Could we see some NY Bricks?
Thanks Greg, I didn’t participate last game because I was just lost in the new forum, but thanks for returning to familiar territory. Go Kings!
Hey, I’m excited to see some Kings basketball and have Hali make Knicks fans wish they got him.
Not a huge fan of these jerseys.
Yup, they’re awful.
Doug is already exhausting and Coach is already struggling with his mask.
Kings basketball!!
Lol
I actually enjoy Doug Christie. He’s also one of my favorite Kings of all time. We also happen to share the same birthday lol. I just admire his knowledge of the game but I get that not everyone is a fan.
Otis pause live TV twenty seconds on mute, listen to KHTK app.
the Kings didn’t pay their shot clock bill
Shot clock decided to end the game now before Kings give up 120
Fox looks good!
he looks closer to that max player
I have to say these jerseys are growing on me. Pretty sure they are why we are currently winning!
i decided im getting a Hali city jersey.
I just ordered the black Hoodie with the Lion/Ball design and Sactown on the sleeve. It’s in the city colors, pretty stoked.
did you get me one
METUUUUU
Obi Toppin sighting.
Buddy is just non-existent
I dont see him as a King next season but I just hope we can get a decent return
He’s not even looking for his shot tonight..should come off the bench, maybe he’s just thrown in the towel.
Haliiiii
gotta love some cojo….
the kings love giving teams second chance points
You get a putback, you get a putback
you can tell bagley’s wrist is hurting he didn’t even know how to grab Fox’s hand to get picked up after that charge
Is it the right or left wrist?
left..you saw him hesitate on that drive as well
it’s seriously impacting his play. He should not be in the game
yea all those put backs looked horrible
he’s afraid to dunk it because that’s how he injured it.
Bagley won’t be back in the second half
nevermind
Bagley is a complete liability on both ends of the floor.
That’s my Bagley.
lol that wrist isnt helping things at all
lol neither is the arm, legs, or head
Ha ha. Burton pissed off Haliburton and he responded with a pick 6, then blocked him.
And then swished a 3
love it
Time to start the rookie.
Tyrese is taking things into his own hands…love it.
Bagley shouldn’t be in the game and I cannot believe this is the same basketball team that had some semblance of competence at the beginning of the season. They’re so hard to watch on defense.
call him orange julius
Ok that Bagley hook was beautiful
i was surprised
I started watching the game at that exact moment. From what I have seen so far, Bags is playing well (because he’s playing within the flow of the offense!).
I have a theory that DC jinxes everything whenever he talks. If he says getting to the line will help Fox, then Fox will immediately brick the free throw.
Fox IS a free throw brick…he doesn’t need a jinx
i think you might be missing the point
move your feet buddy! move your feet! (buddy allows a shot at the rim)
LMFAO
No, I get it, one of the worst color commentators in the league.
Hey, I love Christie
I watch a lot of other teams’ broadcast crews, and I can safely say that Doug is about league average. Trust me, you’d rather hear Doug than those two guys on the Warriors… Disgusting.
If Doug is league average the league sucks.
Yes! I forgot to mention that as well haha. Doug is pretty bad. Especially since we had years of Grant and Jerry; we got spoiled.
The only color guy I listen to is Alaa Abdelnaby and he’s phenomenal, so I suppose my expectations are high.
Disgusting is the correct word for those warriors announcers
I was watching the Jason Ross and Doug podcast and I think DC actually commented on the fact that he jinxes the team at times.
at least he’s got a little self awareness
LOL “ball don’t lie,” then Noel wins the tip
Memo to Doug and whoever….you dont have to try to one up the other with a nickname or a slang term or the ever present tired cliche. I do appreciate the analysis until they become homers.
HARRISON BARNES TRIPLE DOUBLE WATCH
When is the last time a King has had a triple double?
Demarcus Cousins? lol
probably boogie
Or maybe it was HB…
Fox had a triple double against the Hawks in 2018. Ty Lawson also had one in 2017. Stats here.
this seems like kind of a big deal:
Yeah it’s a big deal. That would affect the Kings and the A’s and the Giants and the Sharks.
Kayte and Ham are both NBCSN employees
I mean this would affect most of Northern Calif. They got to have a back up plan.
Metu is impressive
Trade Bagley
Metu has a much better BBIQ than Bagley
I thought the same thing after he set that screen. Like, he set a solid screen. Haven’t seen a Kings player do that in a while.
Right before that timeout, RJ Barrett is dribbling and then Fox just jumps to his side defensively giving him a clear path. I assume he was trying to force Barrett to use his off hand, but shouldn’t there be a compromise where you stay in front but lead them one way rather than giving them a clear path?
I was just thinking that the Kings might keep an opponent under 100…
Is it tank time for high pick and fire Walton
Both
There are 5 priorities now. All 5 are fire Walton.
TIL: Thibs coaches the Knicks.
Almost 65% online tonight
Move him up from the line with the bullet
Hali has scored in the second half, but has done so much off the ball it’s incredible.
And just as I say that he drains a three
Ordering my Hali jersey tonight
As a Kings fan I’d be ecstatic if my player was 10/11 from the foul line. Thanks for that jinx anyway Mark
If a person only watched Kings games, they’d think 70% FT shooting would be Hall of Fame worthy.
One night after annihilating the Warriors they lose to Us lool
Hali….that is all
Haliburton is the MVP tonight…the kid did it all.
Say it with you bank account…buy a city jersey…
I’ll be buying a jersey, but it definitely won’t be one of those abominations. I didn’t think they could get worse than the red, but I’ll be damned if Nike bottomed it.
Gotta love the defense tonight. However, Thibs has never been known for breaking down a poor defense with his offense. I’ll give the Kings the nod with a asterisk.
gotta libation witcha ya? Yeah, or three.
I thought it was funny lol
I’m going to say it again, now that Barnes is playing well, it’s time to move off his contract for his sake and ours. He should be in a playoff atmosphere. I want to win with our youth, not non timeline vets
i want to win with non timeline vets
We should be in the playoff atmosphere. I’d prefer we move Buddy & Bagley as well. Barnes is trying to win now…sometime. I’ll take Barnes’ heart and effort over those two any day. The losing mentality or that tanking shit has stop. Everyone knows the next 2 drafts are pretty stacked. Possibly several HOFs. Understandable. The current players may not be the best, but they still are professional athletes and should be held accountable. If the expectation isn’t to be elite and win every night, then dismantle the team and sale to a city and owner that wants to win. Sacramento should not be synonymous with losing or tanking. That’s insanity. Losing doesn’t have room for the Kings anymore “Monte”. It’s going on 15 years!! And I wasn’t even thrilled about our last playoff appearance either. Seattle smoked us 4-2. Ray Allen showed up.
When we play with effort and tenacity, we are hard to beat. With that said, our defense is horrible and it’s time to shake things up…by firing Walton primarily. Walton might be one of the worst coaches I’ve ever seen.
Woohoo! We held them under 100!
When does the fourth quarter start?
1-0 when holding teams under 100!
lol doug looks like such a nerd
Hey we don’t do that here
13 blocked shots. 1 turnover in 2nd half. Good 3rd quarter on both ends of the court.
ããªãã«ãã³!!!!!!!!
Nice win!
Burt is the MAN!!!
I have a win.
?itemid=4089575
Please trade Barnes/Hield by Wednesday. We need to get this Tank back on track. We can’t afford a winning streak of 2 at this juncture.
Don’t worry, Buddy is definitely not going to be a guy who stops a tank.
