Sabonis has aged 10 years tonight

LaRavia just makes winning plays.

I hope the Kings can convince him to re-sign

 

[Kingz19]

Monk must be the only player ever with an audible in game catch phrase like it’s a sitcom

“Oh Gah Damn”

 

[Capt. Factorial]

That kind of thing is why I was high on Edey in this draft

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

The best thing about defense is that it still works even when the shots aren't falling.

 

[NewArena]

Keegan has had to guard about 4 different players and positions in this first half alone lol he’s awesome

 

[NewArena]

Beautiful pass from LaVine. Let him handle it a little more

 

[NewArena]

LAVINE!

 

[iowamcnabb]

Nice

 

[Kingz19]

16 points on 6 shots

pretty efficient

 

[SacTownKid]

When a team plays the Grizz they have to just understand, they get to play a different game. Where fouls are counted every 3rd time.

LaVine is a legit catch and shoot player that can also get downhill . Domas could have a 2022 Huerter on steroids like DHO connection with LaVine once they get used to playing with other.

In terms of the space Domas creates as a screener, very few guys make more logical sense than LaVine as a counter part offensively. Always felt like the Fox-Domas 2-man game could never get any traction because Fox was never really able to develop as a consistent shooter. And Huerter ended up not being good enough to be a sustainable 15-18 PPG player.

 

[Caccia]

Nice half. I am ready for another. You know that Memphis is going to make a run at some point.

They like to drive into the lane from the left and especially the right elbows, and play like an option quarterback: shoot, pass inside, or pass it out. The Kings have been ready for it and racked up nine steals.

 

[Caccia]

DeRozan with 7 quiet assists already. Keep it coming!

 

["Him"mer Fredette]

Is there any way the kings could rearrange and finances/move someone to keep Jake? I really like him as a piece of the team... I'm not a Cap genius kinda guy

Not a finances problem. A stupid "cap rule" problem because the Grizzlies declined his option.

Best we can hope for is a 1+1 for 5 mil/season. Essentially say "Hey, take your 4th year rookie deal money, get some injury protection with a fifth year or if things go horrible and go hit FA a year later after fully proving he's a starting caliber wing"

 

[megapoxy]

Did anyone else think that Monk was about to do the same thing again with the ball bouncing on his head in that reverse fast break dunk?

 

[NewArena]

Welp. That’s it

 

[NewArena]

It’s just not our year. People can blame the front office all they want but you can’t do anything about injuries

 

[iowamcnabb]

Wow

 

[Sluggah]

crap

 

[Kingz19]

Not good

 

[Angelo127]

That's a bad turn

 

[HndsmCelt]

Aughhhhh it’s like a damn curse!

 

[megapoxy]

Never saw halftime stats before (usually I do other things until 3rd quarter begins), now it was shown that Kings have 25-4 record when Deebo has a positive +/- and that Keegan today has a 90points defensive rating, is this the team with the best offensive rating in the league or the fastest pace or something.

Kings for sure taking advantage of Memphis using their 2 point guards making so many steals.

 

[Kingz19]

We finally get Domas a legit backup and now he starts having bad luck with injuries

 

[NewArena]

Buckle up for some very interesting foul calls in this 2nd half, guys lol I’m already preparing my emotions.

 

[megapoxy]

So Domas will not return since Crawford shot the free throws.

 

[Sherds]

This season has been a roller-coaster to say the least

 

[iowamcnabb]

So Memphis is just going to make all of their shots huh
