[Game] 40/82: Kings vs. lakers 12 JAN 2026, 7pm PT/10pm ET

[KainLear]

I love this kid, favorite rookie since Murray, easy.

I like him more than Murray myself. Effort > all for me.

 

[Caccia]

It's fun seeing old man LeBron struggling against two Kings rookies, one of them undrafted.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Kings bench turning the beat around

 

[Jdbraver137]

Cardwell changes the game when he comes in. I’m wondering why he didn’t come out earlier and why he went undrafted.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Jonesy being shady: "James... LeBron James... Senior..."

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

the other good thing about Cardwell, is that he doesn't get involved in useless talking with the opponent. He just plays hard and brings energy for his team and crowd

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Mark Lindsay won't let Cardwell be great.

 

[KainLear]

Ellis and Cardwell are the two Kings players I truly just enjoy watching.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

James trying to bait Raynaud into a foul. Didn't work

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Great screen from Max

 

[HndsmCelt]

Kings are putting together a very nice high energy bench

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That was former DPOY Marcus Smart.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Great screen from Max

That extra wide base of his is sweet

 

[KainLear]

That extra wide base of his is sweet

I do like that wide base, I cannot lie.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I do like that wide base, I cannot lie.

You're not much into treble?

 

[HndsmCelt]

Max just has incredible court awareness, especially for a Center

 

[Sluggah]

Something something Arabic

 

[Caccia]

No hesitation. Boom.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Max just has incredible court awareness, especially for a Center

High iQ basketball. Never take it for granted

 

[HndsmCelt]

High iQ basketball. Never take it for granted

I think in Max’s case you don’t have to qualify it with basketball

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I think in Max’s case you don’t have to qualify it with basketball

not every higher iQ person, is necessarily a high iQ player

 

[Caccia]

DeMar is so darn clever with the ball in his hands.

 

[KainLear]

You're not much into treble?

I'm all about that base.

 

[Jdbraver137]

Did the lakers have to travel from SF too?

 

[HndsmCelt]

I swear to God, if Luca grew a third arm, the Refs would let him dribble with all three hands

 

[Kingz19]

to think Monk was getting DNP-CD’s

 

[Caccia]

Achiuwa is really putting in the effort out there.

 

[KainLear]

Ok lemme rephrase:

Monk, Ellis, and Cardwell are the three Kings players I truly just enjoy watching.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Achiuwa is really putting in the effort out there.

Always does. A real competitor

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Didn’t they take that foul out the game for 3 weeks 77 literally jumped 3 feet out his way to get contact
