[Game] 60/82: Kings @ Mavericks, 03 MAR 2025, 5:30p PT/8:30p ET

Not looking great for “OMax was our missing piece” guy.

 

[Tetsujin]

my lord this is a Keegan defensive masterclass.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Came in late - did both Kyrie and Monk get hurt? What's up?

 

[The_Jamal]

Oh wow, good nugget from Jones there. First time Jval's seen his family since the trade.

Easy to forget that side of it from our perspective as keyboard warriors. There's A LOT of context going on we don't really see or think about

 

[SacTownKid]

Nice to see LaVine keep it going after winning the POW. It always seemed like Fox would tank the next game after getting recognized.

Both took awkward steps on drives. The "not good" kind. Kyrie's looked a lot worse, Monk was at least able to somewhat walk off normally. Kyrie needed help walking off

Didn't look too severe but it had to hurt and if it's a bad sprain that might be it for this season unfortunately.

Bummer for Kyrie. Hope he bounces back.

Wow, Kings getting lazy and letting down on defense because Irving is now out. Somehow the Kings need to develop a killer instinct and destroy teams when the teams they are are playing are short handed. When they’re down drowning at the bottle of the pool, stick a hose in their mouth and finish the job.

That's their tendency to let their guards down, when key players are out of the good teams.

Was finally able to watch the video replay of Monk's injury. I'm thinking Monk will probably miss 3 to 5 games, so it doesn't seem too serious compared to Kyrie.

 

[Sluggah]

Kai Jones, huh.

 

[BosnianDiehard2.0]

If Val was hitting his bunnies we’d be chilling right now lol.

 

[Tetsujin]

LaRavia such a solid role player. Just hope some other team doesn’t see him as a 5million dollar plus role player this summer lol

 

[sono]

LaRavia is doing everything off the stats, what a good addition.

 

[Tetsujin]

Keon with some of the best close out blocks I’ve seen from a smaller wing/guard.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Destructive D by Ellis

 

[Tetsujin]

feel like Kai Jones killed us with the Clippers earlier in the season too.

Welp

One of the scariest things in the NBA as of now - Kings running a fastbreak.

 

[Sluggah]

If I see another Kai Jones dunk…

 

[Capt. Factorial]

DeRozan passes up the open layup for the attempted turnover, somehow magically gets turned into FTs

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Keegan x2

 

[BosnianDiehard2.0]

Keegan has been outstanding on defense tonight.

 

[KaiJonesBall]

If I see another Kai Jones dunk…

I’ll explode

 

[SacTownKid]

DeMar and LaVine are doing a great job of just being the two most talented players on the floor tonight. They're getting the ball, drawing double teams, swinging it, scoring, doing it all out there.

 

[gunks]

Unable to watch the game, but I like that Keegan is keeping pace with Deebo and Lavine in scoring

 

[Caccia]

Didn't look too severe but it had to hurt and if it's a bad sprain that might be it for this season unfortunately.

Irving had hand tremors when he was on the floor. That's a bad sign in my book.

Beer sales just took a hit

Keegan has been outstanding on defense tonight.

And his shooting touch looks perfect, hence the high clip.
