JVAL sighting

 

[Tetsujin]

JV middy!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Can I get my money back?

No refunds. They'll make it up to you at home

 

[The_Jamal]

LAVINE TO JVAL. THE FUTURE IS HERE

 

[Sluggah]

JV wasting 0 time

 

[Sluggah]

Caught the rim out bug already?!

 

[Tetsujin]

And they said Jonas wasn’t an upgrade on Len lmao

 

[The_Jamal]

Jval 4 possessions, 4 shot attempts. GET EM UP

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Clingan a very big boy.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Carter has got to improve his shot attempts around the rim

 

[Krunker]

Having big JV pushing his weight around is kind of nice

 

[Tetsujin]

How is Jonas gonna play for us this weekend when he’s got to play in the Super Bowl on Sunday?

 

[SacTownKid]

Hakeem Valanciunas? lol.

 

[Larry89]

If Carter can turn into like 70% of Rondo it will be a success

 

[iowamcnabb]

Big boy

 

[HndsmCelt]

First time in I don’t know how long Sabona sat down, and I was not suddenly nervous

 

[The_Jamal]

2 for 1 remains stupid.

 

[Tetsujin]

nice block by Lavine

 

[Larry89]

Having JV on the team and throwing him the ball is kind of like defense because everyone will be playing basketball like it's 2004 again with the pace slowing down and getting a high % look.... I think

 

[Kingz19]

Jonas not shy

 

[SacTownKid]

Hmmm... that unit? Playing some serious D. LaVine might be the defender some think he is?

 

[Tetsujin]

Much better effort than the second half of last night. Just gotta keep it up for the whole game.

 

[Noble]

JV just looks like he'll throw you through a window.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Played a lot of that quarter without Keegan and held up well with Keon taking on a lot of the defensive “anchor” responsibilities.

 

[The_Jamal]

Jonas not shy

This is why you brought him here. Give the 2nd unit an offensive hub. Since Monk got promoted to starter, the stat that's been thrown around is the Kings have the 2nd lowest scoring bench. And really, it's only because Thibs is a psycho that doesn't play a bench.

 

[Larry89]

JV just looks like he'll throw you through a window.

Well he is one of the best TE to ever play in the NFL so...

Maybe the refs are "Swifties" and we could get some calls.

 

[Tetsujin]

Hmmm... that unit? Playing some serious D. LaVine might be the defender some think he is?

The dude’s 6’5” with jets strapped to his feet. It’s hard to figure out how he’d be BAD at defense.

 

[SacTownKid]

JV just looks like he'll throw you through a window.

And then eat the window.

 

[Caccia]

Nice start, holding Portland to only 27 points at home. We need to cash in around the rim better.
