Apparently all we needed to do to get good Richaun back was start him.

I'd let him shoot more. The dude is a good shooter. Don't care what his shot looks like

 

[Folsomkingsfan]

Holmes deserves a standing ovation next home game

 

[dude12]

A hell of a win

Drink up those Lakers fans tears

 

[KainLear]

Stu on Richaun Holmes shooting form:
"not a form you would teach..."
"... but the result is what matters..."

Nice listening to the LA broadcast, for once.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Light that beam!

 

[Tetsujin]

Loud Light the Beam chants in the Lakers home court has gotta be a new low for the Lakers, right?

 

[TaxMan]

That is a win I did not expect

 

[iowamcnabb]

What a win!

 

[Sluggah]

Alright, now let’s never lose again.

 

[SacTownKid]

Dallas Barnes was sort of bad though. There has to be a happy medium somewhere where he can be mega-efficient shooter/scorer Barnes and the Barnes that knows when it's time to go get a bucket and get to the FT line

Yeah, but Dallas Barnes wasn't really that bad, he just isn't a superstar. However it's clear the Kings need another top option offensively and the results have been clear already as to how needed it was. Barnes is a little like Domas where he doesn't take bad shots. Superstars have to have no conscience. Barnes was never going to munch enough shots even if he needed to to get there and that's what Dallas thought they would get. As a 3rd option? Lets hope that's all the Kings need this year.

Man, so good to see Richaun play well. That has to feel great after all he's gone through the last year. We get smoked without him

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Woooo lets go

 

[kingsboi]

very impressed with Richaun. Guy has been in the doghouse, getting minimum playing time and as a true pro, still contributes regardless.

 

[TaxMan]

By the way…. How the hell did monk go 1-9 in 10 minutes of play? Sheesh

 

[SacTownKid]

Holmes deserves a standing ovation next home game

I'll settle for all the pick and roll he can eat off the bench? lol.

 

[Tetsujin]

And with that win, the Kings are inexplicably in third place in the western conference!

Richaun “Domas Sabonis” Holmes

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Happy for Holmes. He's had an awful season, but he stepped up big tonight.

Meanwhile, I don't believe in stuff like karma but, if I did, I'd have to think that Fox secured himself a coach's selection tonight.

 

[KainLear]

Loud Light the Beam chants in the Lakers home court has gotta be a new low for the Lakers, right?

Especially with future HoFers like King James and Beastbrook in attendance...

 

[dude12]

Holmes going to get a lot of love in the locker room after his interview

 

[iowamcnabb]

Game ball is shared by Fox and Holmes. Honorable mention to Shooter Roll who tallied 10 points on 4 for 4 from the field.

 

[Tetsujin]

Richaun “Domas Sabonis” Holmes

Richauntas Holmonis!

 

[PorchSurfin]

I hate the laker.

 

[SacTownKid]

Holmes going to get a lot of love in the locker room after his interview

And lets hope Monte gets a little messaging on the other end of the phone calls tonight, hahaha. I'm still not totally unsold on this being another case of Monteball showcasing.

Absolutely elated for Holmes. I hope he makes it back in our rotation, if not, I hope we can find a home for him elsewhere.

Fox>Lillard for the AS game

LIGHT THE BEAM chants in Staples making me shed a tear man

Watching Lakers fans leave crypto scam dot com about to take an L with Light the Beam chants in the background is even more enjoyable than the pest control taking place at G1C this season. Gotta love it.

btw, were they chanting MVP at Bron when he shot free throws just moments before they started walking out? LA fans man.

 

[kingsboi]

Happy for Holmes. He's had an awful season, but he stepped up big tonight.

Meanwhile, I don't believe in stuff like karma but, if I did, I'd have to think that Fox secured himself a coach's selection tonight.

not yet. it's going to be between he and Shai and that just happens to be the next opponent

Which might actually be a huge deal. Hopefully not but very nice to have that one in the bag.

 

[Tetsujin]

I don't think Monte intentionally gave half the team the flu but this game was very fortunate from a trade value perspective.
