Did Keegan secure the rebound?

 

[NewArena]

LMAO

 

[Kingz19]

Horse crap

 

[Sherds]

Laravia got him on the arm after... Will be interesting to see if they apply same logic as Clippers game. I dare say not

 

[Sluggah]

That’s bull

 

[iowamcnabb]

4 point play. Oh shiiii

 

[notoriousBEN3]

How does that warrant a tech? Guys get away with WAY more than that on a nightly basis. Refs clearly trying to make it a game.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

They just make up rules.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

The player made a legal blocked shot, but upon review he was wearing a Sacramento Kings uniform so the call stands. Memphis gets to shoot free throws until they gain the lead.

 

[HndsmCelt]

They need to change the name from coaches challenge to ref’s CYA

 

[gunks]

Started cooking dinner when we were up 20, wtf happened?!!?

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

premature AND a jinx

Naaa, Jinx has no power. I've never been superstitious. You can just tell the Kings are on tonight and nothing was going to change that.

 

[Sherds]

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

Same with Wells... Feel like he has more than 14 too

 

[HndsmCelt]

The effort is getting the exact opposite results of the Phoenix game. 50-50 balls all seem to be going the Kings way

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Murray with his twelfth double-double of the season. He had twelve in his first two seasons combined.

 

[NewArena]

Doug huddling the guys up. He knows we can’t be comfortable and start getting cute

 

["Him"mer Fredette]

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"

Ok I appreciate the answer. So more than likely he is gone... dang. Really liked the guy.

 

[NewArena]

See! LaVine has been passing his butt off tonight. That was so nice

 

[NewArena]

Every time our guys fall to the floor, my heart stops. Enough already

 

[HndsmCelt]

Light the beam!

 

[The_Jamal]

Ok I appreciate the answer. So more than likely he is gone... dang. Really liked the guy.

Maybe. He's a bit of a really weird scenario; basically 2 first lost years with injuries, MEM declines the option prior to this year because of that... and yet he proves he's actually an NBA player this year and looks like he'll have long-term staying power. I can't really remember a situation like his where the rookie who gets the their contract declined actually ends up being really good that same season.

I'd be pretty surprised if he got a big deal this off-season. Something like what Highsmith/Caleb Martin got, somewhere between 5-9 mil/season seems like a reasonable projection for what he'd get. And while I REALLY like what he brings, we're still talking about a guy with:

4.9 PPG
2.9 RPG
1.3 APG
49% TS
in a Kings uni. He's had some huge spike games, but he's also had quite a few where he was just straight invisible out there.

 

[NewArena]

That first run we went on was really spectacular. More of that energy please!

I thought, would it be possible for the Kings to get another team to sign and then trade Lavia back to us for one of our players?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Monk has shot less than 30 percent from 3 in 2025. He was due for a good shooting night

 

[Caccia]

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

Coach Christie said, "Wait, and then make the pass." Good timeout at a crucial point in the game. That challenge with under five minutes helped, too.

 

[SacTownKid]

Historically speaking he's due not only for a good month, he's due for a scorcher. No better time than now.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Just saw a picture of Sabonis injury he might not play the season that looked bad

22 assists between the guards and Derozan is very good the ball must’ve been moving

Remember when we were going to lose Harry Giles?

LaRavia is better. Some team could try to steal him with the type of deal we gave Monk after he had a halfway decent year with the Lakers, but since we will have Bird rights and there's a good chance Deebo is gone after next year, we can offer him a starting job when he signs that big deal after betting on himself.

Maybe he likes it in Sac? I do know he attended the Jesuit game in the state final over the weekend.

 

[Caccia]

Murray with his twelfth double-double of the season. He had twelve in his first two seasons combined.

Nice all-around game, with 10 rebounds. We needed the help on the boards with Sabonis out.

 

[Caccia]

Not for nothing, but we won the season series with the Vancouver Grizzlies, 2-1.
