Happy for the win. As I mentioned above, we may only have DeRozan for 1 year due to his age, but it looks like he plans to really make this year(if it is his last) special. Hopefully we can get another player of his caliber next season.

Say what? Dude signed for 3 years and I don’t think he has any intention of hanging it up.

When Domas went out it was actually a benefit. The Kings doubling that pick and roll with Domas was a disaster all night long.

I'm going to use the dreaded "+/-" here, but I think it shows a pretty interesting point with Lyles, primarily playing the 5 tonight. In 19 minutes, the team was +7, despite him being absolutely atrocious shooting the ball going 1-7 overall. Matches the eye test pretty well where the Lyles minutes felt very strong overall, especially on the defensive end.

And unlike the previous 4 games, the team didn't crumble when Domas left the floor. Like you said, the Lyles set probably just worked better tonight

I am a little disappointed that Keegan and Huerter are tossing up bricks on their three-pointers.

I can't be mad at Murray going 1-for-6 from three when he went 5-for-6 from everywhere else, and rebounded and played good defense.

I know that LeBron is the oldest NBA player currently at age 39. But I'm not sure how many others are 36 to 38 years old. Deebo is 35 currently.

DDR is like getting the 1 great HB game out of every 10 every night

Keep taking out the trash tomorrow

High Flyer is approaching @SLAB mode in the post-game.

I think they mentioned Wizards Jordan apparently being an influence to DeRozan a few games ago. That's essentially exactly who he plays like and that is the definition of an "old man" game. He's not Jordan obviously but as DeRozan starts ticking down that's when hopefully a young player fills in the void. If he is old Jordan there won't be much of a void until he's 40 something though haha.

 

[Insomniacal Fan]

Our minutes without Domas are our weak point

I'm curious to what give you that impression.

Derozan is 35 years old. Active players who are over 35 includes LeBron James, Chris Paul, Kyle Lowry, Al Horford, Mike Conley, Joe Ingles, Steph Curry, Brook Lopez and KD, just to name the ones who play regular minutes.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I think DDR for sure plays out the next 2 seasons that are guaranteed and then depending on where we are as a team after that, will determine if he'll stick around for the final 3rd year.

You've really gone out on a limb with this opinion.

Hmmmmm I thought we got DeRozan for 3 years and I’m not sure why you feel we might have him for maybe another year?? I totally don’t agree with “due to his age”…. But happy for the win

 

[SLAB]

80-2 it shall be!!!

 

[Double-K]

80-2 it shall be!!!

I told ya. We might never lose again.

 

[NewArena]

Light it!! Man, it feels so good to have players you can rely on. This big 3 of ours feels like a seamless fit to me.

 

[funkykingston]

From Atlanta to Toronto on a B2B? Who planned this garbage? lol.

The Raptors are on a 4 game losing streak and are 1-5 overall. Scottie Barnes is also out for a few weeks after he suffered a fractured orbital on Monday battling Joker for a rebound. They've been competitive in most of their games, but even on a back-to-back, the Kings should win this one.

 

[funkykingston]

Even more encouraging is that the Kings still have a lot of things to clean up and guys like Huerter, Keegan, and Lyles should start shooting better from outside.

 

[joemama]

Would liked to have seen more Ellis tonight.
He was great defensively last game and was shooting and passing well tonight (when he played).

 

[HndsmCelt]

Fun game! What an exciting team this season! Now they need to work on defense/holding leads.

Sounds like a trap to me

More guys might want to look into implementing some of this "old" style

 

[iowamcnabb]

Didn’t get to to concentrate on the game because of work but one more corner three from Mathews and I was going to throw my tv into the wood oven.

 

[sono]

My prediction was surprisingly close. . .

Almost.. forgot Deebo effect.

 

[The_Jamal]

Also, who the hell has it in for the Kings on the schedule maker team? Sac to ATL for a B-B up to Toronto? The hell?

I'll take it over a B2B in Miami. At least they're playing a bad team so they'll have a shot.

 

[reptilexcq2]

There's no reason to play Huerter in crunch time...man he's a hit and miss...never consistent...missing point blank drop shot and then a failed drive layup. It's better to have Keon out there.

Kevin had a key steal late in the game. Played the passing lane beautifully. It was immediately after he assisted on Fox’s corner 3 with about 3 minutes left in the game. Yeah he missed that gimme reverse layup but he did some nice things down the stretch

Al Horford, CP3, Russ, Kyle Lowry, Joe Ingles

For some reason, we'd lose even badly to lottery teams when their rosters were depleted by injuries last season. Today was close, if the match was the previous season most likely we'd lose.

The Kings kick off November with a road game against a banged up Atlanta team.

The Hawks won their first two games only to drop their next three, including a pair (home and away) to the Wizards.

I'm sure they are looking to right the ship, but I don't think it happens tonight. 122-115 Kings

Wow. 123-115 almost got the score right!
