Wave the flag Doug

 

[iowamcnabb]

Clear the bench, this is valuable time for those guys we can’t win this

 

[Double-K]

The winning streak has got to end somewhere... can't be too upset to lose to Dame and Giannis... I suppose.

 

[Tetsujin]

Doc with an absolutely unnecessary coach’s challenge considering the game situation lol

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

He's also way more confident with it. I doubt Carter would jab step and pull in front of Dame... haha

Just doesn't have the shot type to do it at this point. Otherwise he would be plenty confident

 

[SacTownKid]

Yeah, Isaac Jones time, this is over.

 

[Double-K]

Doc with an absolutely unnecessary coach’s challenge considering the game situation lol

Doc still gotta take an L in a winning game.

 

[bball_nomad]

Back to reality. 20-20. Game was never even tied. 15-17 were the most decent numbers on the board in the first q. Pretty quick it got to 26-54.
No brains, no hustle, no balls no heart.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah, Isaac Jones time, this is over.

If Doug somehow got the Kings to mount a comeback within the remaining three minutes, I would not only believe in him as the Kings coach but I’d believe in him as the new messiah lol

 

[Sherds]

Felt like Dame had more then 24

Absolutely no need for any of that.

The question is what is reality. End of a road trip against a ring winner is not the only measuring stick.

He wouldn't be Doc if he didn't figure out some kind of way to lose.

Fox or Domas turns an ankle and he's the devil lol.

 

[captain bill]

Better to get a regular season loss than go into the playoffs on a 50 game win streak, as I’ve always said

but more seriously happy to see some fight out of the team and make a serious threat of a comeback.

I wouldn't be too hard on them. They just had an off night. It happens to all teams. It hasn't happened to the Kings in 8 games, so be happy.

 

[Tetsujin]

Felt like something like this was going to happen when the Bucks got absolutely destroyed by the Knicks two nights ago

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Does that heavy set gal travel court side to nearly every Kings game?

 

[Tetsujin]

He wouldn't be Doc if he didn't figure out some kind of way to lose.

Mark Jones was talking about how the Bucks are built for the postseason but my only thought was “Has anyone told Doc this?”

 

[The_Jamal]

Well, ATL helped us out and beat PHX. DAL currently getting trucked by DEN by 20. So not a whole lot of ground lost

Refs honoring the 1 year anniversary of the laptop presser
Whoever is responsible for scouting, did a god awful job with the Bucks.
This Q1 could have been the worst quarter that any team has played this season especially in the defense and coincidence or not it all started when Huerter entered for Keon.
It's "nicer" that we lost the game like this compared with how it ended last year, and it is interesting to see how this defeat affect the team moving forward, it would come at some point let's see how we respond after that
The "big mama" is sitting next to Reece, traveled to Milwaukee, no fancy dress but a Kings shirt today for her.

 

[Tetsujin]

Oof. And now Devin is hurt

 

[Double-K]

Oof. And now Devin is hurt

Yikes... Is that the same shoulder?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Uh oh

 

[Tetsujin]

lol this Robbins kid someone’s son or something? No clue what he’s doing on an NBA floor.

 

[Double-K]

Seems ok. Had an exchange with Doug, elected to stay for the last minute. Hopefully nothing big.

 

[Angelo127]

Didn't really see anything with Devin, what happened?

 

[Double-K]

lol this Robbins kid someone’s son or something? No clue what he’s doing on an NBA floor.

No Thanasis in the final minute, on the other hand.

 

[megapoxy]

Sabonis was also holding his shoulder when he missed both free throws before getting subbed out and not going for another assist to have a triple double.

Really if you’re going to take an L, taking one at the end of a long winning streak to a team featuring a presumptive MVP favorite in the other conference is sorta the one to take.
