[Game] Kings @ Lakers 1/18/2023 7:30pm Pacific 10:30pm Eastern

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Westbrook has been our best player tonight behind Fox.

Same note, too, bro! (s/o Cinephobe)

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Russ Westbrook the best King on the floor tonight.

Ménage à note!

I get why the restricted circle exists, but it's still dumb when LeBron can just bowl over Lyles and the foul is ON Lyles

 

[Tetsujin]

Red Velvet time

 

[Tetsujin]

Richaun has honestly not been terrible tonight.

My reaction to this play was to admire LeBron's bald spot as he took his free throws. I'm petty AF.

 

[Tetsujin]

Lakers playing two point guards against this Kings lineup is something we can exploit constantly. Aside from Fox, every King on the floor is 6'7" or above.

Richaun has honestly not been terrible tonight.

Yeah he's switching way better than he has been all season. That's what made him an elite defender in the past

3* Bev, Shroeder and Russ

 

[Tetsujin]

Probably didn't need that Russ close-up but whatever

 

[SacTownKid]

Barnes reverting back to his Dallas form is going to be a better and better thing for this team as it goes forward.

 

[The_Jamal]

I mean I think we're figuring out the plan here. With no AD in the game, the Lakers have negative rim protection. And no one has a prayer of staying in front of Fox. Attack, Attack, Attack

 

[pdxKingsFan]

One of my favorite parts about playing NBA 2k23 is when you play/use Russ they make a quote about how Russ says he has no intention to change his game despite getting older. And it makes me smile everytime, like when he chucks up poor shots tonight.

 

[Spike]

There we go.

Barnes has FT's every time down with all these shrimpy dudes "guarding" him

 

[Tetsujin]

Threegan!

 

[dude12]

LFG

Kings are good even without Domas and it looks like they know it too

 

[iowamcnabb]

Fox force 5

 

[LoungeLizard]

Let’s Gooooooo! Yes!

 

[Tetsujin]

Max Christie having to guard De'Aaron one on one is a big ask for him lol

 

[Sluggah]

lulz. can’t believe we turned this around.

 

[Remi]

Finally team started to show some signs of believe that they can win.

 

[captain bill]

Kings are good even without Domas and it looks like they know it too

Games like this are so huge for developing chemistry. We’re definitely gonna need bench units playing big impact minutes without Domas down the stretch and into the playoffs if we make it

 

[The_Jamal]

My big takeaway is how the F did the Lakers screw up building around LeBron so badly? This team is absolute trash outside of him

 

[Tetsujin]

If Richaun played like this every night, there would be absolutely no need to find another backup big.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Where was the trap? It was obvious that LeBron was going for DOLO by the time he got to the scorer's table.

 

[Tetsujin]

RICHAUN EUROSTEP ON LEBRON TO END THE HALF

 

[iowamcnabb]

Jr Uh oh!
