GO GO Kings! Mike Brown Revenge Game v2.0
We finally don’t suck! Hooray!
You were saying?
You crack me up. You’ve already given up on the Kings twice before when they later came back to win, so why not go for a triple?
You were saying?
Honestly, have a little heart.
I hope we don’t blow this game, go Kings!
Alright I need a win by 20
Murray beaten twice already in the paint
Can’t defend against guards
Good time out
A lot of Keegan’s mistakes have been from seemingly careless decision making with the ball
Kings can’t hit a 3 but Domas dominating to make up for things so far
His physicality, rebounding and passing create unique problems for opposing teams. It’s always nice when you have a player that has a skillset which stands out even at the highest level.
Jeeze….come on Kings.
This crew letting these teams play physical. I’m good with it
Shots not falling but Kings are head and shoulders better than this G-League team
Agreed, but they still don’t have that speed and edge they had against Cleveland. They need get energized and put the Lakers to bed early.
Kings are getting a ton of open 3’s, just not hitting them.
With the Kings luck, this is the game the Lakers actually hit their 3’s for once while the Kings can’t hit any. Keep getting good looks…gotta think they’ll eventually start falling for Sacramento
Lakers already 4/8 and the Kings 2/13 smh
Westbrook is hilarious
Lakers are truly terrible. If the Kings can just start hitting their open 3’s this game won’t be close.
R u forgetting they can’t guard anything or anybidy
Wake up Fox!
LAkers really hitting their 3’s are you kiddin me
Kings are 3 for 16 from three
Close game no matter who the Kings play.
WTF Kings?
I’m staying patient. This may be close through the 2nd, but these shots are going to start falling in the second half and it’ll be a blowout.
The Kings defense isn’t good either.
I refuse to believe this Lakers team is gonna keep shooting this well from 3 while the Kings continue to shoot under 20% from 3. The fact they are only down 3 despite all this has me not too worried….yet
Get Domas back in there
Don’t like the feel of this game.
3/18 from 3PT
What a shooting shit show this is.
Damn. Was looking forward to this game.
Fox needs to step up. Been invisible this half
This is some garbage. terrible.
starting guards
keegan Murray at this point is garbage and you better hope there is a reason for it
Read my mind. I disagree on KM though.
Murray is garbage? He’s at +2 and hasn’t taken a shot. There is plenty more garbage than him.
KANGZ
Man F this damn garbage team.
Oh God it’s the Kangz
They really gonna play like this after their best win of the season huh? Classic KANGZ
Sigh. Every time I gain the slightest bit of confidence in this team they throw it back in my face
This team is so frustrating to watch.
Team goes as Fox goes and he’s had a truly terrible half
Fox. What the fuck!!!!!!
Can’t hit a shot and can’t stop making stupid passes. Get your shit together
LOL
We really, really need a rim protector.
2 straight 3’s for Huerter. Hopefully he’s heating up
Damn, have shooters shoot the ball!
and no lousy passes
Weakkkkkkkkkkkkkk dddddd
LMAO TALK TO ‘EM HUERTER
Heurter gets nailed by Westbrook.
Refs letting these teams play physical but then handing out quick techs lol
You gotta love Kevin Huerter
He should of rocked the baby back at Russ.
Nah, no need to stoop down to Westbricks level
Fox three soon. Showed up on fantasy before he took it.
I see you Foxy
Thank god they finished the quarter strong. I’ll take a 4 point deficit at half with how poorly they played. Just clean shit up and start hitting your open 3’s and they’ll blitz past this Lakers team in the 2nd half
I think the refs and Westbrook have lit a fire under the Kings ass just before the half. They’re gonna stew in there while Mike Brown maps out the Lakers demise. The Huerter tech feels like a rallying point.
Let’s hope!
That sounds about right. The Kings missed a ton of shots and are only down by four. The only advantage they have is AD, and he can only make so many shots from his wheelchair.
Hey y’all they’ve still got a whole half to play. Stop acting like we’re already blowing the 3rd quarter and we’re down by 20 haha
Yes, keep in mind that the Fakers are terrible . Should be obvious in 3rd .
Murray needs to find other ways to contribute when his shot is not falling, i.e. rebounding and better defense. When his shot is not falling he seems to be a liability out there.
Pretty hard for his shots to fall when he hasn’t taken one!
He leads the team in +/- without taking a shot. Not everything is shown in the boxscore.
I’m just going off of what I’m seeing.
Kings -5 for the 2nd half. Easy money
A TO out of halftime….ugh.
and it was a good play too. Domas just couldn’t corral that Huerter pass cleanly
Domas playing great
Murray is damn near invisible tonight
Was hoping the last game got him going again but it’s back to being pretty much a ghost out there. 0 boards in 17+ minutes is a bigger concern for me than the lack of offense
Dominating the +/- though.
happenstance, been blank garbage
Who?
Keegan with more fouls than shots taken and rebounds combined.
The kings may be able to get away with this against bad teams like the lakers. However against good teams they can’t afford to have a player playing that many minutes and be totally unproductive.
As of right now, they aren’t getting away with it. Playing to the level of their opponent will not end well.
Crap, 4 fouls for Domas
Shocked they aren’t playing deeper defense and letting the Lakers shoot more threes.
Metu still cant play. It puts Richauns lack of productivity in focus
Wouldn’t mind a look at Richaun this game. His physicality could take advantage of a small and unskilled frontcourt.
Keegan’s production of late is very concerning. Starting to see why so many experts had Ivey over him.
He’s too passive
Meanwhile, Mathurin looks like a stud
From where I’m sitting it’s all mental with him right now. He might’ve just had that first “oh shit I gotta suit up against HOFers and produce” moment, paired with his shot not going down, I think he’s suffering from imposter syndrome. Confidence is shot. He’s no longer aggressive and feels uncertain with his positioning/decision on making cuts, passing, and defense.
Metu is so bad man. Holmes lack of production hurts so much
More guys than anticipated not contributing much this year.
Took Monk about 4-5 games to find his groove, took Barnes until last game to finally get things going.
get the rebound clowns. how many times have we said that tonight?
Drives me nuts when they just fix the camera on things OTHER than the actual game going on. Legit had to watch Anthony Davis face, then Lebron’s…all while 13 seconds went off the shot clock on this Kings possession before finally getting back to the action
Why cant we have one easy win?!
So . . . how many points do the Kings win by?
11
I was gonna say 4-6, but I like it.
Losing to the Lakers without Lebrun. This team has a long way to go before they even think they’re a playoff team.
Not over yet.
There you go Keegan!
Let’s go!
Get Domas in now, and please play Len ahead of Metu
I had no idea Monk’s passing was this good
Fox treating Reaves like Kahwi treated Bmac
Lakers 9/18 from 3PT because of course
get Metu out. they are shooting over him every time. turnover
This is one of the worst defensive games I’ve ever seen
This Kings team needs to take a long look at themselves. This is pathetic.
We’re getting beat by Austin freakin Reaves!!!! ????
Lakers getting to the rim too easily
5 fouls for Domas and the Lakers with just 1 team foul with barely over 4 minutes left in the 4th. Yikes
You were expecting different from 8v5
Can the Kings stop the Lakers then make a basket just one more time?
for the love of god get a stop
Also, when they do, secure the rebound please
If Myles Turner is being shopped, I hope McNair takes a long hard look.
For Holmes and…?
Holmes and barnes
And what does the forward rotation look like without HB?
This version of Fox is absolutely insane at the offensive end. I almost don’t care about his defense – there should be 4 other guys for that.
Westbrook looking like a Steph. What the??
it’s disturbing
That stat about the Kings not giving up a ton of open 3’s but teams shooting their best % regardless. You’d expect regression at some point but even the damn Lakers are shooting the 3 ball well tonight.
This game has been zero fun.
Lakers really shooting 50% from 3PT
FOX IS THAT GUY!
Regardless of record, Fox better be in the ASG this season.
Fun game.
Holy shit, Fox
Thank Everything for Fox!
Fox doing it himself my goodness
Doing what a superstar is expected to do. Take over when the team needs it. He’s starting to elevate his play to another level. Cool to see.
That shot by Fox was a… no, no, no…YES!
Not when he’s cookin like he was
The death blow.
Not. Yet.
No, it was over when he hit that shot.
It isn’t over until the clock reads zero. Which it does now thank goodness.
Ok I was wrong about Fox. Turn the sprinkler systems on Deaaron Fox is on fireeee!!
Play defense, grab the board, and hit your FT’s and get out of here
This.
Lakers finally missing their 3’s now these last 20 seconds lol
Srsly? They called a jammed ball on that?
Fantastic Mr. Fox
