[Game] Kings @ Timberwolves 1/30/2023 5pm Pacific 8pm Eastern

I'd be fine cutting out the back-up C slot, giving those minutes to Lyles and start experimenting with T.Davis 8-10 MPG instead. See if that helps give the bench a more consistent scoring punch. Certainly couldn't get much worse defensively.

I've been on this train for a while. Let's stop trying to plug the Domas shaped hole in the offense with Metu or Holmes and just go all in on offense with Lyles as the backup 5.

I regret not driving up for this one although I would have been pulling out my hair most of the game. It’s also 3 degrees outside

On very icy roads glad you stayed home. Not a day to be driving

Can't believe that the Pistons just gave away Trey Lyles. He surely made his mark on the Gobert report.

Lyles was a main reason why the KINGS got away with choking at the end of Q4. He and Swipa were the difference in OT.

Somebody should tell the Lakers that it is possible to be sent into overtime by a very bad no call and still win the game.

We’re very practiced at that situation.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Hard to believe, but the Kings are now the only team in the Western Conference with a winning record on the road, 12-10.

And 1 of only 6 in the entire league.

If this isn't worth COY or Exec of the Year, not sure anything is tbh. Absurd turn-around so far

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Wasn't pretty but I'll take it.

Great bounce back win against a team they should beat.

If they can manage to continue to beat the teams they should beat on this road trip, they‘ll likely create some nice separation in the standings.

Then the next challenge is improving that HOME record.

Counts the same.

Resigning Bagley for 3/37 to top it all off was even funnier.

If you told me in September that we'd be playing over .500 on the road but only slightly better at home while the home game experience was reaching glory years level of volume and enthusiasm I would have laughed so hard at you.

Watching this on TV did not fully capture THIS moment.

Now's the time to triple down that under bet.

Here we go, Kings fans.....

Another win means another "QWERTY special"...

JUST.
EFFING.
BEAM.
IT.

 

[reptilexcq2]

Kings defense intensity is noticeable in this game. I hope they play like this every night.

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Gang, we're 49 games into the season. And only 12 wins away from guaranteeing ourselves the best record we've had since the 2005-2006 season. This is wild.

I really don’t think the wolves are a team we “should” beat on the road. I was hoping for a split of the two games….great win

Malik asked for brown rice, they told him that brown rice was too spicy.

where's the love for black rice in all this?

Love it.

If you had told me in September that the Kings would start February as the #3 seed in WC and be first in the Pacific Division, I would have had you committed to a mental hospital.

Not sure it matters to you revealing your personal info but this quote gives you away on the twitter thread. Just a heads up.

I wonder if Keegan brought his teammates to his favorite chicken breast and rice spot.

Took me a second to realize you were making a joke…my mind went straight to hainanese chicken and khao man gai and my mouth started watering.

I think in retrospect the Pistons are regretting giving us Lyles as filler in the Bagley trade. Honestly, who has made more of an impact this season? Answer: Lyles by a mile!

I say more stupid stuff on twitter with my real name than I do here so I probably should be more worried about that.

Record wise we're in my realm of the higher end of my projections, and I certainly expected some teams to not be as good as expected, but I really think our overall standing is more a direct result of the latter than the former. I thought the Warriors and Suns would still be ahead of us this year.

Had to have the win, and got it. Now to the next one. Kings bench looked better.
