48/82: Kings @ Thunder 01 FEB 2025, 5pm PT/8pm ET

[dude12]

I’d rather just watch Devin Carter and IJ and any other young guy at this point.

 

[forza kings]

OKC got the ugliest jerseys. Looks like Tides laundry detergent bottles.

Thunder shooting 65% from the three and the Kings are not making any adjustments. Kings are not going to catch up to it with their freelance offense.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Can't believe for 3 years we haven't prioritised adding size.

I'm no GM but it's so f@#king obvious.. We have like 2 serviceable players above 6'8

They've tried. Just haven't been able to get a "reasonable" deal with a team that's willing to do it.

This is not a size issue. They are killing us at the 3pt not overpowering us. We had the 3pt advantage 2 years ago. Then Huerrr and Murray forgot how to shoot at the perfect time when sabonis learned how to shoot.

How does this happen you might ask? I don't know

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Yes but having him play and seeing his trash impact on the game I'll make people reconsider that final push.

Fox going for 50 with loss woild be best case at this point

His value isn’t changing in the next week no matter what he does outside of getting hurt 100 point game doesn’t mean SA offers more

 

[Sherds]

They are making everything!!

we are playing with the intensity of morning shoot around. It's like those workout videos you see of players warming up with the front office staff in the off season... Sad

 

[LoungeLizard]

Thunder gonna put up 80 this half

Correction. 82

 

[Joshyjosh31]

How does that help us. Do you want a guy with a torn acl for mqx

Yes! His game won’t change this isn’t the 90’s

Youre about to get killed for staying the obvious

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Sabonis passing up an open FT line shot to body someone for a tougher fade away is classic Domas. We need the Domas who has a pair and pulls the trigger whenever he has space.

Yeah, he just needs to take any open shot. He still turns down open looks from 3 as well

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Correction. 82

So it was you who caused this?

 

[SacTownKid]

Doug Christie has done some good things, but he's already carving himself out as one of the worst coaches I've seen when it comes to using his bench. Playing guys 2-4 minutes is just begging for failure. I'm honestly shocked by it. I can't say I've ever seen ANY coach do this. And we've seen some serious doozies as Kings fans over the years lol. Are they showcasing the entire starting unit maybe?

 

[Showtime]

McBuckets time! Let loose the Huert locker too. Play all the bench and put Len in there and see what happens.

 

[Elektrik]

82 points for OKC. Wow! I know they’re good but Kings body language shows how much this trade talk has affected this team. Add this brutal road trip and The Kings look beat already. Still have to go to Minnesota on Monday. After that, the trade deadline and the All Star game. Hopefully we can get through this nightmare and salvage what’s left of this season to make the playoffs.
This is pretty sad and pathetic to watch. Make the trade.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Our bench has zero points!! What the hell man

 

[megapoxy]

At least we should see more IJ in the 2nd half.
Off topic Hornets announcer is a legend!

Since we now know Brown killed a summer deal for Collins I think we can all point the finger on why we are stuck playing midget ball going back to everyone else we cut the last two years.

Absolutely agree with this. How can guys get in a rhythm with 2 to 3 min spot play. This is terrible. And I love Christie

 

[SacTownKid]

The bench is literally 1 guy tonight though. Every other player came in for like 3-4 possessions tops? lol.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Klutched.

and Fox allowed it. Started by going to Draymond Green for help. Pretty crazy when you think about it

 

[twslam07]

Youre about to get killed for staying the obvious

Wait…which posters here disagree that we need to add more size & length?

 

[SacTownKid]

Uh, the Kings have actually played bigger than the Thunder tonight if you're going by height. The Thunder are the guardiest of guard teams. They do have some legit beef though that's for sure. Guys in that 6'3" to 6'5" range but pack around 200 pounds plus.

At this point I don't blame Fox for wanting help. Not for fan of him doing the Klutch thing, but what other options are there if your FO won't do anything....

 

[Rob-The-Great]

No we allowed it. By catering to this guy too long. Every press conference is about kissing his ass. Foxy this foxy that. This is a ultimate team game. Fox is not the only problem let me be clear. But this team just can't afford and distractions.

AND PLAY THE DAM BENCH CHRISTIE!

 

[Rob-The-Great]

This wouldn't be the game to defend the team. But we litteraly just wok what 8 in a row?

If we can get locked in without the drama we are a good team. Not great but dammit good

 

[Caccia]

Our bench has zero points? And we gave up 82 in one half.

Good thing I missed the first half. Golly.

 

[Sherds]

At least we should see more IJ in the 2nd half.

Not sure why we went away from him... We needed his energy and size on the glass

 

[SacTownKid]

They signed his boy Monk. They drafted Keegan. They traded Haliburton. They signed DeMar. What the heck else are they supposed to do? Cousins is somewhere jealous as ****, haha.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Nobody blames him for wanting better fitting players. I do blame him for going to Draymond Green during a critical point in the season.

What do you think Sabonis thinks of that move? The guy who curb stomped him in the middle of their home floor
