I can finally listen to a king’s positive podcast this month lol
Max is super easy to root for. Eubanks is most definitely better then I thought He would be.
Not that anyone cares really nor should they but Pacers were without their top FOUR point guards for multiple games already this season.
Both Obi Toppin and Benn Mathurin got hurt Game 2. Mathurin missed a month and Toppin is still out.
Nembhardt was hurt the first 10 minutes of Game 1 of season and missed about a month. He's not flourishing literally at all as the starting point guard.
Nesmith has been out for almost a month now so your talking 90 percent of last years finals team has missed at least month.
Why I'm not a fan of tanking at all. Just look at the New Orleans pelicans team thinking last two years would be 'gap years' and then they would pick up where they left off.
It just does absolutely not work like that. Once them losses start to pile up for whatever reason it's extremely difficult not to stay derailed.
No team wants to lose to the 4-17 team even when players are healthy again finally. A team is judged by its record and rightfully so.
I'm not a big injury excuse Giy at all even though the Pacers have a legit argument. They are playing better but definitely beatable
This is exactly what The Kings need from Lavine every night!
The Kings need Lavine to get serious about being a top scoring threat because it drives up his trade value.
It would be fun to see russ, zach, Keegan, maxime, and domas start together when domas comes back
Feast or famine Lavine. Let’s keep our eyes on the prize of a good draft pick this year boys 🙏
Maxin and Nique 👏 👏 👏… that kids are alright.. Another key, Keegan 16pts, 2blk 2stl. That’s what we need to see from him in any game… as far as Lavine goes.. if he had been half as aggressive as he was tonight the Kings would at least be competitive this season.
The Kings are so stupid they win when they need to lose winning gets the Kings nothing but a bad draft pick every day that we get closer to the end of the season there more the Kings will regret that they win… Jesus the Kings can't even lose when they need to..this win can make the difference of the Kings getting a great player that we can start to win with or get a bad player and start losing again stupid Kings.
Of the lottery pick rookies this year, only Cooper Flagg had a double double in his first start with the Mavs winning that game by 16 or more points. Max is in pretty good company.
I still want Lavine off my squad
Doug Christie coached intelligently tonight. He put in the right rotation and defense looks good. Doug Christie needs to see the film over and over again and figure it out what works and what does not. Instead of justifying himself in the media.
While for mental health reasons we might need a few wins, I really hope that the Kings secure the worst record in the NBA or second worst record. I know that sounds crazy. I have a good reason for it though.
I just want to see the Kings have every possible chance to get a top 3 pick especially. I really am hoping the Kings get Boozer in the draft.
So, if the Kings only win 15-20 games, I can live with that.
I just love the idea of Boozer and Murray in that front court next season. Having either Clifford or Ellis starting as the SG and then whatever we end up with at C and PG in the starting lineup next season, I think works. Probably a bad team still, but I am hoping that it will be the type of team that can build towards something great in the long run.
trade Lavine asap, its not consistent
Toxic people justifying their toxicity is one of the wildest constants in sports 😂😂😂
Zach has been battling injuries for 3 straight years on his zion ish. Then hes has the best season of his career as he finally stays healthy. However the horrible chicago organization and fanbase betrayed Zach as they wanted Giddy and Coby friggen white to "grow more" aka put up more stats. Zach loved being in chicago and was finally healthy and hoopin but Chi thought theyd be better off nah look at em
Fighting back after not being able to see the court for years takes its toll on especially after getting trader during your bounce back season.
People are very selective with who they give understanding to Klay gets all the excuses in the world to be a jerk and for injuries that happened 5 years ago. Fans entitlement far exceeds that of any player smdy yall are wildin
I'm pro tank, but I still love it when the beam is lit.
Coach Christie wasn't gonna bench LaVine in this game …
the starting lineup I want to see once Domas is back is, Westbrook PG, nique/lavine SG, Murray SF, Domas PF, and maxime C.
great.. hes lowering our draft pick
Now get Dennis back for the second unit
No rational King fan should lbe prisoner of the moment about Levine. Hero has yet to adapt Spolstra new style since returned from injury.
heyyyyy Matt. The Kings finally played like they want to win for Doug.
Gtta play like this every game.. they can go on big run if they wanted too.. up to them as a team tho. 💯
Bruh who cares, gtfoh
Oh no! The Kings win. That means the end is near!
Zach, reminded us & other teams how good of a scorer he is, but he'll probably disappear next game! I say trade him, Sabonis, Derozen keep Westbrook and let the Young guys play!!!
Zach LaVine has looked disengaged the last couple of weeks, but the Rockets game that everybody points to he actually was engaged and was active defensively and was the only King who had a positive +/- it’s not his fault Doug Christie never played him after he was subbed out in the early third during a tie ball game; once he left the King‘s got boat raced.
Lastly, Hear were missing Mitchell and Herro but they’re still a very good team without them. Herro has been injured most of the year which means the only player that they’ve had all year that they were missing was Mitchell.
Part of the reason the Kings did better defensively is because Christie didn’t have them running around like chickens with their heads cut off double teaming from the start of the game.
Raynaud is the real deal; has a very good offensive skill set with good footwork. Also has good instincts on defense his biggest issue is he gets pushed around and occasionally he doesn’t have the foot speed on the perimeter.
Clifford has been somewhat disappointing in his limited minutes previously shooting just over 30% from the field, but he did look very good last night. His biggest issue is playing D without fouling; has had a lot of low IQ fouls. He also makes some questionable passes or decisions – even last night towards the end of his time on the court he got three quick fouls and had a couple of turnovers. Still believe he has a bright future.
