Here we go!!
Vegas has the Heat -165. Not looking too good
Kings up 6 but the refs are already doing their best to fix it
Foul on Barnes? Are you kidding me?
Barnes assaulted Udonis’ elbow with his face. Clear as day.
Udonis’ elbow/forearm must be in serious pain.
A lot of bad calls already
Please lose
IMO Lyles is clearly the superior option between him, Metu, and Okpala
Lyles should be playing center against this team and Holmes should ride the bench.
I still believe in Holmes, even if he has been atrocious so far
Hey, at least we won a quarter
Good Kings defense or bad Heat offense?
C’mon Kings. Let’s blow these scrubs out of the water.
Lyles>Metu
Brown’s rotations are much better today
What else is Sabonis supposed to do there? Arms were straight up.
Is Sabonis’ lack of midrange jumpers a Sabonis thing or a Mike Brown thing?
YAY SABONER MIDDY
All we need is an injury to Fox and we can begin our pursuit of Wembanyama
Hey Kayte, you don’t need to talk every minute of the game. K, thanks
It’s pretty bad right
It’s worse than I remember. By the time she’s done talking about a play, the next two plays have happened
Kayte loves to hear herself but I do not .
Best half of ball of the season.
I’m terrified of the moment when Butler decides to turn on the gas
Kings certainly doing their part to take advantage of his slow start this half at least. Building as big a lead as they can
plzzz have a third quarter meltdown
Velvet is 5 of 6 from three with 4 assists
And no turnovers
Wow, half time box score looks promising. Let’s see what third quarter has in store.
Ah yes, the 3rd quarter Kings. 22 point lead quickly evaporating and now Sabonis is out for at least the entire quarter with 5 fouls
Offensive game plan….. give it to Kevin and let him huck it from wherever.
Not to intrude, but those two quick fouls for Sabas Jr was rough, that’s annoying. I’m not sure how the general Kings fanbase feels about the team but to me it looks like it’s a terrible schedule to start the season.
Keegan is gonna be so good though, that was a nice pick.
It’s well documented here how
corruptawesome the refs officiating is for this small market California team. If only the Kings could be better at not getting fouls called on them like other teams.Keegan has been a pure unemotional pleasure to have added to the franchise. ty
You could break Fox’s arm on a drive and it still wouldn’t get called
So we’ve got third stringers going against Lowry and Butler?
Their offense really turns into a trainwreck without Sabonis on the floor. Kings really about to blow their entire 22 point lead in the 3rd quarter alone at this rate
Lowry takes a tiny bump running around the court from Lin and instant foul called. Fox driving to the rim gets hip checked… no call.
Keegan is nice ???? so is Kevin. Just need a third K
Monk has made some big shots/nice passes the last couple games. Glad he’s not Buddy 2.0.
Holmes very clearly has no idea what he’s supposed to be doing on either end of the floor
WTF?
I’m sorry! I’m sorry! You were right!
Don’t apologize to me this is the game thread. I love Holmes too but he is just not sequenced in this offense or defense and not needed against this team.
Did Fox get tripped there?
Holmes looks lost out there. He’s always out of position on D and his offense is nonexistent. His offense left him the minute Hali got traded. I’d rather see Len get the minutes.
I suspect the problem is that Brown wants to run the same scheme regardless who’s out there, but Holmes is simply not Sabonis. No excuse for the wretched defense, though.
At this point, he doesn’t even look like a serviceable NBA player. His trade stock keeps falling faster than Kanye.
Welp… third quarter box score looks very Kangzy.
Davion and Richaun have been absolute train wrecks. Barnes is close to being a train wreck. All three playing heavy rotation minutes
Return of the Kangz or first win??
Asking too much for this roster to put in 4 good quarters I guess.
Let Lyles play center. It’s not like the Heat have any big guys on the floor much and put in the death lineup!
Get Holmes off the floor!!!!
make up calls?
Just enough to cover up that the fix is in
FYI Primo facing allegations he exposed himself to women multiple times. Yikes.
Davion just killing the Kings out here today
He’s been killing them every game so far.
Davion needs to step his game up.
Needs to step to the bench for the rest of the game
The Heat.. ugh Kangz is On
How the fuck do they not get it to Sabonis?? SMH. That’s why we are the Kangz. You can tell by body language that they’re about to fold.
lol
Refs for Wemby!!
Great. Holmes on the floor.
Hilarious foul call on Sabonis. Refs absolutely killing the Kings but there’s no excuse for them to blow a 22 point halftime lead at HOME regardless
About to go 0-5 on the season. It’s not coaching, although Mike Brown’s rotations are ass. I wonder if they will finally realize this is not how to build a successful team. They need to finally blow it up completely and build a team the right way. Or they can keep losing and see just how long they can keep the playoff drought alive. Let’s go KANGS!
Fox has stepped up his D this season by leaps and bounds. If he played with that much tenacity in the past seasons, he’d be a multi-time All Star.
Props to Fox. He really is taking his defensive game seriously this season
Fox taking over this game defensively. Let’s go Richaun!
Holmes did good there
if The kings lose today I don’t think we win a single game this season
Fox left Herros ankles at the FT line.
Why is Fox trying to save clock time on inbounds when the Kings are up?
Because he can
Fox is playing like THE GUY.
Fox proving he’s the man on this team. Really can’t believe how much he’s stepped up this season.
Playing like a superstar. That’s exactly what the team needs.
Yea! Let’s go Kings and Foxy!!
Weren’t you hoping Fox would get injured earlier in the thread?
Fox leading the team in rebounds
Let’s go!! Close it out Fox!!
F**k Lowry!
Play good defense and hit your FT’s
Fox needs to take over
Fox getting hit around like a pinball and no foul call lmao
Lmao compare that clip of Bam on Fox to Sabonis’ 6th foul. Outrageous.
Kayte says Kings ball. That means it’ll be Heat ball.
Good call Chippy!
This is the game if it’s not turned over because the heat use their timeout
Spoelstra is such a good coach.
Come on, Holmes….
Kayte breaks all talking records .
Fuck it, we deserve this win!!!!!
If I had to guess the score from these comments alone, I’d guess the Kings were down by 24.
You can filter out all the other comments and just listen to me….. It would be like a live podcast without commercials.
Lord…. Fox with 17 points and 13 rebounds
De’Aaron Sabonis
And not getting to the line because?
Fitting end for this ref crew. Missed an obvious travel by Herro. Just a god awful game for them
“Sorry to interrupt you” – Kayte…………………………….
Lakers the only winless team in the league!
Spoelstra has to be in the top 3 coaches in the league.
Fox: Engaged on defense, a whole new dude. Still don’t trust his out-of-control play down the stretch
Keegan: Slow and steady and sometimes deadly. But one rebound?
Sabonis: Gotta show up like that every night
Davion: He’s broken for some reason.
“There’s going to be some nice wins coming…. Trust me” Kenny Thomas
Keegs had 2 blocks but 5 turnovers….. The Heat were covering him like a vet…. another testament to Spoelstra’s coaching.
Solid win against a scrappy team. Love how we overcame the terrible refs this game
Yes to Trey, no Metu.
What happened to Davion?
WTF happened to Brad Miller? Aged horribly
Hopefully this win is a sign that the season has turned around.
