it's about time. they desperately needed a win, feels like forever since they got their last one.

yeah.. the one with GSW still hurts

ok back to .500

Hahahaha Bogi "I hope you enjoyed it"

Bogie is a stud. He needs to be the starting 2.

 

[Larry89]

Bagley injured?

Yes he hurt his back

 

[rainmaker]

Bogie is a stud. He needs to be the starting 2.

He's our best player next to Fox.

The idea we need to fit him around others is the stuff stupidity is fermented from.

 

[The_Jamal]

I love (our) Bogie.

I wouldn't mind the other one though. If things stay put with the Porter situation, that's a realistic FA target that would help the SF spot this summer.

 

[Sac.1989]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS !

 

[Kingz19]

Kings are 5-0 at G1C when they wear actual home white uniforms

1-5 at G1C when wearing road uniforms at home

I know I’m old fashioned and somewhat of a traditionalist but it’s quite clear the numbers are as well. Maybe the Kings would feel more at home in their pajamas rather than suiting up for the road

 

[Kings_of_California]

Good god thank you Willie. That putback saved us.

Also thanks for deciding to rebound tonight.

 

[kingsboi]

25 lead changes between these two teams....wow, that's an Ox battle right there

 

[TaxMan]

Fox 4-16 shooting....I take it all that running early in the games has worn him down a bit. He isn't shooting as good as he was.

Feels like his “off nights” are starting to become routine. He’s a streaky player so hopefully he gets his confidence back against some weaker teams coming up.

 

[steelevt]

Everyone remember those 2 technicals from earlier? Sure came back to haunt us. We could have won by 3!!!!

 

[The Hammer]

Jerry just said Willie was the best player on the floor tonight. Interesting take.

At the same time, even on an "off night", he almost single handedly kept the team in the game in crunch time with his defense.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Thank god. That was a must win

 

[Heuge]

Huge win. A loss there would have put them at 14th in conference. Now they sit tied for 8th. The west is crazy!

The West, where anyone except the Suns can/should be a playoff team.

 

[PurpleHaze]

I prefer Bogie in at the end of games. His savvy veteran presence worth its weight in gold more than if he simply starts. Bogie is Bogie, maybe the Kings most complete player ~ Jerry Reynolds

 

[Kingz19]

Bogie is a stud. He needs to be the starting 2.

It’s irrelevant. He’s obviously not sulking coming off the bench. He’s playing starter minutes regardless and he’s shooting as much as anybody. His role isn’t any bigger than if he was starting but perhaps his value is better off the bench.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Jerry just said Willie was the best player on the floor tonight. Interesting take.

If he mistook Willie for Bogey then sure. Willie did actually come up big in crunch time. We need that guy to get back to form

 

[Kangztillidie]

I appreciate the fact both Bogie and Fox can get good looks for both themself and other players.

And if Bojan's shot doesn't rattle out, those two technicals cost us that game. Not sure this is exactly the right opportunity to rag on that particular idiosyncrasy of Grant's.

Oh it is VERY relevant. Buddy needs to come off the bench. He has too much pressure right now on him to perform.

 

[The Hammer]

Don't get me wrong Willie was huge in the crunch. Bogi was out MVP, I agree with that if that's what he intended.

I do hate how Grant focuses in on some of the more stupid irrelevant nuances of the game (leave Rubio open. Make him beat you. *Well he did dummy).

The Spurs never started Manu despite him probably being their second best player for the better part of two decades.

Fully agree... as funny as it is... I'm COMPLETELY THE SAME WAY. The nonchalance with which techs are accumulated has irked me my whole life.

Grant is 100% right in this case and I'm glad he makes a stink about it. Still funny every time he does though. lol.

 

[The_Jamal]

The West, where anyone except the Suns can/should be a playoff team.

Actually insane. 22 games in and 5.5 games separates the 14 seed and the 1 seed in the conference. Meanwhile in the East, 15 games separate the 14 seed and the 1 seed.

Exactly. And Ginobili was ALWAYS on floor at end of the game. For patented game winning shot/assist to win it for Pop and Spurs.

Apparently all we had to do to be in playoff contention this year was be in the western conference and not be the Suns.
