[Game] 79/82: Kings @ Pistons 07 APR 2025, 4pm PT/7pm ET

Lavine was 8-11 from three and we only shot 40 percent haha

 

[Kingz19]

Performance of the season in my view.

obviously Zach and Deebo ate but everybody deserves a shout out.

Domas is back to form.

Keon and Trey excellent defensively tonight.

Jonas and DC off the bench.

Great game

History will likely read that DDR on the Kings didn’t work out but it’s not going to do justice to how consistent he is. The man is a bucket and a half.

Meanwhile the championship game is 31-28 at half

 

[Harkness]

When Zach is on...his jumper is pure and more athletic than anyone else who can hit 3's in bulk.

 

[jphilip]

Great win good effort love my kings

 

[The_Jamal]

If we don't tear it down this off-season, this has to be the plan; LaVine/DDR buckets, Domas offensive hub and literally everyone else around them is grit/grind/hard-nosed defenders that can hit a 3.

 

[est.1999]

Don’t do it!!!

Cmon, you should know better……

Hahaha I started rooting for tanking to keep our pick but that’s looking more and more unlikely. If they keep playing like this they could come out of the play in but that’ll be it

 

[iowamcnabb]

My only complaint about this one was only getting one three point attempt out of Keon. Hes just too good of a shooter to not get a few more up. Obviously Zach had it going and that played a role

 

[sactowndog]

Didn’t watch the game but saw Monk had only 6 minutes. Did he get hurt?

 

[Kingz19]

Didn’t watch the game but saw Monk had only 6 minutes. Did he get hurt?

yeah, calf injury

 

[funkykingston]

Just when I'd given up on this team they go and win two tough road games. Hopefully they can finish the season strong and take that momentum into the play-in.

More importantly, maybe there's hope for next season.

Gutsy W. Respect. If we lost today - yesterday battle would be for none.
Elite specialists in any field have pride. And guts. These last 2 games showed everyone that Kings have plenty of talent. Skills.
DC best winning streak is 7 (marvelous games). Now we have 2 Ws. We need to get those last 3 games at home, then win 2 play-in games and 1st game on the road in OKC. That will count for 8 game winning streak. I'm in
BTW, during the Fox-exit, I watched some of the Fox's highlights with Kings. I chuckled a bit. Sure, Fox is this and that, but man, how much space Domas was making for him in the paint or hitting him with the right passes. I thought to myself then "Could luck Foxy with Wemby".
It took some time, but Zach now shows that he is "getting" how to use what Domas and other guys can make for him on offense. Of course, Zach's ability to go bananas on his own is a rare thing. He alone won half a dozen games for Bulls this season, just Kings talent is more mature. Bulls young guys are a beauty, but nobody can have it all.
Edit: oooops, I made fool of myself - Kings have 3 straight Ws. I hope I didn't jinx anything (though I never jinx things in life ). Still, I'm looking forward for Kings win in game #1 against OKC.

LAVINE MY BOY

entire team doing the Keegan lol

 

[bball_nomad]

Good pic above. guys really look tired. Only the one with the crown is smiling.
JV is in deep thoughts. I think he has left some unfinished business in Pistons locker room

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

How do you have 12 rebounds in 13 minutes?

That's roughly a rebound on every defensive possession miss for almost a full quarter. He literally got all the defensive rebounds for a quarter. Simply nutty.

 

[NewArena]

That's all they said. I didn't even notice it, he just walked off the floor and straight to the back.

Oh brother

 

[Joshyjosh31]

I give up on watching the team if there’s anything good on tv and we beat Cleveland/Detroit on a back to back after losing to Washington unbelievable

 

[megapoxy]

How do you have 12 rebounds in 13 minutes?

That's roughly a rebound on every defensive possession miss for almost a full quarter. He literally got all the defensive rebounds for a quarter. Simply nutty.

He had 9 rebounds the first 4 minutes (all in Q1) I think most of them were offensive, three of them in the same possession trying to tip the ball in the basket. Kings were 17-5 in rebounds in 1st quarter.

 

[NewArena]

Is Keegan day to day? He and Monk being out right before the play-in would be just our luck this season

 

[Caccia]

It just goes to show, if the Kings can score points, they can hang with anyone. That stretch at the end of March where they scored 108, 95, 128, 91, and 109 points was devastating and deflating. The single win came versus Portland.

Love seeing the double double from Jonas. Gonna need him to continue getting minutes for the big play-in games we have coming up

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Tye college game is levels above the nba regardless of score

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Totally unexpected win. I love being surprised. It's refreshing.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

The problem is I have that wizards (bullets) game in the back of my brain. I wanna believe, I really do!

It is indeed hard to get games like that one out of your head. I'm right there with you.

Every time I write them off after a few uninspired losses, they do something just like this and roll off a couple wins against some good teams.

 

[iowamcnabb]

not for me. I like watching the most talented players do crazy stuff every night. College games are fine but they are too slow and clogged for my taste and the talent level is worlds apart.

 

[Caccia]

According to one report, Malik Monk has "right calf soreness," and is listed as "questionable" for tomorrow night against Denver.

It sounds like a short-term problem requiring rest.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

A damnable lie.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Is that Ying Yang Twins?

One of the “Twins” came into our restaurant last year and told the server we had the best lemon pepper wings he has ever had. Quite the compliment given he is from the birth place of the seasoning.
