Boom. Go Kings!
Lonely at the top?
Light crowd.
I’ll throw a STAMP IT in here anyway.
GO KINGS!!!!
Fox running past the whole team!
This smells like a Luke Kennard career game.
We’re actually pretty good.
Bagley had no idea Batum was there when he got his pocket picked.
Meh. He was trying to pickup the loose ball steal. It gets a bit chaotic in moments like that.
No court vision.
Less a vision issue (as he was behind him) and more a feeling/ sensing him issue
Between Whiteside and Hield, we have the turnover brothers.
It didn’t count but damn. Is there anything this kid can’t do!?
Another winnable game, seems like so far.
Whiteside is looking slow and sloppy as all hell.
Kyle is the Guy that just ruined my Nostradumbass day with that 3PM
Why the hell is Whiteside taking long jumpers, turn around jumpers and trying to take his man off the dribble. And 2nd, why the hell is Luke taking so long to lead this deficit grow while he does this nonsense. Wtf
What has happened to Buddy?
Ugh…Morris just blew by Bagley.
I guess the refs are wearing the right colors today.
Refs: “Let’s hurry and get this Clipper win over with, I got money on the Chiefs”.
Where are all the Whiteside supporters today? This is who he is. A paradox. He will give you brilliance on occasion. On other days, he’s disinterested and hideously bad. He’s been this way his entire career. That’s why he never will last on any team. He wears out his welcome everywhere he goes. He’s has zero loyalty or passion for the game. That’s why I never liked the guy. No respect for the game whatsoever.
He makes the laziest passes known to mankind.
Are there “Whiteside supporters” among us?
Nice rebound and pass to Hield by Bagley.
Fox will never be elite until he starts making his free throws.
Is Holmes playing his way into a nice contract? How much do you think it would cost to keep him?
He is playing his way into a very nice contract. The problem is it might be a contract the Kings simply can’t afford. They don’t have his Bird Rights and limited to how much they can pay him.
Really gonna need some of our bench guys to step up today.
What is this team playing good team basketball!
Great finish to the first half.
Finally, a Buddy three. And it came from a Rese’s Pass
We have a lead half way through the third quarter…amazing.
Let’s do this Buddy
Buddy!
Bagley going one on one is never a good thing.
LOL I like how the play he drove and failed was followed by him stepping into an easy shot assisted by Fox. So it was Bad Bagley, Good Bagley.
He just shouldn’t be doing everything off the dribble. He’s needs to be modeling Holmes in that way.
If we’re talking about the spin move attacking the rim, that’s a good thing, even if the player misses. Good things happen on the attack.
Good God that Bagley drive was ugly.
Truth be told, every Bagley drive is ugly.
It’s puzzling how clumsy he looks.
It’s just stupid to try and dunk on Ibaka who is standing right at the rim.
Yes, I agree. It was stupid for Bagley to do that. But I definitely can name some leapers who will posterize Ibaka’s ass.
He’s a momentum killer. Can’t seem to grasp that he’s much better if he lets the ball come to him.
Somebody has to teach Bagley how to play basketball, man he’s pathetic
Hopefully our second unit can keep this close.
Where is Haliburton? He should have been off the bench 3 min ago.
Kings are looking tired, and rightfully so. Walton needs to use his timeouts wisely from here on out.
I am inclined to say these are the practice referees for the Clips.
I’m not inclined anymore. One of the Clips referees has Danning Manning jersey on. You can see it through the strips.
Maybe Fox should shoot his free throws like a jump shot.
I think he rushes his FT. He also doesn’t have full extension on the release. He short arms it a bit. I’ve also noticed he doesn’t always square his hips to the rim.
Nobody drives into double teams like the Sacramento Kings.
This bench unit is going to need to hold if the Kings are to win this game.
GR3!
HALIBURTON!
BUTTER x2
GUY!
Errr, CoJo
It’s Cojo time!
Wow, this bench crew is impressive right now.
Extend this lineup a little longer coach.
Nice job Luke, got Whiteside out of there. The 12pm start was too early for him
They play with a clear plan, discipline and as a unit that believe in each other. This is fun to watch.
Snappy play and drive by Guy.
Haliburton maintaining the lead with Guy, Joseph, Robinson and Whiteside/Metu.
Free throws
Fox for 3. Sweet
this is most Alpha I’ve ever seen Fox in a game
Fox force 3. Again
Hero’s play hero ball but it will take a team effort in crunch
What I can say for sure is Kalamian is the guy running the defense. He’s been up barking orders to the Kings. He’s a lot more vocal than Walton on that end of the floor.
Looked like Lemon Pepper Lou got a bailout call there. Offense is failing? Just jump into the defender and pray for a whistle.
Fox is the man
That was bad
CLOSE THIS OUT BOYS. LESS THAN A MINUTE LEFT.
Barnes is the man
HB for 2
The Black Falcon comes through…
Wow Barnes!
Fox taking it to Kawhi
Get a stop here boys
Richaun is the man
HOLMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fox has his cape on flying by Leonard. Wow.
Alright. I’m sold. Fox-Hali-Barnes-Holmes should be the core for the medium term. Trade Bagley and Buddy for Wiggins and Minnesota’s 1st at the deadline and push for the playoffs, then trade both 1sts for a top 10 pick anyway.
Assist. Solid D and make free throws make LA Live
Unless the Clips tie the game with a 3, from this point on the Kings are gonna just have to make free throws.
Dang, if only Ty got that rebound.
I had no idea you push someone down, then walk on their face KAWHI.
Barnes all over Leonard
YES! NOW JUST MAKE YOUR FREE THROWS!
Great block out by homes
C’mon guys we’re almost there….
CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS
Looks like game to me.
We’re over .500, boys!!!
Excellent exceptional defense by the Kings. Especially containing Leonard. Barnes played excellent D all day.
Very nice win. Well done!
This stretch is hard to believe!
Is this team for real?
Damn right. You get a STAMP just for asking the question. You can have the STAMP removed by showing your loyalty. And you have to go before the SIU committee before have the STAMP removed.
GO KINGS
Hell yes!!!! GO KINGS!!!! Great start to the day!
Fox truly has gone to another level, I’m lovin’ it.
Reminds me of Iverson
Holy shit. Fox is becoming a superstar.
Fox and Haliburton with ANOTHER dominant 4th quarter.
Great win! Fox being Fox, but props to HB for his D on Kawhi and the big putback.
Have an Octavius Thumbs Up..
Fox is worth every penny!
Best win of the season, a b to b on an afternoon game less than 24 hours before the previous win. Great team defense. Bench gets a big kudo for holding its own in the early fourth quarter.
Raise you your hand if you are having fun!
.
When Fox gets his FT’s going in and I have no doubt he will this team is starting to look like the real deal, no longer looking like a fluke. And yeah I’m having a huge amount of fun watching this team. It’s been a long damn time!
The Pacific Division is nuts. No teams below .500 now.
The Kings only won because the Clips were shorthanded
Am I doing it right?
Right just like us without Luka. This team is fun to see grow like beating short handed seasoned playoff teams
First time sports betting:
I put $100 on a kings parlay
1. Buddy hits 3 threes
2. Kings win
$518 ð¥³
Here’s to all the almost certainly terrible decisions that are coming my way following this beginner luck!
You have no idea how true that is haha
Quiet Performers Today:
I swear Buddy plays better when he struggles. He played decent D, passed well, and rebounded like a forward.
The other player that deserves quiet praise is MetuGuy.
Metu was hustling out there. Brought a few decent defensive plays to the game and Guy looked pretty good for the complete lack of minutes this season and last. He goes for rebounds and hit a pretty important 3.
Small details win games.
Shit, we might be good
How much better would Kings be with a replacement over Hield and Cojo?
And Bagley. Can’t forget him. He needs to go ASAP. There are better polished PFs in the league and who could provide space. Anyone else that doesn’t have a dog mentality needs to go.
We’re hungry. Feed us NBA teams so we can feast on their ass.
