Hope they don’t let Edwards and company cook
Was looking forward to the Ox and Kat matchup
I like K9 (woof) but he needs a lot more practice at this job
Dang HB only came over in 2019… idk why it feels like he’s been here longer
I’ll just keep talking to myself in here… those Minnesota jerseys are kinda tough
You are doing an excellent job btw
Go Kings!
Go Keegan!
Go Golden 1 TKH commenters in attendance!
D3’Aaron!
What a laaaaaate whistle
TWolves are too comfortable
Kings gotta learn how to deal with lengthy teams… idk the answer
Um, defense fellas.
What channel is this game on!? I have Fubo and it’s always on NBC Sports California unless it’s a TNT game. I cannot find it!
Do you have Direct TV? It is not a TNT game.
i have Fubo which airs every game on NBC Sports California
The only game of the year that is somehow not available to me smh. Had to pay the NBA app to watch it on my phone ????
Crap, that sucks. Well it’s been a great game and I can hear the Golden 1 crowd here in Texas.
Just don’t get down big in the first half. This isn’t a team we can easily come back against.
3 left for K33gan
I heart Kessler Edwards
Kessler could be our X-factor like Leon Powe for the 07-08 Celtics
That would be awesome beyond belief. Leon Powe came up so big
The Black Falcon soars!
I think the King’s defensive scheme is to allow other teams in to the paint without resistance. Been that way all season.
Here’s hoping the Kings avoid Minny in RD1
That was a very unimpressive 1st quarter
One team was impressive, lol
IDK……didn’t look to me like they weren’t having to work that hard for their points
interesting that Brown is going with Len here
Who is he supposed to lay out?
Metu in the dog house, Holmes has been…you know. Len is the next guy I guess
Have we seen Neemie within the last 2 months?
it could also be the match-up
Metu back on the second row of chairs on the bench
Kings getting killed on the boards/OREB and giving up too many easy buckets. Brown trying to get some more size in there to match up vs this Wolves team
K’Von is gold with that short push shot
Kings 3PT shot ice cold thus far
Monk is such a frustrating player to watch. Jekyll and Hyde every possession
Do you all think that Mark Jones has a pad of paper with his catch phrases written down and just checks ’em off as the game goes? It’s the same tired stuff each game.
Nope I saw him on NBA Today and they showed him different clips to see how he would call it. Same old shit but no notes in sight
Kayte’s notes…
She has good analysis, just long winded.
Marty you are brilliant……..I wouldn’t have picked that up in a million years. It would probably help if I paid more attention to what she says
Y’all thought I was joking all this time didn’t you? 🙂
Did Gobert just push Barnes in the face?
I think he turned him into a newt
Kings doing a much better job on the boards in the 2nd, and sure enough they’re right back in the game
Interesting how defense and rebounding are so important to winning…
Take advantage of the bonus with continued paint touches.
Domas embarrassed Gobert there
Sabonis put Gobert on a poster!
starting to feel like that Kings Clippers game
Domas/Fox carrying them those last few minutes to get them the lead at half. Kings only 2/10 from 3PT in that 1st half too. Here’s hoping they find their deep shooting and have another big 3rd quarter like their last few games
Get Keegan and Huerter going, seal the deal.
The Association will never do it but Sabonis should be in serious running for the MVP. It is the Most Valuable Player and not the Best Player Award. No player has had a greater impact on his team winning than Domas. An argument can be made that Embid and Jokic are better data driven players, but Sabonis is more valuable to the Kings winning season and a huge improvement in their won lost record. His offensive production is excellent also in terms of double doubles.
Fox is 1st Team All NBA this season.
Suns win, Clippers game tied midway in the 2nd, but we all were already hoping the Kings clinch their playoff berth by simply winning their game tonight anyway
I want the answer to be…It’s playoff time when Kayte as him post game…What time is it Mr. Fox?
Kyle Anderson just collapsed and sold that crap.
Very….slowly…
Kyle Anderson plays in slow motion
5 fouls for Huerter and there’s still 7 minutes left in the 3rd. Yikes
Honestly Huerter hasn’t contributed much tonight that shows up on the boxscore
Fox
huge block
Fox wants this win badly
Gary Geroud wants it badly too. His voice is cracking and quivering with excitement calling the game on the radio.
No such thing as too much fun.
Sheesh, Murray can’t buy a basket
Needs a nice lay up to get going. Then a set 3
Dude’s had 2 3’s rattle halfway down and out.
Yeah, they looked good just didn’t drop
Fox/Domas/HB the only ones consistently scoring. Huerter’s pretty much erased for most of this half with 5 fouls. Need Monk/Murray/Davion/Lyles to pick up the slack a bit with some scoring help
Plenty of time left for Kayte to make more four-possession points.
“You can’t tell me that this fanbase is not starving for a playoff berth.”
WTF does that even mean?
The double negative is strong in that one
Don’t tell me that isn’t a great quote.
Foxy looks like he’s just vibrating. Got the buzz
3 ball just isn’t falling tonight
Damn Kings….can you hit SOME of your 3PT’s this game
Magic 8 ball says…..”not happening tonight…..take it to the hoop!!!
Ant off the court. Kings have got to regain the lead during this stretch
Naz hurt his hand dunking
Kings just continue to leave Naz completely left uncovered from 3
Take advantage of the situation and take the ball to the rack. It’s a make or miss league so go with the percentages.
Gobert activating CP3 mode with the flopping in this quarter here
Kings started the game with bad defense and are ending it with bad defense. Not getting any stops in this 4th
I hate to say it but I worry they’ll struggle in the playoffs.
Need to avoid teams with a lot of length. Gives this team fits. Hope they avoid Minny, who are about to go 3-1 vs the Kings without KAT playing a single one of those games. Oddly enough, I think they match up well with the Warriors, especially if Wiggins continues to be out. I wanted Dallas, but that’s wishful thinking at this rate
Live by the three and…
die by the 3
That’s pretty much been their formula all year. Get some playoff experience with this team this season, then McNair gotta find a way in the offseason to add pieces that can help boost this teams defense
Just too easy for Minny the entire 4th quarter.
Monk’s taken twice as many shots as Huerter.
I don’t like his play style. Too erratic for my liking.
If we lose I blame Kayte
Why?
I don’t know
You have to blame someone
ganeeee overrr
YOU SUCK KEEGAN!!!!!!
Fox had a shot right at the basket.
Defense?
Try it out?
Is it scary?
Too much work?
Want to win playoff games?
Why do we have such a hard time beating the fuckin 38-37 t-wolves
Length
This could be a scary preview to the playoffs.
Ok Kings, just avoid having 3PT shooting nights like that come playoff time. Thanks
work is gonna suck for no reason today. Hopefully I can get 4 hours of sleep ????
