Scheduled Win.
Or trap game?
I feel like I remember they were on a SEGABABA for last year’s debacle
We cannot let that walking brick Poole have a good shooting night against us
Alternatively he can get two fouls in two minutes.
Ive been very satisfied watching him get exposed as a complete fraud this season. If he’s not shooting well (which is every other night, at least) he’s literally unplayable. He brings nothing else to the table. But since he won a ring next to Steph and can occasionally get 30 people really thought he was a star in the making. His lionization was the prime example of national media not knowing anything about what winning basketball actually looks like.
All the starters besides Sabonis laid an egg in the first. Well done.
Even Sabonis is doing that thing where he forgets he’s 6’10” 240 on drives
Come on Fox. Jeeze.
Once again playing like we’re the ones on a SEGABABA
Bibby said the Kings needed to hit them quick in the first six minutes. So much for that.
So when are the wizards supposed get gassed after playing yesterday? Kings need to keep attacking the rim. Murray has no 3 attempts.
Keegan only took one shot.
Wizards offering zero resistance to the rim and the Kings keep settling for a bit too many 3’s. Keep attacking them
Get to the rim fellas
Poole is a traffic cone on defense. Just go right at him
Keon can stop shooting 3s any time.
Continue to be impressed with Vezenkov’s help defense.
Step back from 25 feet for Huerter? It’s really clear what’s working against the Wizards and the Kings ain’t doing it.
Kings just simply missing wide open 3’s this half. It’s keeping Washington in the game
Ellis says naw…. Fun game.
Domas is so consistent. We are very fortunate to have him.
Kings kicking it up now. Build this lead up some more and you’ll see more low % chucks from Kuzma/Poole
BLACK FALCON
Fox/Domas dominating out here
Nice little run there. Defense isn’t just forcing the other team into bad shots, it’s the catalyst for easy buckets like Barnes just had.
There are a lot of coaches in the league I’ve seen pitched as “shot doctors” and almost all of them have never improved a thing for anyone. But Luke Loucks has made Fox and Sabonis’ legit perimeter threats, and may have even made Monk, Barnes and Murray even better than they already were.
They should give him a new title..Three Point Coach!
Can’t believe Poole is actually hitting his 30 ft 3’s so far this game. Annoying
The wiz will get blown out and Poole will call it a good game
I like how once Poole got traded there and Kuzma re-signed, EVERYBODY knew exactly how this team would look….and it hasn’t disappointed. Complete comedy
Seattle just beat Philly
Woo! (neutral NFL fan with no 49ers alleigances)
Fox is back to bricking FTs 🙁
He just made up for it, but his FT’s are frustrating to say the least.
After dramatically improving it to a career best % last year, it’s dipped back down again, but on the flip side, his 3PT % has jumped to a career high. I’ll take that trade off lol
Let the stomping begin.
Let the Poole/Kuzma ISOball low % chucking offense also kick it up a notch(to the detriment of their team of course)
Keegan getting his shot back while maintaining his new level of defense and rebounding is a scary sight for the league
Keeg in the post!
It must suck for the wizards not named Poole and Kuzma. The ball sticks in those hands and you know shots going up.
Someone get Tyus Jones off this 2-7 Sunday rec league squad
Huerter dunk!
K-Von!!!
Just toying with the Wizards this quarter now
In the paint, where good things happen
This is the way you play a bad team!
Kings have a ton of quality wins but their losses have all been beatings which has tanked their net differential. They took these 2 games vs bad teams as a mission to correct things a bit there lol
Washington are supremely bad. I think this is the laziest defence I’ve ever seen, and I’ve watched a lot of Kings games
Both teams looking like they’re playing pickup: Wizards by the nature of their existence, Kings by the joy they’re playing with.
One could argue that SA or DET are worse squads, but at least they have the benefit of being young.
This Wizards squad is a complete disgrace of a basketball team.
I think it’s the worst roster in the league.
Put this away by the start of the 4th, I want a JTA 15 piece
They really could just walk to the rim every time down the court at this point. Wizards not wasting a single ounce of energy on the defensive end. Damn they’re bad
Wizards bigs, smalls, mediums and extra mediums are all sof in the paint.
I am very glad Kuzma is not on the Kings. Just looking at him makes me not like him.
Yeah just go ahead and let Kuzma drive straight down the floor every time.
Kuzma gotta be thrilled right now. He can get his shots up to his hearts content with this deficit and get his points
Might be a good idea to try and stop him.
Refs do not like Keon
Too easy for Fox
Will the Kings be outscored by 22 points by the worst roster in basketball in the 4th quarter?
No. No, I don’t think they will.
Goodnight, everyone. Light The Beam.
Poole shooting 29% from 3PT on the season so of course he’s having his best shooting game of the season tonight. Fortunately, shouldn’t matter. Just uncanny how this seems to always happen vs the Kings. These aren’t even good looks or good decisions for the most part! Dude just chucking 30+ ft 3’s. Annoying
Good defensive effort from Sasha
Another Poole moment…Pulling on Monk’s shorts. Ha!
Poole’s got eight threes.
Sasha gotta take that open 3 man…
Don’t give them hope…
Too late
And…….back to how they played in the first quarter.
Just keep attacking the basket.
literally there all game long
Absolutely terrible defense by the Kings in this game.
Don’t really agree, though they are fouling too much. Wizards are just annoying hot from 3, which for whatever reason, seems to always happen when teams play the Kings. Poole is taking straight up terrible shots from 30+ feet out(his usual) and is hitting everything tonight.
Oh man, I hope Fox doesn’t start smoking jump shots.
KEEGAN!
What a great assist by Domas
Kuzma has no clue what defense is.
Terrible finish by the end of bench guys. Not earning any playing time with this showing. Turned this into a single digit lead
35 assists to only 7 turnovers. That will work every time.
