Only 2 games but I already don’t want to see Monk doing anything with the ball in his hands other than catching and shooting. Getting Hield PTSD whenever he starts dribbling
If HB has to go I hope he starts playing better so we can get something for him. He neded to be traded 2 seasons ago, not because he can’r play but KANGZ
Brown is gonna try his damndest but it’s really gonna be hard for this team to be good defensively with this roster construction. Just way too many poor defenders on the team to overcome deficiencies.
Wow….watched Keegan get blown past on a play early in the 2nd for an easy bucket. Mike Brown called a TO and instantly went into coaching mode.
Clips just tried the same thing again, and you could see Murray clearly make the adjustment. He still wasn’t quite in the right position at fouled at the last moment, but he made about an 80% correction on a single repetition in real time. Really, really, impressive.
There are going to be games where Mike Brown blows through all his timeouts WAY too early, and it’ll probably cost the team a game at some point.
But it’s still the right call.
Perhaps more than any other coach in the NBA right now, he has to COACH this team live, in real-time. It’s the only way to change 16 years of ingrained culture. And that’s going to mean breaking habits, breaking patterns, by any means possible.
It’ll look like a bad move in the moment, but in the long term, it’s going to pay off.
You make the investment to make adjustments early in the game and that is the difference between a close game or a blowout by the time the 4th quarter rolls around.
With this teams “potential” largely unrealized I have no problem with his time outs I have no problem at all with him coaching and teaching during the game. We are going to lose a shitload of games anyway.
Through two games, it looks like he made the steal of the draft (Murray), and the steal of the summer trade season (Huerter). I mean, as a team, they’ve played really poorly overall through 2 games, and they led with 3 minutes to go against the Blazers, and they’re leading here at the half.
The first month or two may not look great, but the pieces are here. Once everyone figures out their role, and fully understands Brown’s defense, they’re going to be in good shape.
Kings need as many supporters as possible. For some reason Gallo has outsize mojo. Even if he’s only right about 38 % of the time he always likes our chances. There have been games when during KANGZ if he didn’t have the first post I didn’t even turn on the game……..So yeah, I still hold him responsible for our first loss.
Don’t say that. I’ll punch you in the nose and then run like hell but after 3 steps my muscles would start to cramp up so………Please sir don’t say that about Davion.
I have never said that Davion is the savior of this team. I do believe that he has much more to contribute than he has so far. Last part of last season he looked very good. I’m not a big Fox supporter and IMO whatever it was….13 games to end the season he played very well. I think/know you’re wrong….but shit I’ve been wrong before. The next 2 seasons will tell. Maybe I should just smack you with my cane so I don’t have to run. I always read your stuff satdawg and by the end of the season I’m wrong I’ll tell you. And if Davion plays better than you anticipate I hope to hear from you.
Schedule is tough but man….if this team really struggles to something like 2-8 out of the gates, that’ll kill any and all excitement and good vibes from this group and things can really spiral
Sucks they didn’t have Murray in game 1 because they probably win that one. This game looks like it’s a wrap now with the deficit now double digits and PG coming back in now
Domas is getting jammed up in the paint surrounded by most of the opposing players each time he tries to put a shot up…….looks like it’s not working well.
Giving up layups to George down the stretch. Really?

They have better overall talent on paper, but still not a good team. Defense is still poor. Monk has been disappointing to say the least. Barnes looks so slow and getting torched. Tried to be optimistic but looking at an 0-5 start.
Hi
Good to see Murray play !!
And more KZ & Mitchell’s defense, please
Looks like our drinking game will just be Foxey and No Excuses with Kayte and Kyle. Though if one of them says butter…chug whatever you’re drinking?
We had a “butter” on the first three of the game, so bottoms up.
It’s been a disappointing first half for this game. Only one Foxy to go with the butter.
Probably should add Mr Fox’s Neighborhood
hmmm
Murray on deck?
KAY ZEE for three
Good to see him hit the corner 3..
and his defense on PG is good
Fox on the floor with monk and Holmes
Keegan catches ball on busted play and makes 3
Overcommitting on defense, leading to easy Clippers buckets.
KEE-GAN!!!!
Holmes off the floor quick
Malik Hield in the game
I’m starting to get the same kind of anxiety when he’s in the game as Buddy made me feel
He just looks out of control, or unsure of himself when he has the ball. Needs to slow down
Dang refs are letting them play
I’m not seeing much D. What am I missing?
Keegan sets up a perfect ally-oop for Domas, who misreads it. He’s so out of sync right now.
Davion had Murray wide open trailing behind him and instead goes to monk
He makes up for it with that nice find in the corner at the end of the quarter
Davion is making some nice passes inside out. Wish they were turning into dimes
Can Sabonis just dunk the ball, instead of going for hook shot ?
Only 2 games but I already don’t want to see Monk doing anything with the ball in his hands other than catching and shooting. Getting Hield PTSD whenever he starts dribbling
HB has to go, he’s useless so far this season
If HB has to go I hope he starts playing better so we can get something for him. He neded to be traded 2 seasons ago, not because he can’r play but KANGZ
Make that Barnes/Holmes for Hayward trade.
I’d rather convert Barnes and Holmes for a long-term asset instead of a rental on an old vet
Keegan’s shot is so smooth
Nice read by Mitchell finding Murray
Held them to less than 30!!!
but they are without Kawaii and Wall
Yeah, that was supposed to be sarcastic.
Keegan’s professional basketball career he is perfect shooting
Davion to Murray for 3 – here’s to many, many more.
Brown is gonna try his damndest but it’s really gonna be hard for this team to be good defensively with this roster construction. Just way too many poor defenders on the team to overcome deficiencies.
I’ve thought the scheme has worked well. Clips have hit shots, but most of them have come with a hand in the face.
The team is still a work in progress, with more personnel moves necessary.
Get TD in there for Monk.
nobody is listening to Matt Barnes take him off the split screen
I must’ve missed this, when did Matt Barnes become an announcer with the Kings?
last season
Thanks, the streams I used to watch never showed interviews or side chats, just the game itself so I didn’t know he was around.
Matt’s getting a lot of burn on ESPN’s NBA Today
Keegan’s statline just now:
8 min 8 points 2/2
Maybe this kid should play as many minutes as possible?
So you’re saying if he plays 48 minutes a game we could be better? He’s young I say go for it
Wow….watched Keegan get blown past on a play early in the 2nd for an easy bucket. Mike Brown called a TO and instantly went into coaching mode.
Clips just tried the same thing again, and you could see Murray clearly make the adjustment. He still wasn’t quite in the right position at fouled at the last moment, but he made about an 80% correction on a single repetition in real time. Really, really, impressive.
Keegan’s different man.
wtf is that defense ?
Tampa Cover 2.
There are going to be games where Mike Brown blows through all his timeouts WAY too early, and it’ll probably cost the team a game at some point.
But it’s still the right call.
Perhaps more than any other coach in the NBA right now, he has to COACH this team live, in real-time. It’s the only way to change 16 years of ingrained culture. And that’s going to mean breaking habits, breaking patterns, by any means possible.

You make the investment to make adjustments early in the game and that is the difference between a close game or a blowout by the time the 4th quarter rolls around.
It’s also true that as Brown burns those timeout’s early, when the automatic TO’s come later on, the other team has to take those.
With this teams “potential” largely unrealized I have no problem with his time outs I have no problem at all with him coaching and teaching during the game. We are going to lose a shitload of games anyway.
I am enjoying this game.
Clippers really know to play D
Coach gonna coach!
This NBA app sucks – what the hell am I paying for with this stream?
Through my Xbox one it just freezes everybother possession. The laptop has performed much better. No lag or freezing at all.
I feel if Jackson is gonna play Fox straight up Fox should just go. Jackson just can’t.
Need a whole lot more from Barnes and Domas gotta start finishing these bunnies at the rim
Ugly 2nd quarter so far
Kayte catch ur breath you’ve been talking a lot this game
Red Velvet to Murray for the oop!
Throw it down young man! Keegan!
Kings FT shooting…
Extend McGenius!
Through two games, it looks like he made the steal of the draft (Murray), and the steal of the summer trade season (Huerter). I mean, as a team, they’ve played really poorly overall through 2 games, and they led with 3 minutes to go against the Blazers, and they’re leading here at the half.
The first month or two may not look great, but the pieces are here. Once everyone figures out their role, and fully understands Brown’s defense, they’re going to be in good shape.
Velvet got handles I didn’t know
He was a tiny 5’8″ pg all through 10th grade and shot up at the end of high school and got thrown on the wing. He’s always had the handle though.
Saved by the Vel!
And Hueter with the Murray-up offense!
WTF Fox!
Fox FT shooting still rough but he’s hitting his 3’s so far.
Good game… very entertaining
Will Fox ever improve his FT % at all ?
Has Fox ever shot 25% from the FT line for a season?
Dude…….dude
This halftime show is rough!!
You there?
There are many empty seats on the lower level.
Nonetheless, Gallo likes our chances.
Fucking A….Finally. Where you been. I hold you personally responsible for the first loss.
Gallo has many gallinas to look after. Give the sky roostah a break!
Kings need as many supporters as possible. For some reason Gallo has outsize mojo. Even if he’s only right about 38 % of the time he always likes our chances. There have been games when during KANGZ if he didn’t have the first post I didn’t even turn on the game……..So yeah, I still hold him responsible for our first loss.
57.1% from the line
Killing me.
Kings now 8/14 from the FT line. Just absolutely killer vs teams of this caliber
Man, they are letting them play tonight, lack of whistles.
Keep forgetting Barnes is in the court. He does pretty much nothing tonight
Not just tonight, but last game and the entire preseason as well. He’s looked real bad
He hasn’t been a fourth option on offense since his Warriors days. Going to take some time for him to adjust.
PG13 can’t beat us by himself. Old man gotta get tired in 4th.
this post aged faster than Old Man George.
Domas and Fox just killing them at the line
Domas FT’s look like crap
Looks like more FT practice is needed.
Fox should never go right
Are running suicides for missed FT’s a thing still?
I think they have been doing that at practice
At least they’ll be well conditioned
Jeez Domas
I think he’s getting pretty frustrated with how physical he’s been having to play in the middle. Including the lack of whistles both ways.
Gotta keep telling myself – Huerter and Murray aren’t going to shoot 80% all season…and Monk isn’t going to keep shooting 20%.
Maybe Len can help slow down Zubac. Domas getting worked.
I am totally okay to see Len play….we need big body…like I always said
Kings and 3rd quarters…
defense completely falling apart here
Um if you guys could stop getting beat by your man off the dribble every single play that would be nice
Fox and Sabonis need to he staggered a bit.
Like a quarter at a time
3 techs on the Clippers and the Kings can only cash in on 1/3 FT. Just brutal
9/18 for the game…..wow
Clips probably better off just committing shooting fouls
Not a bad scheme right now, haha
Keegan simply does not miss shots he takes, and he does not take shots that he’d miss.
Absolute garbage foul call
horrible horrible call
Here come the refs to take over the game
His arm wasn’t straight up, that’s probably why they called it
Gotta get Fox back in the game right now before this deficit grows any more
I’m really having a hard time with Davion’s shot selection tonight.
He had 2 early shots at the elbow that looked good. That’s about it
He should not be allowed to shoot threes, he fine in the short midrangs area
Just don’t go through Sabonis in every possession…too predictable
Let’s go Wemby!!!
Why do I put my hope into this team?
Davion is a bust
Don’t say that. I’ll punch you in the nose and then run like hell but after 3 steps my muscles would start to cramp up so………Please sir don’t say that about Davion.
Lol u act like Davion is going to be the savior of this team. He just isn’t really going to be that good. Sorry not sorry
I have never said that Davion is the savior of this team. I do believe that he has much more to contribute than he has so far. Last part of last season he looked very good. I’m not a big Fox supporter and IMO whatever it was….13 games to end the season he played very well. I think/know you’re wrong….but shit I’ve been wrong before. The next 2 seasons will tell. Maybe I should just smack you with my cane so I don’t have to run. I always read your stuff satdawg and by the end of the season I’m wrong I’ll tell you. And if Davion plays better than you anticipate I hope to hear from you.
Start Davion over Fox and this teams record is the same.
The SAME?!?! If Fox is gone it’s a wrap this is one of the worst teams in the league
Yes the same. The two games played would still be a loss. Fox did not contribute to a win two times in a row.
Fox has a history that is proven. He doesn’t win. He scores points but he doesn’t win.
WTF we’re we all excited about before the season started. Looks like the same old shit.
Just add the new shiny toy Keegan and his “potential” to carry this team. Not fair to expect him to carry this shit armada.
The refs really suck. But the Kings’ FT suck more.
Schedule is tough but man….if this team really struggles to something like 2-8 out of the gates, that’ll kill any and all excitement and good vibes from this group and things can really spiral
Sucks they didn’t have Murray in game 1 because they probably win that one. This game looks like it’s a wrap now with the deficit now double digits and PG coming back in now
Sabonis is trash, Harrison Barnes needs to be traded, richaun is still sulking, monk is Buddy
Layup drills for the Clips out here.
Domas is getting jammed up in the paint surrounded by most of the opposing players each time he tries to put a shot up…….looks like it’s not working well.
Waiting too long to make the pass or take the shot.
Keegan looks good
Needs to be starting moving forward.
Rolled out the red carpet for PG there on that dunk.
Paul George is annihilating this team.
Giving up layups to George down the stretch. Really?
They have better overall talent on paper, but still not a good team. Defense is still poor. Monk has been disappointing to say the least. Barnes looks so slow and getting torched. Tried to be optimistic but looking at an 0-5 start.
Domas has also looked bad. At least Fox, Huerter, and Keegan look awesome.
Lue ran 3 guys at Domas in the low post every time he touched the ball.
Turns out, Monte building a team around a lot of bad defensive players is….bad defensively. Huerter trade and Murray picks were great though.
Add Holmes to that list too. Trade him and Barnes.
Gotta start the Keegan for Barnes in the starting lineup hype train.
