Play LaRavia 40 minutes

Keegan bottoming out offensively caps this team at bad. So much hope was in him living up to and beyond that rookie year.

He seemed more engaged after the Fox trade and before Lavine got here, he's basically the 5th option out there

LaRavia coming in and making an immediate impact. The Kings starters are more afraid of screwing up then just playing right now. Finally Christie made the call to mass sub. This worked wonders for Adelman back in the day as a in case of emergency plan. Sometimes just having a change in energy is all you need.

Play LaRavia 40 minutes

Thank you LaRavia, I was on the ledge

 

[Capt. Factorial]

5 points and a block in three possessions.

And a steal

 

[Remi]

what I see, that with DDR and Zach our game becomes total ISO play. And if Sabonis vs Monk dont do something decent, team offense sucks. Kings need to move ball fast.

Good call here. Starters are walking on egg-shells, rather than just playing. And my guess is if they loosen up and just play basketball, they'll run up this score.

Nope, can't re-sign him then, lol.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Jake Laravia IS 6'8". He told us so. Kings roster page needs to show it, not 6'7".

Agree, we finally have the talent to pull it off too

 

[Capt. Factorial]

LOL

Sounds like another player on the bench that comes in and makes an immediate impact..

 

[SLAB]

LaRavia is obviously that dude. Better than the best.

 

[thingfish]

Give me a team that plays with heart and hustle over anything else!
I can’t F’ing stand watching players who make 10’s of millions of dollars a year phone in games.

 

[Tetsujin]

Not better than McBuckets they said.

 

[Remi]

finaly ball is moving!

 

[The_Jamal]

Starters can kick rocks if they don't respond after this effort from the bench

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Malik needs to start playing like our lead PG, which means better decision making

 

[iowamcnabb]

Welp, if Doug wants a job next season, he will. Because the next coach is going to come in next season, maximize Keon with our offensive hubs and we'll be on the right path

if Monte has his job next year I’d imagine tuomas iisalo is Coach

 

[Tetsujin]

Tired: the Mavs trading Luka for a guy who lasted three quarters before hurting himself again was the worst trade of the year

Wired: the Grizzlies trading Jake LaRavia to unload Marcus Smart was the worst trade of the year.

 

[Sluggah]

I take everything back. It’s a game now.

 

[Letsgokings13]

LARAVIA!!!!!

Also, Jake is really young, so I hope that we hold on to him if he continues to play well. We need some young blood.

 

[The_Jamal]

Huh. Keon steps on the floor and the NOP 3pt shooting dies.

Nah, must be nothing

 

[Angelo127]

Yikes for the Pelicans

The starters can't match the energy of the Pels.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Wow thank you bench.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I...what?

 

[Kingz19]

15-2 run thanks to LaRavia

 

[SacTownKid]

Well, the good thing is the Kings might finally have a bench now.
