Doug is a bucket

Keep feeding mc buckets. Dude is MONEY right now!

Nuggets sent like three dudes at him off the ball like he’s Steph last possession. Just gotta find the open guy and strike hard.

Doug is a bucket

He's earned some look going forward. The guy is a great shooter when in rhythm. Give him a lot of credit for sitting that long and coming in hot

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Murray was hitting too. Should have kept them both in honestly.

 

[SacTownKid]

He's not going to waive white towels early to buy rest. Just not going to do it. It's part of the culture and mindset he's building

Doug has to be smart at some point though. We got a lesson about this kind of thing with Walton. The Kings have made up the ground to get back in the play in race, not every game is life or death. Better looking L's can create a bad run of tired play eventually. We've seen it.

He’s shooting like Steph right now!

Just double Jokić and live with the results yea scoring every time in the post

 

[Rob-The-Great]

This is why I don't buy that tired back to back crap. How we get more energy in the 4th. That goes against everything human

True

 

[coolhandluke]

The real McBuckets

 

[Sluggah]

Amazing

McBuckets got fresh legs. He’s hasn’t played in like three weeks

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

The real McBuckets

this is why you don't disrespect a proven shooter and act like he's a throwaway non factor

 

[Kingz19]

Huerter may officially be fired with this McBuckets showing

 

[Angelo127]

Play-just give it to Dougy MckBuckets and have him hoist it up

McBuckets needs all of Heurter's McMinutes

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Monk what the actual **** is that foul

 

[HndsmCelt]

Westbrook apparently forgot they lost their challenge

 

[Angelo127]

I don't mind that, way to try to give it to your teammate

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

This has been another no quit statement by Christie. Love it

I agree! In my opinion this would have been a 40 point blowout by now had we still be coached by Mike Brown. The fact that the score is this close shows you the fight in Doug, even when the odds are stacked heavily against us.

 

[fansinceday1]

Holy s, Fox hit the side of the backboard with that one.

He's just not going to concede games that he believes (knows) that they can't make a run in and have a chance to win. Perfect example right here

 

[HndsmCelt]

I think a lot of what’s going on out there is about pride. Coaching these guys to put everything on the courts they can walk off heads held high regardless of outcome knowing they gave it they’re all.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Well this loss doesn't kill moral like it could have we can hang with this team and we didn't throw the towel in

Yeah, we'll see where it goes. DC did great with the short term fight, this is a long term battle now. The one thing the Kings can't afford is a bad run of tired play. As they say, live to fight another day.

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

Just the fact that the score ended this close just goes to show you how far we've come as a team compared to earlier in the season.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

So if Huerter is still playing ahead of McDermott at this point......?

 

[Kingz19]

Well, I appreciate the fight.

I was ready to call it a night after that full court Jokic shot.
