[Game] Kings @ Hawks 11/1/2024 4:30pm Pacific 7:30pm Eastern

[Sluggah]

Keegan says nope.

 

[Spike]

Good defense to close it out.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

They don't win this game with Barnes instead of DeRozan.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kayte trying to get Kyle in trouble lol

 

[TaxMan]

By far the best game of the year for fox.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Scorekeepers at SFA got G-Man questioning his mental acuity.

 

[The_Jamal]

I don't know if anyone remembers, but Keegan at the 4, Lyles at the 5 was the combo we went to for game 6 vs the Warriors 2 years back. It won us that game, on the defensive end.

We're seeing that again here, except Keegan is 3x the defender he was that season. Just needs to be our combo when Domas goes to the bench.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Keegan says nope.

I can imagine him saying it exactly like that. Or just a perfunctory, "No."

 

[Tetsujin]

LTB CHANTS IN ATLANTA LFG

 

[hrdboild]

Please let this game end already. I can't handle anymore whistles.

 

[coolhandluke]

Light the Beam!

 

[Hoovtrain]

Thank god

 

[TaxMan]

Good game. 3-2, could easily be 4-1. Take care of business in CA

 

[Tetsujin]

De’Aaron been talking to Trae for like five minutes

 

[funkykingston]

My prediction was surprisingly close. . .

 

[LoungeLizard]

Light the Beam baby!

I feel like this is a game we blow last year. The guys are learning and Deebo helps with that of course.

 

[Double-K]

This is why we brought DeRozan to Sacramento.

 

[dude12]

Solid, solid win on the road.
i think we are going to be saying this a lot…..“Deebo is going to help us keep those crunch time leads”

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

My prediction was surprisingly close. . .

Man, you'd have to be nauseated if you'd put money on that.

 

[SacTownKid]

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

 

[Insomniacal Fan]

That was closer than I think it ought to have been.

 

[Bfreeman]

Nice win steady effort on defense against a sub-par opponent but still. If they win all their bunnies they have a shot.

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

NBA schedule makers hate us.

Last year‘s team would have lost this game. The clutch duo of DeRozan and Fox really make a difference. I am a little disappointed that Keegan and Huerter are tossing up bricks on their three-pointers. Have to find a way to defend the three better. Good win though. That’s three in a row and two on the road. Go Kings!

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

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.

 

[The_Jamal]

Road game in ATL is never easy, even if they're missing a few guys. Matthews got stupid hot (even if we did leave him wide open on a few of those), but kept punching back on their runs.

Did it without any help from the spacers either:

Keegan 1-6
Huerter 2-8
Monk 0-3
Lyles 1-6

Total: 4-23

How many games last year do we win when the shooting was this poor?

Ultimately, just matters to stack these games into the W column so we don't have to look back at the end of the season and wonder "Well if we didn't throw away that game vs ATL where they had a few guys out..."

 

[Jc121]

WOW!! We might be needing some size up front but I believe we have a bright future and that’s the way to put them away.

 

[The_Jamal]

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.

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.

I think Demar will age like fine wine, got the smooth play
