[Game] 33/82 Kings vs Mavericks 7pm PT, 10pm ET 12/30/2024

[Tetsujin]

only two games but Doug’s rotations have at least made sense in a way that MB’s didn’t for the last month. Helps that Trey might finally be healthy

 

[Makaveli]

Luckily Fox hasn’t gotten the opportunity to shoot as many 3’s as he wants to in the last 5 min.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Two stops away.

 

[captain bill]

Swipa!

 

[iowamcnabb]

Let’s see Crawford do something

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Noticed they have not been giving sabonis the ball downlow when wide open and instead either fox or debo shooting. Just a observation

 

[The_Jamal]

Well, I hope Kings fans truly appreciate Fox giving this sort of performance and effort. He brought it on both ends tonight

 

[Tetsujin]

Randomly spotting the Mavs an 18 point lead aside, the Kings actually won this.

 

[captain bill]

Idk if this lead is healthy enough to empty the bench…

 

[Sluggah]

Len and finishing. Has not been a great year.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Idk if this lead is healthy enough to empty the bench…

It's not lol

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Exhale.

 

[Tetsujin]

ICraw still looking like an NBA player.

 

[captain bill]

HISTORIC! Doug Christie joins Rick Adelman and Mike Brown as only the third coach in the Sacramento era with a .500 or better record

 

[The_Jamal]

Crawford just clamped the hell out of Omax. Yes, I'm going to point that out

Jordi has too, when MB had covid or something.

I think it's possible Doug Christie gets the "DPOG" to mark his first win.

 

[SacTownKid]

One step below hopeful, but it'll do.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

In terms of that "get right" we needed, that was a "G".

 

[Rob-The-Great]

We won

Monte appearing to be 3/3 on UDFAs and 0/4 (though I personally think Colby is an NBA player for sure) on second round picks just another illustration of the great mystery that is the NBA draft.

 

[HndsmCelt]

One extra hour of beam tonight!

 

[TaxMan]

That’s how you do it! A nice 24 point win (Q2-Q4) against a team we should beat. Here’s to this team turning the calendar to 2025.

I don't think they count that though. Remember Walton got boned that one year when Kerr was out haha.

I think we really fail to understand how massively agents control the second round the way the draft works right now.

 

[Tetsujin]

One step below hopeful, but it'll do.

I thought they played clearly better than the Mavs for most of the night. They just had to play from behind for a huge portion of the game because of the terrible first quarter.

 

[captain bill]

Recency bias but that third quarter looked the best this team has in a very long time. Hope that energy carries over

 

[The_Jamal]

In terms of that "get right" we needed, that was a "G".

Considering we haven't been anywhere close to "get right" in the last 3 weeks, i'll gladly take the "get" in this scenario. Maybe the "right" comes in the next few games?

 

[megapoxy]

Drapes was praising Monk several times but he hasn't been good lately including today, many turnovers again, some of them for no reason, just trying to make "flashy" passes or dribbles. It should be him or DDR NOT starting just not to get punched in the mouth from early on in each game.

 

[Makaveli]

Remember those 2 games in a row we won by 40.
