Go Kings!
I don’t mind some minutes from Lyles……..
You asked………
So far there is no defense coming from the Kings..
Holiday is the new Buddy?
Nobody can replace Buddy and that’s a good thing
Yeah, much rather see DD in there
Not even close. Holiday at least give a f*ck
Like this second unit. Jones, Lyles, Davion.
Jocic’s trey had the longest hang time I’ve seen in a while
Jokic’s trey too
He is literally shooting from second floor with that height and hang time
Having Mitchell made the Hali trade a little easier to take.
For me…absolutely
Interesting that Jones came in before Holmes. Unless Holmes is out tonight.
Holmes is out
I have a feeling this will continue doesn the stretch.
Out with a sore back
That’s what I would say after seven days in the Bahamas.
I knew he should have taken it easy during the break
If the Kings lose these minutes without Jokic on the floor, that’s a bad sign.
DD with the Trey
My man!
What can’t sabonis do
I love his hustle most………
dive into the floor to get that loose ball….run the floor and grab that off. rebound
Gives the team a spark
Love to see the grit
If Domas can start hitting that 3 from the top of the key, that would be spectacular.
Has hit 2 more 3’s than I expected from him. Would change his game in a big way
And he only needs to take 3 or 4 a night, too.
His 3 point pct is about the same as Myles Turner and better than CWebb for career ! He can shoot ok and still improving !
Sabonis is the real deal man, we are really lucky to get him.
What a pass by Domas to HB!!!!!
Dis Domas Sacboner dude is not bad
Domas should have at least four more assists if the Kings could just make shots
This is quite common with playmakers. Domas is no different in that regard.
Basketball is the more misses than makes game
Why can’t this team ever get a loose ball
Horrible defense by De’Aaron on Monte Morris.
Sabonis is good.
Kings as a whole are neither good or bad
Thru the first half Fox leads all players with 2 blocks
I think the future is a little brighter than it was before the trades.
Agree. Really don’t care about wins and losses. My best finish to the season would be 22 losses by 1 pt for the Kings. I want to see heart, hustle, smarter plays and young player growth
That’s totally what I want too..
Need to see Metu at the PF in the second halve…Harkless just doesn’t cut it.
True but Mo has only played 6 minutes thru the first half
Lyles hasn’t shown much either.
Think you’re point is that the Kings need a better option at the 4…Metu isn’t the answer
Metu is good at cutting…he would benefit from Sabonis
Yup…
Why is it that I feel like the team’s defense has improved greatly since the trade but we still gave up some 60+ points in the first half?
Feels like 3pt defense still sucks, or teams get hot against Kings
We really have only one lock down defender in Mitchell,
How many TOs did Fox has …………?
Just put him on the bench pls
Fox, Domasd and DD all have 3
DD having 3 TOVs really hurts. Domas, too, since he doesn’t turn the ball over that much.
3 TOVs for Fox and Sabonis apiece.
Where’s Brown. This.isn’t.good
Match their 12-0 run with one of your own.
11-2 run of your own mostly fueled by Domas is how you respond.
Fuc kin Domas…..Damn
27 11 & 6 now.
Domas is the Man…Yes!
HB….nice
Huge steal.
Really sweet
we would have those dumb inbound pass if Hield is still on the team..
DD…nice to see
The score is 87 85 Denver. The Kings graphic is way wrong.
I wish we still had Grant, he would’ve been going nuts right now
Should be 87 to 85
Domas with 4 O boards………Denver with 1
Important minutes without Domas on the floor.
We shall see kind of minutes
Well put.
That was a volleyball swat by Damien!!!
We need to keep Jones..
He is quick and able to stay with those guards..
That’s a question for the summer. That said, there’s merit to the idea.
Does it seem that coach reacts late by not substituting or calling timeouts quickly enough? Just a feeling….
2nd unit will roll tanks for many games
Comes down to making shots…we don’t have shooters and haven’t for a long time.
Horrible opening 2 minutes for this reserve unit. Not surprising, really, but it’s a problem.
Just looking at the second unit who would you keep? Mitchell, probably DD, D. Jones because he’s cheap and serviceable, Holmes who I think is gone end of season. Anybody else. Maybe Holiday
Holiday is under contract next season. I’d keep Davis too.
Forgot about him, he’s a keeper
Jones is an UFA. DD is a RFA but that won’t matter much. There’s lots of decisions to be made, that’s for sure. The first step is finishing the season.
which will inevitably happen without the Kings being in the playoffs and I’m fine with that
You don’t bring in 6 new players and suddenly become a well oiled machine.
So true
Slick little handoff by Davion
it’s been awhile since the Kings have taken the lead at any point in the 2nd half
No lead vs Brooklyn, Chicago and tonight.
Domas is nice but we still suck at D
I’ll bet Malone wins the challenge. Davion totally sold that elbow by Barton but it caught air.
Malone would challenge a play if he were thirty points ahead. Still pissed about him getting fired,
Kings can’t buy a bucket
whyd they switch Mitchell off barton
Tank is on boys. Hope Monte gets help to Fox and Ox for next year
You really love tanking, we’ve tanked for sixteen years now and it hasn’t done a damn thing, has it?
the result is the same but I don’t think the Kings tanked tonight
Will Barton is killing the Kings
Will Barton kills alot of teams.
Not that the defense isn’t an issue, but this team doesn’t really have enough offense either.
Isn’t Gentry said he needed to keep at least one of Fox/Ox on the floor ?
I mean he needed to do it !!!!
Domas don’t tank!!!
Boy… this 4th quarter is brutal. It got away really fast.
I’m guessing we are seeing a preview of the rest of the season. Should have a decent pick. Maybe with some lottery luck, they can somehow get a second or third option through trading the pick.
Gentry need to adjust the starting lineup…
Sabonis
Metu
Barnes
Holiday
Fox
Sabonis
Metu
Barnes
Mitchell
Fox
This. Mitchell should start
