I suck at gifs Ă°ÂŸÂ˜Â…
Go Kings….
Please can Ty3ese be the first guard off the bench?
Hail-excited
Go Kings and stay healthy!
I need me some of the best rookie of the 2020 class on the court – ASAP
beauuuuutiful first play!
Bags with an assist right off the bat.
Bang Buddy!
Holy crap, Bagley with the beautiful dime!
Great start! Nice dime by Bagley
Kings brilliant to start. Credit where it’s due.
Whattta Start
I think we should give Bagley a chanceĂ°ÂŸÂ¤Â”
Let’s keep this Bagley and get rid of the one that wants to show everyone what an awesome player he is with his back to the basket
Damn tyrese lookin good
Forget trading Barnes
Lol does Fox really need a minutes restriction? Looks completely fine to me
Haliburton comes in and immediately gets a block and nearly a steal
I really like this lineup
(5-24-0-40-22, I mean)
3 guard lineup looks snappy.
Haily with the Larry Bird Shot!
This isn’t gonna last lol
I hope it does lol.
Told you
35 points with 4 mins left smh as to way we can’t do this every game!
I don’t like that timeout – you’re boat-racing them, just keep running
WHAT IS GOING ON?????
(Please don’t stop)
just Like the playground
This… this puts a smile on my face.
Fuckin bagley… had burton wide open smh
I hate Bagley, I will say he looks like a much more willing passer as of late
he is just so easy to score on. 3 in his face and a drive where he doesn’t even put his hands up.
Omg that pissed me off. He didn’t even try to block it
I think the refs would have called a foul on him. Sucks but true.
McNair please hurry and remove CoJo from this roster
Haliburton is fuckin amazing
My god….Hali is incredible
goodness he has impeccable timing. He is their best player already
I once thought Fox should gave Hali the ball in the last possession…(which Fox resulted in a TO)
Kings need to do a better job on the boards.
Most of Raptors points were when Bagley was guarding, it’s so frustrating
This is enjoyable to watch.
Kings should be up 20 after the 1st quarter. With a game tomorrow, they need to blow the Raptors out and have the bench play the all of the fourth
Great defense Kings.
Did Doug just say the Kings’ defense got them this lead?
19 point lead down to 5 in a flash
Shit, it’s a five point game from nowhere
From no defense
Can we please get the 44th point
Bjelly’s drives are always terrible… why does he pass up so many decent shots?
I see a Rick Adelman cut out when the Kings are at the line.
Why is tyrese taken out before cojo?? Smh
Seriously like wtf
Barnes earning his pay.
Has been all seasson.
He’s been awesome so far
HB Beasting!
Lol review that so you can’t in the second half Ă°ÂŸÂ¤Â£ right?
Bagley is a target so obvious for Raptors’ guards to attack
Still don’t know what on earth this team was thinking signing Whiteside. He’s already, predictably, deemed unplayable
Bjeli and Bagley on the floor together seems…. less good.
I miss fox’s old hair
These Bjelly deep 3’s been brutal all year. Just ugly bricks
And he drives when he is free
SOAB!
Well, that was quick…
back to Earth in 6 mins ?
They said early on Toronto was prone to coming back from big deficits.
The Rap are way better than their record shows
STOP PLAYING Cojo, bjelly, and Marvin together. It’s not hard to figure out that you need Fox or Tyrese out there at all times. Luke is so damn bad Jesus
Dammit let Tyrese be the PG!
Haliburton really is the lipstick on this pig. Dude covers up a lot of warts
4 fouls for Holmes. Ooph
Less Cojo, more GR 3
Might have to bring in white side
GRIII deserves more minutes
Whiteside is def gonna play this game
Why isn’t Bagley in?
2 on 1 break with Fox/Hali results in a one handed jam by Fox. This is the dream
Buddy playing Defense!
GR3 solid mins off the bench
Let Hali finish first half, man
Hellaburton making it Hella Easy, which is my official submission for his nickname!
Too many fckin fouls
Game gonna come down to whichever team can play just a sliver of defense for a few minutes
Or which team goes cold for a longer period of time
Lol that’s more likely. Need the rim to be the Kings best defender this half
It’s like an all star game…. with one all star… I love it!
Glad I took the over on this one.
Good recovery, kind of pissed since the the 3 by Hali was waived off. It kind of killed the momentum for us.
OT: Why does the Rockauto.com cartoon spokesperson/singer look like a meth addict? None of the other characters look as bad as he does.
Bagley is looking better on offense but he’s such a liability on defense, he should sit another 4th quarter
He’s a 6th Raptor on defense!
Maybe I missed it between Capitol chaos and Covid confinement, but why is Draper doing the broadcasts now?
They are switching between him and Marc Jones
Thank you sir
Gotta slow down VanVleet if the Kings want to get the win
Not even 3 minutes into the 3rd and the RAptors already hit 80 points. Sheesh
layup drills for the Raptors
Lol Kings shooting 70% fg in the 3rd quarter.
For the game
and losing because the Kings have no interest playing any sort of defense
Pffff, they don’t pay them to play defense.
Where is the defense?
what’s that?!?!
Clearly Walton and Nurse pooled some money for a bet on the over.
Defense could not make the game today due to health and safety protocols
He’s been on the bench..
Play. Some. Defense!
Kings are shooting 69% from the field, 52% from three, and are losing. That shouldn’t be possible.
wow
so many easy layups
starting to smell like ‘classic kangz 3q’
GET A FUCKING STOP!
lay up drill!
Chit chat, take that, ya dirty rat.
