[Game] Kings v. Thunder - Monday, Nov. 19 - 7 PT

[Ozymandias]

Our youngins showed some true grit in this game. This is a night for Kings fans to remember.


Westbrook was taunting Fox the entire night, so glad we could send him home with a Loss.

"The best revenge is massive success" - Frank Sinatra

Kings got bigger fish to fry than plain old OKC. this a great sign of things to come tho.

Kings are 9-2 when Bjeli scores double figures btw

It’s still in effect

 

[dude12]

Brandon Williams should be happy as Bagley got minutes, now toss BW to the curb

 

[kingsboi]

Talk is just that...talk. At the end of the day. Your play does the talking. Fox has more than enough talent to back it up.

Playing like a shark =/= nice guy act

Maybe in your world you are okay with opposition getting in your face and slapping you around without retaliation but not the Kings, thank goodness for that.

Okay, I think I saw what you were talking about. It did look like he stepped a little awkwardly on his left foot but I couldn't see clearly.

 

[twslam07]

I would argue earning the respect of your contemporary greats is part of the mental process towards NBA greatness.

You’re right. That is very arguable.

But let’s pretend it’s true...does beating him not already do that?

 

[rosa u podne]

Gritty, tough game. Kings need games like this. Great win.

Also, Brandon Williams must be pissed. Had the balls bounced the Thunders way, the Kings would be below .500! Better luck next time, Brandon.

Not

So now we’re creating strawmans...

If Russell was in his face, there would be double technicals. Stick to what happened (you know...”my world”)

 

[The Hammer]

I'm halfway convinced the gossip story was a plant by Vlade to have an excuse to rally behind the coach and rally team unity.... The way they have responded as an organization has been incredible... BROADCAST CREW INCLUDED. Very happy to see.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Why? I cant say what i am think? Calm down gyus, just feel that i dont belong here...Can you explaain me what is american basketball and what is Kings basketball? And why you think that techical is good and that play before that?

There are moments in life when people push you down or talk you down. You can choose to not do anything and let them dominate you or you can push back. Sometimes when you push back there will be consequences, but that person will forever know they don't own you. That is what happened.

In basketball terms, a future star told a current star player that "I'm here and I'm coming fast." This is sometimes necessary to get respect in the league, which goes a very long way. Luckily we still won the game so all is good.

 

[Kingster]

I am sooooooooooo happy for Dave Joerger. Game ball should go to him. He lost sleep the last two nights because of the Yahoo garbage. Great victory for him and the team tonight.

20 sec before the end.how old are you? 16? Fox is very stupid to throw away victory

the camera went towards Buddy and Shumpert, we have no idea what was said from there. I'd imagine it was enough for Fox to react because he usually doesn't.

De'Aaron said "Eff you and your stat padding ways!"

 

[kingsboi]

after Harden, Westbrick is the second most unwatchable player in the NBA

There’s a way to talk without getting a technical. If Westbrook isn’t in his face, theres no reason for Fox to be. Especially in a close game when you’re winning.

A lot of players bait you into stuff like that. Have to be smarter. I’m hopeful fox will learn.

Fox was in the refs face for a reason. Westbrick is taunting him without repercussions. He is letting them know that's not how it's going to go. Technical be damned.

He'll learn from it, gotta remember Westbrook is a guy he has looked up to and Westbrook was talking crap all game. I'm just glad to see our guy not backing down at 20 years old to one of the best in the league and at his position.

Enough with the insults!

More like winning be damned because that’s exactly what you’re risking.

Every man and woman has a right to stand up for themselves. To be honest he didn't do much to deserve a technical, Westbrook got away with much more. Fox is our leader and I do agree he made a mistake trying to score a layup with way too much time left, but I'm glad he stood up to Westbrook, who can be a bully.

 

[VF21]

For this techical and for that play before that, Dule Vujosevic slams him in face.Fox is very good but someone must learn him some discipline

Dule Vujosevic slams him in the face? Maybe in Euro leagues but not here, hence my comment about American basketball.

Fox is 20 years old and was being baited by the reigning MVP. He didn't fade and instead stood his ground. That's KINGS basketball.

The T was a debatable call, showing deference to Westbrook. Again, Fox stood his ground. I'll take that every night of the year.

The play before that? Not sure what you're referring to.

DeAaron Fox is 20 freaking years old and he's putting the league on notice that he's here to stay.

Have I answered all your questions?

Just think that i can always provoce fox and he always jumping on me.That is weknees

You're arguing that we might have lost but we didn't. We won. Risk v. reward.

 

[twslam07]

I think he’ll learn from it as well. At least you are admitting there is something to learn from.

 

[kingsboi]

I don't see it as a risk when you are up 4-5 points. You make it seem as if it lost the Kings games in the past year or something.

 

[twslam07]

You're arguing that we might have lost but we didn't. We won. Risk v. reward.

The objective is to win. Why do you want them to risk that? Why are you okay with them risking that?
