I have 100% no doubt that would of been the result unless you foul him before he crosses the half court line

Davion still undefeated in the NBA. The streak continues. LOL

And Harkless. I get it, Davion rookied up some major defensive mistakes late, but if he's going to try and "coach" his team to victory and goes total defense he doesn't leave Davion in?

i agree. yes he made a bonehead play but usually he's smarter than that. Also davion is a poor FT shooter, what if he got the ball and they foul him?
28 pts in 20 second half min by my count.

Kings still undefeated since Shaq sold his shares of the team
That is the straight sauce.....they aren't winning games against the better teams with tonight's 2nd half excuse for rebounding and defense...it took a season-type high shooting night from Barnes to eek out the win....too much Fox one-on-one trying to force calls

Then again on the flipside, Luke is still Luke in late game situations and they needed Barnes to go all out LeBron to win. haha. Good 'ol Kings, nothing can ever be easy. lol.
The Blazers might be the most non-fun team for me to watch. They're like the Kings, except they have Damian Lillard. All they do is jack up 3s and not play defense.
With that being said, so great to have the win tonight! I think the guys played well and the refs held their whistle too much at the end there. Should've been a flagrant on Nurkic. He does that BS thing Cousins used to do where he fouls hard, then walks away like he did nothing.

Agreed. Not cool to show the young'un up w/the no-confidence vote there. Grrrr.

Good. Maybe he will get his head out it. With preseason and this game he is shooting 6% from 3pt and 27% from the field. Now all of a sudden he can’t handle the ball. He is having issues. Shouldn’t be starting trying to figure them out.

Except unlike Cousins, he gets star calls for some reason

I called it in preseason, with some of the lineups Walton is running he's literally the ONLY player capable of creating shots. Davion and Tyrese are going to see more and more double teams as the season goes on and they aren't going to carry anyone in that scenario. Whoever is in Waltons ear and immediately corrected the faults tonight better have seen what the deal is because rotations and roster management is everything.
So? Refs were crap and 3 of their main offensive weapons they're going to rely on for spacing especially this season were total garbage. Gutty win on the road against a team that has largely owned us for a long time.
Not a perfect win, but there's a lot to build on here

Either Monte or Morey probably picked a phone after this game and talked about Hali in a Simmons trade. 
We just won in our house of horrors, and your move is to pick nits with the coach. So damn predictable

Beat the Blazers...AND the refs! I bet when the officials return home tonight its a local drive...

I know it’s just the first game but I hope the offense can find its rhythm sooner rather than later. Not enough ball movement and we still need someone who can create a bucket besides Fox and Black Falcon. The slump for Ty continues. Nothing to worry about just yet but worth keeping an eye on. Bench Buddy is really fantastic, he should embrace that role. Len should have been subbed in to knock Nurkic around.

Hit back with facts or move along. Yeah, and so were the mistakes. This wasn't the first go around seeing this same thing. Didn't catch him tonight, but it might tomorrow and the next day. At least tonight we can't get the typical Marvin Bagley blame lol. Or Buddy blame eh?

can we trade haliburton for last years haliburton? Is that possible? I’m worried about the kid. Something is going on. He is in major struggle mode right now. Maybe the pressure of starting? Maybe this is in protest to Bagley not playing. Or upset we took a pg in the draft? I don’t know

Buddy was pretty flawless tonight as well as HB and Holmes. Fox looked good early but hero ball and “the shoe” almost cost is down the stretch. Just forcing things with no ball movement is something we have seen before and it doesn’t work. Luckily we had a lead before it started.

lol the first thing I thought when I posted about Hali was she’d probably give me crap for being negative after a win

Yeah, right, that's exactly what you do if your a top GM, let one play by one of your best players make your decision for you. That was a crap move by Walton, and the kind of move an idiot head coach would do. You don't publicly diss one of your best players.
