DOMANTAS “NBA Malpractice” SABONIS

[Tetsujin]

Any questions??

Dudes a winner

 

[Tetsujin]

Domantas Sabonis comes up clutch, and the Sacramento Kings are flying home happy after a 3-1 road trip.

What. A. Game.

It’s wild that a guy’s numbers could ever be so good that 16/16/7 counts as an “average” game but Domas probably had one of his worst games of the year and still found a way to get a huge double-douncle and the game winner

Any questions??

ask that JJR

Don’t let the game winner distract you from some of the defense Sabonis played tonight as well. pic.twitter.com/mrUOZqj2Qb

I'd like to start a petition to make Double Douncle Sabonis' new nickname.

Domantas reminded me of that Rocky movies franchise, he got beaten down, knocked down twice with hits on the head but he stood again and knocked them out himself in the end.

Dude was absolutely incredible when we needed him to be. Not hesitating at all with that 3 in key moments, and i have to credit Mike Brown and the staff for that as well.

 

[dude12]

How does he keep his cool all the time knowing he’s going to get several blows to the head and no call

 

[Jc121]

He keeps his cool by being physical with any opponent who attempts get the best of him. Sometimes by not showing they are getting to you frustrates them more and I really believe he makes them pay every game.

Love this version of Sabonis. Looks like he took criticism in the right way and worked on his free throw and three point shooting. He's more decisive when he makes his moves and has reaped the benefits. Averaging 20+ PPG shooting 60% from the floor and 50% from the three while continuing to lead the league in rebounds for the third consecutive year is remarkable. We have a legit Big 3 and we are just getting started.

Domantas Sabonis becomes the first player since 1977-78 with...

✅ a triple-double
✅ NO turnovers
✅ NO missed shots
✅ NO missed free throws

Flawless night from the Kings center! pic.twitter.com/k08WUHHdSp

‘No misses’ as in no shot attempts missed from the field or the free throw line.

He went 6/6 FG and 5/5 FT.

Nikola Jokic recorded a triple-double on 10/20/18 with 0 turnovers and 100% FG (11/11) but missed a free-throw (10/11).

Domas making history quite often!

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings players in the Sacramento era (1985-present) to post a triple-double with 0 turnovers:

Chris Webber (21 PTS | 10 REB | 11 AST | March, 2000)
Domantas Sabonis (17 PTS | 11 REB | 13 AST | Nov. 2024)

What a night for Domas. pic.twitter.com/jT4Fo3aGX1

Still can’t believe the Pacers just let us have Sabonis (a two time all-star at the time) for Tyrese while also taking Buddy off our hands and not even asking for a single pick in exchange.

I take his triple-doubles for granted, no longer jaw-dropping... and this one has an extra flavor to it.
What the most impressive is there's no shade of a stat-padding over it.

 

[megapoxy]

I wonder how many of those triple doubles are with 5+ turnovers, ok i searched it myself, he has 21, 8th in the list (via statmuse).

Sabonis in the loss today:
21 PTS
14 REB
11 AST
8-10 FG

He now has the most triple-doubles in NBA history with at most 10 shots:

19 — Domantas Sabonis
18 —Draymond Green
17 — Nikola Jokic
16 — Jason Kidd
15 — Wilt Chamberlain pic.twitter.com/YixcbbZWjZ

And the thing is, down low, he needs to be hitting a little hook shot here and there not passing right out when he gets tree stumped when backing his man down.

 

[Caccia]

As far as I am concerned, Domantas Sabonis is the second-best center in the NBA, behind Nikola Jokić. He is a model of consistency and accountability. His run of double-doubles last season was spectacular. Sabonis brings it even when no on else seems ready to play. It's a doggone shame that the team is not winning even with a warrior like that on the court.

Something is not working. If you have 3 true all stars you shouldn’t be 2 games under 500 and over half your wins coming against teams that have won 1/3 or less of their games. Imagine our record if we hadn’t played the Jazz 3 times!

 

[MizzouKing]

For all the accolades showered on Fox to coax him into evolution as a leader, Domas is easily the most valuable player on the team. Watching him willingly take a sideseat role and elevate Fox only bolstered my opinion of the guy. He has skill, grit, drive, discipline, and emotional maturity.

The summary of the mini interview is...

1. He was shocked MB was fired, the players found out before boarding the plane to LA
2. He doesn't intend to film another documentary about his life, it was quite exhausting having cameras all around him for "Starting 5"
3. He will play for Lithuania in the upcoming Eurobasket next summer

 

[Tetsujin]

Bumped because wow

[Jdbraver137]

28 rebound! 28! My gawd!

 

[PacMan]

Really like how he has much less hesitation on taking the 3. Really open up the floor

Totally. It looks way different than last year. The timing, And also his verticality on the shot is much better. It looks like a real three point shot, as opposed to a big man's mid range shot extended. You can tell he put in work this offseason on that. I feel it will only get better from here. Incredible weapon.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

The three point shot has turned Sabonis into a legit star teams will start respecting it more and his game is gonna take another leap

 

[New Era]

He's now up to 44.4% on 3's! Only 2.4 attempts per game though. Would love to get that in the 3-4 range.

Yup! 44% is too high he needs to shoot more

 

[ockingsfan]

Move over Brook Lopez, Domas Sabonis is going to become the new face of the modern day “stretch 5”

 

[LoungeLizard]

He's now up to 44.4% on 3's! Only 2.4 attempts per game though. Would love to get that in the 3-4 range.

If I remember correctly @sactowndog wanted him in the 5-7 range, which isn’t looking as crazy as it once did.
