Missed all but the 4th quarter of that last game and I can’t imagine how miserable everyone was watching all of it. A win tonight would go a LONG way in settling people’s nerves. Not counting on it.
Let’s go Kings!
Everyone, don’t jinx the good start
Going after them in the paint instead of spraying bricks. Decent idea.
HOORAY pirate broadcasting company using OKC broadcast team DOH they stink.
I have the NBA TV broadcast. It’s mostly pleasant to my ears.
Fox is doing all he can to give the ball to OKC.
Keon starts and immediately the defense is awesome
The Kings are markedly better with Keon starting. He’s a disrupter on the defensive end.
He makes the defender work for a shot.
DeRozan explosion
Glad Keon is stepping against SGA. He is on track for 48 with 15 assists and ten rebounds.
Is this the same Kings team that played last night?
Kings playing about as well as they possibly can against a team missing two major contributors and it looks like they’re still just barely hanging on. The difference between them and OKC is palpable – and OKC is WAAAAYYYYY younger.
Great game so far. Kings have been super competitive. If SGA misses a couple more and Fox makes a couple more the next half, I like their chances.
The Kings need to stop playing to the level of their opponents and play like this every night for Pete’s sake!
Brown is still riding the starters to hard. Fox, DeMar, Domas, and Keegan are on pace for 40 minutes.
Isaac Jones made a cameo. That didnt last long. Lyles appeared to injure his leg/foot, so he was limited. Not sure why Robinson is glued to the bench. Now Colby doesn’t get any time after getting extended minutes last game.
Brown is throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.
People other than Fox are scoring. Very little ISO Fox. We are playing basketball.
refs owe the Kings some favorable calls after that foul on Monk
Isaac Jones played well, then out after 2 or 3 possessions. Back to DeRozan to get his 40+ minutes tonight on a back-to-back
Absolutely ridiculous. No O-Rob or Len again. So two centers on the bench Brown won’t play?
It feels like Brown is trying to send a message to Monte to get him some different bench players. Maybe Brown should trust the guys he has and see what happens.
Totally agree. It sure does seem like that’s what’s going on.
Brown needs to utilize his bench a little more. These guys are going to need a break.
Take out Huerter already and put Jones back on.
Huerter puts both hands in Wulliams back and shoves him, then gets mad a foul was called.
another bad call on Sabonis
and the call in the first half on Fox when the opponent hooked him?
biggest run of the game thus far is the refs against the Kings
This one is slipping away.
Huerter’s stat line is atrocious. 1 rebound. Boogie Ellis is better.
I am so sick of refs making atrocious calls with no repercussions. Makes me not want to watch.
it was a one-point game when the refs went on their little run there and now the Kings have to overcome a double-digit deficit.
The NBA’s referees are either corrupt, inept or completely out to get the Kings.
It’s totally normal for a playoff team to have an undrafted two-way 6’8″ guy as the backup center, right Monte?
that was out of bounds on Lu Dort. play on I guess.
Fox is a no show tonight but he’ll drop 10 or 15 before they lose. Fox is not a winner. He’s very talented but he’s not a winner.
So extended minutes now, FINALLY, for Jones? Great job with the rotation Brown.
Only because Lyles got hurt.
Right…. forgot about that.
Fox been looking like he’s trying to blend in and just look like another guy in a purple unform
A bunch of f-$#ing BS about Fox being fired up now. Kayte said, Fox being fired up has translated to his game. Not to wins though! Down by 14 in the 4th is not the time to FINALLY get fired up.
He definitely wasn’t fired up this game.
He was fired up for about 2 minutes about 5 minutes ago…LOL
The Zebras are NBA Cancer. How to get rid of them
“Could it be time for the Fox takeover?” – Mark Jones (LOL)
Refs #28, #74 & #22 damn near triggered a riot in the area tonight with their incompetence. It was the worst exhibition I’ve ever seen. The three corrupt stooges!!!!
Live by the 2, die by the 3. Can we get some merch for that phrase?
Sabonis needs to bring the ball up the court more. Getting away from that is bad for us.
Kings might have to improve the way they play against the refs.
It was bad, but it wasn’t bad enough to get blown out by 17 points.
Well, I punished myself and watched. The 1st half was entertaining, in the 2nd half the better team pulled away. As of now the Thunder are shooting 60% overall and 50% from 3, while we’re at 28.6%. I suppose it’s possible that everyone but Keon became a poor distance shooter overnight, but I’d guess the offensive scheme and personnel have something to do with it.
Down 19 with 4 minutes to play and the starters still in the game, geez Brown.
What’s crazy is they were moving the ball so well in the first half, and then that just fully stopped in the second.
Completely different in the 2nd half. OKC might have adjusted at halftime, but the Kings had no answer.
But, like, they just fully stopped running any offense. No back cuts, no moving without the ball, none of that. Just all sloppy and disjointed iso ball.
It was ugly, for sure, lol.
At least play O-Rob. JFC
Thought Len wasn’t playing because he was injured or something. Seems like he would have matched up well with Hartenstein.
On the NBA TV broadcast, did y’all see the Thunder’s draft picks for the next few years? Good lord, I was jealous can’t lie. Four first rounders next year
The difference between superior ownership and a retarded one. Long term sustained success.
What has Monte done to this roster? Better tank the season. Don’t play Carter anymore & unload Huerter at the deadline. And Fox man…Lu Dort’s definitely got his number. SGA is way way much better than him. We threw Keon & Keegan at him yet he still scored at will.
