Justin James has enough energy to run my house, my neighborhood and most of the north state. LOVE IT!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Just got home from earning my bread. Looks like I might have to take some VERY LATE nights at work once the Kings come home.

 

[VF21]

WTG, Luke.

KYLE GUY ... next all-star for the Kings.

Love his heart. Love his hustle.

 

[dude12]

You are witness to Kyle Guy’s first hoop

You need to watch all this game. It will make you feel good.

 

[SLAB]

Did you see Giles’ reaction Guy’s shot? Not only is he absurdly talented, I legit think HE could be/should be the emotional leader of this team.

Holy moly

Also, love what I’m hearing about Fox. Our best player by far

Giving up 81 > Giving up 121

6 man Buddy = Good Buddy = Kings win. How about ripping 10 straight wins n making me eat some crow?

 

[Kingster]

I thought Bazemore was huge in this game. He frustrated the hell out of Lavine. Good win. Bottle it and drink it against Minni.

 

[VF21]

Love what Buddy is saying after the game. Even more so? Love, love, love that he snagged the ball to give to Kyle. That's Kings basketball, baby.

As deodorants go, winning ain't bad.

I’ll give credit to Walton for trying something different in the lineup and then yanking Fox and Bogi in the 3rd Q start

Yes, PLEASE

 

[gunks]

I'd be shocked if Buddy gets moved to the bench. He gets paid too much. Not to mention "new" Buddy would probably squawk about it to the media.

Not that I'd disagree with the move myself.

Well... this take didn't age well!

 

[Kingster]

Everybody was more aggressive tonight. Even Walton was more aggressive, making the change in the starting lineup, calling early time outs, making wholesale changes during the game. It was nice to see. It was also a very nice gesture of Hield to grab the ball for Kyle Guy after Guy scored his first two points in an NBA game.

It’s amazing how much better a team plays, and more engaged, when it’s a meritocracy and not agenda driven. That’s the Heat’s whole secret sauce: merit.

Anyway, next big hurdle...Bagley comes off the bench when healthy.

 

[jcassio]

Think anyone is lining up for Dedmon yet? Lol

I cannot believe how bad Dedmon looks. Somebody stole his mojo.

He stole it from himself. He can play hard when he decides too

Pretty sad to see someone pout to the point where they ruin their own trade value

 

[Groovygreg]

Overall, a very solid performance on both ends of the floor by this Kings team. Buddy played very well and there were solid contributions from just about every Sacramento player that saw minutes. Great team win!

 

[Heuge]

Wins are better then losses!

 

[Folsomkingsfan]

Very impressed with Buddy. I didn’t think he’d handle the move well. He is such a phenomenal fit as the 6th man. Good for him.

I think this is where we all saw him and not as a starter or second option

Obviously a discussion for a different thread.

It will be interesting to see what Walton does on that.

Tonight was a great thing to watch. Not only did we win, but seeing how the team cheered for each other was great. You can see how close they are. I don’t care if it was against the bulls, winning cures a lot.
Shout out to buddy for playing a good game off the bench. Also stealing the ball for guy was a great thing to see and shows what a good person he is (as long as he doesn’t speak to the media )

 

[jellyfish]

The passing from Giles/Bjelica was amazing, very solid team effort.

Harry plays a lot like a poor man's David West with better passing but worse at everything else.

 

[krylia sovetov]

Bagley - Marvin the Martian
Ferrell - Yogi Bear
Fox - Bouncing fox
Bjelica - Tasmanian Devil
Bogs - ?
Giles - ?

Any thoughts?

nah, bjelica is too calm to be tasmanian devil... his mind is totally opposite

 

[Cojc]

It was a real treat to be able to watch the game last night.

It was also nice to see our rookie score his first points in the NBA. I hope since he is with the team he gets some minutes again soon.
