Favorite kind of Fox

Most important part of tonight was going from point differential -.2 to 3.2!

This was exactly what I was going to post. This blowout balances out the Pelicans blowout loss.

As for the poll: I was posting about Fox on reddit and a reddit bot that spits out animal facts chimed in to say that male foxes are called reynards and female foxes called vixens.

So I've been calling De"Aaron 'The Reynard' because he's an alpha male Fox.
 
I'm watching the Scott Van Pelt show on ESPN and during his intro, he just said the KINGS are in the A Block.

I posted this a few days ago. Looks more like they are E block or lane 5 to me ;)

A Block refers to the first segment of the program after the intro and first commercial break.
 
From the 1st game I knew something was different about this team, how they played, how they competed, how they came to work and showed some pride and effort.

Hard work pays off and it shows. Buddy has become such a reliable and explosive two way player, Dearron is becoming a leader with any selfishness and ego.

Not to mention we have some level headed vets bringing what they bring trying to fit in. Not to mention we also have some humble young talented players waiting in the wings for more minutes.

All this without Bogi, who also played with Bjelica in Euro-Ball.

This team is special and it has been a long time coming for us.
 
The better and better the Buddy hield plays the more that I have to admit that the Vivek might have been correct about him.

The stories say he wanted us to draft him very badly and that in order to trade Demarcus, Vlade thought that getting Buddy would soften the blow for Vivek. (Remember remember the stuff about having a better deal earlier?)

I am very happy that but he has proven to be a consistent 20 PPG scorer with ridiculous efficiency. I'll look it up a few moments ago and right now buddy has one of those 50 + 40 + 80 + shooting splits
 
When was the last time the Kings dropped 146 on anybody? Holy cow.
The Fox was quietly spectacular. He is pretty modest for being a phenomenal player. What is not to like?
The Kings played really well in nearly every category you can measure.
When the schedule gets tougher, which is about to happen soon there needs to be some more focus on interior defense. I believe it is their one last weakness.
 
Probably the most joy i've experienced from watching a Kings game in over 15 years.

Trae young looked like a grade schooler vs Fox
Buddy is the John Wick of basketball.
Bjelica is a basketball messiah here to save our souls.
Bagley eats second liners for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner.

I wrote off the Michael Redd comparison for Buddy....I'm writing it back in.

All Redd did was score. That dude would average stuff like 24/2/2 through a season.

Buckets could very well have a few 20/5/5 years in his future!
