[Game] 67/82 Kings vs. Grizzlies 17 MAR 2025, 7pm PST/10pm EST

[Capt. Factorial]

Lost my best player for the season due to blood clots, and I just lost my second and third-best players just in time for a playoff matchup with @Capt. Factorial.

We're both pretty banged up. Feels like the 9/10 play-in game, the winner just destined to get chewed up soon.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I like how our announcers had no interest in telling us why we just shot a technical free throw

I think I heard Moak say Desmond Bane got T’d up

Huh, I just assumed JJJ got called for a breakaway foul - play-by-play on ESPN confirms tech on Bane

 

[SacTownKid]

Really liked that post defense from Carter. One thing he'll do is actually pull the bigger player by their hips into his own chest and bounce them around a little to keep them off balance. A lot of guards can't do that.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Been nice knowing ya, Jake!

JAK3

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

A win tonight would be absolutely huge! I mean lets face it, most of us probably had tonight marked as a loss. A 43 win team and a team we often have problems with.

 

[megapoxy]

DC calls a timeout and goes straight to Monk for that "flashy" pass he tried to make

 

[SacTownKid]

Jakes like you could have had this on a rookie contract. lol.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Watching this game in real time, you couldn't have convinced me that Edey only has 12 and 8.

 

[Kingz19]

Huh, I just assumed JJJ got called for a breakaway foul

I thought so at first too but LaVine shot the free throw, not LaRavia.

ESPN play by play shows it’s a Desmond Bane technical

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I know it was just a shot clock and not a game winner or anything, but that buzzer beater by Jake with the curl and turn was among the craziest shots I can remember seeing go in

I feel you... I'm in a similar situation lol. Finished 1st in RS but think I'll get bounced in the first round to a dude I'm not sure is even active

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Love Monk effort tonight. But we really, really need him to cut back on the flashy play that leads to a turnover and points. 6-8 free points we’ve give them on these bad turnovers

 

[NewArena]

Break ground on the LaRavia statue by midnight or we revolt. There’s a crowd trying to get a chant going as i type this

 

[Capt. Factorial]

There it is, the official "Jake La Ra Via" chant at G1C

 

[iowamcnabb]

The guy 7-7 from three passes up a wide open shot. Love it

 

[HndsmCelt]

This defense is bringing a tear to my eye!

 

[NewArena]

LaVine has been so much better at passing the rock than i expected. I’d like the ball in his hands a bit more

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

Call it premature, but game is over! Nice win guys! I didn't expect this, but love the effort and heart tonight! Light the Beam!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Without Bane we're up 40, this is nuts

 

[HndsmCelt]

Gotta look sharp!

 

[NewArena]

One thing i miss about Mike Brown is how quick he was to challenge something lmao to a fault, but DC much more hesitant.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Call it premature, but game is over! Nice win guys! I didn't expect this, but love the effort and heart tonight! Light the Beam!

premature AND a jinx

 

[SLAB]

Three games wallowing in their own misery (and I’m fine with it) but they needed this game after this last little break.

Ja or no Ja, whatever. This win is big. Build on it, and hope Sabonis isn’t out for that that long.

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Time to put JV back in for Lyles. And time to get IJ more mins once we suit him up

 

[Tizzy Flip]

This is about to get uncomfortable

 

[Kingz19]

All ball

 

[iowamcnabb]

We need this back

Man I’m praying.

If that's a foul then Demar Derozan definitely got ***** fouled
