Willie. Caulie. Stein.
Nice freakin job tonight

 

[Kingz19]

Joerger should just think of new ways to dog Willie before every game to keep that fire under him

 

[Jeremy Fraser]

3 game home win streak!

We're getting that Power Balance Pavilion magic back baby

 

[pdxKingsFan]

That was fun. Not expecting a repeat tomorrow but that's cool. I'm gonna have fun and enjoy it.

 

[HndsmCelt]

This is the Willie Cauley-Stein we have been waiting for!

Off the bench explosion. Keep him there for awhile.

Yep, I've always been fond of the saying it's not who starts the game it's who finishes it. Willie keeps playing like this from the bench keep him there and let him finish.

 

[fansinceday1]

I really enjoy watching frank mason play. Let's hope he gets more playing time.

 

[NewArena]

HUGE props to our coach because i make it my business to call him out when i disagree. Fantastic job tonight. He isn’t afraid to hurt a players feelings, but he’ll find a way to somehow encourage you at the same time.

 

[kingdivac]

Bogdan, Labissiere, and Mason 3-21....must improve for next game.

 

[Joshoua]

OMG. I don't care what they do on the road. They do this at home (even once in a while) and they take my breath away.

Yep, it's a GOOD time to be a Kings fan.

Oh yeah...

I LOVE THIS TEAM!

That’s how tanking should be get our 20-25 wins at home

We're not tanking. We're learning.

 

[Joshoua]

We dodged major bullets not having Josh Jackson and Marquise Chriss on our team just terrible

 

[Larry David]

Good win to shore up the locker room

 

[YoungBlood]

Notice the defense is better without Randolph on the floor. He's a good offensive player but he's too slow on defense.

Chriss has the worst body language and demeanor I've ever seen. It's like if you took the competitive fire out of Boogie but kept the the extreme attitude.

 

[King Baller]

Bogdan, Labissiere, and Mason 3-21....must improve for next game.

Yes but they won tonight

 

[King Baller]

3 wins and 3 losses over the last 6 games It is almost like a .500 stretch

Yeah I think coach playing Randolph much fewer minutes helped our team. They had 20 assists tonight and played outstanding defense. Zach maybe a fine player but this team needs ball movement and cutting to be successful.

 

[miltonap]

I'm fine with benching Jackson tbh. Hes pretty raw and mason deserves those minutes. I liked the lineups they were very balanced. Fox and Skal brings some fire to that starting lineup

 

[bajaden]

I've been a big fan of Willie's, but I do have my limits. Just about every time I'm ready to give up on him, he does something like this. This is what he's capable of, and that's the frustrating part. Here's hoping that the light bulb has finally gone on. Great game Willie! You too Koufos....

I don’t blame him he’s never committed a foul haha

Post-game, WCS commented that playing alongside koufas helped spread the floor for him. He said he has been waiting for that lineup.

I liked that Joerger gave 5 or so guys some extended run in this game. Nobody played more than 35 minutes, but Joerger didn't do the revolving door thing and play 8 guys 20 minutes this game.

 

[Vladizzle]

While this was a much needed win many thanks to WCS and Kosta Abdul Jabaar's efforts I can't help but prepare myself for 5 bad WCS games now.

Just seems like who he is at this point. Explodes for one game and looks like very high potential then has a mental funk the next several.

Still, tonight was more than good by him. I liked the lineups better too. We won't win many games scoring consistently under .500 but a W vs a decent team is a nice start.

 

[206Fan]

This is the Willie Cauley-Stein we have been waiting for!

lets hope it lasts more than 2 games before he reverts back to his old self

 

[Warhawk]

I'm 1-0 so far this season while going to the game, hoping to continue the streak.

I'm 2-1. Opening night was the loss.

 

[VF21]

I'm 2-1. Opening night was the loss.

It might have been a loss but it was a good game!
