Davion stole some cookies.
Metu gets the call …
Above average offense and below average defense . Keep making threes and finding Domas .
Metu’s gonna have a Neemy style game tonight: 5/5 all on dunks
So weird that Metu is getting the call tonight and Holmes is now riding the bench.
Welcome to the..
Metu does seem to be quite the dichotomy for this “teams”
#metu
Metu has earned the backup spot to Domas since Holmes can’t seem to figure it out. Brown should stick with Metu until there is a better option
What if we just gave Lyles the 24-30 backup frontcourt minutes a game? I like him as the small ball 5, he shoots and moves the ball well, and he’s more consistent than Metu. Why not just give him, Sabonis and Barnes all 96 at the 4/5?
I was driving home listening to the G-Man and the High Flyer and Mr. Turner said. “Banchero has a nice body.” …………….. I tend to agree.
Kings guards force so many illegal screens each game.
None of the charges or moving picks that Davion draws get counted in the box score and yet they are turnovers all the same
How did Gary Harris get that offensive rebound between Fox, Barnes and Keegan?
Fox went to contest the shot. Keegan needs to go and get that board there.
The Kings just totally self-destructing until that Barnes 3.
It’s a great time for Fox to get to the FT line.
Instead of shooting air ball threes. Or Barnes…lol.
Barnes be like….. “And you are?”
Barnes is so focused tonight
This could be the highest scoring game ever.
Kings getting pretty erratic this quarter but HB is trying to settle things down for them
Mo Bamba sighting
I’m gonna miss HB when he’s inevitably gone by next season
Damn Banchero has 3 steals
We need Bamba!
Nawmba!
That Murray 3 right after Banchero’s was beautiful to watch
K33GAN!
Murray showing some flex after that last three?
While the offense from Keegan is great, his other areas are lacking at the moment lol
The Kings were long overdue for a stomping like this.
Is that guy Sabonis just ate alive in the post gonna fix our rim protection problems?
He looks like a backup center on a 22-win team.
You know he really does. Everything being equal I’d rather see Mason Plumlee backing up Domas
I was actually pro Bamba (ba dum tss) until this game. We need a physical force in the interior. Plumlee is at least that, and he can set the picks and make the reads in the offense.
Can’t think of too many other guys that are available that’d do as good of a job for 12 minutes a game, but I’m open to suggestions.
Give this HB an extension!
mo bamba is not making a compelling case for himself as a trade target tonight.
been awhile since we saw any production like this from the two forward spots.
Kings needed a game like this after this recent stretch they’ve been on. Got to beat these kind of teams on your home court.
My lord that Fultz contract… I just looked it up…. What is going on there? They could tank for so much cheaper.
They already have 8 lottery picks .
They need them to replace Fultz
They have them on their roster now !
“They need them to replace Fultz” – Ellis5
Is the second half going to
A) Be just like the 1st half – Kings by 40
B) Be a reverse of the 1st half – Kings win/lose by 2
C) stay pretty much even from here – Kings by 14-20
In the battle of the Mo-
Is Wagner > Bamba ?
HB
I’d like to see Keegan be more aggressive. He gets blocked at the rim way too frequently.
HB on fire
This could easily be one of HB’s best games as a King.
Franz is doing his best impersonation of a German sausage who wants to be a basketball player.
Lazy and play on both ends by the Kings.
Orlando coming in after halftime like they were the ones up by 20.
Kings 15/29 from 3PT.
okay, time to put Davion in the game
Wendell Carter Jr. is pretty darn good. I feel Orlando fleeced the Bulls in that trade for Vuc.
does everything you need out of a big man and a little extra
He reminds me of a young Al Horford, which is a very good thing.
His glasses are cool… How much for those?
They are very cool.
I really like Wendell as well.. I would love him coming off the bench…. Other than that…. (sucks teeth)
Good comp. Similar size and length. Unspectacular, blue collar guys that protect the paint, make the right play and can dip into the bag in the post every so often.
Release the Metu
#Kraken
Tighten up defensively!
Gonna live and die by the 3
monk put on the brakes and he flew right by
Looked like Davion and Carter banged knees there
Wendell Carter vs Davion….. Winner?
Davion
Magic commentators have stopped talking about a Magic comeback and are instead speculating on whether the Kings will break its single-game three-point record.
They clearly are not familiar with the KANGZ
Magic commentators better Kings/NBA fans than notdeaaronfox. Sequenced.
Nice play
I’m happy Metu is getting some run again…
Orlando made their run and the Kings answered back to finish the quarter
Metu and Monk provide some high flying plays
This is a dominant performance.
looks like Fox can take a break in the fourth tonight
They can rest the starters throughout the fourth if they want.
I wouldn’t rest any of them. With the way the Kings are playing defense no lead is enough
JFC. Give me a break.
Hi. The Kings are up 23.
I assume this was in response to the tech call on Monk
I love this energy from Metu, Monk, and Okpala. Run KMC?
The Bench Mom
Orange slices and juice boxes after every win!
LOL! I love it.
HB is blowing it away tonight
Would be nice if Domas doesn’t have to play another minute in this one
Magic commentators say that it would require a “historic” performance by the Magic to turn this game around.
More like….
Damn that Monk assist to Green Velvet
shooting like the Red Falcon
Both got the green light!
Time to pull all starters.
Kings are outscoring the Magic by 30 from 3PT in this game. I think that’s good
PJ Dozier time.
I was running down the box score and got to the bottom and I saw PJ Dozier and I was like WTF and then I remembered
It’s almost time for PJ Dozier and Delly minutes with Light the Beam chants
After seeing Metu play, he’s been the most consistent of the backup bigs. No more holmes please and thank you
I think he’s shown to be the best on the offensive end with his speed and explosiveness. I think the jury is still out on the defensive end.
yeah his defense is not great but he’s the best we got in the back up 5 spot. Holmes can’t bring either on the court for some reason and Nemy still raw
This is why you build 24 point leads do you can withstand 13 point runs. 5 minutes from garbage time and light the beam chants.
Dang, FoxMonk shooting stats look awful. 10-22 overall and 1-10 from 3. Yet they have the highest +/- on the team, and the team has big phat lead. They’re contributing in other ways, I reckon.
Didn’t even realize they were a combined 1/10 from 3PT. Rest of the team is 20/30!
If they’re 1-10 from 3, then they’re 9-12 from 2.
That’s correct (they’re now 10-13 from 2).
HB getting the post game interview
Sabonis shouldn’t be back in this game. Rest the man.
What did I just say about HB he is just sick tonight
Barnes gonna get giffed tonight!
Harrison is going to light the beam
I feel like Domas has been invisible tonight and he’s still got a double-double
and 8 assists.
Doing the wave at Golden 1.
Light the Beam chants have started
Light the beam chants. Light wave?
HB gotta be the King of Kings tonight
Holmes, Delly , and Dozier coming in.
Kings need 2 more 3’s to break the franchise record. Can’t wait for Delly to break it
I called it! LOL
You are amazing!!!! Like mental
Get rec’d in the game thread!
Why is Suggs coming off the bench?
Because he hasn’t been good and he’s coming off injury.
Got it
Exactly
Yep Fultz is better than Suggs and paychecks and such.
Because he hasn’t played well enough since he was drafted to start?
lol
23/45 from 3. Insane.
Dellllyyyy!
Get PJ a bucket!
After having so many nail biters over their past 6-7 games, it’s nice to get a blowout win again
