JV gives deliberately a cold shoulder to Brooks after he rips the ball off Sengun's hand. Nice to have a big who stands up for his colleague (Deebo).

One thing about Fox that i missed, is the 2-3 times a game he would do this along with Keon. The Fultz acquisition is just so smart
and the timing feels awesome

The fact that he had some DNP-CDs this year is one of the worst coaching decisions I’ve seen. Totally indefensible

To be fair, Keon only had two DNPs under Mike Brown, but there were two other games where he played less than five minutes. Three of those four were losses.

It’s a hamstring you assume the worst hope for the better. Keep him out till it’s 100 healed hanky’s always tricky

Injuries are never a good thing but there's a silver lining here in that he'll get some much needed rest.

Jonas just makes winning plays as do Ellis and Keegan. The big scoring 3 did there thing and Lyle's ha d a great cameo. Jonas for such a big lumbering guy has a pretty good quick jump almost as good as Bagley's 2nd jump.

Different types of centers,

Rockets are not a good three point shooting team, the star of the show tonight was the zone defense featuring Keon Ellis as free safety. Naturally that wrecked havoc of them...JV was able to patrol the paint as well since he didn't really have to cover ground

Now play Jonas vs a good three point shooting team? Sabonis is much better when he is switched out onto guards and his post defense is quite good. Jonas has more length.

Aside from Bad Adebayo you can kill every single C with a good 3 point shooting team

I expected there would be news on Domas by now.

I hope that means it’s not a big deal…………

Pretty sneakily, we've all of a sudden gotten a good amount of role guys that can impact the game without needing to score the ball:

Keegan
Keon
Jv
LaRavia
Fultz

LaRavia has been ice cold shooting the ball, but he's just so solid everywhere on the floor; good defender, good connective passer, hustle guy/tough.

But we've been at our best when we mix these guys in with our 4 lead offensive hubs. Gives us our best chance at offensive and defensive success, even though this team has basically been put together over the last month

They are on the road and have to schedule an MRI.

They are on the road and have to schedule an MRI.

I’m use to the NFL that announces their injuries pretty quickly.

we should just prepare for the worst and be pleasantly surprised if it’s just a strain.

 

[Kingster]

I'm sure glad the Kings have JV. They don't win this game without him. And with Sabonis probably out for an extended period - maybe the remainder of the season - JV is indispensable.

The upcoming games without Sabonis is going to test Lyles quite a bit in his back-up center role.

 

[Jdbraver137]

JV is valuable because he gives us an option of playing a different way. It makes us much harder to game plan for. The good thing is that we can go small with Lyles as well. Hopefully, that will allow us to remain afloat as Sabonis heals.

It's almost like we have a great GM and front office. Nahhhhh not the Kings!!!

He’s ruled out of Monday’s game. None of the Mavs bigs are playing so that should be ok.

Classed as hamstring soreness for now. So I guess day to day

Ufffff..... looks like it might be couple games instead of couple weeks. As I remember very well myself - it is better to let the muscle heal 100% than go through "discomfort" and pain. Cause it might cause bigger damage. OK, take a breather for couple games. Guys should have your back.

Skal waiting on a phone call in Stockton.

By golly, you nailed it.
