Just kidding. Go Kings! (in 2 hours)
Domas with a triple double and Fox goes off for 40 plus tonight!
No Myles Turner or Jalen Smith tonight. Hoping we respond better to small ball Pacers with Siakam at the 5, than we did facing small ball Suns in the 4th quarter few weeks back.
Domas injury. He could have broken bones and not even notice.
The Domas Titanium Tank.
Well, the pace seems fast. Kings gotta keep Pacers out of the paint
Why does Davion keep getting minutes?
The Kings show restraint (???) in not challenging that foul?
I’m baffled. They usually make that mistake by now.
The final score could be 145-144.
Lyles took a charge, per usual.
Transition take foul, at the free throw line with 7 other players in the area?
Davion is just racing up the floor.
Kessler has had some nice minutes.
Yakshi, we are running the 2-man game tonight, apparently.
hahaha it sure looks like it.
I can set a pick. One of you go hard into the lane, I’ll be there ready to set the low post pick.
That was just an excellent offensive sequence by the Kings. So many passes, so crisp.
Sure was pretty. And defense tightened up too.
You ain’t lying.
Mathurin played his Change My Pivot card.
“Shoulder! Shoulder! Shoulder!…”
What a sad yet completely predictable turn of events it would be if Pascal Siakam ended up in New York or Los Angeles–or any place not Indiana–after this season.
Here we go with another first half challenge.
I think this challenge is why Fox and Domas aren’t All Stars.
The conclusion: Successful challenge, with no remedy.
Solid half. Limit the turnovers and keep feeding Domas
Solid bench play. Kings shooting 58%.
Pacers shooting even better but turning the ball over too much.
This still looks like a game that could end up in the 140s.
I’d love to see Fox pass more often on those final possessions. Defenses aren’t expecting it.
All of Fox’s last second shots are missed 3s. Hmmm..
And then there are all of the ones that go in.
5 steals for Fox. Very nicely done.
Basket interference?
I’m sick of it….practice your fucking free throws!
That hasn’t helped. Not sure what else they can do.
Who is this team?! Getting stops and forcing turnovers?!
Kings have 10 steals already.
11 point lead after 3 quarters. Keep up the pressure and move the ball offensively
Terrible finish to the quarter. Up 28 with under 2:00 to go and get outscored by 7. Seems to happen a lot.
Meant to say up 18.
I have never liked the in-arena stuff during timeouts.
Have these refs had a single call as the foul happened?
Not really
That same play was a take foul when lyles did that, but not when siakam did it
So frustrating that the Kings don’t get Keegan touches. Can’t expect him to hit shots if he has no rhythm. Run dho with Keegan.
WHY IS THE FREE THROW SHOOTING SO BAD
12-20 or something tonight. Crazy. Thank God we’re leading.
It’s disgusting.
12/20 from the line? Shit! Free throw woes are back.
When did they go away?
Nice drive by Fox there. Made it look easy.
The whistles are starting to be blown for the Pacers now.
Why is Keegan out?!
Said this during the Heat game, feels like he killed Brown’s dog
Ineffective? He hasn’t had a great game
We’re up. He’s our best defender. Ineffective but only because he ain’t getting touches. Should be out there.
Each King on the floor has scored at least 15 points. Keegan, meanwhile is 2 for 7 and 1 for 6 from three. The ones on the floor deserve to close.
Tyrese? 21 minutes played.
One assist.
And 5 TOs
Tyrese lacking an imprint. 😉
C’mon you guys, just close this out….
5 on 8 for the remainder of the game
No hero ball here
Jesus, I thought that was a turnover for a second.
Blow the fucking whistle, like wtf
What a joke…er choke.
Ivve changed my mind, Fox shouldn’t be driving more for contact. He won’t make the FTs anyhow.
NOT the time to be missing free throws. Jesus Christ.
That’s all they do.
Keegan is the only one who’s defended Mathurin well, everyone else just lets him drive and then get fouled
And what about giving Edwards a shot???
Sad. As a kings fan you have to hope for 1/2 on FTs.
1/2 would be amazing
1:50. Up by 10. Put keegs in!
Why are we just letting them drive to the basket?
Take Huerter out of the fucking game
Just pissing this game away. What’s new….
Are they?
lol
Yep, they were
You know both teams scored 34 in the 4th quarter and Kings won by 11?
And Pacers cut it to 7 with a minute left, when I posted.
Those back to back buckets should be game.
Not if they hack a king
Six steals by Fox. Kings closing out quite well this time.
I swear to god, I can’t stand watching the nba. The officiating is just fucked.
Siakam committed like 6 fouls that weren’t called this game
I can’t wait for Huerter to be traded
This game was over 15 minutes ago.
Fun one.
Thanks for 3 quarters of the 2 man game.
It was fun. Good company.
4 wins on this road trip. Light the beam.
Good point. There were definite worries about this long road trip, and the Kings have exceeded expectations so far.
At least they’re guaranteed a winning road trip. Would love for them to get at least one more out of the last two and make it 5-2.
Nice to see the Phoenix lost today too.
Bulls tomorrow, winnable, but the Kings haven’t done great on SEGABABA.
On to the next one. See you people tomorrow night. Good win. Needed it.
Did Huerter sleep with your spouse or something. He’s playing pretty good.
You must not watch late game scenarios play out. He fouls or gets blown by for a layup every possession. Watch it again. And missed technical free throw.
Oh, and Mathurin was his assignment. I’ll let you check the box score to see who the Pacers leading scorer was. Give me Dorian or Grant over him any day. Kuzma too.
They played a solid game for 4 quarters. Hung on in the end during that last frenetic push by the Pacers.
Just get those free throws fixed.
At this point, I think we just have to accept that we only have a couple decent FT shooters. Most nights will be a 50-70%night
That was a fun game from start to finish! Great road win. On to the next!
Kessler Edwards did his role well. 14 minutes, no shot attempts, rebounded well, had some steals and a block, played great defense. Couldn’t ask for much more from him.
DPOG crown
Him or Fox. Both played good defensively tonight.
Definitely give it to Edwards for team chemistry. It will mean more than Fox.
Coach Brown: “Our two non-all stars had great games…Domas is the 14th player in the history of the game, not this season, but in the game, to have thirty consecutive double doubles. Let me repeat that (Mike then repeats that phrase 7 or 8 times), and to not get voted to the all star game……Foxy has six steals tying his own record and played fabulous defense.”
Nice team win on the road but hit your damn FTs. Edwards was good and deserves more mins going forward.
Let’s hope that we leave CHI with Caruso!
