[Game] Kings at Nuggets - Sunday, Dec. 29 - 5PT/8ET

[SLAB]

I stand by and refuse to back off my hot take that Giles is the most naturally gifted player on the Kings roster.

This is the game thread. Bagley is injured and not playing in this game. The Bagley-bashing in this thread stops now.

how we losing games:

1. we cannot defend even a chair
2. every 3rd or 4th possession we have to do something stupid (TO, bad pass, fast-break 3pt shot)
3. add some missed free throws

Hey look! Giles is playing and playing pretty good. I hope he keeps it up and the Kings win. I don’t even have to trash anyone on my own team to root for them. It’s great!

Barnes frustrates me

Rule #1 around here has always been "Don't be a jerk!" If you cannot follow that rule, we mods are going to help you. If we feel you are guilty of "thread pollution" your posts will be deleted and you will be banned from that particular thread. Enough is enough...and we're all tired of it.

His shot has escaped him.....wondering if he’s just tired or needs a day off

Yeah he does look a little weary. Maybe that's why he's hesitating to shoot the three because his legs arent firing well. Hopefully it's not his 3-1 warriors collapse ghost still haunting him

Don't forget ... they flew in to Denver late last night. Playing at elevation takes a toll on some players more than others.

Holy smokes posts are disappearing faster than our playoff hopes

On the other hand, we could be tied for the 7th draft spot tonight, but I'm not sure whether the basketball gods want to give us something that nice.

Dude...don't even start.

Just a counter-jinxing attempt, sorry!

we're the Kings, remember? counter jinxes don't work...

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Buddy is dishing it out tonight, 6 assists already! His career high is 7 (5 times).

 

[kingsboi]

I don't think there is a single game since his draft night that I haven't seen Giles with ice packs on his knees on the bench

O/T - Why does Winco sell big bags of popcorn that are both caramel and cheddar cheese MIXED together?

Kings can do much better than 7th. They should strive for top 5 by seasons end.

Bjelly is my favorite player on this team, I bet that dude would be a good hang

 

[dude12]

I just wish we would increase our pace and get some easy baskets, put pressure on the other team. Granted this being 2nd night of b2b AND in Denver, it makes sense not to run but we get beat in the HC game

Buddy just went 1 on 4

 

[kingsboi]

Buddy going 3 on 1 is always a recipe for a bucket

Chicago mix. Surprisingly good.

 

[chief bromden]

Lol that was almost horrifyingly amazing

Actually, provided you like both types, a handful of mixed cheese/caramel corn is tasty.

Ewwwwwwwwwww.

Forgot there was a game, just checked the score. Looks like Buddy is up to his usual brick antics. Nice to see Harry get into a game though. Fox seems to be playing well.
