Keon slid into the Kings bench and laid there and said "you're not going to help me up?"

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Floor seats, G1
I got my tool in.
Fourth quarter screaming,
Why the **** is Russ in?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

It’s fun watching the young guys excel. But now it’s time to close this lin out.

Westbrook is handling that tonight

 

[Krunker]

Nice to see Keon out there hustling and doing his thing (would rather it be in a kings jersey ofc)

 

[BuddyBuckets]

Seeing Russ take these shots when Nique is playing the way he is, so frustrating..

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Clifford with a 30 piece. nice

 

[Krunker]

Westbrook is still tank commanding

 

[Tetsujin]

TANK COMMANDER RUSS

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I dunno, it's very clear now that the plan was definitely showcasing the vets to try to get something out of them at the deadline. Unfortunately there's only one Vivek out there and we're stuck with him.

Good news is that it seems very clear that the youth movement is on. Zach can stay home, nobody cares. He's a sulky tank commander and a trade piece next season as an ender.

Nobody is taking Zach until we buy him out at the deadline. Honestly after Spencer Hawes he's become my least favorite player to don the Kings uniform ever.

 

[Krunker]

Christie must really want to break the losing streak to put demar in

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

TANK COMMANDER RUSS

problem is DeRozan is still in

 

[Tetsujin]

Deebo never commanding a tank. Russ however is always leading his tank ever forward

 

[BuddyBuckets]

Sure am glad Russ and Demar are going to ice out Nique in what should be a game we let him close out. yay! Solid development!

 

[HndsmCelt]

And Westbrook remains committed to the tank

 

[Tetsujin]

Russ truly an epic tank commander. Man hasn’t done a single good thing down the stretch lol

 

[NewArena]

Carter's patience and decision making stand out to me more than anything. That wrap around pass to Cardwell was BEAUTIFUL!

 

[King-Da-Yah]

Tank. That. Beam!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'm so annoyed at having watched the way the kids have played in the second half, only to see a one-possession game come down to watching Westbrook and DeRozan playing hero ball. More like disgusted, actually.

 

[MizzouKing]

We died by the Russ tonight, but only in crunch time.

 

[NewArena]

ehhh I just can't root for losses. I wanted them to win this one

 

[NewArena]

All the development he could’ve had

eh, he very well could have been holding himself back and did something to change the way coach looks at him now.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I'm so annoyed at having watched the way the kids have played in the second half, only to see a one-possession game come down to watching Westbrook and DeRozan playing hero ball. More like disgusted, actually.

I get it. And yet I'm going to enjoy the kids more with whoever we draft while those two are gone.

 

[MizzouKing]

Carter’s hustle goes a long way to paper over his flaws

I see the other guys also stepping up to help him when his decisions aren't flowing quickly enough... you can grow much more quickly when your team has your back.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

A 12 win team on a 12 game losing streak

 

[KingsRUs]

with Russ/Deebo minutes, and his mannerisms when the Cavs took the lead, not sure Doug in tune with the tank lol

 

[sactowndog]

Sure am glad Russ and Demar are going to ice out Nique in what should be a game we let him close out. yay! Solid development!

I think done on purpose to tank.

 

[iowamcnabb]

30 4 4 2 2 -Nique
14 7- Max
12 11 4 1 1- Cardwell
18 4 4 1 1- Devin

 

[NewArena]

Shades of Kevin Martin in terms of how quiet that 30 ball was from Nique tonight. Did not realize he had that much

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

with Russ/Deebo minutes, and his mannerisms when the Cavs took the lead, not sure Doug in tune with the tank lol

Perry told us they were going to try to win games here in this stretch. Might not have been a lie

 

[Krunker]

I think we probably beat the pelicans next and break the streak. We do have room to win a couple and keep our odds in the lottery.
