If the Suns score more points that the Kings tonight I will refuse to accept the result, however, should the Kings score more points then it would have been a fair game for all parties involved. Go Kings!
I get it.
Maybe sports isn’t your thing. Is it too nuanced?
Hey Gallo are you able to watch tonight? How do you feel about our chances my friend?
I hope Fox doesn’t get player of the week only to phone it in.
MCR – how many comments are in this thread? I show 3. Doesn’t make sense to me
Monk is doing everything!
I like that Brown took that time out and marched TD right over to the paint and coached him where to be.
And a couple plays later TD Stands in position and takes the charge and Coach showing his excitement. Good shit!
That’s good coaching
Both these teams running layup drills this entire half.
You can see the chemistry growing on this team. Monk, Mitchell, Huerter, Fox and Sabonis are starting to show intuitive feel for where each other are on the court, and it’s leading to some flashy plays.
That 3 pt play was all Davion
Monk thrives off of chaos
Booker hitting well contested shots and the Kings are still up 1 at the half. Given the choice between betting on a team of players continuing to succeed or a single player, I like my chances with the team.
This is entertainment. I like the matchup…. This should be a national televised game.
Booker single handily keeping the Suns in the game that entire first half
Murray looks awful, Monk looks amazing, Sabonis looks like the Hulk but with better fundamentals.
Maybe Murray needs to go back to the bench until he can get things straightened out – getting matched up on a starting forward every night is probably not helping him get some flow going.
Gallo is now in the house, and he very much likes our chances.
He arrived home just at the half. Been at The Palm St. till now, but knows nothing of remote posting, though he has an actual phone and a wife who is an IT professional. He, on the other hand, has never posted anything remotely. It’s sad, really.
Welcome!
Luckily I have a 29 year old son so I only text him less than 5 times per day with tech type questions. I can hear his eyes roll from Portland OR. It’s been that way for a while
Huerter 3PT regression hitting him like a ton of bricks. Hopefully it’s not much longer until he finds his stroke again from deep
Booker going crazy
This game is over. Kings don’t play defense and can’t trade shots with Suns all game.
I disagree
Ok! I want the Kings to win. Just don’t see it.
Really disappointed by Fox’s vanishing act.
Booker gonna go for 50 at this rate. Sheesh
Folks might be experiencing login issues with TKH. I know I do regularly and it’s worse tonight.
Yeah I saw your posts and a couple of others for almost an hour into the game
Booker gonna kick his leg out and fall over after every contested jumper from here on out to get gift calls, making it even harder for the Kings to defend him
And then whines to the refs and gets his second T
It can’t happen soon enoughh
DAAAVVVIIIOOONNN!
A little Euro for no defense
What’s up with Fox?
Bench has carried us as far as they can. It’s De’Aaron Fox time.
Defense needs to step up against a very good offensive team.
Keegan for trey
Massive 3 for Kings AND for Murray
Kings keep getting within 4 or so points but then Phoenix immediately goes on a run to go back up 10. Just can’t seem to fully break through
So sweet
Woooooohooooooo!
They’re good to watch this year
Their offense is good. My rule is that when my time is down buy 20 for more than a minute I change channels. I haven’t had to change channels this year. This is….good
I am entertained. Rebound, make your freethrows and let’s light that beam
Booker playing damn near the entire game
Damn near. Math ain’t my thing but I think he’s had 1.5 minutes off
Fox needs to get his head in the game. What a joke.
Player of the week, it was announced he’s having a kid, he changed agents and now he can’t hustle?
Sharing is caring. DC
Kings taking advantage of the extremely short rest that Booker is getting here. I assume he’ll probably be back in the game after that timeout. Suns need him to play 40+ minutes and score 40+ points if they’re gonna hold the Kings off
Fox and Monk and 24 minutes
Right on cue, Booker in the game to likely go the rest of the way. Kings defense gotta bottle him up as much as possible
Malik Monk is doing so much things
YES HE IS
motor is innate (fox). been saying for years. might keep him from all star consideration in his career, and needs to be directed for the good most of the time
Monk signing gotta be one of the biggest bargains
Booker keeps getting away with pushing off with his off arm. What a joke
Lee being left wide open for these 3’s
Can’t let Lee make uncontested shot
Ready for Fox to smoke a 12 footer fade away.
smoked that point blank floater right now
There’s still time.
Sabonis is being too pass-ive… He needs to take it to the hole.
They could run it through him on the low post more in every game.
As always hard to tell.
or not
Take Fox out. It’s not his night.
Hail mary challenge but don’t blame the coach. Don’t see that being overturned. Looking at a likely 7 point deficit now.
Fox turnover and that’ll do it. Ooph
Turnover plus a terrible game. I think this play by Fox is more serious than folks will acknowledge.
Man, Davion should’ve closed this one instead of Fox
I wonder if he ran out of gas. He was working hard on Booker.
Very entertaining game.
Disagree. It’s not fun to watch your borderline AS point guard not show up to multiple games.
Chris Paul?
Best steal of the season
Huerter can’t buy a 3 but he’s done so many other things well tonight. Kings have some sign of life
Good steal!!!
Of course they fail to grab the board
3 Kings at the rim and they can’t get a rebound.
Hold the ball for 4 seconds Barnes! Good work!
Lmao Kings allergic to rebounding
So what’s up with Fox? 12 shot attempts for 11 points?
I think he wasn’t 100% felt like I saw him grab at his right hamstring slightly in the second half. They didn’t say anything about it in the broadcast but seemed off to me. Besides his shot.
Crap, I hope he’s ok.
Not saying he was hurt for sure, just sharing my observations
Won’t concede or certify this game. I demand a recount.
That’s why sports is better than politics. You get an instant result, everything is visible, performance matters, no lying.
Unless the league office is fixing that particular game.
Is Ayton Bigfoot?
Need to find that 5th starter who will actually produce offensively and/or defend.
Had our chance. Up 3 late. Too much Booker the first three quarters and too much Damion Lee the last one. Agree with others that Murray needs to come off the bench. His lack of production cost the Kings tonight. I think Lyles would’ve made the difference.
I think if we had a rim protector this would have been a different game. Domas can’t block Ayton
To be fair, Ayton couldn’t stop Sabonis either.
Warriors won NBA without one .
Pacers beat LA! We need to beat the Pacers Wednesday to equate Kings>LA
