Is this what it’s like to be on the other side of the three point barrage? It’s quite enjoyable!

Look, to be fair (and I hope I don't get accused of coddling) Keegan has only shrunk as a scorer. In every other way he's continued to improve and he has continued to step up big-time both as an individual/team defender and as a rebounder. He's also improved as a playmaker while maintaining a turnover rate which is among the best in the league for high minute players. Obviously we'd love for him to return to college form as a high volume scorer in addition to all of that but we're less than 1/4 of the way through his 3rd season and until very recently he's been the 4th (and sometimes 5th, when Monk is rolling) option on the floor... so a bit of leeway in adjusting to his changing role seems warranted.

His aggressiveness as a scorer does go up when he sees the ball go in the net so maybe the solution here is to run more plays for him early in the game?

I guess it would be one thing if our 4th or 5th option couldn't defend but we're making Keegs take all the toughest assignments and he's holding up admirably.

Just needs some shots to fall.

Okay I know this is late as I’m behind. But Fox getting in the paint and kicking out to Ellis!

What I have wanted to see. Fox passed it and Keon shot it! Damn glad to see it!

The CWebb tip in game winner against the Lakers from 00. Not sure why league pass is doing this instead of showing the in-arena feed like it usually does but I’ll take it.

3 pointers are fun……when it’s the Kings Making them

 

[TaxMan]

Ellis had one of these games last year also when I think he hit his first 5 threes. So far this is more impressive

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Whats up with all these comic book references recently?

I can't answer for anyone else but I, uhm, like comic books?

After every 3 pointer Monk on the bench acts as if he has just posterized Wemby on a dunk attempt himself.

I think he's actually progressed as a "scorer" this season too. His on-ball game is leaps and bounds ahead of where he was as a rookie. He would have never made that drive to the basket on Roddy as a rookie.

It's just the shooting. His game is going to be based around it. Once those starts to fall again, with these improvements, that's how you turn him into a 20 PPG guy. Just a matter of putting everything together.

Also can't be easy to manage the toughest defensive assignment and 38+ MPG every night either. Probably a lot different on the legs.

 

[iowamcnabb]

keep moving and cutting and playing aggressive through the quarter

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

now Jones is playing the 5

 

[coolhandluke]

Damn, the Hawks are so incompetent

 

[Tetsujin]

Isaac doing work. His third game in three days lmao

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Isaac Jones still has a lot to learn at this level, but drawing that foul on the rebound was nice

 

[iowamcnabb]

Gritty

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Jones competes hard for every rebound. Luv that

 

[megapoxy]

League pass randomly showing the Tyreke miracle and following it up with the Webber game winner against Denver.

League pass the last few days when "into the game" in top left corner showing Kings @ Hawks, the wrong host in every single game.

Btw the Tyreke buzzer was 19th of November which is "today" for Europe/Asia timezone

Isaac doing work. His third game in three days lmao

Love seeing a dude who realizes he's to make the most of his NBA minutes when he gets the opportunity.

 

[Tetsujin]

Robinson has good feel for spacing on offense. Just needs to hit his free throws

 

[Double-K]

I can't answer for anyone else but I, uhm, like comic books?

Nothing wrong with that... I just caught your Vanisher reference last game and Daxamite tonight... haha

 

[The_Jamal]

GREAT pass Keegan.

Orob gotta finish that, at least drew the foul.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Nice play making keegs

 

[MizzouKing]

Refs seem to be letting everyone play tonight, and I don’t see anyone complaining!

 

[coolhandluke]

What the hell is Keegan doing?

 

[The_Jamal]

Keegan TO, but I honestly can live with that. He's trying to be aggressive, he's not standing in the corner and deferring.

 

[Sluggah]

got real sloppy real fast

 

[iowamcnabb]

And there it goes

 

[The_Jamal]

Not a Kings game if we don't forget how to play basketball for a 3 minute stretch for literally no reason.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings should probably try to get number five the ball

 

[iowamcnabb]

Now how do you respond?
