He was covered up well in layers
There's good A/C in Barclay's

They should focus more about being focused.
Watching the Kings play like this is annoying because, like, I know they can't play with this kind of defensive intensity every night. Not even the Celtics can do that. But I feel like it's not unreasonable to expect them to do it more often then one game out of five.

Light the beam!
Saw some good things this game despite that third quarter. Have to win out the rest of the season.

As someone who bet UNDER for Sasha's props today I am very frustrated he's not getting garbage minutes because instead of winning every bet, they'll be voided nowsmh Coach Brown
Scratch that - he's in, yes!
He peeled off the layers and got in there for you. All is well now?

So far it's working out like one would predict. Get one of the other direct competition wins and 1 win to get in is likely.

Colby with 7 4 4 3 and 2. Love his long term potential.

An unusual stroke of fortune to have (2) young combo guards like Ellis and Jones on low cost contracts. Remember that they were using Jones as a lead guard in preseason play

Colby, Keon, and Davion should be giving Monte reason to think about his G spot coming into the summer. Monte might be on the cusp of spending quite a bit less on his cap without a ton of drop off in the win column if he can shift some things. The issue is still that when any fourth guard enters the rotation, Sasha is usually the one getting pushed out.
Quick scouting report on his game today? Big line and 23 minutes

I only saw him in the second half, but like Ellis, he has quick hands and a nose for the ball on defense. On offense, no hesitation. Considering he only made 1-6 three-pointers, he might have been more circumspect.

I'm late to the party (I don't like these East coast early afternoon games on the weekends) but I consider this a win-win scenario. Either we get (at least) 1 full round of the playoffs at the end of the year or we get a late lotto pick as a cheap way to add depth to the roster as our consolation prize. In fact, when taken in those terms I hate the idea of the play-in less.
Sure that means we push back our tradeable first round picks by another year but I'm less bothered by this than some are because we're already handcuffed anyway by players not wanting to come play in Sacramento. If you look at the deals that did get made at this year's trade deadline, Monte had the assets to trade for a lot of those guys but they didn't want to come to Sacramento and it doesn't make sense to give up that much for a half season rental. I don't see this situation changing for us anytime soon.

yeh just to add to what Caccia said, he played with physicality, moved well in transition and displayed that floater we’ve seen from time to time.

Wasn't the best match of the season, this 30 point margin doesn't make much sense, amazing defense sometimes, but the offense wasn't clicking so much. Didn't know several of the Nets players and until the last 7-8 minutes I never felt comfortable enough that we would win this one. I didn't like that we took so many 3s that were clearly not open shots. At one point we were leading by 20 shooting with 38% from the floor, Nets had similar percentage but they were awful from long distance.
Liked what Colby has shown, should work on his jumper and free throws though, Fox had his ups and downs, once more he wasn't getting to the line and for sure that wasn't his fault (Mark Jones implied about this "phenomenon" throughout the season), Lyles and Sabonis were both amazing I guess since Nets don't have so competitive bigs with Claxton missing. Lyles had +37, Davion had +36 ( I am surprised nobody wrote about Fox passing the alley hoop to him, maybe he thought it's Malik), Keegan was a bit late to the party but he was a menace in defense and found his shot in 2nd half when the team stopped scoring easy buckets.
In a match that Kings won by 30, HB had a -15, is this a Guiness record or something for a starter? He had 2 points taking 4 shots, with his only basket being a dunk that he was wide open by a nice Fox-Domas passing sequence. His stats (in 11 minutes of action) were all zeros, still he will continue his amazing streak of consecutive games playing/starting in the next match. And the Nets probably don't have a bike to ride cause I saw him sitting at the bench several times, perhaps this made him play worse, who knows with this guy? At least he was all smiles when his teammates were doing good things on the floor without him there contributing.

Beams was definitely lit in Brooklyn today!!!

adjusting the life you knew for the first 28 years in one continent to another can bring challenges and new beginnings, it will be telling how he feels about being in the U.S. at the conclusion of his contract
