    [Game] Kings vs Raptors 11/6/24 7pm PST/10pm EST

    I want Kings to win every quarter. I want Kings to score 30+ points in every quarter. True, I am a bad, bad man. Though 1 point W on game winning shot in 3OT will make me a very happy man too ;)

    [Game] Kings @ Jazz 10/29/2024 6:00pm Pacific 9:00pm Eastern

    In Domas I trust. Fox can go bananas. Just stay healthy, OK? :) DDR - solid. Very. Keegan? Silent killer ;) Huerter... just don't hurt my feelings. You are good, so stay that way :) I hoped after Monk resigned he would start - that was not in the cards. Domas&Huerter, Domas&Monk feel each others...

    Domas playing for Team Lithuania 2024

    LTU - ITA 88-64. Confident, well executed W. Today is the day. In Europe, people of Southern countries (Italy, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia...) are more emotional. That applies to Mexico, Puerto Rico. Bball players feed off from their own good play, fans in the stands...

    KING DEMAR

    From the management stand point of view - very good job. Maybe more things will develop in the future. Sure, offensively DDR is not just simple upgrade over Barnes. That's like comparing tropical storm to hurricane category 4 (not 5 though ;) ). I prior expressed my opinion about DDR and his...

    DeMar DeRozan Rumor

    I guess, because DDR played 9 years for Toronto and last 3 years in Chicago most of the West coast bball fans have no clue what kind of player he is. You want him to start and take shots away from others? Nuts.

    DeMar DeRozan Rumor

    DDR played 15 seasons already. Coming Monday he will turn 35. He played 9 seasons with the Raptors. Many times out of ALL 400 NBA players he had the worst FG% - bellow 40%. After DDR got traded from Toronto to Spurs, in 3 seasons with the Spurs team went 48-34, 32-39,33-39. PO was made only in...

    DeMar DeRozan Rumor

    He passes only when he can not take the shot. Keeps the ball too much in his hands. Anyway, maybe he changed when he aged? I haven't watched much of his game lately, true. Though his time with Toronto is etched in my memory. Couldn't make a three pointer. Even with the dunks and lay-ups, his FG%...

    DeMar DeRozan Rumor

    Complete NO to Demar from me. Yes, he can score. Taking scoring chances from his teammates. He never passes or plays any defense. Any SG under the contract with Kings is a better choice. Let him play as SF??? Nuts.

    Kings after Ingram

    BI is a very good player, just personally I'm not very high on him. Lauri - anytime of the day. What the heck, let's get both and keep Domas, Fox, Keegan and Monk. Right? :) Where is my cold beer, btw ;)

    Why Isn't Sasha Playing?

    At least Sasha will return to Europe healthy. Who knows, maybe some NBA team will sign him in the future. There are plenty of head coaches in the NBA who are innovative and have no problem integrating quality talent from the different background. Dirk Nowitzki was mentioned in this thread...

    Domas playing for Team Lithuania 2024

    So far everything is OK. W against Mexico. LTU started falling behind 0-9. First basket by LTU was after Domas offensive rebound and a dunk. So, 0-9 developed into 76-51, 83-61 after 3. Game against CIV was a weird one. First 2 qs LTU was more or less in control. CIV finished 1 q with the buzzer...

    Domas playing for Team Lithuania 2024

    Games could be watched on some "unoficial" streams, through LT sources (though in LT language) or - sign up with FIBA. I'll choose FIBA. To watch other matches, watch replays and etc.

    Domas playing for Team Lithuania 2024

    JV is with the team, training and getting ready. He couldn't play in the qualification tournament in Puerto Rico, which will start tomorrow cause he was not under the contract with any team, but if LT qualifies (we are 50+% favorites to come out from this set), JV will join the team for the main...

    Riccardo Fois joins Kings coaching staff.

    Solid addition. Needless to say that European players and coaches view and approach the game a little bit differently. It takes time for them to adjust to the NBA style, especially relentless grind of the regular season, but still, they add some of their prior experiences to the team. Domas will...

    Kings picking 13th overall (formerly the draft lotto thread)

    Paying one guy 30 mils or having 3 other guys for the same $$$ most of the time works. Though it didn't work with Kings last season and I don't see any bright light in the future either. Barnes was HUGE disappointment, Huerter - completely meh and where was Sasha? With Monk coming back - we need...

    Monk is back!!!!!!!!

    I am just happy. I would be even happier if Monk could start. One of the reasons I'm for Monk starting - he sets Domas the best on the Kings. Since I'm Lithuanian - I followed Valančiūnas a lot. He was made in Toronto into a screener, offensive rebounder. PG Kyle Lowry was short, SG DeRozan -...

    Kings picking 13th overall (formerly the draft lotto thread)

    Ron Holland has potential. Potential to make a difference with the Kings ;)

    Why Isn't Sasha Playing?

    Long posts, lot's of points, lot's of predictions. I watched almost all Pacers games when Domas was with them. Initially Domas was coming off the bench, though pretty soon everybody realized that Domas was actually the best big on the team. Anyway, first season in Indiana Domas from the bench...

    The Sabonis Thread

    WOW, Domas next season will wear number 11. What #11 means for Domas - he named his second child, daughter, Eleven. In one of the recent interviews Domas was asked how he does compare himself to his father, answer was simple: "Not even close". Don't get me wrong. Domas is very good...

    Domas Sabonis named Third All-Team NBA

    I don't think I can remember any Lithuanian NBA player who was hell-bend over the max $$$. Maybe it all started with Arvydas Sabonis? He came to the NBA when he was 31+ years old, to make some extra cash before retiring for good. Since his health was almost nonexistent, any normal contract was...
