Well, Dallas definitely did look like they were on a back to back in the second half…but even in the first, Dallas wasn’t as impressive as I was expecting.
I was especially expecting more from Williams and Lively. Grant Williams might have Carl Landry syndrome. An impactful reserve who you expect to reach another level in starter minutes…but, really more of the same. Lively looked soft. Almost Willie-Esque.
They will be a playoff team though.
Now to the good guys
Kings got the balance they needed. The San Antonio game wasn’t going to do it.
Domas was amazing. 32 points on 15 shots. Destroyed all they thew at him. Just an excellent stretch for him on this streak. He likes the athletic centers that seem to get high marks defensively. He muscles and finesses them to death. He’s even eaten against guys like Lopez and Gobert.
Oddly, Guys of similar size and athleticism seem to matchup better with Domas. especially if they get away with hacking(!!) like a certain someone.
Another star performance from Fox. If the three ball is here to stay the Kings may become one of the elite this season. He still isn’t getting any love from the refs though…wait until that comes.
Duarte was excellent on both ends. Defensively, rebounding, hitting threes, and made some nice plays off penetration as well.
Keegan put together a strong offensive game. We need double figures whether the three ball is dropping or not. He’s a plus player regardless this season so the leap has been quite significant.
HB was ok. Was bricking threes but he kind of got the Kings in the rhythm in the second quarter and then put the game on ice.
Monk hit some daggers. Low key game play making wise but he knocked the wind out of the Mavs last gasp.
Javale was really solid in the second half. Tried to do too much in the first but settled down.
Sasha got all his points in garbage time but Dallas was respecting his threat and his kick out to Keegan to end the third was beautiful. I still want him to play more minutes.
Keon solid. Hopefully he doesn’t miss any time.
Davion struggled offensively again but I did see him come right in and D up Kyrie when the game was still in reach. He might get minutes tomorrow since even if it’s nothing serious for Keon, they might sit him anyway. Though if I’m Keon, I’m refusing to sit if I can walk since maybe one good Davion performance puts him back. We’ll see
Kings have already clinched what I would say is an “OK” road trip considering the level of competition. 4-2 was my mark for good. Time to get greedy. Not sure what to expect from the Pelicans.

Been saying this since I saw Sashas game. HB is only getting older, at this point a bench role would be perfect for him.
Wow, love the way the Kings slammed the door on the Mavs. Sabonas was amazing finishing with his off hand multiple times on strong moves to the basket. Fox raining 3s.
Have to give Coach Brown and his team credit for getting back on track quickly after the Houston debacle x2. Put that in the rear view mirror

I thought we fired that guy before the last all star break?

Only 13-15 for 32 points along with 13 rebounds. Dominant game from Domantas.

And the only two he missed were from three.
Yeah but he didn't get a triple double so he sucks.

I'm seeing an entirely different level from this team this year. Fox is taking his game from very good to outstanding. He's doing all the things that coaches want from a great player. Sabonis is being more aggressive on the offensive end. Murray is better with his defense (I'd really like to know what his opponent's shooting percentage is when he's defending them - 30%? 25%? If he keeps this up, you can put him on the All Defense team. The bench has been great. Even HB, who has his off moments has come up with some timely steals of late. As a basketball fan, I'm pretty darned critical, but this some impressive stuff.

I didn’t even realize for a minute that it was him?!? Minus the goggles and the hair!

Well that’s pretty idiotic. That’s such a high number thats it’s pretty idiotic to ask that of any offense to do that consistently. Dante Exum to the rescue? (Dude got old and fat)

This game might give Mike Brown something to think about starting Duarte over Huerter (which I recommended before the season start). His defense and hustling is tremendous. Would the Kings be better with Huerter as defender? I doubt it. But since there is no drop off in scoring per 1st quarter...Huerter's offense may not have matter and the defense prove crucial in stopping Dallas' offense prowess.
This is a great win for the Kings against a quality team. But once again, I am not impressed with Barnes defense. He's just undersized and lack any resistant is a problem. Sure, he made a great steal at the end and made a huge 3 but it was after many missed attempts.
Barnes + Mitchell for Lavine, let's go!!!

That's about the only one or two things he did great tonight lol (the other being making a crucial 3 after many missed attempts). He sucks at guarding one on one...no resistant as usual....taking terrible angle as a defender. Overall, I am not impressed.

It's not his defense as much as his ineffective offense.
Coach of the year level analysis.
The story when we played them in the state semifinal was that he had a 3 digit SAT score. His math still stinks.
Hell no. If twelve games has been enough to convince you that Duarte has earned the starting job over Huerter, then you trade Huerter while he still has value. You don't demote a career starter to the bench while he's still contributing to wins, especially when it appears as though he had played himself out of a slump.
Nice win, but the Mavericks 'tripped and fell' shooting a total brickhouse late in the 3rd in the 4th. The Kings may have still win even if Dallas shoots better, but it would've been closer. Close game for 3 quarters. Sometimes it happens - nice job Kings taking care of a win. Duarte playing well too - encouraging.
The Mavs were held in the first half of the game by the officials. Can only bail them out for so long.
Yeah, there were soome poor calls, but the Kigns were up most of the game - they have a noticily better bench than the Mavericks .
Yeah Lyles will provide additional front line depth - needed. Team can play then 12 players legitimately. Brown is very keen to do that too - next man up.

Im trying to think what our players would do if they went to a club in Nawleans
Fox- Dance, head home early for video games
Sabonis-post game nap
Keegan-order chicken and rice from Halal guys
Barnes- check in on his investment portfolio
Kvon- say he can't dance tonight because of the injured finger
Monk- actually dance
Sasha- espresso and cigarettes
Duarte- dance for sure
Davion- wear his game jersey and dribble in the corner

Domas tied the record for 5th all time for 2pt FGs attempted without a miss with 13.

This was a historic performance for him, but didn't even garner a mention because the overall win was just so impressive.
