[Game] Kings at Knicks, 1/31/2022, 7:30pm ET/4:30pm PT

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Only down 13! we're in this!

I mean, it is the Knicks we're talking about...

 

[SacTownKid]

MY goodness, 41 points.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

MY goodness, 41 points.

Hey, we could easily get that back in a quarter if we were defending ourselves!

 

[gunks]

I wonder what Barnes' trade value is these days

 

[SacTownKid]

Harkless did a fantastic job a few sequences ago on Randle who just Shaq'd him right out of the way, then the refs call that offensive foul on the Kings. No, just no.

 

[Tetsujin]

Moe playing with a defensive intensity that should convince Thibs that he should trade for him and play him thirty minutes a night instead of RJ or Cam Reddish.

 

[Tetsujin]

Absolutely wild to me that ESPN's two top NBA announcers are having to call this bad Knicks-Kings game while Bob Fitzgerald gets to call the Warriors every night.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kemba Walker is a traffic cone nowadays.

 

[KainLear]

Metu should've drove in at least get a foul...

 

[KainLear]

Neemi sighting when?

 

[kb02]

RJ Barrett gives me Harrison Barnes vibes. Very average.

 

[KainLear]

Games lost. Just play the kids.

 

[SacTownKid]

Kemba Walker is a traffic cone nowadays.

He has a distinct Buddy vibe. Sleepwalking through most of the game, wondering if he can go elsewhere yet, haha.

 

[SLAB]

We rock.

Only thing missing is the kids. Just play the kids, Alvin, there is literally zero job security for you at this point anyway.

Warriors and Lakers have some of the worst announcers I’ve ever heard

I just hopped on espn.com to check the score. Yeah, the Kings are down 18 to the Knicks going into the 4th, but the Pacers beat the Clippers so the Kings are firmly in the 5th draft slot for the moment.

It's been so long since the Kings made the playoff I have a hard time remembering what it was like when I didn't start rooting for more ping pong balls around the all-star break.

I will say though, at least Gentry doesn't Luke it up and put them in at like 35 seconds left in a blowout loss. He gives them some minutes usually at the end.

Just joined the telecast…..looked at the box score and I see Hield, Holmes, Barnes, Harkless all, how do I put this, suck.

So how angry do we get when Monte trades it at the deadline? Anyone? Anyone? lol.

Welcome. To tell you the truth, the Knicks are a mess as well. Just not as talent-less as we are at the moment.

Depends on what they trade that pick for and the protections on it lol.

Well Luke wasn't "interim", thus he really had a job to keep. Although honestly, neither seems like they care about rookie development so...

Can we just give all of Buddy’s minutes to Jahmius? Let the kid play his minutes for 20 straight games. See what we got. Plus we don’t have to watch Buddy anymore

I'd give all of Buddy's minute to anyone not named "Hield". If he wanna go around the states campaigning for a trade, he better be lighting it up. With his performance, I'd send him home early.

 

[KainLear]

Speaking of, why is last season's sensational rookie Quickley only got 9 mins? I thought he'd be the starting PG ahead of Rose and Walker by this point of his 2nd year.

Tom Thibodeau.

 

[Tetsujin]

Have we gotten to the root of how Richaun seems to have forgotten how to play basketball over the last couple of months?

I can't believe the Lakers still want the goofball.

I'm so ready to move on from Buddy and Barnes. Just a brutal combo of dumb and soft from this team's vets.
