Gallo del Cielo likes the Kings’ chances!
That doesn’t bode well for Bong Hit Walton’s detractors.
No, it never does.
Pass that thing over here.
Why do I sense that Bagley gets some run tonight?
Let’s go Kangz
What if Kings lose tonite. But Win in Minny. Does that mean Walton gets a 3 year extension
“This time,” he said again, “things will be different!”
Metu is having a nice little game. Bench him!
Barnes 48mins
It’s freaking lame that a win against this terrible team could save Walton’s job.
They won’t fire him if Sacramento wins, but it wouldn’t exactly pad his list of accomplishments, either.
Here’s the list:
CoJo in! We’re finished!
Pistons certainly living up to their “worst shooting team in the league” moniker they’ve been earning this season.
Yup, they can do everything but score.
Does Fox really believe these long twos are going to get him out of this bad shooting stretch?
Crazy stat of the moment: The Pistons already have 7 offensive rebounds, but only 4 FG made.
LOL, Kings playing Bagley… I wonder why?
What are the odds Bagley’s on the plane to Minnesota tonight? Perhaps if he hurts himself and the deal falls through….
We got a Bagley sighting
Wow. This Kings team is great ????
C’mon, Kings. This is no way to get rid of Luke
I called it. And there’s Bagley.
Showcasing his 2nd round pick value.
Cojo letting me down
Is that already the 3rd airball from 3 from the Pistons this quarter alone? Jeez
Really, Pistons? 12?
These Pistons have good air-ball proficiency
This is not looking good. Hope Marv has a career night tonite and gives the Pistons a good long look at his potential. From what I’ve seen of the Pistons tonite he would fit right in
How does Detroit have 3 wins?
You say that is if it was impossible that they may have four in a few hours.
We can hope but that’s not looking likely
Hope springs eternal.
Call me crazy, but wasn’t Bagley supposed to be a low post talent? Why is he sitting outside
He doesn’t understand position.
Give Walton a freakin extension
lol
It’s just delaying the inevitable. Kings get the PLay in by default. Lose and Walnuts gets a 3 year extension.
Jesus, this is ridiculous. Even more ridiculous is that they could still blow it.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Just got home….is this for real?
Detroit can’t hit the side of a barn. I’m not sure there is anything the Kings are doing differently.
Can the Kings blow a 30 pt lead to save the season?
That team beat Toronto?
Walton saves himself from the hot seat!
I actually feel bad for Bagley.
i don’t. Not since he refused to go in.
IF Detroit can get it to 10-12 before the half thy’re in good shape to scrap back into it.
Pistons gotta be drooling over Bagley
LOL
So you’re telling me there’s a chance
So we spotted them twenty four points and now comes the fall.
Still amazed that Kings turned Bagley from a rim running.lob guy with inside scoring skill into a non entity.
Cade is deceptively good. Very smooth.
Think he’s worthy at number one? Guess time will tell.
Haliburton had a much better start to his rookie year. Cunningham is gonna be good though.
Not sure how a #1 pick is “deceptively good”. People were trying to compare him to LBJ, which is a huge reach.
deceptive in how he moves. it’s very methodical
Hasn’t Fox been on him?
Block, board, outlet, assist. Gorgeous.
Playoffs here we come!
Jerami Grant with straight zeros across the board for a -23. Could it be his agent let him know he’s in trade discussion to the Kings and he doesn’t want to go?
Bagley, TT and a protected pick for Grant?
This would be an absolute swindle
Grant would be a very nice get.
Fox is having a nice game at both ends.
Watching the Kings beat up on this NCAA team ft. CoJo doesn’t really make me feel any more optimistic about their future prospects with this roster construction and this coach.
Agreed, it’s time to start speaking about Walton in the past tense.
There goes your chance of working in the Kings Department of Unearned Forever Extensions!
Bey commits an offensive foul on every drive. How do then not call that push off with the off arm?
Very nice half on both ends of the floor.
Marv with 1 board and nothing else in 7 minutes is not doing himself any favors
I’m off work, so have a good one, kids!
“Work!”
Bagley did nothing in seven minutes to give us any hope of trading him. We may just have to release him and get nothing for a second overall pick. Thanks Vlade
I’d be more sympathetic to Bagley’s situation if it wasn’t for his camp’s insistence on highlighting him as being this impactful player when he could quite simply not demonstrate it on the court consistently. Injuries have of course held him back, but he hasn’t delivered anything since his rookie year. He needs to take ownership and grind to improve himself as a player. Don’t know if we’ve ever seen that from him.
At this point no one gives a flying f about Bagley or his camp. Well, except you.
Agree, but my biggest problem with him is that I see no improvement at all
Don’t worry, Marv will get 10 and 8 in garbage time.
It’s nice to see the team rallying around their coach.
Couldn’t find the sarchasm font?
sarcasm?
Holmes was mugged
Love Mitchell sacrificing his body.
“good defense by Marvin Bagley should be noted”
LOL!
Metu one point, one board away from double double. Want to see if he gets it. The only reason I’m watching this game
Tyrese is having himself quite a game.
Do the players like Walton?
I think Detroit are just really bad
Ok, that last play by Bagley disqualifies him from ever playing basketball again.
Tyrese has mastered leaping in the air without a clue of what he wants to do
Why the F is Mitchell not playing more? Last couple games?
Well, you see Luke was watching film the other day and…..
Ha. Is it could trouble? Or just Pukes ineptitude ?
I think the latter..
Oops. Foul trouble. Not could trouble
And Metu gets his double double
How many losses in a row, from this game on, would it take for Walton to get fired?
Too many.
Can’t believe this win over this team reduces the heat on his ass much
Why is Barnes in?
Because Louis King is still in the G league…for some reason.
Nice to finally have a wire to wire win. Good game all around
we’re still ass and were gonna lose by 29 the next game
Luke is good again! Hallelujah!
My takeaway – this team responds to threats and ass-chewings, not coddling by coaches they really, really like.
My takeaway; mediocre team beats bad team.
OKC and SA then?
My takeaway: Pistons are by far the worst team in the league.
Nice!
Wow…yeah…Walton’s all fired up in the postgame interview. Metu is “gaining trust?” What an idiot.
