I believe Kayte may have just said “Lebron has never been a load management guy”.
I’m thinking what Kayte meant was that personally doesn’t like load management but when his coach ordered him take some games off here and there he had no choice, the coach is the boss and we all know how well LeBrown obeys the coaching staff. Yep, I think that’s what she meant……..Uh huh, sure
How did LBJ not get a T for grabbing the ball like that and barking at the ref?
Lebron is the biggest whiner in the game
Kings are always playing from behind…sure sign of a loser.
Len, continuing to contribute nothing.
I popped into say hello because misery loves company.. oh and the kings announcer is horrific.. he try’s way too hard … he made the quote that said “his transcendence is so routine that sometimes it becomes invisible”.. I would probably watch more of this horrendous team if we had better people calling the games, Grant Napier may have been a total douche nozzle but at least he called a good game
This broadcast crew has a laundry list of faults, but Peaches was just as guilty of trotting out the same 15 catchphrases and tags on a nightly basis. I’m not a fan of this group, but I don’t miss his tired shtick in the least.
I do…to each his own
Grant far surperior !
I miss Grant and Jerry
Unpopular comment for this blog but Kayte is doing her job. She’s paid to be positive and be a homer, she probably doesn’t 100% believe some of things she says but it her job to be positive.
I don’t mind Kayte, it is just the tool Kyle Draper
^Mark Jones not Draper… Perfect example “the kings with great Lucid awareness”..which doesn’t really work, especially since lucid awareness refers to dreaming…
This might be the worst broadcast duo in the history of professional sports. Seriously.
A fiery ferocious finish..smdh..
never will be an elite player in the league unless you make your freethrows
Shit defense by Hali on Reeves.
Lakers getting calls every possession.
Why hasn’t Gentry played Queta?
He apparently prefers getting next to nothing from our C position when Holmes is out.
Holmes was giving us next to nothing as well.
Because he gave some of us fans a glimmer of happiness… and that is forbidden
Kings bench production pretty much nonexistent tonight.
Kings roster production is non existent
So is their effort
We need MARTY to make a sticker similar to the Joe Biden one pointing at the gas prices saying “I did that”, except it would be Vivek Smiling and pointing at our win loss record or that we haven’t made the playoffs in 15 years saying “I did that”
I seriously think they may be more Lakers fans in attendance than Kings fans.
You there? It certainly sound like it on the broadcast
No, but nothing but Laker fans behind the halftime crew. Sad.
Yes, the halftime crew is pretty sad.
As it should be unfortunately.
Kings are not worth the price of parking.
Sad that it has come to this.
Hield is really tearing it up tonight, 1-4, 2 points.
Getting the run out of the way before they bring it hard in the third…..
Well, at least Queta got in for 48 seconds.
He got some quality seconds.
This team is a joke but, it would be so nice to see them actually try to win a game.
I’d be happy if they can at least take the lead
you got it
What’s going on? We’re winning?
Buddy hasn’t gotten into the game yet this half.
Here we go, the turnover machine.
Hope he doesn’t shoot the Lakers back in the game and we all know the Lakers are going to put him in the pick and roll.
Fox needs to get pissed more often.
1 day tank break? I’m down with that. Fuck the Fakers
Damn you hope….Let’s go Kings! Beat LA.
10-0 Kings run mid-game… I’ve forgotten what those looked like….
15-0 kings run…. Not sure I believe my eyes.
But please stop calling this a rivalry. Our only rivals is the G league ignite
Second biggest rivalry is themselves.
For three minutes this game has been worth watching….l
How long can they do this?
Fuck the L@&#*s and FUCK LBJ
That WebEx commercial is just awful, and gets even worse with age.
No defense….
No real strategy….
Play fast and out of control….
Has to work at least once in a decade.
LETS GO
Did Bagley dunk without going down for three months?
Gentry having a pleasant moment with Buddy
I wonder what Hield and Gentry were arguing about.
Buddy wants to play point guard. Gentry wants to win.
Vivek was yelling to Gentry who yelled to Buddy to cherry pick.
Ah….. the old reliable kick the dog
Pass ahead Davion!!!
Hopefully Lakers come back and win
Davion Rebound
Davion Assist
Davion Steal
Davion Block
Nice way to spend 30 seconds to end the quarter!
58 to 30 paint points advantage Sac. That’s always a winning formula.
And Bagley didn’t get hurt in the process.
Been that kinda night for Sac.
Wow, we won a third quarter.
Davion has 3 steals and 2 blocks. I rather enjoy how this young man plays basketball.
Raise your hand if you had the Kings outscoring the **** by 17 in the 3rd.
Nice pass kid
Are the guards actually playing defense?
Need Fox back in there. Why wait?
Anyone feel comfortable with this lead?
I honestly don’t care.
I do. I picked Sacramento in the fan predictions. I Need that point!
Ah. A worthwhile goal to be sure. If you care about such things.
No fucking way.
Last couple of offensive possessions are quite forgettable.
Going to get beat by some kid deep on the bench……..,
Probably. I don’t think we have the firepower to hold these guys off.
His name is Metu
Haliburton is too smart for this team. They don’t know what to do when he is running the game and making good decisions.
Barnes must have read the story about him today.
Wow, a foul called on LeBosley?
Spoke too soon. Refs trying so hard to give this away.
Bagley!!!! Hahahahahaha
Keeping the tank engines warm….
Dude is getting hammered and Kayte had to shut up or get fined by the league
Bagley again, gets stripped, twice.
Those were both fouls.
Maybe, but still not a good look.
He was fouled multiple times on both possessions, that is what is not the good look, not the narrative.
He is the softest player in the NBA. Refs know it
That’s utter bullshit. It was because it was LeBron.
That is BS indeed. It was James AND shitty reffing. Shitty.
And the Lakers were crying about the refs all night. Says alot right there.
It is bullshit. The reality of LBJ vs Bagley. What should anyone expect?
I expect what happened to happen. Doesn’t mean I have to agree with it.
Neither do I.
Bagley is the only one who can change it. Zero credibility with the refs because he is so soft they expect him to get abused.
Surrealistic.
Good game calling by professionals that are well trained, well compensated and there are three of them on the floor to call the game with a tv backup. It’s embarrassing.
Every referee in the leagues calls it the same away when it is LBJ vs Bagley. That is reality. Sucks but it is true.
It remains embarrassing. Every basketball fan on the planet sees it. And, no not every referee calls it that way. This crew was shitty. Top to bottom.
Kings won. Did you notice that?
Down to 2…..what a surprise
Metu with a 3……what a surprise
Metu is efficient
Bagley was fouled three times down in the paint. Just shitty reffing.
Lebron ain’t getting called for that.
It was James and two other fouls, take your pick. Really shitty no call.
I agree it was a crummy ass call. But that’s how it works in the NBA. I wish it didn’t.
Really pure Shitty reffing. That crew should be ashamed. Babies don’t want to yelled at by LeBron. What a complete sham.
On a par with the Bagley no call was the complete wrap around foul of Len by Reaves and his flop to the ground. A high school ref can make that call. They did the opposite and choked up a fur ball. Horrible.
MEZIE 4 TREE!!!!!!!!
Metu sighting….
whoever traded for Westbrick should be fired immediatelyunless it was Lebron
It absolutely was James. Stupid move.
LeBron and Davis
James and Russell.
Vivek will think the Kings are right there.
So will Monte. Ugh.
Never had a doubt….always a pleasure to see the Kings take down the Lakers!
Kings with an imperious win. Imperious_.. assuming power or authority without justification; arrogant and domineering. Mark Jones
Improbable win? Impressive win?
An improbable impressive win over the Extraordinary and impossible impervious will of king James and his desire to elevate and win.
Marv is probably out for a month. Not that I care
Better without him.
I thought Bagley had a very good game tonight.
He played well all night.
He did.
Didn’t do anything horrible and he put up average numbers. Very positive game for Bagley.
Likely hurt though. Better without him because as whole he is a shit player.
The kings would not have won without his contribution.
Others may have different mileage.
I agree. Three or four times in his career he has contributed to a win.
You like Bagley we get it.
In all seriousness…is he hurt again?
I don’t like him or dislike him. I want to see the Kings win. I don’t make comments to fit a narrative. We get it.
Nothing has come out in the post game about him being hurt. It didn’t look good. Two consecutive possessions he was fouled with hard swipes. I hope he plays in the next game. So, get whatever you want. Doesn’t make any difference to me. He got fouled. Had nothing to do with him being soft as you said.
He almost had a double double. He got fouled. Every time he goes against LBJ he is also going against the entire NBA officials staff. That is the reality. To this point Marvin isn’t crying about it.
Maybe he has grown up?
Hope he isn’t hurt. If he is hurt he has absolutely no trade value. Time to move on.
You said he was a shit player so trade value shouldn’t be a worry.
He can traded for someone when he is healthy. Nobody when he is hurt. Bad enough as it is when he is healthy. Horrible of the Kings end up letting him walk for nothing.
Bagley had a good game. No way around that.
It happens.
He is definitely due a decent game finally.
There is no such thing as “being due.” It doesn’t exist in statistics or the real world.
Been in the league for almost four years. About time he did something. He was due.
No such thing.
He had a good game.
Ok.
So in four years the probability of him scoring 16 points in a game and not getting hurt shouldn’t be higher than what his actual statistics are?
70 to 42 paint points advantage Sac.
