Kings are escaping this game

I'm just really proud of the Kings for coming back from 18 in the first quarter. It just looked like one of those nights where the Kings would be off shooting, but they kept grinding and felt the fire once again........The old Kings Team never would have been able to come back like this.

 

[Bfreeman]

What I appreciate about Fox is when his teammates are hitting he lays back. When needed he says climb on my back boys were not losing tonight

DrAaron Fox is special bro.

More like Wimpyamba amirite?

 

[kingsboi]

Kings let a young team hang around but it never seemed like the game was going to be out of reach for them once Fox decided to take matters into his own hands. With that said, Sabonis is passing up so many 5-10 foot wide open shots, it may work now but come April/May, that's not going to fly.

 

[Gtronic]

Ugly game besides the obvious. Good teams find a way to win. We found a way to win!

Naw. He is gonna be real good. In 3 years he's gonna be an MVP talent.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Fox leads the league in scoring.

As a basketball fan I’m excited for it.

As a competing Western Conference team’s fan… a little less so.

He passes them up because those shots are his buggaboo

 

[PorchSurfin]

Fox leads the league in scoring.

Even after missing how many games?

 

[kingsboi]

one final note; Barnes looks like he's playing in sand, I don't think it will happen, but I'd like to eventually transition Vezenkov in that role, may not happen this season but something to consider

Doesn't mean his team is going to be good tbh. Or even better than us. Individual talents don't always translate to team success -> see Luka Doncic.

 

[kingsboi]

but taking three point shots will suffice?

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

He's averaging 32 and change in six games. He doesn't technically show up in the stats on ESPN, but he has the highest average.

If you're confident and its open, I dont have a problem with it....as long he makes his FTs which of note he did tonight.

 

[kingsboi]

Naw. He is gonna be real good. In 3 years he's gonna be an MVP talent.

I don't know about MVP level just yet but it couldn't happen to a better coach and organization to get the most out of him

 

[PorchSurfin]

The messed up thing is that Vlade and Monte both had it right, build a team around Fox. Only Monte was good enough to do it. Shows the difference in management between the 2. Vlade made a big mistake with Puke Walton

being confident from deep but not from in the paint is a scary thought

In 3 years? His 4th year in the league after NBA level nutrition and offseason training? Tripping.

just goes to show you how nepotism does have a say in the association. Just look at both Doc and Austin now doing TV gigs on ESPN

I know, but just for tonight I was razing.

Kings need to figure out a better defense on him than Barnes.
Spurs need to figure out how to play with Wimpy better.

those twig legs need some serious work but time will tell

 

[kingdivac]

Yeah we'd like him to be confident all over, but a passed up shot is not a missed shot either.

it might as well be

 

[PorchSurfin]

DeAaron will make a HELLUVA coach one day. Fight me on that one.

 

[NewArena]

I’m so glad i watched the final 8 minutes or so. Fox is absolutely INCREDIBLE and I can’t remember the last time (if ever) that I’ve trusted a Kings player with the ball in his hands like this. Seriously, not even Mike Bibby. This is crazy and so much fun to witness Fox literally get better on a weekly basis.

 

[iowamcnabb]

I thought the game was on an hour later than it was so I missed the first half. Did I see we were down 18 at one point? I assume Fox went on a run?

 

[NewArena]

Sabonis looks like a completely different player than the first couple weeks to start the season and we’re Blessed as a result. There’s no going back for him in terms of being hesitant and passing the ball around without ever looking for his own shot.
