Uh oh, Zach might try and play his way to the Bucks here haha.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Amazing what a little defensive intensity can do

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, on one hand, the Kings stink. On the other hand, the Bucks have been decidedly underwhelming this season, and they're coached by Doc Rivers.

 

[NewArena]

I personally don’t enjoy my favorite team getting smoked each night by 40 so I’m happy the fans can cheer for them right now.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

 

[HndsmCelt]

Refs are gonna be sampling the Gatorade

 

[NewArena]

Does Carter look out of shape? They mentioned this in the summer, like this is freaking Oliver Miller over here, lol. If Ham said it I wouldn't be surprised if that was the last thing he heard and it was July that he did.

I don’t think it’s necessarily about how he looks and whether or not he has man boobs. If you’re sitting around eating pizza (for example) and multiple people are saying your effort leaves a lot to be desired behind the scenes, I’m not mad at him having to earn time. No i don’t think guys like that should be rewarded if any of that stuff is true and it sounds like there’s even more that James just didn’t wanna say out of respect for Devin.

I don’t care how young a player is if any of that stuff is true.

 

[KainLear]

I will accept this win if it means Lavine absolutely goes ballistic and plays himself to Milwaukee.

 

[NewArena]

I can’t believe Eubanks was bold enough to make that move and actually shoot it lmao i hate watching him play, but, that was nice, i must admit.

 

[Krunker]

Gotta say this lineup has been hustling the last 6 minutes

 

[NewArena]

Porter seems like such an obnoxious piece of you know what

 

[Sluggah]

Cat has been sitting here for like 40 minutes. I assume we’re winning now?

 

[KainLear]

Porter seems like such an obnoxious piece of you know what

That was the reason the Rockets didn't care to keep him I think, right?

 

[NewArena]

Dennis always wants to be the hero. I just hope we don’t take Clifford out and put DeRozan in smh

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Effort should be the bare minimum. Realistic fans shouldn't care as much about wins and losses as they should about effort.

 

[NewArena]

Put in Max. I know Eubanks has been ok but let Max learn from this lol Giannis is gonna cook these guys no matter what

 

[NewArena]

There he is!!! MAX, BABY!

 

[SacTownKid]

BTW, no Christie isn't trying to lose games. The reason he doesn't go into garbage time until it's cartoonishly out of hand is because he's trying to win every possession.

 

[Krunker]

Nique almost made the top ten dunk list

What evidence have we seen of any of that though? He's probably out of shape now considering he hasn't played but he looked fine down in the G league. Diet wise, well, plenty of players ate like crap and still were just fine. These sound like excuses at this point.

I mean, outside of the weapons charge, the domestic violence charge, and the fact that he has been suspended by both his college squad and two different NBA teams for locker room issues, he's a model citizen!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Clifford's shooting has not been nearly good enough this season

 

[NewArena]

LaVine’s shooting form completely changes in clutch moments. I saw someone say that before and it’s so true

 

[NewArena]

Noooo freaking way. Does Doug still have a challenge to use? Giannis flopped

The guy set records at the combine, and some are trying to use his physicality as some excuse not to play him. It's laughable

 

[MizzouKing]

Schroeder plays hard, defends with quickness and intensity, and plays unselfishly. I think he's a very good fit on a young team that I hope we become.

Been so much better off the bench.

Well i said “behind the scenes” so of course we won’t have any evidence of this. Again, why does anyone need to lie on Devin Carter of all people? I’m not saying the Kings are some model organization but i just don’t see the whole conspiracy of “oh this is Mike Brown’s guy and everyone else secretly wants him to fail” making more sense than Carter likely just not being very good on top of all the smoke we’re hearing from practice sessions and all the other happenings.

It probably doesn't help if your take is built on the foundation of James Ham having any idea what he's talking about?

What does the combine have to do with what he’s done with himself the last two years? Donte Greene was a superstar in summer league maybe we should bring him back for a look as well.
