Go, Kings….
And Suns to shoot the most free throws against the Pelicans! Gotta go for that point in the game predictions.
We’ll see………..lol
Jamal Murray pulling a Lonzo Ball and having a phantom injury to not have to match with Fox tonight.
Well it has not started well.
That is better. 7-0 run
I like Barnes and Holmes both hustle for that defensive rebound
I’ve went from loving Richaun to wanting him gone in the span of months
hes not even trying against Jokic out here
wut.
I guess He is failing to imprint himself on one of the best centers in the league
I’m gonna go ahead and say, the best center in the league.
passes, shoots, rebounds, plays d… I would trade Bagley for him and even throw in Barnes, Joseph, Whiteside, Robinson, guy,
I’d trade anyone on the Kings for him. Bagley would just be salary filler. He has no value.
Me too… on a side note Denver had three second rounders starting tonight,
Jokic, Milsap, Harris… porter was a 14th and Morris a 19th in 1st round..
talk about good drafting and coaching
kind had a number 2, number 5, 6th, 7th and a second rounder
Thanks, Vlade.
so were you wrong then or are you wrong now?
Holmes looks okay to me.
Fox shooting on the other hand, has looked dreadful this season.
he just needs to clean up the ticky tac fouls
Spin move by Bagley was impressive
that’s his only signature move………
walton has to start bringing Haliburton in for Fox.
Yup
M. Morris is killing us…and I remembered he did work out with the Kings, right ?
For someone who is allegedly used for his defense CoJo sure has had some real defensive misses early in the game.
CoJo playing some terrible defense out here
Jokic gonna put up something like 40/20/15 tonight lol
He’s unstoppable right now.
What about Whiteside and Jocic?
Jokic and Barnes putting on an assist clinic
I’m impressed with Barnes right now.
Oh Hali yes!
getting teammate involved is so good !!!
Bagley just passed out of the post for an assist what’s happening
amazing…….
a miracle
Do it all young man
So glad Haliburton somehow fell to 12
He has seemed really fun, a nice find.
Bagley just had the best kick out of his career.
These CoJo minutes have been….bad
yeah definitely not a good start for him
holy fuck
Joesph with a horrible drive. He had Hali in the corner. SMH.
CoJo bricks!
I’m gonna wager a good 60% of Bagley’s shots are spins to his left hand. Who wants to take my bet?
Can we get a GIF of that Haliburton no look spin pass?
Haliburton really is solid, he might be the most consistent rookie since…who? Cousins?
20-5-5 Evans ?
Cuz consistently turned it over.
Maybe HongKongKingsFan will add that to his highlight reel for the win thread
I am happily to do that..
Still have no confidence of Marv’s shot. Is that bad?
I like that Haliburton is starting to get a little flashy. His turnovers might go up, but he may be able to impact the game more.
Mark Jones is solid. Doug is still mediocre. Dammit, Jerry.
Yeah, I’m really liking Jones.
Agree Jones is a smooth operator but I enjoy the goofy enthusiasm Doug brings.
That’s what you need, a professional game caller and a complementary color guy.
Oh Hali Yes!
Bagley 2-3 from range.
Bagley hitting some 3’s!
Where are Marv’s boards?
Hali with such a great nose for the ball. Impressive stuff
Well well, two threes from Bagley and a great defensive effort from Buddy.
Do we need him to shoot 3’s or rebound? I Don’t know. I’d rather see him be a monster off the glass.
Both would be nice
*make not just shoot
There’s the buddy we know, fouling for the three.
HO HO HOLMES!
HOLMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good job by marvin taking the foul
bagley needs a buzzer in his ear that goes off if he dribbles the ball more than 3 times.
Really liking Marvin’s game tonight. Efficient. What’s his career high?
There is a definite spark of composure and better IQ tonight.
I think when he was playing with Zbo
Really good half from Bagley
Trade everyone for Holmes
Fox with a grown man move
REX!!!!
Buddy to Bagley! That was nice!
phenomenal 2 man game there. Great pass by Buddy
Mike Malone may kill someone at halftime.
It could get ugly
fire himself and re-join the Kings ?
Barnes for 3 to end the first half…so good to see
Honestly did not expect a 12 point lead at the half.
74 points in a half, I will gladly take that
Sweet finish to the half. Nearly on pace to score 150 points! Crazy. Now just a bit of lockdown D the first 6 mins of the 3rd quarter and put this game away.
Great game so far. Super fun, lets hope they can keep this lead up in the 3rd so they can empty the bench for the 4th
Did not expect Marv to have 1 board at the half either.
I’ll take 18 points, no boards for a half all day long
coke machine ?
Actually I think in the long run you won’t. But IMO
You wouldn’t want a 36 point scorer?
That was one of the better second quarters that I can remember in a long time
Agreed.
let’s cross our fingers that they don’t follow it up with the worst third quarter in a long time.
That is why I’m holding my breath. I am wearing my TKH Kangz shirt, after all.
Kayte reading the comments before her halftime dialogue haha
What is this team? The ball movement and spacing is amazing!
That’s what a 6th seed team is expected to do!
Is this Kings basketball? ðð½
Very nice 1st half. Now let’s make that effort for 2 more quarters.
Marvin is playing really well but I still don’t like his game. Kings fans really can’t have nice things except for Hali
Yeah, even Willie had his moments
I know he did but they are so hard to remember
Even then, I might take Willie’s body and skill set over Marvin’s. Willie got soft after his injuries and not liking basketball
Best half I’ve seen in a long, long time
They’ll come back down to earth in the second half
Or maybe they won’t!
Knock on wood
Pretty impressive first half…let’s keep it up!
I love when Fox is droping dimes like this. Not having to guard Murray must be a relief after games against Murray, CP3 and Booker
Marv with his 2nd board. Feelin it
Marv who are you tonight?
Barnes all around game has just been on a different level this season
Barnes triple double alert: 10 PTS, 4 REB, 8 AST
Let me count…….6 boards and 2 dimes. Got a way to go
Fuck Marv is this the way you gonna be playing the rest of the season. Hustle
Heeeeeeeeeeeere comes Denver
Barnes needs to stop trying to be a playmaker. Absolutely terrible start to the 3rd. Now it’s CoJo time.
Put in Hali…
Really. He needs to be in to save us from Cojo.
Welp, that lead was erased quickly
At halftime
Luke: relax guys, we got this.
Malone: I’m going to murder your families in front of you if you don’t get your shit together
This is a definite possibility
Fox and CoJo have been bad defensively tonight
of course they aren’t the only ones. Kings defense just hasn’t been good all game
Bejelica, Whiteside, and Cojo will save us. ð
Walton what are you waiting for….get Hali in to run the offense. Denver is dominating the game right now
Activate Point Guard Buddy.
Haha iso buddy time
Ask and you shall receive.
17-0 run is just unacceptable
Absolutely unacceptable
Whiteside is a good rimrunner but Jocic is on a different level
Teams come out of half and destroy the Kings in the 3rd. A staple under Luke Walton
Whiteside…..big body……not so much against Jocic
Jokic?
3rd Qtr Kings strike again.
Hello… Walton…anyone home…hello?
Fox should have been driving the paint to start the damn quarter.
Cojo has done virtually nothing in this game.
Shame that, in the opener he was excellent
Haliburton needs to be first player off the bench. Joseph ninth
Outscored by 16. Jeezz
3rd Qtr had been a curse for long time…I just cannot recall which coach can have Kings players to play a consistent 3rd Qtr
I really hope the only reason they are playing CoJo like this is for trade value building. They could run Hali out there more and I would still prefer our spark plug Guy for a couple minutes a night.
Home after dinner out, Gallo now joins the end of game discussion.
I believer in Gallo more than I believe in Lawlors law
Take Bejelica out!
Bjelica how many point blank open floaters are you gonna miss dude…
why he did not take that wide open corner 3 ? he is money on that spot
Turned down a open corner three for a driving semicontested floater. No me gusta.
Halliburton is all Money!
It looks so awkward but his release point is fairly high and follow-through is good and it goes in. I’m not even really sure he should try to change it…
ALL. MONEY.
Hal 9000: Playing like a rookie…. I’m sorry Dave… I can’t do that.
haliburton is our shawn marion
He is the Kings’ Renaissance Man.
*I know coin this moniker. Send proceeds to my PO Box.
Nice
Belli just playing his game
A tech? WTF?
CoJo’s worst game this year by far
As soon as it is typed he makes a play on both ends.
A NBA player having a terrible day is still stupidly good at basketball.
This is a ball game. We need to find a way.
Cojo had time for a quick pass.
Don’t understand the COJO hate. He is what he is.
Therein lies the problem my friend.
He’s actually been pretty decent so far in my opinion
Buddy is such a clutz lol
Hali I loves hgim!
That’s. My. Rooooooooook!!!!!
Haliburton!
Haliburton knows how to win basketball games.
Yes Hali!!
TYRESE !!!!
Haliburton’s jumping ability is underrated. Dude glides through the air.
Hali ¤ï¸ never leave us
Hali needs to be on the floor 30 minutes per game
But but we have our veteran Cojo.
box score does not do justice to how well Haliburton has played tonight.
He helps us play winning basketball, regardless of his stats in the box score
Fock it we got the best player in the draft this year!
Buddy still hasn’t cracked 10 pts yet
but he is hustling and helping in another ways
Hali with TWO HANDS
This rook is unlike any we’ve had before
No Bagley this half, curious
GOOOO KINGS! Destroy the Nuggets!
You gonna LOVE the chemistry between Hali and Holmes !!!!!!!!!!!!
Hali I loved you
TYRESE!
Vlade passed on Luka knowing Hali was going to come our way. PowerMove!
Deep 3 Hali!!!
Oh my.
So Hali gonna keep us from a high pick next year…. Good.
I’m hoping Jokic is tired at this point. This is the second week and a contender is playing 40 minutes of his all-star. Pull him off, Malone
Not good
Fox I love you too
He saved our ass in the final minutes of 3rd quarter
Time to dance people!
NOT. YET.
If I wasn’t having muscle cramps I’d be dancing too
Game ball goes to fox
Haliburton the best player on the court in this 4th quarter. That 3PT he took after the offensive board was the only real rookie mistake. No need to rush that up with the score and clock in your favor
I agree,
but that would be a heat check
And 1!!!!!!!! Let’s go Fox!
The ball need to be in Hali / Fox’s hands
At all times. No exceptions.
Real Cyclones don’t blow leads. ROY
Buddy……..finally
Malone is going to blow his sphincter
That should do it
Don’t jinx it!
The 4th Qtr and the play by Hali made a HUGE difference
THE NUGGETS ARE FALLING APART. Kings have desiccated them!
I’ve not been watching other rookies but are any of them playing better than Tyrese?
Quick answer …………NO!
Wiseman has been filling up the stat sheet but the Warriors are currently so broken that he is almost doing it by default, so hard to really gauge.
Haven’t paid too much attention around the league otherwise.
Wiseman and Edward’s are playing good
Deni has been really good actually. He’s like a high pick Halliburton.
2 games against the Nuggets and 2 against a Suns team everyone is predicting to be playoff contenders this year and the Kings have only like….1.5 quarters of truly bad basketball out of those 4 games. Did not see this coming at all
This win probably their best too IMO. Nuggets went on their run in that 3rd and built up a 10 point lead. Kings withstood it and responded with their own run to pull away
KINGS WIN!
Great game. And there goes my sound. G’nite Ladies
and Gentlemen
OMG…Hali with a +20 tonight.
Ok Kayte tell us what we aren’t think about and don’t know.
Very, very impressive win…who are these guys?
I’m really enjoying this team! I did not think we were going to win this one before it started. The Kings had a great team win! Hali is legit! I was pissed at Buddy for his earlier comments, but he has been showing a lot of effort so far this season. Go Kings!
Playoffs
Fox, Holmes, Halliburton share the game ball. Great, great win after taking a hot wet, explosive shit in the 3rd quarter. Way to clamp down and hold Den to 15 in the 4th
Denver was also probably gassed at this point as well; I believe they played Houston last night AT Denver. Still, credit where it’s due. The Kings came back.
My rookie ¤ï¸¤ï¸ð¥°
What happened with Bagley? Didn’t see him in the 2nd half
https://twitter.com/TeamBagley/status/1344151842704355328
Bagley’s camp weighs in.
lol completely expected from his camp. Team is performing well and wins the game but it doesn’t matter to them
That is beyond freaking stupid. Hey “team Bagley,” team Kings won Denver for a second time in four games! Wtf?
Took me a second to understand the grammar, then another second to understand the context.
Can’t agree with them here, his team won. And honestly, good on Luke Walton for keeping it real and not playing him just cause he was a #2 draft pick.
I made the mistake of pointing it out that it’s a team game on Twitter And the Anemic two rebounds, I should know better than to tweet
7 feet tall and he only got 2 rebounds in 23 minutes and no blocks.
Should be more concerned with Bags non existent right hand game. Any halfway decent defender would « close out » forcing him to right. Often takes more difficult shot because he is not comfortable using right pivot ,spinning back ot
r driving right to finish. Textbook moves yet nowhere to be found in his arsenal. How he got this far without it, I do not know but you’d think that would have been by addressed by now. Has potential no doubt but limited game.
Damn. Haliburton is so legit.
Smooth Operator.
Did Bags not play the second half? Hope no injuries and just a minute restriction…
Love the way Walton is utilizing the three guard lineups. I’d like to see more minutes with Fox, Buddy, and Haliburton on the court together. My starting lineup would be Fox, Buddy, Haliburton, Bagley and either Barnes or Bjelica.
