[Game] 27/82: Kings @ Trail Blazers 18 DEC 2025, 7pm PT/10pm ET

[The_Jamal]

Oh lawd Saric

 

[iowamcnabb]

Boucher?

Yeh that’s it

 

[Tetsujin]

Dylan remains an awesome defender.

 

[The_Jamal]

Atta boy Nique

 

[Jdbraver137]

Wow lineups that actually make sense

 

[Caccia]

Carter, on the other hand, remains with the Stockton Kings.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Why is Keon a deep bench player is the better question. And its old tiresome shilling for the org.

Which, is to be expected from the team announcers. I dont have to like it or enjoy it

"Why is Keon a deep bench player" is the better question. I just don't hold it against Kayte for not asking it... not where this trainwreck of an organization is concerned.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Saric in for like a possession and a half, and Doug is like, "Actually, we're good"

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Malik out of the rotation?

"showcasing" Keon

 

[Tetsujin]

Saric in for like a possession and a half, and Doug is like, "Actually, we're good"

“Maybe the best way to showcase the guy is to keep him deep on the bench”

 

[The_Jamal]

Monk is active tonight right?

 

[KainLear]

Yeah... if you want to be fired.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Saric in for like a possession and a half, and Doug is like, "Actually, we're good"

He played roughly 28 and a half seconds too long.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Monk is active tonight right?

yeah

 

[KainLear]

Saric yet remains...

 

[Capt. Factorial]

He played roughly 28 and a half seconds too long.

He's baaaaaack!

 

[The_Jamal]

yeah

Wow. He might be in active trade talks then

 

[Caccia]

"showcasing" Keon.

Monk and Ellis play well together, so I doubt that is the reason. If I am right about trade talks--and there was a lot of smoke this week--then a DNPCD for Monk would validate those reports.

 

[Tetsujin]

Cardwell also probably a rotation big. I’m afraid Perry may have cooked with this draft class.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Monk and Ellis play well together, so I doubt that is the reason. If I am right about trade talks--and there was a lot of smoke this week--then a DNPCD for Monk would validate those reports.

They do play well together, but this organization doesn't play them together

 

[The_Jamal]

G League has helped Cardwell a lot. Just in better positions on the floor, looks way more comfortable

 

[KainLear]

Time Lord still clumsy.

 

[The_Jamal]

This version of Saric might be the worst NBA defender I've ever seen

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Saric needs to go over to the Egyptian league

 

[KainLear]

Saric needs to go over to the Egyptian league

Why Egypt?

 

[The_Jamal]

Really nice 2 man set with Nique and Raynaud there in the PnR. Easy floater for Nique

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Why Egypt?

I don't want him in China

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Umm, does the "game has begun" rule apply to anyone from Eastern Europe?

 

[Jdbraver137]

Thank you Klingan for subbing Saric out

 

[KainLear]

Maybe just as a precaution, keep Saric out for the rest of the game?
