[Game] Kings @ Bulls, Monday, Dec. 10 - 5PT/8ET

[VF21]

POINT GOD DE'AARON THOR FOX!

VF21's post of the night.

 

[Tetsujin]

our December schedule is rough rough rough, let's see how we do, basically every game against teams in the WC playoff race

But we have an advantage over all those other teams:
We've got De'Aaron Fox.

 

[Gary]

The first half was so disappointing
The second half was so exhilarating
Winning > Losing

I told my dad that "you watch.. In the second or third quarter the Kings will comeback with some massive run and win by 20".. Got half of it right, and was within 1 point of a 20 point win!

 

[The_Jamal]

Can't ask for much better than 4-1 to start the month. We have some tough games coming up, but we're getting an awesome home schedule in about a week.

Up to 4-0 against the bottom feeder teams (Suns,Bulls,Cavs,Hawks). That's huge growth for us; actually being a better team/more talented and coming away with the win.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Glad they cleaned up some things in the 2nd half. Night and day

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

I'm assuming it was either Shump or Giles.

It has to be Shump.

Oh boy who would a thought that few months ago, Shumpert might help this team and play pretty big role in our early success..

I really might want to get him back in the offseason.

I mean, to be fair, EVERY team in the western conference is the the playoff race outside of the Suns. So can't really use that as an excuse for playing bad if we want to be a playoff team.

The next step is learning to get back to what works during the tough stretches. When the Kings run quick, simple action they seem to find that rhythm. Tonight Fox put on the jet pack but I liked what Fox said after the game. He's trying to let the others know he'll find them for easy looks that they don't have to be moving on. The Kings have a bad habit of working way too hard to get a shot. Most of the time it just isn't necessary. Get the ball in the hands of one of Fox, Buddy, and Bogdan and let them do their thing.

 

[Gary]

Why aren't we using Randolph? We can't run and gun 100% of the time, and I think he could help our rebounding woes, and he's a good scorer..

 

[kingsboi]

Last season our 14th win came from our 47th game. This season, our 26th.

so if this trend continues, the Kings should have a 20 win turnaround compared to last

if they want to make the Playoffs in the rowdy West, they need to show they belong against these teams. Adversity + confidence = success

 

[NewArena]

Hey, folks! THIS is what superstar players do on the road when you think you’re in trouble. Completely gut and demoralize the other squad and their fans.

Holy crap

 

[New Era]

Why aren't we using Randolph? We can't run and gun 100% of the time, and I think he could help our rebounding woes, and he's a good scorer..

There is a 0% chance of him ever putting on a Kings jersey again

I think Vlade might have had a clue.

Yeah, um no. No. NO! Z-Bo is the past. He WAS a good scorer. We need our current bigs to learn to rebound. Z-Bo brings nothing to this current verrsion of the Kings - except an expiring contract.

 

[Kingster]

Fox said in the post game that Shumpert has been huge for this team with his leadership, swag, and defense. He really had great things to say about him.

Saw the ticker at 40-50 Bulls, so was pleasantly surprised by the outcome even if it was the Bulls who are sucking. These are "low-hanging-fruit" and will hopefully add up to the quest of making it to 41 wins.

It wasn't the Bulls sucking though. It was De'Aaron flipping the superstar switch and willing the team to a blowout victory.

 

[NewArena]

I watched on DVR and skimmed through without seeing the final score beforehand. My God, did they make me nervous at first. We absolutely lose this kind of game last season. 9 times outta 10

 

[Suicide King]

I certainly hope so. Even a 10 win increase season to season should be commended. Better than that, well that would be just swell with me.

That's good to hear; now I wanna see it against the Warriors or Lakers in the future.

Double like!

He already showed it against the Lakers. Unfortunately, no other King showed up to play in that game.

Oh, we all want that my friend!

 

[sactowndog]

From this point on anyone who posts negatively bout Fox is getting instantly put on my ignore list, so goodbye to those select few.

What exactly would they post negatively about?

Even his interviews have changed. Last year he talked about having the ball in his hands to take the last shot. After this game he talked about finding his teammates in their best/easy spots to shoot. He’s taking pride in running the offense in the half court. Damm this kid has matured a ton. His parents must be proud.

 

[Kingz19]

Well, he did break a teammate's face that one time. ...

Lol...that’s right. Forgot all about that

Think ZBO is probably having a good impact off the court, but one big reason our play has improved is we aren't running the worst defensive player by a wide margin in basketball out on the floor for 25 minutes a night. And more or less a blackhole on offense that sucks an insane amount of USG. AND a guy who's the exact antithesis of every single one of our good players.

 

[sactowndog]

Oh, we all want that my friend!

Sadly 3 out of 4 of our Lakers games seem to be the 2nd night of a B2B.

Dislike.
Sorry can't like that post, although be it true.

Crappy night to fall asleep at halftime
