[Game] 11/82: Kings vs. Nuggets 11 NOV 2025, 8pm PT/11pm ET

[SLAB]

I won’t lie… I fully expected to check the score and see us down 20.

 

[Tetsujin]

Nique some smothering defense on Murray right now

 

[HndsmCelt]

For the record, I’m officially on board with less Dennis and more Westbrook

 

[Sherds]

Watching the replay of that Val basket.. Wow, what a horrendous call. Unbelievable

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Or said another way. Our primary starters are vastly overpaid.

Watching this game because it would be classic Kings to say we are starting a rebuild and then winning this game to put them squarely in the Vivek Invitational. Kings are the only team in the NBA can’t even get the start of a rebuild right.

The team didn't say they are starting a rebuild. Carmichael Dave said it, and from what I listened to (about half an hour or so) at no time did he say he was repeating something he heard from the team. He's been around today so perhaps he could clarify, but it sounded to me that this was personal opinion and not reporting.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Bro Dennis is killing us

 

[Tetsujin]

Jonas is actually a traffic cone on defense at this point. Love the guy but anytime he’s not in a pure drop is going to lead to points for the other team lol

Just for the record, no one on the team ever said anything about starting a rebuild.

My immediate take to that signing was “Dude’s going to go George Hill.”

People didn’t agree! Lol

 

[HndsmCelt]

Clifford is taking that next step from gritty to fearless

Note to QWERTY: Do a little bit more scrolling before posting your message...You know, just in case.

Dudes giving us absolutely nothing.

Doug this is on you letting Dennis destroy the team

 

[Jdbraver137]

I hate Schroeder’s game. So much!

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Schroeder is a scrub

 

[coolhandluke]

Love Sabonis taking on JV on both ends of the floor.

Usually when Sabonis gets amped up, he tends to make mistakes but today he is killing it. That's a man on a mission. Aggressive Sabonis is a sight for sore eyes.

You think he was gonna be allowed to bench Perry’s prize pick

Just for the record, no one on the team ever said anything about starting a rebuild.

So you think Dave went on their flagship station with that piece un-prompted?

I will stop as it’s the Game thread but I do find it hilarious.

 

[Tetsujin]

You think he was gonna be allowed to bench Perry’s prize pick

To be fair, tonight DC is out so there’s no other point guard to replace him with when Russ is already on the floor

 

[MizzouKing]

But, but, but...Does Vivek see the same???

I only said the vets aren't...

 

[PurpleHaze]

I'd much rather have Monk start. He's far better scorer that either Dennis or Russ plus dishes assists at a good clip.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Watching Dennis play makes the John Morant trade seem more and more acceptable

 

[Tetsujin]

**** it. Trade all the vets but Russ

 

[Sluggah]

The Kings own a radio station?

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

We don't want John, though. He's the evil Morant brother no one needs.

 

[Tetsujin]

The ageless wonder

Voice to text is never my friend lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Cam Johnson left Brooklyn and immediately turned into Johntay Porter

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Voice to text is never my friend lol

It makes for some good laughs, though!

Great to get to hear professional no B.S. Kings called the right way. Lead on the call excellent, Jamal Crawford far outclasses Katye to say the least.

Gosh I was thinking the exact same thing. Normally I hate national telecasts, but this is really great. They actually tell me what’s happening on the court. Minimal stories that ramble on over multiple possessions. Crawford really seems to understand when to interject himself. Keeps things precise.
