can’t make their FT’s against the Clippers I guess. Went 15/26 in their first matchup and are 7/13 so far today
Mike Brown bringing a little Golden State with him to Sac
Refs trying their hardest to find a way to get the Clippers back into the game.
Wanna see a little 13-2 third quarter run by the Kings and put this one away. Clips without 4 of their starters/rotation players. Save our starters for tomorrow. I like the Clippers announcers on the stream. Don’t over talk and very complimentary towards the Kings. I saw we’ve allow 110+ points in 66 consecutive games. Would like to break that streak.
Was ready to type the same sentiment. Need to put the foot on their throat and not let them back in the game.
Correction 100+
I don’t care who is playing, hold them under 100
Don’t settle for jump shots. Attack the rim!
Gotta put an end to this CLippers run….don’t give them life
That wasn’t even an airball
Does Murray need glasses?
Possibly
Keegan’s shot just vanished after the first 4 games. I do like how active he’s been on both ends of the floor this game though.
Yikes Keegan not looking good right now but gotta give him time
Welp…..you’re right but at least he doesn’t look like he’s sleepwalking his way thru the game
I know I’ve seen this thru out the thread but this is looking like a far more engaged Murray
Domas is one tough baller
Yeah yeah, Clips are banged up and missing their stars and all, but this is quite easily the best the Kings defense has looked all year.
Yeah Domas does so much stuff… not just passing and stat stuff. He makes this team so much better.
He’s literally the engine that makes this elite offense go IMO. Glad Brown left him out there after he quickly picked up his 4th foul early in the 3rd.
Nice play
HB
On the J O B
Any team that wants HB is going to have to pay a premium
Wow, nice late call on Sabonis.
Oh come on refs…
Jeez that whistle came like 10 seconds well after the play. WHat a joke. Now Domas is out until about midway into the 4th. Big stretch for the Kings here without the guy who has been by far their best player today
i like KZ, he deserves more time. He’s a pest out there and does good thing
I like that he does what Jerry was talking about on the pod: He presses ball handlers.
Garbaga calls. Three in a row.
Wow… Mitchell, Fox, Monk, Davis and Metu
Metu has been really shining recently
Yes. Need those bench players who can score. Let’s hope he keeps it up efficiently.
Playing his role. He is not a guard
Fox needs to take over here with Domas out. Offense stagnating and now the Clippers got the deficit down to 16
Was just typing that. It’d be nice to see Fox step up. Is he good enough to just turn it on and off as needed? 9 pts is pretty pathetic.
Couple of substitutions and they rectified that in a hurry. Great to have a competent coach!
Huerter is one of my favorite players on this team just saying
Barnes is a baller!
He has always been a baller it’s just…………sometimes he’s not always an engaged baller. For the last 3 games or so he is looking like a lion looking over a heard of antelope. He has been laser focused
Brown made sure to get the starters back in with the hopes of them squashing this run and putting the game away quickly. Lead back up to 25 just like that. Would be nice to be able to rest them for the last half of the 4th with them playing another game tomorrow
28 assists to 7 turnovers is beautiful basketball.
just a few years ago the Kings had a top tier commentator team. I can hardly listen to theses two bufoons.
But go kings, I’ll take a hoo team instead anytime.
A good team instead.
These two just love their own voices . Takes away from exciting team .
light it! light it!
Not sure about the rest of y’all, but I think I have PTSD from all the blown leads over the years. I see us go from up 25 to up 17 and just feel like the game is being lost. It’s strange to have a feeling that it was never in jeopardy.
Handled business against a beat up team and now the starters should get to rest up the last half of the quarter
Haha, Light the Beam chants in LA
There u go Keegan, showin a bit of confidence!!!
Hell yeah Keegan!
I had to play it back to be sure, but after Keegan hesitated on that last 3 the first time, you can see Delly motion and you can just hear the words, “put it up!”, right before Keegan does in fact put it up and nail the three.
Love to see all the coaching going on – both off the floor, and on it.
Didn’t see Delly say that..but glad to see he did. It was just nice to see Keegan putting the ball in the hole at the end.
Keegan has 20 pts, is that the first time this year in the regular season?
He had 21 against the Suns
Er…agsainst the dubs
Did I just hear a “Let’s Go Kings!” chant?
This game is never going to end 🤣
10 missed free throws – ouch!
They missed 11 the first time they played the Clippers, so it’s an improvement!
Delly will pass it to anyone before he takes a shot
LOL…. They are chanting “Light the beam” in LA….. I agree.
I thought I was hearing things lol The clippers announcers totally ignored it.
Light the beam chants in LA!
Good to see Keegan find his shot there in the 4th. Hopefully it’s a turning point after his struggles
That’s what I’m hoping for. I mean why else have him on the floor in garbage time?
Finding his shot was great….seeing him play hard, looking for his shot, aggressively defending was even better for me. It….almost seemed that in this game he woke up and remembered what he was here for
I’ll take 23 and 7 from Keegan every game from here on out, please. Thank you very much.
Historically any mid afternoon game regardless of the competition would have been a scheduled loss for the Kings…. This is a different Kings team.
