[Game] Kings @ Mavericks - Tuesday, March 26 - 5:30PT/8:30ET

[Hoovtrain]

What garbage officiating tonight

 

[kingsboi]

Fox even going in there trying to get the game winning rebound, instead of the seven footer on the roster

 

[VF21]

Nice foul. Kings will still lead by at least 2 and have the ball with 8 seconds left

 

[Tetsujin]

De'Aaron almost got that board. My lawd.

 

[NME]

Fouling there wouldn't be a bad idea even if it was on purpose.

 

[VF21]

I LOVE THIS TEAM!

GO KINGS!

 

[Tetsujin]

Sick of De'Aaron not taking over games.

I wish we had a true closer like Lonzo Ball rather than this scrub Fox.

 

[VF21]

HA! Take that, Mark Cuban!

Take that, silly Fox detractors!

It's a great night to be a Kings fan!

And so happy to see Bogs playing himself back into the guy we recognize.

 

[kingsboi]

Fox scores Kings 10 out of last 13....that ought to get it done. no Bagley down the stretch has me itching my head.

 

[NME]

That was nice. When was the last time they executed at the end in a close game like that? OKC a month ago, maybe?

 

[Tetsujin]

A true taker-over of games would have scored all 13 points.

Kings sweep the Mavs.....suck it Cuban

 

[Tetsujin]

That was nice. When was the last time they executed at the end in a close game like that? OKC a month ago, maybe?

To be fair, this is what I thought would happen if the Kings just let De'Aaron control the ball in crunch time rather than overthink things and try to split the difference with Bogi and Buddy added in.

 

[Tetsujin]

De'Aaron with such a good 4th quarter performance that Mark Cuban probably thinks he played high school in Europe.

 

[kingsboi]

A true taker-over of games would have scored all 13 points.

you're channeling your inner LeBron

 

[burekijogurt]

Be 6'8" and from Slovenia.

Fox did shoot more free throws in this game than Luka did. (12 to 11).

 

[dude12]

Harrison Barnes is such a good interview. Comes across as very down to earth and humble

 

[NME]

Fox scores Kings 10 out of last 13....that ought to get it done. no Bagley down the stretch has me itching my head.

I'm normally for Bagley getting more minutes, but despite scoring efficiently he didn't seem as in the flow of the game as usual.

 

[Tetsujin]

Fox did shoot more free throws in this game than Luka did. (12 to 11).

But to be fair, De'Aaron probably should have had at least two or three possessions worth of free throws than he did in the game. The poor dude was getting absolutely hammered the whole night.

 

[kingsboi]

Kings sweep the Mavs.....suck it Cuban

Mavs are the only West team the Kings have swept, right?

 

[burekijogurt]

But to be fair, De'Aaron probably should have had at least two or three possessions worth of free throws than he did in the game. The poor dude was getting absolutely hammered the whole night.

that is true, he most definitely gets hammered a lot with no call. not just in this game.

 

[kingsboi]

I'm normally for Bagley getting more minutes, but despite scoring efficiently he didn't seem as in the flow of the game as usual.

not really sure what you are talking about, he looked just fine to me

 

[burekijogurt]

Mavs are the only West team the Kings have swept, right?

OKC? (I know its not true, but I did have to think about it)

 

[Tetsujin]

I'm normally for Bagley getting more minutes, but despite scoring efficiently he didn't seem as in the flow of the game as usual.

Yeah, I feel weird saying that a guy who scored 14 points on 7 shots had a bad night but Bagley seemed off.

 

[kingsboi]

OKC? (I know its not true, but I did have to think about it)

Mavs may be the only one

 

[NewArena]

Fox did this to Luka and the gang the last time we were in Dallas

 

[Agent23]

A true taker-over of games would have scored all 13 points.

He would have put his imprint on this game if he did so!

 

[VF21]

That was nice. When was the last time they executed at the end in a close game like that? OKC a month ago, maybe?

Remember when dmc would get 20/12 and we considered that an off night? Maybe it just shows how great bags is/can be.

At some point last year, when this board was all gloom and doom, I had said that I think the Kings will be much improved this year, and win at least 37 games.

Sadly, I got swept in by the overall sentiment, and didn't stick to my "prediction". However, even the optimistic version of me will concede that the team has played well above my expectations, and instead of a 10 game improvement over last season, we could even have something around 15 (HUGE).

While it will be sad to miss out on the playoffs, this has still been a great season. Hopefully, we'll have secured a playoff spot by this time next year.
