[Game] 47/82: Kings @ Pistons 25 JAN 2026, Noon PT/3:00 pm ET

[iowamcnabb]

Jenkins is from my neck of the woods!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Keon handing the ball to the kid sitting courtside, before the inbounds. That's cool

 

[Tetsujin]

Beef Stew couldn’t get around Cardwell at all

 

[HndsmCelt]

I guess rumors of Keon’s demise were greatly exaggerated

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I guess rumors of Keon’s demise were greatly exaggerated

Was someone dumb enough to write him off?

 

[Tetsujin]

I don’t want to make it as simple as Zach Lavine being the problem but these rotations make a lot more sense without him in them lol

 

[Caccia]

Don’t know enough about past pistons players to have an opinion on the poll, but surprised none of the 2004 championship team made the list.

Yeah, I added Rasheed Wallace.

 

[Tetsujin]

Jeebus Keon what were you thinking there?

 

[HndsmCelt]

Was someone dumb enough to write him off?

I was referring to the fact that we’ve seen his face more often on milk cartons, than on the court

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Yeah, Kayte, and that style is, "Hey, you know what would be really cool? Effort!"

 

[HndsmCelt]

For the record, I really like this high energy bench

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Isaiah Stewart averages almost eleven points a game? I refuse to believe it: I've still never seen a highlight of that dude with a basketball in his hands.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah, Kayte, and that style is, "Hey, you know what would be really cool? Effort!"

“How about not dribbling the air out of the ball for twenty seconds before jacking up a contested middy?”

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I don’t want to make it as simple as Zach Lavine being the problem but these rotations make a lot more sense without him in them lol

When the stats have proven consistently that you don't help winning with a huge contract, then you generally can fall into the category of being a problem. Pretty simple and even Perry knows this

"It's crazy enough that it just might work!"

Define "huge," because I'm going to need more work to be shown before I buy in on paying Shai Gilgeous-Alexander his money wasn't conducive to winning.

I mean, we have a lot of other problems, but there's a reason a lot of us were heated about getting Zach for Fox

 

[Caccia]

Lackadaisical start to the second quarter. Detroit has their best player on the court, but I fear Domantas' minutes are still restricted.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Christie should get his challenge back: a call that can be overturned that quickly should never have been made in the first place.

They're probably restricted by the two fouls as much as anything.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Cardwell making life tough in the trenches for Stewart

 

[iowamcnabb]

Dylan is good for at least one dumb foul a game. I think he can at least learn to cut those out

 

[Tetsujin]

Nique had a strong first stretch and has been glued to the bench so Russ could just sorta stand around and wait for the ball ever since.

 

[Caccia]

He will come back in with about six minutes to go.

Okay, eight minutes to go.

Monk with three blocks already.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Turnovers are just killing us

 

[Caccia]

I hope Monk is okay. He had that collision with Cunningham at mid-court.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Westbrook was one of my fav players.

Until he joined the kings

 

[HndsmCelt]

Kings falling apart

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kings have, what, one timeout left the rest of the game?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kings falling apart
