[Game] Kings @ Mavericks - Friday, Oct. 20 - 5:30PT

[Henkel]

After years of everything going to hell when Cousins sat it's a nice change to have a bench that can actually get us back into a game.

 

[VF21]

I REALlY wish now that the vets weren’t signed.. Fox/Mason/Skal should be starting and/or logging major minutes

And I'm even happier we signed the vets we did. They're all willing mentors who will work hard with the kids. We've had this argument lots of times before and I'll continue to argue the opposite of what you're saying. Fox, Mason and Skal will start when their ready.

 

[VF21]

Divining the boxscore (tragically, I'm at work right now).... I'd say Fox and Skal are already building some chemistry?

Fox exudes chemistry and confidence. The whole team just seems to absorb some of his energy the minute he steps on the court. I can't wait to see him with Bogs.

 

[New Era]

Oh man...I love this kid

You know how much I like DMC and defended him. I couldn't believe how nice it was the other night to sit in G1C and not be on edge about the potential for drama. The whole attitude/atmosphere is different. (And yes, I know I took your comment in a little different direction.) I just wanted to confess...

 

[Larry89]

Fox just teleported by Barea

 

[VF21]

I think they're all pretty easy pieces to move. Vlade will turn one or two of those guys into draft picks.... just wait.

Totally agree. And I think Vlade WILL do it, but not until he feels confident about the kids. This is such a luxury -it's hard to comprehend just how much potential we have sitting on our bench waiting for their turns.

 

[New Era]

Fox might have a triple double at halftime if he doesn't get subbed out

 

[Vladizzle]

Dave goes out of his way to take players out of rhythm. Now that we have Fox and some more mobility in, we are executing better.

Fox just lead a fast break through the Mavs defense all by himself.

 

[VF21]

gunks - You are gonna LOVE watching this team, especially when Fox is on the court. He truly does get you on the edge of your seat and keep you there. And, I swear, he can be in two different places at the same time.

 

[SLAB]

This is terrible.

 

[VF21]

Three-point defense (or lack thereof) is gonna kill us.

 

[VF21]

I sure hope we keep Garrett Temple for a long time.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

First NBA three for Fox!

 

[Hoovtrain]

Getting real tired of watching this team continually suck at defending the 3

 

[VF21]

And...it's amazing how fast things can turn into a nightmare. Right up until the second Fox steps behind the line and launches a 3. No hesitation, no doubt - just a nice clean shot and 3 points.

 

[VF21]

Getting real tired of watching any team in a Kings uniform continually suck at defending the 3

Fixed it for you.

I think the pressure to win at all cost with Cousins as the center piece lead to some dumb decisions by the orginization and the frustration from Cousins and the fan base became sort of toxic. I don't blame Boogie for it, but I see what you're saying and agree that it's nice to be heading in a new direction.

Talked A LOT about how fast De’Aaron Fox is but my god he’s an excellent passer. Sees floor so well & delivers some mind boggling passes

 

[VF21]

Love it. Fox has played for 11 minutes. He headed for the bench during the timeout, thinking he was going out, and Joerger said, "Oh no. You stay out there."

This is reminiscent of the first game. They get behind and then work hard to catch up. At some point, they're gonna figure out how to take that a step further and pull ahead (provided the effing refs don't take it away from them).

 

[Larry89]

Jesus has Z Bo been blocked on all but one of his shots this game

 

[Vladizzle]

Really don't want to watch Zbo isolations called for by Dave. As much of a fan I am, this starting unit I'm going to blame for the bad start.

Garrett Temple should be starting, best defender, along with Fox, best playmaker and good defender...

 

[New Era]

Jesus has Z Bo been blocked on all but one of his shots this game

He looks (and is) like an old man.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Fixed it for you.

Thanks that's what I meant. It's unreal and it's been going on forever ...no matter who is on the team

 

[Vladizzle]

What is with this rotation?? Bring in Vince at the second quarter to play the whole quarter? That can't be good on his knees

 

[VF21]

Tenacity. I'm adding it to my heart, hustle, energy and effort.

 

[VF21]

Holy crap. I love this team.

And yes, it's a damn good time to be a Kings fan.

 

[SLAB]

1.5 games in, and I don't think the Kings will be the doormat I expected them too be.
