Yikes, honestly not a good game

Seriously? Come on man, we aren't going to play lights out every ball game and blow out a team every time. We still put up 125 points on the road and we were clutch when we needed to be. Not sure what planet you are from, but that sounds like a good game to me!

Damn i see the first couple pages of this thread didn’t wanna give Fox much grace lol give the guy a break man, i doubt he knew how he’d truly feel with this injury.

All you can do is try and play your normal game and see what happens. Jaren Jackson should’ve been suspended btw, I’m still irritated but it may have helped us quickly discover what we have in our rookie and some others.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

My God I’m so proud of this team. LIGHT it!!!! I was about to start watching my recording but was too nervous to watch without knowing the score lol man, this is usually the let down game after a seemingly improbable win in Boston. I’m honestly stunned.

Christie also excorcising the early game day demons

 

[SacTownKid]

Actually, I don't know your basketball mileage but this is what we fans should appreciate.

A win that comes from a game that looks horrible with our players doing a lot of wrong things.

That's winning habit.

Doug went with at least one defender out there to end it which again, is so welcome from what was this year. Pretty sure Brown would have had Keon sitting late and went with major minutes with Huerter out there in an all offensive lineup. The Kings gave up 24 points in the 4th after giving up 30+ in the first 3 quarters.

 

[Angelo127]

Any win is a great game sir

Nah

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Only Monte and Fox's agents know what the story truly is.

I think he’s a lock for the super now that Luka is out of awards talk. So we can kick this can down until 2026.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'm so glad we won. I didn't want to hear the crowd of people that would have said Fox came back, and we lost.

I'll bet they would have conveniently ignored the fact that Fox played in the first three games of the streak, too.

 

[Angelo127]

They tightened up the defense at the end, just enough to beat a team like the Bulls.

Yea

 

[New Era]

A win's cool but we can't be going all offense

You must be a real hoot at parties

I am

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

Nah

Okay so now I know you are just a troll. Makes sense now.

We can let future come before we worry.

Especially as fans, as long as they are producing a good product out there, which by my count, as long as they fight and play hard every game to give themselves a chance to win that's good enough for me, I'm fine to just enjoying the ride.

"I came all the way over to your house and all you have in the fridge is sh***y beer?"

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'm giddy w/joy.

For your sake, I hope not.

For Joy's sake, I really hope not.

 

[joemama]

For Joy's sake, I really hope not.

I see what you did there.

 

[Angelo127]

Okay so now I know you are just a troll. Makes sense now.

Haha

 

[NewArena]

Man I’m so happy they get a day off before having to take on the Bucks. A back to back would have been a tall order to say the least.

Yeah, road win vs a team that's surging similar to how we are. This is a good win

Gotta look at things in context, too: coming off the big win in Boston, this is a game that the Kings would have lost before Christie took over. That alone makes it a good win.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Light the Beam!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Currently 2 back in the loss column of the 5th seed

 

[bball_nomad]

Ufff, 48 minutes long nail biter. Bulls scored 'just' 24 points in the 4th q and that was it for them.
Anyway, ugly or not, Kings did what they had to do - got a W.
Feels like Kings now are obliged to take care of Bucks too, ain't it

Honestly, I think it really comes to the respect we have as an organization, as a team, for our opponents. This is how you can make a case for why Mike Brown was badly coaching the team before he was fired. This game by no means looked pretty, nor any of our players looked like they had a great stroke with the ball, but when it comes to the latter half of the game, winning is the only option for Coach Christie and he's willing to keep switching things up just to get the best 5 of our roster out there to inch out the somewhat difficult win.

It's a great win to me.

Me as well..

 

[Kingz19]

Brad Miller wore a Kings sweater in the Derrick Rose Bulls team reunion photo lol

 

[NewArena]

For as awesome as he was all night he just fizzled out unexpectedly at the end.

Thank God we never acquired him, honestly. Lavine seems like such a big tease and i suspect he’s playing like this to be traded elsewhere.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Doug Christie never lets the game get out of hand unlike that other guy who used to stand there with his hands his pockets and watch the low pct missed three points. So far he’s been perfect with his timely timeouts before bleeding becomes unstoppable.

And yet he doesn’t call dumb ones. Having a few in pocket at the end while Bulls blew it being out of theirs.

This is a great win!
Now if they can do this against teams they are expected to beat we may have something here!
