[Game] 42/82: Kings vs. Wizards 16 JAN 2026, 7pm/10pm ET

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

This is a thoroughly uninteresting lineup.

 

[The_Jamal]

Russ and DDR playing keep away from Domas remains infuriating. Pass the damn ball

 

[SacTownKid]

Where were you when Scott Perry accidentally signed bouncy Ben Wallace?

Quincy Acy reborn. A much nicer disposition though haha.

 

[Sluggah]

Who killed the vibes

 

[KainLear]

LaVine got a beautiful 3-level offense game, but as soon as his shots don't fall, off-ball he is worse than a construction cone.

 

[Spike]

I guess this continues to confirm that a lineup of Westbrook, DDR, Sabonis, LaVine, and pretty much anyone else doesn't work.

 

[Tetsujin]

Russ “Tank Mechanic” Westbrook

 

[KainLear]

I guess this continues to confirm that a lineup of Westbrook, DDR, Sabonis, LaVine, and pretty much anyone else doesn't work.

It should be clear as day, too much standing around.

 

[The_Jamal]

LaVine got a beautiful 3-level offense game, but as soon as his shots don't fall, off-ball he is worse than a construction cone.

Pretty much the second Russ/DDR/LaVine came back.

Get the damn ball to the best player and stop with the hero ball bullcrap. Did they fall asleep during that run at the end of the 1Q?

It's the exact reason we're 11-30. They all play heliocentric ball, but aren't good enough to carry a team anymore in that fashion. While none of them play a lick of defense.

 

[Krunker]

Sabonis has overall been good but still soft on D

 

[KainLear]

Looked nice when Dylan the Villain was there acting as his enforcer.

 

[HndsmCelt]

If Dougie can keep Westbrook and Levine off the court, they might get the lead built back up.

 

[The_Jamal]

Pretty much the entire team outside of Russ/DDR/LaVine gets an A for the 1H. They get the opposite of an A

 

[HndsmCelt]

Sabonis has overall been good but still soft on D

So you’re saying he’s back to normal?

 

[Jdbraver137]

We need to pair Sabonis with max or Dylan at all times. Sabonis and precious switch at pf

 

[Krunker]

So you’re saying he’s back to normal?

Pretty much yep

Vivek picks have been mostly doody since they all got here *



* Deebo has been good on an individual level, but doody to our offense

 

[Sluggah]

Demar not into it.

 

[Jdbraver137]

Demar not into it.

Yah, can’t blame him for that.

 

[Sluggah]

lol. that’s a ruling I guess

 

[SacTownKid]

These young Wizards are getting a great learning experience in this one. This is the kind of thing that you see the season after.

 

[Jdbraver137]

Have the kings found a little bit of identity? Or am I hallucinating

 

[Kingz19]

Russ is shooting a career high three point percentage this season, at his highest volume since his OKC days.

 

[Tetsujin]

Nice off the dribble assist from Max. Five assists on the night.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Is there any team left in the league the Kings don’t have a Beef with.

 

[gunks]

Vivek picks have been mostly doody since they all got here

Sorry tankers, I jinxed it haha

 

[Tetsujin]

Dylan just helps things go so much smoother on defense. Same as Domas does on offense.

Max with 8 boards, 5 assists tonight too. Young C's doing it big and looking solid next to Domas in these double big LUs. Real intriguing going forward.

Dylan Cardwell needs to be nicknamed Strep, because he is highly contagious!
