[Game] Kings @ Thunder - Monday, March 12 - 5 PT

Baby steps. I think he's showing a LOT of improvement.

Definetly. He and Bogdan suffer from the same "syndrome" where they try too much to fit into the team concept when it'd be better to look for their own offense. That'll come though with more experience

Liking the rebounding by Bogdan

And the Kings have the lead going into the 4th quarter.

I honestly did not think I would be saying that tonight.

 

[Tetsujin]

So how do all you don't-play-the-vets-but-also-tank people feel about Z-Bo being the only dude really keeping the Kings from taking control of the game?

 

[VF21]

The prediction machine needs to be taken out and shot.

Could we PLEASE hold this until the game is over?

 

[VF21]

dang. It's starting to look as though the Great God Naismith wants to keep it interesting.

 

[VF21]

Thank you, Bogs!

Kings lead 79-78 after 3Q. Bogi 17 pts, 7 rebs, Jackson 15 pts, Fox 7 pts, 7 asts. George 21 pts, Melo 19 pts, Westbrook 13 pts, 7 rebs, 8 asts.

Kings are making great hustle plays right now and the offense looks crisp with cuts. If not for deflections and some missed layups, Kings would be ahead.

Sorry for how the tweets look. I just don't like posting a link. People should be able to see the tweet without having to make another click IMHO.

Steven Adams (left hip contusion) is out for tonight.

 

[VF21]

I'm very worried about the Thunder. They apparently are much softer and more fragile than I would have imagined. They're being tossed around like leaves in a hurricane.

 

[VF21]

DeFox is DeMan.

 

[BeerNerd916]

Fox gets beat the **** up and never gets calls. Ridiculous

 

[SacTownKid]

You just have to love how Fox doesn't a give a bleep. When his confidence is going he can take it to the other team.

 

[VF21]

QUIT BEING NICE!! You don't always have to share.

 

[VF21]

Heart, hustle, energy, effort and enthusiasm. All on display by the Kings tonight for our viewing pleasure. If you don't like that? Bite me.

I LOVE THIS TEAM!

The future is bright for this young Kings team.

From Kayte:

That was great defense right there by Justin Jackson to force Paul George into a turnover. Fox finds WCS who scores on the runout makes it 102-94 with just under 2:00 to play.

 

[BeerNerd916]

Surprised they called that one. Jeez

 

[VF21]

From Carmichael Dave:

Kings will lose tonight, but lose the right way. Sure- long term and ping pong balls, but seeing Fox and JJ and the kids really click at times, these are the glimpses that give us fans oxygen.

 

[VF21]

I've seen Garrett Temple leave his feet FOUR times trying to block long shots by the Thunder. Not impressed.

DeFox, Jackson and Bogs on the other hand? SO MUCH TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

It is, in fact, a very good time to be a Kings fan.

optimism tonight, what went wrong yesterday versus Denver then?

Whatever. If you aren't happy about how well they played tonight, then I'm not gonna bother trying to explain it to you. Last night was last night.

Have a good evening, all. I'm just not up to facing the negativity that will inevitably ooze its way into the discussion. #SacramentoProud

Don't be like that...I just want a reasonable explanation is all

 

[gunks]

I'm digging the dimes from Fox. JJ with a good game as well!

I'm actually happy tonight!

Don't forget about Bogs.

One tremendous quarter essentially. The Kings just seem to match up well with the Thunder also. The Kings finally cleared the paint and let Fox go to work in the 2nd half. The spacing was much better and the Kings got all they could eat in the paint and more in that 3rd.

Seems to happen with more success versus the Thunder than the rest of the league. They probably lollygag too much when playing the Kings and only turn it up when necessary.

Not from me. As much as Orlando crushed hope, tonight breathed oxygen into it. The kids played great tonight. Saw much to be encouraged:

• Bogi still shooting after a rough start. He needs to shoot more but he didn’t let a slow start take him out of his game
• Fox making great decisions and creating for his teammates. He can be the straw that stirs the drink and tonight he was.
• Jackson shooting with confidence and making great cuts to the basket.
