UGH, Bagley should never take the ball end to end. It’s almost always a turnover.
More guaranteed than Rudy Gay.
Buddy relax you don’t have to shoot a 3 every time, get a good look
Gallo del Cielo likes our chances.
Nice euro step by Holmes
Buddy had all ball!
All Lonzo Ball
That was a weak call!
He clearly fouled him with his body first
Whiteside can’t play. I’m not super high on Metu, but only reason he’s not ahead in the rotation over whiteside is Walton is a bonehead
Whiteside is soooo trash lmaoooo
He’s a cheap vet, that’s why Walton plays him so much.
Him and cojo should not play most games. if you put them in a game here and there they’ll provide a spark
Sweet no look pass from Haliburton to a cutting Whiteside (missed the layup)
Fox is so much better than Ball…not even close.
puttin a little bit of muscle in his hustle
1972 wants Whiteside’s game back.
A ketchup popsicle?
Where is the game on? NBCSN says Sharks live on Hulu.
its on hulu. guide is wrong
lol at playing We Built This City on the PA system
You’d think that at least one Kings player would box out. They collectively do not box out.
If you can’t get the team to commit to boxing out and rebounding then how do you expect them to commit to the defensive rotations.
Soft coach, soft team.
pretty sure like half their shot attempts have come with the shot clock at zero tonight.
kings are playing abysmally
correction: bagley is playing abysmally
Bagley improving by the game
Is it just me or is Bagley’s game (at least on offense) looking better? I haven’t seen the last handful of games but I hope it’s been that way.
Not really. He was scoring at the rim as a rookie. It just appears new because he’s playing on the perimeter more now, working on his outside shot which has resulted in his percentage near the rim plummeting and also his FT %.
Idk earlier in the season he almost always tried to back people down so he could force up a bad shot, and this half he’s been mixing up his normal game with cutting and passing, and got that assist to Hali for the halftime buzzer beater. Bags has forced more passes than shots, which I’m happy with at this point in his career.
Ain’t gonna cut it for a 2nd contract.
why would shooting more threes cause his FT% to plummet?
Because they’re all hitting back iron. What, you think he has the Markelle Fultz shoulder injury? Basket looking like a scene from Hitchcock’s Vertigo? It’s 50%.
I have no idea what you’re talking about
(also his FG% at the rim is higher this year than last year)
He’s looking like .3 percent better. Bagley will never be that good. The dude can’t dribble, his shot is not that good and he’s way too undersized
He’s a Sloppy Joe.
But we’re supposed to celebrate when they beat a stank Knicks team. Got it.
Every play Whitesides does is wrong. Fouling, not rim protecting, baiting Bagley into turnovers by calling for the ball in traffic. Just a horrible basketball player
He’s dumb and dumber
Bagley’s really improving. Lol. He just doesn’t play defense.
It would be nice if one of our 100 coaches would teach him.
i don’t think Zions gonna stay in NO he’s gonna waste his career there
Bush league call on the foul and the T on Marvin.
Weakest ejection on Bagley. Team Bagley twitter is about to light up
Shoot. What did I miss? Bags got ejected?
Horrible call on a ghost foul call followed by an undeserved T.
I’d be with Team Bagley if they do. That technical essentially means you literally can’t react to a foul call.
It’s ok he wasn’t gonna play much longer in the game anyways
Yeah, he completely held Zion to being a non-factor in the game. Yeah.
Walton should have argued until the refs would give him a T also. Malone did that to back Cousins. Plus a weak call.
I still can’t see why Bagley was tossed?
I missed it. What the heck happened?
Got a low-contact foul on Zion and then jumped up and down a few times
2 techs?
Yeah he got another meh one earlier
Bagley got called on a questionable foul on Zion and literally just hopped in place in disbelief for one second, which I guess is tech-worthy
No it isn’t tech worthy.
Ticket plans starting at $50 per seat? Jesus!
Buddy Hield…
Buddy Buckets was the first 4 years. We paid $86 million for Buddy Chuckets
You notice we go to the Barnes one on one game when we get down 10 or more? Then everyone else tries to go one on one.
Barnes can actually create his own shot, that is part of his game and it is his job to get a basket when it is needed the most.
I’m not saying he can’t. That was his 1st post up of the game when we’re down by 10. When the ball stops moving like it did, they go to Barnes. They should go to him earlier, but they tend to go to him only when the ball stops moving. And that’s too often, then that’s when hero ball starts. Watch the blowout losses
Every NBA team has a player that can post up, if not two, sometimes three, and their job, their role, among other things, is to go get the basket on their own to stop the bleeding or push the lead. That is what Barnes does for the Kings.
Man if they are serious about playoffs this is a game they have to win. If you look at the games around the league this win can move us up the standings. On the bright side, if we lose we get closer to Cade Cunningham 🙂
Luke Walton is a certified idiot.
This game is over
I meant this game is over for the Pelicans
the backcourt of Cory Joseph and Kyle Guy appears to be struggling out there. Weird.
Lol, That’s funny!
What a garbage 3rd quarter. This is a very winnable game, but there’s little defensive effort and we’re still chucking threes without trying to go inside first. Maybe we’ll see something different in the 4th.
Walton’s offense is a clogged and overflowing toilet.
What are NBA refs salaries? And why the incompetence?
+$500 if the Kings lose
-500 if the Kings win
The Donaghy Club alive and well
Agreed
Last 5+ games Fox has started looking like a max player. I like it.
Wow. FOX.
Fox force five….
Premature Stamp It????
Yes. The Kangz are still in this game.
Reply fail
That was the lowest point of the season for Jones and Doug and that is saying something.
Fox just single-handedly bamboozled an entire squad of professional basketball players
This was meant for just one play but it was pretty much the story of the fourth quarter.
If was one of the best fake pass look off layups of the season. I knew what your point was, and you’re right it was a great play and a great quarter for him.
You had me with the “bamboozled” part
Fox goes with the NBA TV Highlights move.
Dr. Holmes son with the block of the nite.
I was eating pork chops for the end of the 3rd and most of the 4th and I come back to a comeback. PORK CHOPS ARE NOW THE OFFICIAL FOOD OF THE COMEBACK KANGZ
Fox playing at All Star level.
He will need to do the same Against the Clips, Nugs, Sixers, Nets, and Celtics. All coming up. Big Time players step up against Big Teams.
Hey…you.
STAMP IT!!!!
Looks like a Fox “imprint” game to me.
STAMP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want the road trip to continue. Can the NBA move the game to Boston instead?
Fox statement game. He’s got my all star vote. Hitting free throws. Keep it going young man!!!
Fox stepping up
What a game by Fox tonight
It’s sooooooooooooo satisfying seeing Fox kick Ball’s ass every time he sees him.
There is a joke in there somewhere…ð¤
Held Pels to 15 in the 4th. Good stuff
Defensive effort definitely picked up. Pels were never playing that well and this is how the whole game should have gone the whole time. But good the see the D stepping up in the 4th, and Fox destroying their defense.
Gotta give credit to Barnes and Holmes keeping the team in the game. Hitting shots. Making hustle plays. Get the W.
Have a rec and a thumbs up. Want to go look at the stats and see how many blocks Dr. Holmes’ son had. A great quarter for him.
6 for the game. 3 in the 4th. He was good.
Thank you for the assist. He really played excellently knowing he was it at the 5 without Marvin.
De’Aaron Fox. That is all.
Fox closed that game out like a true leader!!!!! Fun game to watch. Felt Bagley got screwed on both of those calls. Good on the Kings to not let that take them out of the game. GO KINGS!!!!!!
No points for me on predictions.
Fox needs help. Then we’ll judge the max contract.
It seemed like Haliburton didn’t have that good of a game, but he was our leading rebounder with 11
He will always have a random stat that just makes you smile. Every night it will be something that shows he will do whatever he can to help this team.
That’s putting the team on your back, Fox. Great performance. I am still trying to figure out what this team’s goal is? Play in or High Draft Pick. 15 teams have a record below .500. Right now they are looking at 10-12 pick again. Not exactly an area for a franchise player. If they’re fighting for a play in and don’t make it, it will be be another wasted season. No high pick in a loaded draft and still no playoffs. 5 out of the next 6 games are rough: Celtics, Nuggets(They will be looking for revenge), Clippers, Sixers, Magic and Nets.
While you’re over there counting stats…I’m over here partying after this win! Here I saved you a beer. Drink!!!!
Unfortunately I dont think we will know unless trades are made in the near future.
De’Aaron Fox… what a huge game… I’m so glad we have a legit all star. Please stay healthy. Also…. Lonzo…. lol.
I tried to record the game but it didn’t work. Love reading the comments chronologically so I can get a sense for the overreaction I would have felt throughout the game. Thanks everyone!
I missed the game and the thread… I was listening on the radio driving home. I agree about the comments. I love the sequence. I’ll watch when it replays at 11:00
Only watched the highlights of the game, but man Fox really torched Lonzo again and a perfect night from the free throw line
