Great win for the kings tonight! The loss from the wizards the other night, just gave the kings the motivation to go out and compete against the cavs and beat them on their home court. A W is a W!
LFG
The wizards beat the Nuggets with Joker. They are not a bad team just tanking.
I was listening to the G man call the game and he said the team had a team meeting after the wizards loss
This team is so frustrating. The inconsistency is wild. We're one of the best teams some days and other days we're on the worst. They're just like our weather.
Love the fan comments!
Good win. 10 bench points for the kings vs 41 for Cleveland though. A common discrepancy. Man, the Kings bench is horrible.
I’m done with the team. Enjoy a first round exit and no draft pick
Last guy speaking facts. Big temp
comm'On Matt, wins aren't always coming along as we expected yet the Kings are showing to everybody that they can compete the best teams n the NBA
Riley temple was awesome!
Kangs-a-coaster
Kings to win the chip this season!! Keon gets finals MVP!
Sabonis can’t handle ball always highest turnovers.
Perhaps this is the day it started, the gelling of the team, then the winning out of the remainder of the season leading to more chemistry and renewed confidence, the momentum swinging and carrying us into the play-in, followed by the now inevitable Playoff series where the Kings Shock the Thunder in a 4-1 takedown to move on to the next series…
Hey, it's the Kings right, anything can happen 😛
LTB!
knew we was gonna beat em🤩
"Damn you, Hyde! Take all your evil deeds and rot in Basketball Hell!"
"We're already there, Jekyll!"
Kangz version of "Confrontation"
BIPOLAR!!!
I’ll never understand
I’ll happily take it though!
Great Job Matt! People needed to hear this! Too many Kings fans and maybe the shitty front office would think this season to be a success if they got to the playoffs. I think a lot like you, to me it is all about competing with elite teams. The Kings have not shown over that last three years that they can compete with elite teams in a playoff series. The Warriors were not an elite team. When the solve their severe deficiencies, rim protection, top 10 defense, especially three-point defense and sharing the ball on offense, then and only then can I believe in them. It is all about making noise in the playoffs, moving deep into at a minimum the Western Conference Final and showing they can truly complete for a championship. You are correct, there must be consistency especially on defense for that to happen.
There is one interesting thing to think about and you are right overall, it will not let them advance, but DeRozan and Lavine have not tasted the playoffs for a long time, how would they play on the biggest stage if they were lucky enough to get there? That would be interesting!
Great game, great podcast, I wish keon would shoot more 3's
I have flat out been saying since the beginning of the season Keon needs to shoot more. why is the coaching not pushing that!
