[Game] Orlando Magic @ Sacramento Kings, 1/3/24,7p PST/10p EST

[Kingster]

Keegan just punked Paolo...and isn't taking him as the primary assignment why??

It's possible Brown is anticipating there will be a switch and Keegan will then be matched on Bancero.

 

[Kingz19]

Draper said 20 turnovers but box score only says 16. Seems they have turned it over more

 

[hrdboild]

I don't understand that substitution. Sabonis just locked up Banchero on the previous play and forced a tough shot to beat the buzzer and then we put HB on him and let Paolo shoot over the top. Too easy.

 

[The_Jamal]

Paolo going full unguardable.

Helps when he's had a traffic cone on him

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Barnes has been really solid tonight. Lyles coming in at all at that possession is probably the issue

he won't get any credit for any good things he does anymore. not saying we don't need an upgrade because we do.

That was a good challenge. Not much you can do.

 

[Tetsujin]

Malik just putting together some absolutely ridiculous 2K highlight stick finishes tonight

 

[BosnianDiehard2.0]

Monk! Now get a stop!!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Undersized SG who needs the ball in his hands, but doesn't play defense is typically relegated to the bench.

but he's good enough to always close games?

 

[fansinceday1]

Take it to the hole! Don’t settle for the 3

 

[Pacboy]

Dude, HB has absolutely no lift attacking the rim anymore. Jesus

Not only does he not have the lift, he has no lateral movement on defense

Playing defense with energy is not allowed.

 

[The_Jamal]

Yes there is. It's called put your best defender on their best offensive player going off lol.

 

[nikefutbolero]

He’s crap 98% of the time.

 

[King-Da-Yah]

Barnes has been really solid tonight. Lyles coming in at all at that possession is probably the issue

Barnes is the new IT….its allllllll his fault now!

 

[Tizzy Flip]

I wonder if we give Fox or Monk the ball at the end. Gonna be intwresting

 

[The_Jamal]

I don't even really blame HB for getting torched. It's on Brown for some reason not seeing that mismatch and just letting Paolo torch us over and over

 

[pdxKingsFan]

If Fox was even average tonight this game is in the bag

 

[whitechocolate]

I still don't understand why some don't think Monk is a starting caliber guard on a good playoff team

I don't think that's in doubt at all. I think Monk coming off the bench is more about staggering scoring power. Sixth man is a thing for a reason. That being said I would like to see him in the starting lineup at some point.

 

[fansinceday1]

Monk is a dog!
Dude is this teams heart and soul.

 

[hrdboild]

Paolo going full unguardable.

I don't understand the fascination with this guy. He can't even get a bucket going one-on-one against Fox. Put a body on him and he flails and looks for a call. If he always shot the three ball like this, sure. But he doesn't. This is just one of those nights.

 

[nikefutbolero]

That’s game, goodnight guys. This is all on Monte

 

[pdxKingsFan]

That’s game, goodnight guys. This is all on Monte

This team doesn't exist without Monte.

who brought us Monk and Domas who are awesome tonight.

 

[The_Jamal]

That’s game, goodnight guys. This is all on Monte

You were saying?

 

[Kingz19]

Watch where you’re going kid

 

[Tetsujin]

Queen lying on the ground like he's been shot and then immediately getting up once the Magic called timeout is perfect haha

The guys good. I really didn’t think his game would carry over from college but it has. And he’s gotten better.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

one of the nastiest screens you'll see

 

[BosnianDiehard2.0]

Scary stuff lol

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Sabonis hit him with that Stockton special!
