[Game] Kings @ Grizzlies, 1/29/2024, 5:00p PT/8:00p ET

[Joshoua]

they're missing calls for both teams and we've seen at least one obvious make-up call. Terrible refs.

I just don’t get how literally 500 people see it and they just like oh what happened it’s a disgrace

 

[ick300]

Welll ...
Lets forget this one FAASSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTT and enjoy the W we all were waitting for
We are at 4 and running !
Lets go to Miami and contunie the run !
GO KINGSSSSS

 

[Woot!]

Reverse jinx for the win. You’re welcome

Nicely done.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Some of the worst basketball we’ve played all year.

The rare win that feels like a loss.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Empty Calories

 

[Krunker]

Embarrassing loss averted, next!

 

[sono]

Win is win is not applied to this win. The ugliest win I've seen, we don't deserve it.

 

[Kingz19]

I’ll take it but wow, that would’ve been a blowout loss on any other game on this trip

 

[ick300]

Domas - 26 boards.
Rest of the team - 25 boards.

I heard guys telling him before the game that he can not beat the whole team on rebounds tonight

 

[Capt. Factorial]

The rare win that feels like a loss.

Still going to look like a +1 in the win column in April

 

[iowamcnabb]

It felt like the ugliest win of the year but we won 3 of the 4 quarters.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Good lord that was so ugly. It is what it is. On to the next. Let’s hope the 3pt percentage balances out next game. We missed ALOT of open shots. Light it!

 

[ick300]

Win is win is not applied to this win. The ugliest win I've seen, we don't deserve it.

Nobody will rememeber it at the end of the season mate ...
Imagine you were out wit wife/girfriend on a nice movie night and just see the W at the end of the game
That is the imporatant thing at the end of the day

 

[Woot!]

Well, this was the ugliest win in extended memory.

Yep. Would have been a way uglier loss, tho.

 

[LoungeLizard]

It felt like the ugliest win of the year but we won 3 of the 4 quarters.

If you look at it like that….. great win!

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I'm taking the ugly win and not looking back. Especially because we had to earn it in the final minutes rather than watch a 20 point lead become a free throw contest in the final 2 minutes like the majority of the last 8 games.

 

[Remi]

Kings sucked badly on passing, on 3 pt shooting and made huge amount of turnovers, but even an ugly win is a win and I will take that anytime.
Game hero - Sabonis with monster performance 20/26/5

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Still going to look like a +1 in the win column in April

Indeed.

 

[Kingster]

How easy was that?

Congrats to Sabonis on 26 rebounds. He is freaking awesome.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Another silver lining: we held them under 100 points

 

[See_Hanks]

We're on track to win 49.2 games.. Let's get it above 50 and make sure we won't have to play in the "play-in" tourney.

 

[gunks]

Kinda a reverse of those games where we play great for 40 minutes then **** the bed.

Also, Domas is good.

 

[upinsmoke]

Watched game with no volume, why didn't Murray get more burn?

 

[captain bill]

Not the most exciting win of the season but a necessary one. Now on our second-longest win streak, a solid bounceback to start the second half

 

[twslam07]

Why is McGee getting any minutes over Len at this point?

 

[NewArena]

Hey, we figured they'd be a bit bored tonight, so i'll take it. Light the BEAM!!

 

[NewArena]

Unexpectedly this could be a tough game. You have a bunch of guys fighting for a spot in the NBA. Naturally they will play super hard and they will be unpredictable.

You were right. Plus, i doubt the scouting report is super accurate on a bunch of unknown guys. These games can be tough and i think the Griz had won 3 of 4 before before we beat em tonight

The rare win that feels like a loss.

The Kings have done a great job at making a lot of wins feel like losses this year.

That is true but we were just playing bone headed and loose with all the bad passes and turnovers.

Early on sure we were letting amateurs shoot open 3s and they were going in but later on when we made it a contest we still failed to put our feet on the pedal until the final 5 minutes.

which to be fair, folks called out that we could basically just play the final 5 minutes and win easy.
