[Game] 50/82: Kings vs. Magic 05 FEB 2025, 7pm PT/10pm ET

[Tetsujin]

IJ needs a full roster spot

 

[Makaveli]

Hard to explain an airball 3. But kayte is trying. But damn

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Not worried about the offense but the defense is straight pumice right now

 

[Tetsujin]

We’re getting bonkers coming off of his birthday Malik Monk today lol

really not sure where he was throwing that pass

 

[coolhandluke]

LaVine's finish over Isaac was sweet. That was all well as anyone can defend.

 

[gunks]

Keon wide open behind the 3 point line is starting to feel like Peja to me.

Second he launched that, I was like "that's going in"

 

[Caccia]

IJ needs a full roster spot

No argument from me.

 

[Makaveli]

You know I would like to see Keon get 12-15 attempts maybe 6-8 3pt attempts.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Doug played Lavine 12 of out 12 minutes

 

[Sac.Kings]

Defense has been nonexistent, but you don’t have to squint too much to see the potential on offense. Lavine will fit in just fine once he gets used to the offense and pace.

Orlando is huge. Not sure if we can keep them out of the paint.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Lavine is absolutely explosive with the ball.

 

[Tetsujin]

The best defensive hands I’ve ever seen.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

The crowd challenge!

 

[iowamcnabb]

Win but jump ball?

 

[coolhandluke]

Keon with those disruptive hands. What crazy timing!

 

[Spike]

This team is playing with fire in their eyes. Can't wait to see JV here in the 2nd unit.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Just calling fouls to cal fouls

 

[KF8]

Feels like Orlando can get to the rim any time they want to. All but 7 shots are within the Key.

 

[coolhandluke]

Just calling fouls to cal fouls

tbf that was a close call in real time.

 

[Spike]

Aren't we at the point where Keon should just get the benefit of the doubt?

 

[Tetsujin]

Doug wins another challenge!

 

[coolhandluke]

Keon be like "What did I just say?"

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Setting aside basketball fit... the vibes around Lavine joining the team are very very very good. From the crowd, to him, to our guys, the coach. There's real excitement and appreciation already on all sides.

Stands in stark contrast to the last few months of Snakes tenure. I'm liking this trade more by the minute.

 

[Makaveli]

We need some size inside

 

[Spike]

We need some size inside

It's on the way.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

tbf that was a close call in real time.

Would agree if the ref that called it had a good angle that ref for sure couldn’t see anything and just blew the whistle

 

[Sac.Kings]

I like this Anthony Black kid. Seems fearless

 

[TheMobb]

Compared to earlier in the year, Keon just seems more comfortable handling and initiating the offense.

 

[TaxMan]

I don’t understand how Orlando has lost so many games recently

 

[TheMobb]

Carter-Isaac-Banchero is a huge frontcourt
