I bash Willie a lot but he stepped up at the end

He always steps up in the end. He comes up clutch a lot at the end of games for some reason. It's like he makes one big play and he gets super energized from it. He's just so incredibly inconsistent. That's why everyone has such a love/hate with him.

Frank Mason snags a Wade Jersey.

You got that backwards.

 

[Solicitor]

Nice welcome win for Barnes and Burks!

 

[kingsfan1984]

Us stealing this one evens it out with that garbage laker win over the colts last night

 

[Swipa]

I really don’t know how we won this game. Defense? They stopped making shots? That was bizarre. We never played well really. And we won, against a very solid team. This is huge.

 

[Kingz19]

The three guys having abysmal games really closed out well. Fox and Willie more so defensively but Bogdan really played well after it had hit rock bottom in the third for him

 

[sactowndog]

I had no confidence that we would pull off a comeback like this. It just seemed like we could never get over the hump. It wasn't pretty but great win.

Me neither but after 3-4 games of saying we are done and proven wrong, I learned a while ago to never say we’re done even if I thought it.

We really needed that game mentally.

I wonder why. Do they know each other or train with each other? Kinda odd to exchange it with a deep bench 3rd string pg. Usually it's with one of the top players or good friends.

The days of the Kings not being able to match up against the death lineups might be over. Barnes allowed the Kings to do things down the stretch they aren't normally able to on both ends.

Defense down the stretch.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Amazing!

 

[Ozymandias]

WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO...... what a win... I wasn't gonna miss this game for ANYTHING and this team is just the gift that keeps on giving...


We will beat the heck out of a team like Miami in a few years too, as our guys strenthen up they wont have a chance, so to beat them now when they have an extreme strength advantage is super sweet.

Miami is not that solid. They were 25-27 before this game. However, they had a better road record than at home. Go figure.

 

[KingKong]

This team needs to get in some serious practice time now!

 

[Blastoff]

I was expecting Buddy to exchange jerseys with Wade to be honest, surprised that it was Mason.

The way Wade collects "notable" jerseys...Frank Mason was National POY.

 

[SacTownKid]

Defense down the stretch.

Give credit to Willie. What makes him so frustrating is those parts where defensively he's just attacking everything. Where is that all game?

 

[VF21]

I don't know for sure, of course, but that Harrison Barnes guy just might not be too bad.

 

[allrightythen]

Seriously! When is the All-Star break?

Defense. The Heat were on pace for 118 at halftime and didn’t even finish with 100. They only scored 37 points in the second half. 33 in the second quarter. It’s like the game the Kings had in Brooklyn only the Heat still played defense when their shots stopped falling

I thought the exact same thing. So, so random.

 

[Suicide King]

Shoot less than 30% in the first quarter?

Doesn't matter, we got Buddy Hield.

Hell of an ugly, beautiful, garbage patch win.

You don't know? Wade has been exchanging jerseys with players all season long after the game. They reach out to him in advance and he accepts it. Why miss the opportunity to have yourself an authentic Wade jersey? That will be a pricey jersey one day when he's long done playing.

 

[AleksandarN]

When we edge out the #8 seed, we're not going to remember how ugly this game was. It's all good.

When our shots are not falling and we still not playing well yet we still win. That is a no quit winning attitude. What a difference a year makes.

 

[allrightythen]

Yeah he was on point at the end. Not sure why he isn't always so focused but I'm happy when it's there.

The way Wade collects "notable" jerseys...Frank Mason was National POY.

I don't think he aims for "notable" players only. He exchanged jerseys with Glenn Robinson III earlier in the season.

 

[LoungeLizard]

It says something that we can play that bad for much of the game and pull this one out....now take care of business on Sunday against the Suns and finish off this homestand 5-1!!!!!!

 

[TaxMan]

Well. I’ll be damned.

 

[Kingster]

Oh I knew they were going to win all along. NOT!

You can just see that when this team does get rhythm with these new guys they are going to be very good. They've just got to gut it out for a few or (maybe several games) until it comes together.

P.S. Thank God for Buddy Hield!

 

[Kings_of_California]

Barnes looked ok. Had a couple missed iso attempts and a couple shots were absolute bricks but overall I'm fine withi t.
