Smart move by Monk to get to the line. Too many times this team settles for outside shots instead of working it inside to get a better shot 15 feet in. Smart teams have taken advantage of this and trying to encourage them to shoot more from 3 than 2. Kings can’t take that bait.
I don’t have any firm numbers in front of me, but I feel like when Tony and/or Natalie ref a game against us, the opposing team seems to be in their best behavior in terms of not fouling
If I were Ty Lue, I wouldn’t be that happy RN. The Clippers are scoring the ball well, the Kings aren’t doing it all that effectively, they’ve gotten a happier whistle and they are up 6.
But….that doesn’t mean the Kings will continue this up either.
Clippers simply just have more talent, and they’re at home. Just gotta hope the Kings pull out a longshot here. And this is a Kings team that can do it.
BOOM BABY!!!! Great comeback to get this lead. Just gotta keep pushing, really. That’s the trick. You ain’t going to beat the Clippers at their place in 24 well played minutes. We’re not even halfway home yet, there’s a long way to go.
Well I tune in just in time to see Domas get 2 bogus fouls and the Clippers having a 20-7 edge in FTA. Kings gotta deal with one sided officiating again it appears?
Clippers announcers talk about how amazing it is that the Clippers have scored 73, without making a single mention of how amazing it was that they have given up 70.
Natalie Sago is also part of Brothers crew tonight. She was also part of the crew that missed the obvious foul by Klay against Huerter on his game tying 3PT attempt
Kings gonna be tested in the 2nd half with Domas likely playing only the first couple minutes of the 3rd and then won’t be seen again until a few minutes into the 4th. Metu or perhaps more Lyles at the 5 is what we’re looking at.
Kings missing their 3’s this quarter….Clippers aren’t. IDK why it is but teams just always shoot lights out from 3PT vs the Kings this year. 15/25 now for them
This is going to be a tough game! No slow starts!
So far they started the game well…
It’s all about limiting the turnover
No Zubac tonight for LA. That’s a good thing for Domas. Great half hook on Plumlee!
Keegan for tree!!!!!
3 team fouls early. That’s going to be a problem.
Clippers came to play. Don’t think you can complain that the Kings played a team not ready to play tonight if they get a W.
What a play by Keegan!!!!
Game is shaping up to be a situation where Barnes has to be the X-factor.
Davion. For. Tree!!!!!!!
2 FGA for Domas so far. He needs to get 12-14 FGA tonight for the Kings to win, me thinks.
Ah tony brothers and co are the refs. Going to be a hard game.
The Kings signature is leaving players on their own island beyond the arc. Time after time after time.
The reason LA is up is literally just a few little differences. Plus Kawhi has shown why he’s a top 10 player when he’s at his best.
They also have a vastly superior bench.
Yeah, maybe. I’m not buying that. Bigger names, certainly.
I don’t see how Metu or Davion makes that roster.
Great layup by Monk. Clippers had been on a 11-0 run.
Again, Clippers are in the penalty, and somehow they are being rewarded for it. Kings are going to have make adjustments.
Refs on Clippers side in 1st quarter.
11 FTA’s for the Clippers to the Kings 2 FTA’s.
And1 Trey Lyles!!!!!
Trey is always under control
Deaaron Fox ohhhh boiiiii!
Standing around will get you burned like that.
20 to 6 Paint Points Sac. 11 to 3 FT’s LA. 7 to 5 Points off TOV’s Sac. Both teams have hit 5 3’s.
Spectacular 1st qtr of basketball if you ask me. ESPN should have this game on the national slate.
yup. pretty good basketball
From a fan standpoint, it’s entertaining stuff. Two teams going at it? Can’t ask much more than that.
Smart move by Monk to get to the line. Too many times this team settles for outside shots instead of working it inside to get a better shot 15 feet in. Smart teams have taken advantage of this and trying to encourage them to shoot more from 3 than 2. Kings can’t take that bait.
yeah, he’s playing like a 3-level scorer.
These refs are not calling this game in a fair manner.
Clippers are getting a lot of reputation fouls. Hopefully as the game goes on that won’t be the case.
Are you copying me? đŸ¤£
Fun game to watch so far.
I don’t have any firm numbers in front of me, but I feel like when Tony and/or Natalie ref a game against us, the opposing team seems to be in their best behavior in terms of not fouling
Domantas with the patience that leads to the easiest Keegan layup of the season.
Powell thought he was fouled on his every single shot….
If I were Ty Lue, I wouldn’t be that happy RN. The Clippers are scoring the ball well, the Kings aren’t doing it all that effectively, they’ve gotten a happier whistle and they are up 6.
But….that doesn’t mean the Kings will continue this up either.
The Kings really need HB and De’Aaron to get going. HB hasn’t scored and only taken 1 shot. Upside is Keegan is 4-6 from 9 points already.
Fox might need to play a lot of minutes today
Clippers simply just have more talent, and they’re at home. Just gotta hope the Kings pull out a longshot here. And this is a Kings team that can do it.
Great push by the Kings to cut it back to 3.
A few awesome fakes by Sabonis under the rim.
the chemistry between monk and Sabonis is unmatched
What a run…
Nice job by Monk and Sabonis !!!!!!!!!
Looking like the Monk Show.
The Sacramento Scores is such a better team name than the Kings, but whatever lol.
Resilient
BOOM BABY!!!! Great comeback to get this lead. Just gotta keep pushing, really. That’s the trick. You ain’t going to beat the Clippers at their place in 24 well played minutes. We’re not even halfway home yet, there’s a long way to go.
36 to 12 paint points Sac. That’s the difference since the Clipps have 7 more FT’s and 3 more 3’s made.
Damn looks like I missed much of what has been a very entertaining 1st half so far.
Absolute BS foul on Domas. If that wasn’t Kawhi Leonard, that’s not called.
Sabonis is not even touching him when Kawhi shot the ball
The ref sucks………..
They saw we are on the run…and stopped our momentum
It’s technically a foul, but I can see it going 50/50
Clippers announcer: “The goal ultimately is to get to the playoffs.”
Retarded people across the world nod in unison.
Well I tune in just in time to see Domas get 2 bogus fouls and the Clippers having a 20-7 edge in FTA. Kings gotta deal with one sided officiating again it appears?
Oh great, it’s Tony Brothers. Explains that
Yep. Pretty much.
Yeah, I don’t know about this challenge honestly. But both of these calls are horrible.
Looks like the Kings will be without Sabonis for most of the 2nd half.
Tony Brothers trying to drain a ton of excitement from this game. Kings gonna be without Domas for much of the 3rd
My guess is the refs foul him out before the 4th starts.
League office knows that they can keep the Kings in check by keeping Sabonis in the bench. So that’s what they do, when the need it.
The Clippers announcer intones: “Transition defense.”
Idiots across the world high-five one another.
Clippers announcers talk about how amazing it is that the Clippers have scored 73, without making a single mention of how amazing it was that they have given up 70.
Since his suspension, Tony Brothers has turned into a real jerk.
Why was he suspended? Never mind. I found it and recall it now.
He called Spencer Dinwiddie a bitch ass mother fucker
To be fair, he’s not wrong.
So, can somebody tell me that is Tony Brother a fan of those LA team ?
I hate him….his officiating is real bad
he’s pathetic. Worst ref in the league and he always seems to screw the Kings.
I knew this part definitely……
Natalie Sago is also part of Brothers crew tonight. She was also part of the crew that missed the obvious foul by Klay against Huerter on his game tying 3PT attempt
Scott Foster gives him a run
Russell Westbrook looking as good as ever
He is?
Kayte agrees
LOL. I needed that.
Clippers announcers: “Do not adjust your set.”
The Kings have 76.
Kings gonna be tested in the 2nd half with Domas likely playing only the first couple minutes of the 3rd and then won’t be seen again until a few minutes into the 4th. Metu or perhaps more Lyles at the 5 is what we’re looking at.
Games are like this why I wish Richaun Holmes was more involved…but that’s probably just optimistic hope on my part and not much else at this point.
Just got off plane and waiting for another… seems like a real defensive gem!
Aren’t they always?
Clippers announcers at half-time are hilarious.
Clippers 80! they almost shout.
Kings 76 they whisper.
If you’re going to get Kawhi playing like this, I’m good with the loss. There are worse things.
Kings missing their 3’s this quarter….Clippers aren’t. IDK why it is but teams just always shoot lights out from 3PT vs the Kings this year. 15/25 now for them
Kings are only taking threes.
Kawhi being 7-9 from the field and 3-4 from 3 is never a good sign for you.
So are the refs going to give a quarter to the Kings now that they’re down by 10?
Kawhi just not gonna miss all game I guess
I guess he won’t
And what was HB supposed to do? Did almost everything you could do.
KEEDAWG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fox cross-court pass to Huerter was Doncic-esque.
Kings are playing dominantly. On the offensive side.
Clippers have great defense, but they can’t handle the Kings offense.
Leave Sabonis in. His fouling out and this loss is inevitable. Let the guy play.
Thanks NBA refs. Domas with 5 fouls and effectively done for much of the 2nd half and completely killing the momentum of this game.
Refs are ridiculous. This is BS. Plumlee threw his chest into Sabonis.
Tony fucking Brothers
Glad Brown is leaving Domas in. Fuck these calls.
KEEGAN!
…MURRAY!
