McSophomores.......

Say what you want about Ben, he stayed aggressive until he finally hit a couple shots and a dunk, brought life back into the team. Ray Mac came in a sealed it.

I support the moves PDA makes so far...until I saw the lid off to the side..come on

 

[Glenn]

Well, look at it like this: we gotta start somewhere...

It was very uncharacteristic, you gotta admit.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

No man...I'm high on that summer league action!

Soon to come: the "I love this team!!" thread, and the "Any Questions" thread.

Brick is optimistic... I'm scared.

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

KINGS WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[VF21]

I demand that you drink it next time we are going for another championship. Every game. Every minute. All series long.

Darn.

Well, if you insist!

WE WIN!

WE FREAKING WIN!!!!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Pretty good to lose that first game and not look good at all,...then roll off 6 wins in a row

 

[Bricklayer]

Brick is optimistic... I'm scared.

well, or another word that has "istic" in it.

 

[NowImLost]

I've paid my dues.
Time after time.

THE @SacramentoKings ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF THE ENTIRE SUMMER!! Sleep Train Arena is going crazy! #VegasCHAMPS

Sleep Train is going crazy? Are they holding a viewing party?

 

[Uncia03]

Question?
How long has it been since a Sacramento King's fan has been excited about actual basketball in the middle of July?

It is sort of silly, but I don't care.
It's great to have something to be happy about.

And the fact that the FO believes that it is important for this team and the culture to win...and then to go out and accomplish it...couldn't ask for much more when it comes to Summer League.

Sleep Train is going crazy? Are they holding a viewing party?

Yes. Free.

 

[Nikolizzle]

Wow, we won!

 

[Monster]

Stouskas better than Jimmer but no 8 in draft?? Nope.

Who is Stouskas? Is he like Coby Brian?

[dude12]

Nice job by the players to play together, nice job by the coaching staff and nice job by the FO in getting Moreland and Brooks and Cunningham and James added to our mainstays

There's a couple janitors working...and they're going "crazy"

 

[Capt. Factorial]

well, or another word that has "istic" in it.

Well, "sarcastic" doesn't have those letters, so I'll go with "jerkistic"!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

well, or another word that has "istic" in it.

Ah, so. I should have known better.

 

[hrdboild]

I think this was a huge moment for all of our young guys. Ray, Ben, Nik, and Quincy were a huge part of this and now they get to go into next season feeling good about themselves. We've probably found a rotation player in Eric Moreland and maybe Marshon Brooks too, if we can afford both of them. Plus we get to return next year as the defending champs. I may be biased but I don't think any team in the NBA was more in need of something to feel good about than our group.

 

[Bricklayer]

BTW, nobody except Moreland on our roster really jumped out in this SL. I like Nik's sophistication, but he was often invisible (and occasionally frozen out).

but the one x-factor for our, ahem, "championship" that might be going overlooked is this name: Ty Corbin. We signed him just before SL, he takes over the team, and you get a team without the best individual performers in SL (although obviously with a lot of lower level NBA guys) and he, who was head coaching in the NBA just a few months ago, gets them organized and playing like a real basketball team, not just a scrimmage squad, in the matter of only a week or so. He might be the hidden MVP here. Guy who's been there at the NBA level.

 

[Heuge]

Rick Fox sucks!!! Punch him in the jaw, Vivek.

 

[Nikolizzle]

That last post may be interpreted as me being down on the win - I'm not, huge effort by the guys. Ray Mac with a brilliant game!

well, or another word that has "istic" in it.

intellectualistic?

 

[stausky]

Ray Mac may be a difference maker.

 

[VF21]

well, or another word that has "istic" in it.

Wouldn't that actually be "astic"?

Yes. That's where the picture of Sign Lady came from. They used the new JUMBO screen. They tweeted out open invitations earlier today.

What stood out is we played defense and team ball.
