Let’s go Kings!!!!
Should be a fun one.
Or it could be two hours on the verge of nausea
Go, Kings !!!
always love the mosh pit intro
Old man Barnes needed a few days off. Looks spry tonight.
That frenetic sequence is why the Kings are going to win this one.
Just gotta keep up the effort and energy.
this is good basketball
Loved the focus so far….
they are intensed…..
Keep the intensity !!!
Isolating Doncic on Kings offense. I like the adjustment.
So far, they’re not falling for Dallas.
Luka passing like a maniac but the missing open shots bug has bitten the Mavs now.
Luka’s an idiot.
why?
well, I guess we’re all idiots
For not making Vlade pick him, I suppose
A lot of Malik’s misses during his cold streak have been off to the left. Maybe some sort of undiagnosed injury?
Hope Monk can return….
Kings are like 35-4 when they score 120+. Gotta get the offense going because the past 4 or 5 games they haven’t scored well.
is Sasha still out?
Yup
Sure is taking long
Sprained both angles, one was grade 3 which basically he jad some bad ligament damage. Takes time, hopefully he can get back soon.
Fox is hustling but 2 points from him in the opening quarter while going 1-4 from the field after the last game is not acceptable.
at least he is hustling, and not just settle for 3 pts shots
True.
his first bucket was a good tone setter
BS call on Mitchell.
3s not falling for Fox. Need him to stop the Harden impression and get to the rack
Here’s a great idea: Leave Hardaway Jr. for a wide open three to close out the quarter.
It was like a 28 foot 3..
And there wasn’t a Kings player within 10 feet of him for some reason. And it looked more like 24 feet.
Yahoo said 28, so I went with that.
It’s like during that first quarter the Kings started to remember that they’re the better team.
Monk out. Fox needs to explode.
dang. who’s your 9th player after Duarte? Kessler?
Keesler……
Colby Jones.
Welp, guess we’re out of shooting guards.
That’s actually very inaccurate. Regardless, hope Monk’s alright
Monk is out for the rest of this game. Guess that means more Duarte???
Ok. I’m interested to see what this team can do without Monk.
One of those Domas 30 point games would be nice.
I’m hoping for a clear defensive identity.
Or maybe Domas will be the one exploding
What a coast to coast dunk that was.
No reason it should take Keegan this long to get his first two shots.
That’s a question for the coach.
Good chance for him to just be aggressive on O and pay attention/focus all game.
They need Keegs to start being their more often- this game particularly
Come on, Durate need to play better.
otherwise, let C. Jones play
Great way to get Keegan involved.
Duarte is bad, Jones needs to play..
Monk better not be hurt…
Can’t say flawless from the foul line. I like the way we are talking care of the ball. Get Keegan some DHOs
Harrison fucking Barnes.
a couple days off helped him
Caw caw
Let’s go Fox!
Let’s keep this up and get the win. Phoenix lost today so we can gain on them.
If Fox didn’t take that three, my TV and I were about to have a wrestling match.
flat screen?
Yeah.
Jones just said “Fox has that giddy up in his gallop tonight.” Is Jones watching this game?
Sounded accurate to me.
Yup. Faster pace for him.
Don’t want to incur KZ’s Kurse, but…goddamn, Keon looks like a potential future DPOY
Harrison Barnes revenge game
BS call on Ellis
Swiped down and barely touched anything. Part of the ball maybe, but no contact with kyrie.
Refs gotta make it close, apparently.
More BS conduct by NBA refs. Dallas has 15 free throw attempts. Kings have 5.
Won both quarters minus Monk.
excellent 1st Qtr, not bad 2nd Qtr…
Keep the aggressiveness for 3 Qtr and 4 Qtr
I think I saw at least three Keon steals. Curious to check the stats.
3! You were right!!!
Any word on Monk?
Out for the game with a knee injury
Yikes. No bueno
We’re gonna have to play edwards. Otherwise we’re gonna burn out.
I’m okay with that … as the 9th guy
Did Drapes get called out by the higher ups? Why did he change his gear?
Man this garbage start we’re seeing is coaching. WTF are the Kings doing?
Domas can’t dribble the ball in the paint when double teamed. He gets stripped too often, for most of the season.
yeah, pass out of the double-team … generally speaking
one of those plays looked like a good dunk attempt that missed. Another, maybe Keon passed to him when he should not have … but yeah, when Domas is ineffective in the post, it reminds me of last year’s playoff series …
Sabonis need to beware of that double-team
Seriously. This is one of issues he needs to fix. It’s like he decides what he’s doing and does it
Stop feeding sabonis in the block, unless you’re running action
Keegan got hit in the eye and Kidd wants to challenge that?
Successfully aparently. F these refs man
Please Sabonis. Please figure this out. Calm down- think-adjust.
Keegan needs to work on his dunk game. Just does the same approach to the rim for every dunk. Sometimes gotta disguise what you are doing on the way up.
like the aggressiveness though
Yeah, that’s nice.
Playing good was fun while it lasted. Same shit, different day
*points at scoreboard*
Fair point, the negative shift in energy between halves just felt kinda similar to Tuesday
Fox take the ball to the rim!
I can’t stand it when Fox passes the ball after taking a few steps past half court for no apparent reason. It’s absolutely useless.
If Fox doesn’t get aggressive, we ain’t got a chance.
LOL
Mavs keep doing the same pass to the big out of the double team, and no Kings defender is even close, just giving them a runway to the rim.
Bill Kennedy is either an idiot or a Mavs fan
Mavs getting soooo many more calls
Kessler!!!
yes !!!!
Our 2nd unit / 3rd unit definitely need to step up
Kessler and Duarte on the court?
We’re in foul trouble
Annual late season Kessler Edwards explosion!
After the timeout, they drew up a play for . . . Kessler Edwards?
Kings are smiling. They look like they’re having fun out there.
At least Kessler stepped up.
We need that desperately…..
Fox and other starters also need to play better
What’s going on in here?
Draw in the third. Now just finish them off.
Monk is hurt?
Fat guy fell on his right knee
Damn
Take care of the rock, break the paint and lead with your chest. Let’s win this.
9 FTA vs 26 FTA after three quarters. Wonder if they’ll try to smooth it out a little more this quarter.
questionable defensive rotation by Kessler
Edwards bringing a positive impact!
The K’s are going off!
Kessler, Keon, luKa
Damn. Kyrie.
Wow. What a shootout.
Come on, Sabonis,
need to grab that loose ball
Jones is annoying. He sounds like what he is, a national TV play-by-play guy.
The JV team is about to get run out of the gym.
Please get us a bench Monte.
The bench is injured
That bench sucks too.
Amd just like that, the lead is down to 3.
Uh oh…
“You’ve mentioned that sooooo many times about Kyrie” said Mo to Jones. LOL!!!
No need to guard the guy in the corner.
Kessler keeps leaving them open
Kessler doesn’t belong.
Not enough to overturn that.
Ellis did get the ball first.
Come on, Fox…
Need to hit those jumper
Bad challenge. Mavs up 2 or 3. Falling apart once again.
Bad challenge, Keon got all forearm
Mike, what are you doing??? Awful challenge.
Ball first. Successful challenge.
This looks like a bad challenge, but you never know.
About to be 31-11 in favor of Mavs in free throws. In a tie game.
Corruption
The long view looked like ball first. The closeup looked like ball first.
Mavs on a 10-0 run
C’mon Harrison, make this to make it an and 1.
Keegan 29 minutes and 6 points.
Why do we keep missing rebounds?
Effort = Rebounds
Who cares about the triple double stats..
WIN A GAME!
