[Game] 46/82: Kings @ Cavaliers 23 JAN 2026, 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET

[NewArena]

ooh Sabonis and Cardwell at the same time

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Great defense from Cardwell. Dude is relentless

 

[NewArena]

We got the Cavs looking like last year's world beaters

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Sabonis with Cardwell is one hell of a rebounding tandem

 

[Tetsujin]

Dylan Cardwell singlehandedly making this Kings unit good defensively lol

 

[NewArena]

Monk, Nique, Sabonis and Cardwell. I like it! Wish Keegan were in there somewhere

 

[NewArena]

This lineup is so much better than that group of starters, it's scary. And then we're gonna have to suffer through the start of the 2nd half with the same slop smh

Sabonis with Cardwell is one hell of a rebounding tandem

From my view, Cardwell is in your perfect pairing with Sabonis down low while precious compliments Max’s game. Awkward conversation when you put Sabonis into the starting lineup, but you gotta have it.

 

[Sluggah]

If Cardwell turns out to be the perfect complement to Domas, I don’t love the idea of any Toronto trade

 

[Tetsujin]

Dylan already with three fouls.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kevin Scott won't let Cardwell be great.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

No cheap attempts with Cardwell lurking. Everything is contested with authority

 

[Caccia]

OK, let's start these guys: Sabonis, Cardwell, Clifford, Monk, Schroeder.

 

[Sluggah]

…if he can stay on the floor

Seems to me that it’s not necessarily more talented than the starters but the bench plays with so much more energy, they care. We have guys starting for us. I honestly don’t think care.

 

[Tetsujin]

Domas on pace for a first half triple double lmao

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

…if he can stay on the floor

love the aggressiveness though. The young man has established identity about as fast as possible

Its Sabonis. The Cavs bigs just can’t match his strength and physicality.

 

[Tetsujin]

Seems to me that it’s not necessarily more talented than the starters but the bench plays with so much more energy, they care. We have guys starting for us. I honestly don’t think care.

Not playing two 37 year olds and a 30-something-year-old who plays like he’s 40 helps.

 

[Sluggah]

Wild that we evened it up in the end

Lukewarm take: Domas is really freaking good and when you have guys around him that are willing to recognize the fact, it leads to successful basketball lol

 

[Caccia]

Wild that we evened it up in the end.

They played like men possessed.

 

[Sluggah]

I’m glad I don’t live in Cleveland. Even the arena looks cold.

 

[NewArena]

Domas on pace for a first half triple double lmao

Again, people keep forgetting how great and impactful he can be when healthy. No way you just trade him for the sake of moving that contract IMO

 

[Tetsujin]

Despite appearances, Max ain’t soft.

 

[Tetsujin]

Starters back in but with Domas instead of Max

 

[HndsmCelt]

After applying a defibrillator at the four minute mark, the corpse is back up to try again

 

[HndsmCelt]

Despite appearances, Max ain’t soft.

It’s the Rambus effect

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

The flop call is pitifully underused
