We're gonna win this game aren't we?

I hope so.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

That Bender three was so bad I thought the Phoenix fans might start the "Air-Ball" chant.

 

[The_Jamal]

Hayes really nice at hedging on the PnR Ball-Handler on defense. Noticed it several times now.

 

[VF21]

GO KINGS! Help me forget about my toothache.

He kind of reminds me of Noah Vonleh for some reason.

 

[jiimbob]

Why? There's nothing wrong with him. They're losing by double digits. How bad does it need to be for you?

Even though there was some recent concern about Bogdans hamstring I hope you know its a joke. I'm just stressing how ridiculous the Suns, day to day reports, and the final few weeks of the season are.

 

[jcwkings]

Can someone explain the logic of playing Carter so late in the season?

He's a legend and Kings know fans want to see him when they pay to watch Kings.

Sorry.

The jumper in Hayes head a bit I think. Just gotta keep shooting it and trust his stroke. That's what's going to make him an NBA player.

 

[jcwkings]

Suns have Devin Booker and Josh Jackson and are content to throw the season away instead of building an identity around those two guys. Sometimes bad teams stay bad for a reason(us included).

 

[VF21]

Grant couldn't help himself. He couldn't do a full commit to the 2 for 1 comment, but he had to go provisional.

Remember, he's never even stepped foot in G1C as a King. Not sure how comfortable he can feel out there with a bunch of strangers and minimal "practice" time between the Lakers game and tonight.

You're right that he needs to keep shooting. I'm glad Joerger is giving him the opportunity to do so. I think Nigel is a keeper.

Let's see....build an identity in the last few games or go for DeAndre Ayton... hmmmmmm

tough choice

Well im saying they've been crap all year and have basically been playing pickup ball all season. You could have at least established something.

 

[jcwkings]

Justin Jackson is either on or completely cold, no in between with him this year.

 

[Suicide King]

Justin's floater is wicked

edit: as in scary good

JJ was crap all season, he just now started to turn it on when Booker has been out

 

[VF21]

So DeFox is learning how to get the defender to leave his feet and jump into him? I don't like to see that, but if teams are gonna do it against us, then we might as well. Kevin Martin got a lot of trips to the line doing the patented Reggie Miller move.

GO KINGS!

 

[KingsSelecao]

Suns will have a nice core next year.
Jackson who has been averaging 18 pts a
Game since Jan 29, Booker, and a Top 3
Pick.

Let's see....build an identity in the last few games or go for DeAndre Ayton... hmmmmmm

Really? You can tell off a couple tank games??? I’m not a huge Grant fan but even he said you can’t really judge a player in these tankathon games at the end of the year.

 

[HndsmCelt]

This is just my opinion but I think that's Kings play better with a power forward on the court.

 

[VF21]

Yep. My answer is commensurate with your question. Hayes has shown more in his brief minutes than Bruno Caboclo and I didn't see you questioning people who support him. Sorry if it upsets you, but I'm going to continue to be optimistic and hopeful.

 

[VF21]

Good to see Justin knocking them down. It doesn't matter if it's from the paint, from the elbow or from the line - seeing the ball go through the net has to feel good.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Kevin Martin got a lot of trips to the line doing the patented Reggie Miller move.

That's actually an understatement - I checked, and there has been one guard to have a FTr of above 0.625, playing 30 MPG for at least 50 games since 1954 - Kevin Martin, and he did it twice. Harden is the modern player to come closest, and he has never reached 0.6.

I kinda knew that.

Holy crap that's actually insane. Just another guy who would be on another level if he had his prime in today's NBA.

Even more so because nobody wanted to foul him. He shot almost 87% from the line those years.

 

[The_Jamal]

Buddy making us all look stupid for not thinking he can't play both ends.

 

[theclash4u5]

That's a damn good point, Kevin Martin would have been perfect for today's NBA.
