Nice "jump" shot from Jonas. He is now 4-4 plus a FT.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Umm, Keon, that was more like "no ball" than "all ball"

 

[Section 101]

JV looks bad

This aged well.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Remember the Carter-Ellis-LaRavia minutes? Remember how fun those were?

 

[SacTownKid]

This aged well.

He finally woke up. Had to shake off last nights slumber.

 

[Remi]

This aged well.

Yes, glad that he produced some good offense after 2-3 turnovers

This seems like an apt metaphor for the Kings entire 2024-2025 season.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

What was Grayson doing there? He drove the baseline and tried to throw a reverse hammer pass to himself, except he wasn't there anymore. Which he probably should have known.

 

[Tetsujin]

Everyone aside from Deebo is trying to give the ball to Deebo lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah, the Devin/Keon backcourt is the way to go

 

[SacTownKid]

Gee, Keon and Devin KILLING IT.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I always hate it when the Kings get out early behind red-hot three-point shooting. Because it always inevitably cools off, but they always keep shooting them, anyway.

 

[Caccia]

Yeah, the Devin/Keon backcourt is the way to go.

Against Phoenix, anyway. It would not work against say, the New York Knicks.

I am enamored with the mental image this put in my head.

 

[Caccia]

Monk won the Crossover Community award for the second year in a row.

Well done, Mr. Monk!

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kings can't stand prosperity.

 

[SacTownKid]

It's legit crazy, can the Kings even guard pick and roll without Carter out there? It's become that drastic. This very easily explains the monumental on/off numbers for Carter lately.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Suns roleplayers trying to put some "money on tape," while Kings starters are playing like they don't care whether they host the 9/10 game or not.

 

[Remi]

amazing Sabonis fight over the ball

 

[Caccia]

Wow. Sabonis wrestling hard on the court for the ball with seconds left in the half. Kind of scary.

Yeah, already banged up, Dallas might lose anyway. No need to play like their lives are on the line, lol.

 

[Caccia]

Mavericks down by 21 with a minute left in the first half.

 

[DynaPamm]

I don't think they're even allowed to submit votes for that yet until tomorrow? Could that have been the Oscar Robertson award?

EDIT - Also, Monk started 45 games this season, which I'm pretty sure means he's not eligible for 6MOY.

Well I honestly just sat down and maybe I was confused, because they handed him the trophy then they flashed 6th man so I’m sorry if i misunderstood what was what going on

The Kings pick chances are still alive? lol.

No worries. A perfectly reasonable mistake.

LTU 29 - Kings 28

I'm from Chicago. Bulls finished season with the 39-43 record, 15-5 in last 20. Kings are 6-13 in last 19. Why Kings got DDR when they needed length and athleticism in the paint is beyond me.

Checked the boxscore, TIL Bagley is still in the league.
