[Game] 37/82: Kings vs. Mavericks 06 JAN 2026, 8pm PT/11pm ET

I know they lucked out and got Flagg, but my goodness i can’t believe the way they tanked this team right after getting to the finals. The anguish those fans must still be feeling

You mean like Indiana this year?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Cooper averaged 23 pts, 6 rebs, and 5 asts per game in December so probably not. He's not acquitted himself well so far in this game though.

Flagg started very slow in his first game at G1C as well. If I recall correctly, he got a pair of FTs right before the end of the 2nd quarter to avoid going scoreless in the first half. Killed in the second half.

 

[KainLear]

Wow... strange McBuckets sighting...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

You mean like Indiana this year?

Well, Indiana didn't trade their franchise player for a washed All=Star, so probably not?

 

[hrdboild]

That was a great pass out of the double team by DeMar. Didn't get the assist but he got the ball there right on the money to Doug.

Details, details...

Just like that. Even without Hali, a 6-30 record is crazy. I can’t imagine his impact taking them from the bottom up to the finals again. At least not after quite a few roster adjustments and Tyrese adjusting to gameplay after such an injury.

 

[NewArena]

That was a lot of ball and body movment from the Kings. I can get used to seeing that. Almost felt like a dream sequence

 

[Jdbraver137]

McDermott instead of Zach and monk?

 

[NewArena]

This your first time watching a Peacock game? This is standard; it's basically a screen saver.

Ah, got it! Yea, i hadn’t watched much on this particular app yet.

 

[HndsmCelt]

McDermott instead of Zach and monk?

It is perplexing

 

[NewArena]

McDermott instead of Zach and monk?

James Ham said he’s been hearing rumblings about a Monk trade and possible suitors. I really hope he isn’t the first two go before LaVine and DDR. Ugh

Monk has been benched on a DNP-CD for like five games and James Ham has just now figured out he's on the block?

 

[Sluggah]

This lineup…I dunno.

Reminds me of when I used to listen to the LeBatard show... Chris Cote had the "Slow Report" gimmick: The Slow Report, we always get it right!

... Except Ham doesn't always get it right.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

This is the second out of bounds call blatantly off the Mavs that the officials blew

 

[Jdbraver137]

Doug finally figured out dougie isnt good anymore.

 

[Sluggah]

This is the second out of bounds call blatantly off the Mavs that the officials blew

I think both, if challenged, might’ve resulted in a foul being called on us though

 

[hrdboild]

This lineup…I dunno.

Yeah... My interest perked up with Cardwell, Ellis, and Clifford all on the floor together for a stretch but that last period of the Sharks game is looking mighty tempting right now.

 

[KainLear]

I was fully expecting to hear, "After review, the ball hit Flagg before flying out of bound, HOWEVER, Cardwell fouled and pushed Flagg. Challenge successful. 2 free throws to Dallas."

 

[HndsmCelt]

Cardwell is just fun to watch

 

[Sluggah]

Oh, nice. I thought their precious Flagg would be protected more

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Looks like Old Man Davis's chase-down block days are over

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I can haz Cardwell and Raynaud on the floor at the same time, please and thank you?

 

[hrdboild]

Westbrook still has the hops!

 

[HndsmCelt]

I can haz Cardwell and Raynaud on the floor at the same time, please and thank you?

Presumably, if they’re when the kings are back to full strength, that would be part of the second unit

 

[HndsmCelt]

Big Max putting on a show

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

The biggest difference between the Kings and the Mavericks is that they already have The Guy™ that they want to build around, once they shed the dead weight, whereas the Kings have everything except for The Guy™

 

[PurpleHaze]

Max explodes. Last Kings 6 pts. Two hoops, two FT's
