Wembanyama is tall
-Captain Obvious.
Go Kings! Hello to all!
Yeah, you too!
Whaddup Mills. You good?
Doing pretty good! Had a great week and ending it with a Kings game! Hope you’re good as well!
I’m good as. 5.15pm on Friday afternoon here, sitting on the couch, one hand holding a beer, the other resting on my package. It doesn’t get better than this
That’s a good time out. Huerter had his hand truly on it that possession, lost his guy completely
as usual, Sabonis starting out strong. the others? …
Huerter stepping up
Huerter’s hot. Wembanyama with the no look to Sochan. Fun game so far.
don’t leave Sochan open under the hoop to double Champenny, come on
getting out of control reeaaalll fast
Successfully turned Wemby into a jump shooter but zero defense in the paint.
Well, the defense looks the same, maybe even worse at this point.
Every one ran away from Vasell when he had the ball at the 3pt line, so he just knocked it down
Lyles is wide open. Get him involved!
just missing them
He just got NAILED! That was a foul!
No fouls called in the 1st quarter for either team. Has to be a record.
Vassell is looking like an all-star. put Davion out there
Interesting matchups in the post. I wonder if we’ll see Fox post up Wemby.
Ugh, the Kings never fail to play down to their level of competition.
Please get this going and take care of business at home. Don’t have a repeat of what happened with Charlotte and Detroit.
We’re 4/13 from 3, spurs 4/6
Wemby subbed out and the Kings just kept shooting from distance.
Monk and Lyles both missed a couple open 3s. The shots are they just have to make them.
Good looks, just not falling.
Duarte’s hair just keeps getting bigger
Refs found their whistles.
TMI
Let’s keep it clean folks. LOL
LOL
If the Kings don’t make the playoffs, does the pick going to ATL turn into a 2nd rounder?
2024 first round draft pick to Atlanta
Sacramento’s 1st round pick to Atlanta protected for selections 1-14 in 2024, 1-12 in 2025 and 1-10 in 2026; if Sacramento has not conveyed a 1st round pick to Atlanta by 2026, then Sacramento will instead convey its 2026 2nd round pick and 2027 2nd round pick to Atlanta [Atlanta-Sacramento, 7/6/2022]
this is giving me PTSD from that JJ Hickson trade
Just need to make the playoffs this season, but it is looming over their heads
I found the All Star break very relaxing. No wins……….but more importantly…….NO LOSSES and………no pressure
Wow…lol…thanks!
Huerter with another big three. then Monk
Kings games are the only time I see commercials. Feel like I’m living in the past.
And now I suddenly want pizza.
Do it! Get some Pizza! LOL
They still sponsored by Pizza Guys?
The commercials I’m getting seem to be for national chains. I don’t even remember which pizza place it was.
There was a talking peanut butter and jelly sandwich involved.
Your dream lunch?
now they leave Wemby open under the hoop to double Cedi Osman??
Chris Duarte looking like a basketball player. Monk playing defense. Is it opposite day?
Maybe Duarte figures it out in the 2nd half of the season.
If we get this rebounding, shooting, and defense out of him for the rest of the season it answers a lot of questions. Not holding my breath.
He just has to be not awful. The bar is low.
For a second, Fox’s yellow sneakers confused me into thinking the refs had thrown a flag on the field.
Not seeing any grimacing or limping from Fox. I wonder if he’s close to 100%.
Huerter is balling
Mason Jones is a delight to watch. First one off the bench to celebrate teammates, looks excited to be there.
I want to see him play! Maybe if the Kings can build a lead in the second half…
OOOEEE! Real basketball!
They look good!
Looks like Duarte is having a pretty good game… oh I’m late
we are an entirely different team when the wings are hitting shots
Wow too quick turnovers. STOP!
Huerter is scoring well, and the team is getting careless defenisvely.
There’s something seriously broken with the Kings’ defense.
Poor job stopping perimeter penetration
Good to see HB come alive.
Barnes scares me when he drives with that herky jerky, stop and go action. Always think he is going to come up lame.
Kings look good. Kayte’s ultra long sentences are bad
She just rambles on and on.
that;s not a foul on Keegan. Vassell was out of control
these days, all a player has to do to get a foul called against Sac is drive out of control and fall down.
okay, time to put the clamps on Vassell. Davion time.
Sick fake by Sabonis!
Sabonis is a basketball God
Domas faked pass then eurostepped around wemby like he was a traffic cone.
Great move
Monk mini double pump jam!
I love Sochan’s game.
Love Mason’s hype on the bench! I want more of our guys to join in with him!
Might get Davion on the arm swipe before falling
Another unsuccessful challenge. WTF Brown.
yeah, save the challenge. but question the ref.
Domas and Velvet playing like cousins.
The Spurs have good defensive players but are a very bad defensive team. Many many breakdowns.
That Collins guy was a solid draft pick!
The Spurs are getting away with a lot… And I’m ok with it.
They better make sure they keep Domas’s double double streak going. Only 1 assist or 3 rebounds needed!
Done!
Fox does a good job of stopping in the middle of the paint when Wemby sinks back to the rim. Just drops the floater in there.
3 possession talk about a San Antonio assistant coach…
In a close game! LOL
Its been a fun, competitive game! Despite the slim lead, I still feel fairly confident Sacramento is going to win.
Kayte just said Sabonis got his 37th double double (I think that’s the number right?). Um, not yet Kayte! Look at the stat sheet before you talk!
wow, Kings just gave San Antonio a 3 on 1 off a missed three.
Every team shoots threes really well against Kings. And it’s not all bad defense. It’s just a phenomenon.
They shoot everything well against the Kings!
I think it was James Ham who talked to some opposing players and they said they like shooting at Golden One because the background is solid black seats, so it gives them a good background for shooting.
Yeah, def not the Kings’ defense!
again, Vassell drive out of control, falls down and gets the call
yup
yup
Triple double for Domas! Got to win this game!
Wemby is one assist shy of a 5×5
Huerter almost has 5×4!
?
Well shit, this is not looking good.
Kings let the Spurs hang around too long. Now they gotta find some heart.
7-0 runs always a good thing. Need two stops.
Wow Flopanyama
That was so bad.
Fox with the imprint. Steal on a sure slam dunk and a 3 to follow.
Sneaky one too.
big win!
19th triple double of the season and 38th consecutive double double on 73% shooting from Domantas “Not An All Star” Sabonis.
Amazing
Not to mention a huge game-sealing block and routine clutch scoring from De’Aaron “Not An All Star” Fox
Triple double 22-11-11
Dammit Monk enter the dunk contest!!!!! LOL! LTB!
Monk capped it off with a perfect Eastbay. Magic.
Great game. So entertaining. I love Popovich
Dodged a bullet there. LTB! It was nice seeing Fox playing more in control.
Damn that was fun. Wow.
Kyle Draper came into my row at halftime to talk to one of his friends. I told him I thought Celtics-Clippers in the finals. He said “Not the Kings?” Had a nice chat after that. Very friendly guy.
