[Game] 13/82: Kings @ Timberwolves [NBA Cup Game] 14 NOV 2025, 5pm PT/8pm ET

[Capt. Factorial]

I can't see any reason for Russ not to be the starting PG going forward.

 

[KainLear]

I can't imagine LaVine playing hard enough on defense to get six fouls.

I was going to say the smoothness of his game might make it seem like he isn’t playing hard enough…

But I’ve watched him too.

I like how Russ force feeds Domas. Good things happen. Before Domas became an offensive assistant for Fox, he was a beast in the paint. Second year in Gonzaga, first years in Indiana.
Man, Kings try to play fast, but DDR just can't keep up.

I'm not able to watch this one, just following along on the box score... Does Sabonis look as assertive as his stat line suggests? It would be a positive development if he's realized that he should be the leader of this team.

Zach has fouled out of games in four different seasons - including once this year!

According to basketball-reference, he's apparently fouled out four times in his career, including once this season.

EDIT - Ninja'd, I was!

Assertive would be a good word to describe him tonight, yes.

Yes. But the difference between how he is playing this game (and season) and previous seasons where he has looked assertive on the court is that he is no longer running the offense.

 

[Tetsujin]

Not sure why Precious was unsigned three weeks into the season but glad he was available for us

 

[HndsmCelt]

For the record gravity is not being kind to the T-pups

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

McDaniels always looks completely pissed off when he's playing

 

[Tetsujin]

McDaniel going through some things tonight lol

 

[Kingz19]

McDaniels lost his footing outta shock because he still saw a Kings uniform in front of him after his initial move.

Good defense Precious

 

[KainLear]

That looked a lot more serious than the way he’s walking would suggest.

 

[Caccia]

Yes. I think the coaches made some adjustments so that he is actually open when they pass him the ball, instead of being mob tackled under the basket.

Definitely through DeRozen's elbow alright, lol

The best comment of the night!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I like how they point out Napheesa Collier at courtside, while ignoring UMN grad and former Big10 POY (and current WNBA player) Rachel Banham sitting right next to her.

 

[Caccia]

Monk hesitated just a moment before missing that wide-open three. Sigh.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

The only thing I can point to, is that he doesn't stretch the floor as a 4 sized body. Not a real shooting threat. He's solid most everywhere else, but needs more arc from the free throw line

 

[Kingz19]

That was off Gobert but they could’ve probably called a foul on Domas

That's a foul-out rate of .006 (4 times in 664 games)! It's too bad we can't have LaVine and Sabonis share a pool of 12 fouls between them.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Omg challenge the play!

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Kings need to learn how to stop the bleeding man. Go get a dam foul stop shooting 3s when there is a run

I can't like this enough. The 3pt hunting while in the midst of a massive unanswered run drives me crazy.

Another thing about Lavine, is that he never adjusts to the game

 

[Sluggah]

Starting to suspect this Anthony Edwards character might be better than our guys.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Keon getting jobbed again

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, Kayte, statistically speaking, there's a pretty good chance it was still Flip.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Litteraly cant touch these guys
