[Game] Kings @ Spurs, 03/03/2022 5:30pm Pacific 8:30pm Eastern

[Woot!]

And they say Fox can't play defense.

Naw. They say he too often chooses not to.

I don’t think I’ve complete forgotten about a player as fast as I did with Bagley

Post of the Day

Deflated Bill Land and Sean Elliott.

You love to see it.

After them spending all game talking about the Kings not being able to catch the Spurs in the standings, the Kings are now tied with them in the win column.

EDIT: Unless Dejounte has anything to say.

Dejounte with the George Hill shoulders

 

[KainLear]

uh oh... Bill Land is screaming again...

 

[SacTownKid]

Almost pulled off the tank.

Dejounte with the George Hill shoulders

Yeah, I mean this as a compliment, but Murray reminds me of pre-ACL injury Rondo in Boston. Not just physically but with how they play. Dude absolutely fills the stat sheets.

 

[KainLear]

Best thing the Spurs commentators could've said in the last few minutes was "The Kings got some good help from former Spurs Trey Lyles."

 

[kb02]

Careful, this is dangerously close to being complimentary of Fox. You're going to ruin your rep.

Talent beats coaching.

Almost pulled off the tank.

Took Dejounte Murray hitting improbable three after improbable three but they eventually barely ran out of time.

Kayte just told that chump to talk to the hand. You love to see it.

There are few people I'd like to tick off less than a former WNBA center.

Hard to see anyone challenging him for it. Maybe Ja?

Simons is another candidate but this is Murray's to lose in my opinion

When he was down making faces at the camera I really wanted to see her turn around and smack him.

I legit thought that she was going to backhand him, that last time.

To be fair, it's hard to tell if our guys are bad at defense or if our schemes are just that bad.

Fox does have effort issues on that end though, no doubt.

Which suggests that his lack of shooting improvement might be an effort issue as well.

Not a good sign in a professional player and team leader.

He's improved as a free throw shooter this season (75%) and is shooting 32.6% from 3-pt range in the last ten games. He's not exactly Steph out there by any means but he is shooting at a competent level (for a driving guard) right now.

 

[NewArena]

Kings on an 11-2 run, but can they close it out, without Sabonis?

Is he really hurt? Smh

 

[Tetsujin]

Is he really hurt? Smh

Nah, fouled out.

 

[NewArena]

Someone please tell me Sabonis isn’t about to miss time. The new look of this team is all i care about going into next season

 

[NewArena]

Nah, fouled out.

Oh thank God

I am sure that he can improve in those areas.

The question is if he is willing to put and maintain a sustained effort in time to do it.

 

[NewArena]

Gotta love how consistent Fox has been. I’m gonna have to watch the replay

 

[Tetsujin]

He has improved though. I'm not sure where this "Fox is lazy" narrative is coming from all of a sudden but the dude has looked better as a shooter since the trade and it's not like dudes turn in 40% three-point shooters overnight.

Having a more defined roster that allows him to focus 100% on scoring has to help. And maybe he finally burned off that 10 pounds of new muscle he didn’t seem to be using
