[Game] Kings at Lakers, Friday Nov 15, 7:30 PM PT/10:30 PM ET

[NewArena]

Just saw the final play. LOL

He was clearly tripped and fouled. Unbelievable

 

[Agent23]

Oh yeah, they were definitely playing for that. Good play call by Walton anticipating that and giving Barnes the option to look to tie it instead. Tough no call

BS no call. But doesn’t surprise me anymore.

 

[Tizzy Flip]

As much as Buddy was trying to lose the game for us, you had Holmes out there cleaning up his mess. Thank god for Holmes. He’s the antithesis of WCS

 

[NewArena]

Would have loved to see a Bogi shot to see if history repeated.

you would think that’s what they’d draw up

 

[Kingster]

Why would Barnes reach in when the game is tied? I wish we had more smart players

Holy crap

That was a very un-like Barnes play.

 

[Tetsujin]

I have to say something about that. I would normally agree but guess what? Walton just drew up a GENIUS play. GENIUS. It worked to perfection and without a clear trip Barnes gets a dunk to send it to OT.

Yep, used Bogi as the double decoy to draw the entire defense's attention only for the refs to swallow the whistle when the Lakers had to foul to keep Barnes from dunking.

 

[NewArena]

If Buddy was even just a smidge smarter, we’d be contending for a playoff spot the second Fox and Bagley return. No doubt in my mind

We still can, but wow

 

[miltonap]

Love this team. I'm feeling great about Luke as a coach. Theres an actual offense and defense. And strategy. This guys no joke, he knows his stuff. He'll learn , as will the players. He'll know to never let buddy dribble. Great effort

 

[Kingz19]

The team played very well on both ends. The Lakers didn’t play poorly and the Kings traded body shots with them and maybe should’ve won. They lost because they made too many mistakes. Mostly Buddy, but not exclusive to him. Harrison had a rough game shooting and decision making as well. Last play might’ve worked if he didn’t slip but I think you go for the win there. I’d feel better with a brick from either Bogi, Buddy or Barnes rather than going at AD. You aren’t going to get the call.

Very encouraged by how well Bogdan is playing. He’s having a great month. The man tonight was Richaun Holmes. Strong game offensively, defensively, and energy despite foul trouble against a front I didn’t really expect him to have any more than an average game against.

Kings aren't competing for anything if Fox and Bagley continue to be injury prone. Time will tell how those scenarios play out.

 

[dude12]

I’m not sure about the Lebron trip but that was a foul on Davis. Wasn’t verticality. That was more of a foul than the call against Barnes against James.

 

[steelevt]

When does the L2M report come out?

 

[L'Optimisme]

Absolutely hammered on that last play. Incredible.

 

[King-Da-Yah]

Holy crap

bron uses his off hand to shield Barnes steal attempt before the reach, I have watched it on slow mo multiple times. I think Cap mentioned this as well.

 

[twslam07]

I thought it was a good no call.

Good play draw up from Walton. Barnes would have either had a chance at the rim or he had Hield open in the weak side corner after Holmes set that screen.

It’s unfortunate that Barnes tripped over himself.

 

[miltonap]

Are coach challenges not available on last plays ?

Holmes defense on LeBron and AD was impressive. He also knows his role on offense, which is 4th or 5th option, and he still scored 17pts. WCS never grasped that in his 4 years with us

the tail end of the yank. i whish i captured the davis' arms almost horizontal before the game was gone...

Wow, he was fouled. I didn’t see that in the replay because I was looking at their feet for a trip.

 

[Oscar]

Barnes as the go-to guy down the stretch. It's gonna be a long season.

 

[gunks]

Wish we would have gone for the 3 instead of the L.....

You gotta know the Lakers were gonna get home cookin from the refs in the final seconds.

Still, that was about as much fun in a loss to the ***** *** Lakers as one could hope for.

We'll get em next time.

we’ll definitely kick their butt the next time

We’re a tough matchup for them. I can’t wait to get all of our guys back now that we have an actual system on both ends.

I’m starting to feel as confident as i did last season before each game and that’s a great sign. Just need Buddy to FOCUS, good lord.

 

[burekijogurt]

Wow, he was fouled. I didn’t see that in the replay because I was looking at their feet for a trip.

yeah he got yanked backwards which made him off balance. but even so, he got fouled by Davis at the basket. those hands were not vertical.

 

[Kingster]

Counting the days until Bagley comes back.............

 

[L'Optimisme]

Sit down.

We played a great game against the best team in the West on the road. Barnes in particular was playing great offense. Absolutely terrible comment.

Bad ending for Barnes. He gets fouled by lebron while on defense and gets it called on him. Then on offense he gets fouled again by lebron and possibly fouled by AD and no call...

 

[SacTownKid]

Wow, he was fouled. I didn’t see that in the replay because I was looking at their feet for a trip.

It wasn't the feet, Lebron rammed into the side of Barnes' thigh area first. That's what sent him sputtering.

 

[burekijogurt]

i was ready for a loss tonight but now i'm so upset. if the tables were turned one of those 2 would be a foul.
should have just went for a long three by anyone. it would have been contested but we were not going to win in overtime.
