Really liked Kessler's game today. I think he was doing what he hoped KZ would have done

 

[NewArena]

This one was stressful down the stretch. The starters were pretty bad, but I think part of that is the Suns are a bad matchup for our starting 5. Primarily because Huerter & Murray can't stop Booker and Ayton affects both Domas and Fox as an interior presence.

But very glad to see the team get the win tonight.

For them to be able to win on the road with a tough matchup like this. I am truly amazed

Not all heroes wear capes.

We're winning 4 championships, now? The prophets have spoken.

I think Kessler Edwards value was a little bloated in this matchup too. Without KD, once we could slow down D-Book enough, they naturally would have to rely on the supporting cast to make their shots. They didn't make enough tonight.

When's the last time y'all had a team where the starters can be off, and the bench is like, "Don't worry, guys, we got y'all"?

Yeah, so far Murray is having tough nights against wing teams. This is the 3rd game that Murray has gotten benched against the Suns at some point. His splits against the Hawks, Suns, Wolves, and a few others are pretty telling. Big physical wings are taking him out this year.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

This freakin team has Durant smh. Rediculous

Like I mentioned earlier, I still can remember the time when we are losing those games when Fox couldn't score 25-30.

 

[Fantazija]

That had a playoff feeling.Teams will do everything possible to limit Sabonis and Fox.And Suns did a pretty good job at it.To win a game like that is a statement at least in my mind.I feel much more confident about what's to come after they win games this one

 

[Fantazija]

That's an understatement...Kessler was one the best players on Kings tonight

 

[NewArena]

Absolutely gorious win here with so many great, great signs. The best of which being Kessler Edwards. This could not have been a better showing for our team and Mr. Edwards. Wow just wow.

Having a veteran coach trust such a young player is soooo rare. Guys like Thibs in NYC would absolutely NEVER!

 

[Kingz19]

DPOG goes to Kessler

doing a presser with Metu who may very well be runner up. He played great defense tonight. 3 steals

 

[kingsfan101]

Actually I believe they paid us to take him

Was about to say the same.

I like that brown was not afraid to do what needs to get done to win a game at this point. There will be other games and better matchups for Keegan to shine

If Kessler can keep making opens 3s.. I think he might take some of Keegan’s minutes. These wings are giving Keegan a lot of trouble, but Book was always going to be a bad matchup for him. He was the better option that Kevin… but even Kevin didn’t play as much tonight.

He’s KZ but without the fouling….

This team got even better since that bozo got offed by his bookie.

And with KZ having surgery that explains why he wasn't always playing most likely. One thing is for sure, Brown loves his 3 and D guys.

 

[TaxMan]

Davion also with an under the radar great game as well

 

[iowamcnabb]

There really isn’t anyone that can stop Booker. He averaging 38 in his last 5

Not that it matters but Kessler replaced Chima.

If the shooters aren't hitting it seems like Brown is ready to make that switch and go with the energy/defense. Good options to have. If your offense is exploding you just stick with Keegan and Kevin. If not, heck, he might even put in Dozier and Kessler at some point.

Davion and Kessler out there were a defensive force. They shut everyone down. It brought a tear to my eye.

 

[LoungeLizard]

This team is developing and coming together so much quicker than I ever thought possible. At the all star break any talk of 50 wins was straight lunacy but an 8-1 run since has left us just needing to finish 10-6 to get there. Why not us?!

 

[SacTownKid]

I'm saying KZ was Browns only 3 and D guy and it looks like all our complaining about him not playing was because he wasn't 100%.

 

[KainLear]

Brooklyn fans take on Kessler Edwards:
"Take a second and look at his game logs from last year. Kid was a 2nd round pick in his first year in the league and was immediately thrown into a lineup playing with KD and Kyrie. Nash used him a lot toward the end of the year. He played 7 mins in the playoffs for us.

I thought Nash broke him bc that’s a lot for a young kid to handle who needed to learn the ropes. He was scared to shoot but always great defensively. That has changed now that he’s with the Kings. Makes me very happy to see."

yeah my thought of them being a bad match-up and Fox has been playing great but played crap defense tonight. Offered limited resistance on screens all night. Davion came in and made Paul’s night tough.

 

[Caccia]

And Chimezie might have to change his name to Metu World Peace.

Please, no.
