Greg with the exciting game thread intro…go Kings!
Oh man, I totally missed that
BUDDY
This better be a good game. I’m giving up the last 30 minutes of Les “Les the Survivor Man’s Stroud’s 5th episode of his Big Foot series to watch this
It’s nice to see another team play no D
Cojo to Bagley…..match made in Heaven
How you gonna stop God’s plan
I wouldn’t dream of it!
Great defense in this game ð
CoJo LMAO 12.4 million for THIS
Remember this….Vlade could have signed him for more
How about 37.2 million for three years with 30 million guaranteed
His agent is good. I will give him that.
Good offensive first quarter, bad defensive first quarter.
The way the league is moving, we’ll look back one day and say this team’s defense was ahead of its time.
Meaning? In the future teams will play NO defense?
Prediction: Buddy doesn’t crack 30 pts.
After the first quarter:
The Good: It was entertaining watching the buckets fall
The Bad: The Hornets still scored 36 points…
Jeeze play some damn defense.
Hornets doing lay up drills.
I’m usually at spotting bad d but even I could see that goddamn
Attack the paint. This would be a good game to practice free throws
I hope Cojo isn’t getting so many minutes after the trade deadline. I also hope he’s on another team!
I hope he’s getting a ton of minutes…on another team.
CoJo can’t do shit…
Kings are just now taking their first free throws. They get no respect from the refs.
Meanwhile Melo had like 6 in the first quarter alone
Hornets defense has changed. They’ve made adjustments at the end of the 1st quarter.
CoJo, almost nine minutes no points, one foul, one to and one rebound
Fox doesn’t get enough hate for how bad and lazy his defense is. Fastest dude in the leauge just getting beat off straight line drives and doesn’t even try to recover. Really disappointed in him lately. So much so that I’m wondering if he’s injured.
He did take a lot of dirty “screens” during his hot streak. I doubt he is that hurt though. He needs to add more strength.
Our bench has 2 points to Charlotte’s 20 points so far
Kings shooting 60% and are losing. Constantly in awe at this Kings defense
And the announcers are blaming the offense ð
And it’s ok if you don”t agree but our announcers IDK…..suck?
So nice of De’Aaron to let his former teammate get an easy layup!
Not defending Fox since he’s part of the problem on defense too, but I think that was mostly him trying to avoid picking up his 3rd foul
True true
Jeffries at least trying to play some D.
OT: Woodard has been eating in the G-League. We might have found something good
Haven’t seen the G League bubble but the one thought that comes to mind is that Luke ain’t coaching him.
I’m perfectly fine with letting him continue to progress in G league right up until Luke is no longer coaching.
I feel the same. Especially in the Spurs system…
Yes seeing W2 do this has me wondering wtf Luke was doing this whole time.
I got flack for saying he should take GR3’s minutes. Only for GR3 to be waived a few weeks later lol. He looks like a potential steal.
Will out traditional 3rd quarter get the tank back on track?
Rozier doing his best Buddy imitation
I just looked up CoJo’s minutes and was feeling good and then Luke puts him in at the end of our traditionally worst quarter
Behold, the one good thing CoJo does this quarter
*game
this game*
Precisely
We’re not that good at the end of quarters
Buddy becomes the fastest player in NBA history to make a 1000 3 pointers in just 350 games according to Bleacher Report
A completely useless stat.
Oh my fucking god CoJo…
Really what’s the point of not giving Guy any minutes? Cojo is 0/3 with 1 reb, 1ast, and 1 to.
Makes no sense
CoJo tanking the game away. What a legend
Haliburton we miss you. Our Bench: 6 points Charlotte’s: 31 points
Belly gonna fuck up the tank
Despite the best efforts of CoJo to make this a 4 on 5 game
He is a 12.4 million dollar-a-year fringe NBA player. If you don’t like that, you don’t like Kangz basketball.
Good minutes from CoJo? Draper is drunk.
Cojo has as many points as Woodard in tonight’s box score
Lol
Good energy from Holmes and Barnes.
Can Buddy finally start taking threes with his feet set?
LMAO Marvin Backley with the “foul”.
What a nice pick Washington was at 12 in 2019.
Barnes abusing Lamelo
HB+BH increasing stock price
WTF. we couldn’t have played like this all season?
Played like what?
HB putting it down with hurt
LaMelo just saved his career with that foul
This will be a flagrant 1
Did Doug and Kyle smoke a doobie at half-time? What’s the deal with their jokes about this ref?
Lmao Fox and Bagley missing all 4 FT’s to keep Charlotte in the game
Late tank starts engine
Tank complete. Good night
Free throws…shit four strait misses
Go Kangz!
Practice makes perfect keep shooting those free throws Kangz
Ball already getting Jordan-esque ref help.
Yep
Shouldn’t Fox be shooting 3 free throw? 2 shots for the initial shooting foul and 1 free throw for the flagrant 1. I don’t get it.
I think it’s 2 and the ball back
So basically flagrant 1 call resulted in us getting the ball back.
Charlotte would be wise to just foul Fox or Bagley whenever they touch the ball down the stretch here.
Hack a FoxBag
Quick grab CoJo we can’t let this opportunity go to waste #Fade4Cade
Kings really trying to prove they deserve in the top 5 of the lottery
There goes Buddy.
Under 30 points
Buddy’s back, trying to fuck up my prediction.
Welp, Buddy about to miss a bit of time
Lol or not
Come on Kings. Let’s loose this one!
Damn, PJ with 42 points
That’s your power forward
Kings losing this would be hilarious
Welp, it happened!
c’mon Charlotte win it at the buzzer
Kings have missed about 6 FT in this final minute lol
LMAO KANGZ!
KANGZ
Wow
We’re going to get this one! Cleveland rocks
Fuck
That was PEAK KANGZ basketball there. Love how CoJo being dogshit on defense as usual and letting his man go right by him for the easy layup is what helped lose this. CoJo gonna lead the Kings to a top 5 pick
I feel so bad right after I jokingly commented quick grab CoJo for the tank: Buddy goes down, CoJo comes in, and gets torched for the game winner.
Damn wouldn’t it be cool to have Cade or Kuminga tho?
CoJo’s D is bad, but it’s also average for this team as a whole.
Beat LA!!!
Yep.
I get the players are holding themselves accountable and that’s great but…this shit don’t happen to good coaches. Luke Walton gotta go before next season.
I’m beginning to think Luke stays until next season’s ASB. I don’t think they want to pay him 2.5 years of vacation $.
I hate Walton as much as the next guy but I can’t pin the L on him. Make your FT’s and this shitshow collapse doesn’t happen.
Atrocious
If you’re not trying to tank, you have to
fire Walton
LOL. The years tick by, but the KANGZ are always a constant. One of their Kangziest for sure.
Lol!!!! No Hayward and Devonte. Still chokerama at the end. Holmes add on to the overall boneheadedness.
No Cody Zeller either ! Three of their top six out !
That’s some good shit right there
Remember folks, CoJo is here for his defense
I can’t even be mad. At least it was competitive. My favorite kind of losses. Lol
Wow. I love Fox but when your PG shoots 68% from the line, it’s inexcusable.
It’s ridiculous. His FT % is getting worse each year. They were up 8 with 1:13 to go and Fox at the line for 2 with the Kings getting the ball due to the flagrant and he clanks both FT’s to start that shitshow collapse
So is his soft D !
Is McNair going to do something about this squad? Will Walton make changes in the lineup? Losing 10 of 11 and there’s been no adjustments whatsoever.
My feelings:
One step closer to blowing it up and a full rebuild. Hopefully McNair’s the man for the job.
Major gag job down the stretch !
Name checks out
Another two hours of my life wasted. Thanks Kings.
Cojo is junkyard d but missing them free throws killed us smh.
He and the rest of the team.
The Kings are now the Clippers from the 80’s-90’s.
After the Fix and Bagley 4 in a row missed free throws I got the giggles. I could feel it coming.
I lean pro-tank, but that was just pathetic!
Missed free throws that’s why we lost.
yuh think?
I remember one night when I was like 21 and I still lived at my parents. I discovered weed. And I looked forward to getting high in my room and watching my shitty basketball team play. I thought about how shitty they had always been. I turned 45 last week and nothing has changed
Well at least you moved out of your parents house.
Lol true! Life has improved dramatically on all fronts. The kings have not
something has changed.
it’s legal now!
i onlly we can make Kangz lllegal…
The only thing that excites me about tonight is that we are closer to a top five pick.
The organization will find some way to screw that up too.
Other than the Boogie and Fox picks, the Kings have whiffed on all their picks for the last 14 years
To be a winner you have to hate losing more than you like winning. We need a dog to light a fire here to change this culture. Monte engage-make it so
Kayte talking about the heavy minutes and how they’re warn out…blah blah blah.
I went to my car to get something. Kings were up by 7 with 52 seconds left. I came back to see the final score. It was pure comedy.
Honestly though. Fuck these guys. As humans I’m sure they are fine. As a professional basketball team they can go ahead and fuck right off. I’m. WAAAY better at my job than these guys are
