Keon’s not starting. Two strong games in a row are not good enough for MB.
He will probably still play ~25 minutes or so.
If he does his weird DNP CDs again then he has lost it. Let’s go Kings!
Keon D > Kvon O
Let’s see if they can get get Huerter some set shots tonight. He seems to shoot a lot of his 3s running off the DHO.
Goooooooo Kings!
Huerter starting? Sigh.
Fucking refs early today
How the fuck is that not a foul?
What in the F^%$ was the Shit? Sabonis was fouled like 7 times right there.
Are they calling fouls or not tonight? I am confused now
JFC are they going to let Brunson just run into people all game and give him the call?
Shitty ref calls and Brown not running with Keon to start is incredible. What’s so scary to Brown having Huerter come off the bench with his below average defense and good shot when working?
Get Huerter out of there.
Right? He’s got to good assists, but yeah…
Been an ugly game so far
Knicks continue to get weak calls.
The refs are totally biased to New York per Aam Silver
Anunoby is overrated
So glad the Kings didn’t trade the farm for him.
Keon makes an immediate impact! Yes!
Bring in Keon to play bully ball on Brunson.
Brunson just scored, but Keon took him out the play before that.
I saw. I feel like Ellis Island might not be the right nickname ???? but we need one.
Let’s go boys….LTFB. Should be a good test tonight
Davion is a sick, sick man.
The defense looks infectious.
Domas cannot be stopped!
Ball pressure!
I was watching the Warriors and Achers game… Looks Like Dominat-us Sabonis is doing stuff.
Terrible pass by Monk
Monk is going to need to step up his game.
Neither Barnes nor Monk wanted to get back on D after that missed three by Keon?
Jeeze. That’s not even a foul on Hart.
looked like Keegan hit the ball.
do the Knicks not have a backup PG on the roster?
McBride?
he defends point guards. not sure he plays pg on offense.
The Knicks are very good at knocking the ball out of players hands in the paint.
So I guess the refs know there are two other teams playing right now too and one of those has to lose…. therefore.
Damn the ref just three that ball that rolled onto the floor like three rows back. What a jerk.
Did Keon just rattle Bogdanovic?
I got a family of four in front of me, dad with three kids all under ten. At every mention of Pride Night, the three little kids stand up and boo with thumbs down.
What a world.
That must be a fun household, yikes.
Please don’t let Burks get hot.
Kings D can make some playoffs noise
OT… I just need some answers so forgive me for my ignorance lol
There’s 2 dudes who seem to be at every home game that I really just can’t put my fingers on who they are.
First is a bald white guy who looks stoned, kind of looks like Rick from pawn stars? Usually front row.
2nd is a black dude who is super iced out, always behind the kings bench. Always decked out in kings gear
It’s been bugging me not being able to figure out who they are
I noticed the Pawn Stars look a like too, lol.
That’s Rick from Pawn Stars! Kidding, he looks like Rick but it’s a different guy that sells cannabis. LOL.
I must have seen him on Instagram or something. I’ve definitely seen him before it’s been bugging the hell out of me lol
Shoot you guys just reminded me what I forgot on my shopping list today.
Hilarious lol that dude is so stoned man living a good life
Damn…let Keon play some defense refs!
Air ball for Huerter. We’re going to need a 15 point quarter from Fox.
And put Ellis on Brunson already.
Brunson is annoying to watch.
Yeah he hits a three to go up by one and he flashes a three to the crowd? Alright dude.
He may annoy to you but I think he’s a hell of a player. That’s never annoying to me. “For the love of the game”
Not discounting his talent, just his demeanor.
He’s not as arrogant as Curry so he’s got that going for him.
It’s the head to dread ratio. Screaming fetal alcohol syndrome.
Think about how annoyed you’d be watching him if you were a Mavericks fan
did anyone bet the under?
Dude that Precious wrap around is a blatant foul.
It’s ridiculous the no calls Domas has to play through every game
Brunson getting super star calls tonight. WTF?
Ref 91 is hot garbage.
refs are letting the Knicks two hand grab/shove the defender on every pick
It takes 3 fouls for the refs to call 1 against the Knicks.
Kings need to make some adjustments to win this game but the officiating has been trash. If that doesn’t change, they have no shot.
This has been the worst officiated game that I can remember.
One of the worst, if not the worst, of the season so far.
Hartenstein should have fouled out by now. They are so blatant and not being called.
I watched a lot of that other game and the refs were letting Lebron get away with everything… It was actually sickening…. they still lost.
I fell like Len was viben when he was out there…. Trust him and let him get more burn next half
Crazy to think that the Kings have shot more than twice as many free throws as the Knicks. The officiating has still be very inconsistent and the Knicks are still getting away with more physical play.
It’s interesting to see these games with teams you don’t see much if you don’t have league pass and the cross conference play is definitely a thing.
Need 3s to drop 2nd half
Brunson is the best basketball player to ever play the game…. ever!
Cripes, try Duarte or Edwards on Brunson.
Double him and make someone else beat you. Got try something different
flagrant on Hart
flagrant one
can’t believe Hart is even arguing it
Fox simply can’t disappear from games like this. It’s unacceptable. This is a preview for the playoffs.
Finals matchup!
My thoughts exactly!
Refs aren’t calling obvious fouls like elbows and stuff so Kings need to bring it. with HB
final score 73 to 72 in overtime.
Fox gets mad. We all know what happens next.
Ok Kings. I like the fight in you. Keep it up.
Coach Brown exposing the refs as corrupt… more!
Kyle Draper said “heat check time” while Divincenzo was shooting
KH has 0 points and he’s still in the game.
Unbelievable……Coach Brown scores again on the challenge
Let HB expose
Fox pissed
Damn DiVincenzo has ups!
Knicks are short rimming it
Tough game!
This game is a dogfight. Hartenstein fouling like it’s a summer league game.
Just so everyone is on the same page right now…. The NBA/Refs literally want the Kings to lose this game.
$$$ they on the take
Hart should be kicked off the court
I can see it going to OT
The reffing in this game is downright suspicious.
You mean malicious.
HAHAHA WTF?
The refs gave LeBron Carte Blanche and the LA team lost… now…. This game.
So happy that Keegan 3 swished.
Len in the game like 20 seconds and got a loose ball and fouled.
Every time Coach Brown sends out Len instead of JaVale I smile
Bogdanovic looks like he aged five years each quarter. By game’s end, he’ll be collecting Social Security.
I have to say the Knicks transition defense is great.
This game feels like NBA street ball compared to the normal version of how a game is reffed. Wish they would hold a standard across the league. I just know Sabonis could have a mean elbow in this version as retribution to getting slapped 10 times in a row.
pushing is allowed
Elbows all the time… lol I love it
Exactly. Brunson has pushed off all night.
I can’t recall the last time I saw the refs lets a guy throw his shoulder as much as Brunson is doing so tonight.
Someone needs to knock Brunson on his ass
How in the hell did Dallas ever let this guy go?
Same reason Vlade picked the wrong guy.
Yes please.
It’s ok…. We all know the refs are corrupt… just accept it… you have to play the other team and the refs especially when it’s Burkes…. Brunson and Hartenstein
Fox and Brunson are going head to head? Um….not really.
Hartenstien traveled.
He sure did. instant rec
And hooked domas, and used his office arm to swat away domas defense
This is bullshit.
Get that laptop out again coach brown
Whatever Kayte…
Robbed.
We lost, but this was a terrible officiated game. Brunson is a beast.
“This game told me more about the Kings than any other game this season.” – Kayte (Give me a break)
Thank you Lord…. If the Kings would have won this game I don’t think the NBA exists tomorrow.
WTF is wrong with the NBA?
The NBA announced that they’re making fewer calls after the AS break. Is this the new normal? There were a few games officiated like this last season where you just sensed someone was going to get hurt or a fight would break out because the refs lets so much go.
Great game…. I release all of my comments to the Kings Herald please use everything you need for the upcoming stories.
17 points in the 4th won’t get it done. Nasty, nasty game. Brunson outclassed Fox tonight. Keon does stuff Huerter can never do. Kings had a chance at the end but didn’t execute. I wish AI reffed that game. Half the Knicks would’ve fouled out.
Fox was a little disappointing. He got to the line, but his FG% was bad and he wasn’t aggressive enough. Almost like this was a scheduled loss. It will be fun to watch Brunson loose in the first round.
I like NBA basketball
If you’d told me we’d hold the Knicks to 98, I’d have said Great.
The whistle heard around the world.
This was one loss I didn’t mind. I love Brunson. Those F-ing Knicks just out played us.As someone below just said how did the Mavs let Brunson walk, why on earth did they try to lowball him?
The positive I took away from Coach Brown’s presser is that I believe that Keon is going to see a lot more minutes and that Huerter has played his way into the bench.
” Those fucking Knicks just out played us” Nope!
BlueJohn likes another team/// I can tell by the double spacing.
