Domas wedged between Lyles and Lopez, and they move him like he wasn't there.

NBA players are strong

I’m pretty sure GA said something and that’s why Lyles went for the steal and pushed him. Lyles isn’t having it.

It'll be a real test for Monte to improve on this #1 offense roster.

That's exactly why he might be in the position to improve it because on offense you can make players look really good to other teams. You win when it counts on the backs of your stars. The number 1 team in the regular season isn't always the favorite. The playoffs will tell it. This was a good test because learning about where the gaps in this roster are is all that matters long term.

Katie throwing shade at TNT announcers... " #41 has a name... and it's not Kevin Lyles..." lol luv you Katie!

I think Brown mismanaged the offense down the stretch. Why did we go to a Barnes iso back to back when Huerter was the one with a hot hand? We didn't even look for him

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Bill Kennedy #55 needs to put some respect on Trey Lyles' name.

I don’t condone this post

Good game kings. We will get the next one. Let’s hope bucks get upset before or nba finals trip

Hard to blame a mismanaged offense when the defense is largely “Ignore the 3 point line, it’s fiiiiiiiiiine!”

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

If the Knicks game was a loss wrapped in a win, this game is a win wrapped in a loss.

I love what I saw from my Kings this game.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Finally this Kings team has a tough enforcer. TREY LYLES in the mode of Doug Christie back in the day.

Because that iso ball is what playoff ball comes down to, mark it down, it always does. Or at least the players that can feed themselves usually get served first and last. My guess is Domas and Fox were spent. They played the whole 4th and Fox has kind of been gassing out the last few games as it is.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

When are we gonna let Murray finish a game?

I don’t condone this post

Bucks announcers said the difference is this bucks core has been together 3+ years. They n kw each other like the back of their hands.

yeah I agree. Bucks are a tough match up for the Kings but absolutely loved the way they competed against a full up Bucks team. The game had skill, intensity and was fun as hell to watch.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

I don't condone fighting (I actually do), but I LOVE what I saw from Trey Lyles there. No negatives. None at all.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Hey that was fun regardless. I’m not generally someone who likes fights in non combat sports but Trey is as cool as a cucumber so if he is mad I’m rolling with him. Bucks hit threes at the end that changed the tide and Giannis is redunk. Some things to clean up but a lot to like too.

I think we can count on Malik too if it is to throw down... ahem I mean tough enforcing.

Defense lost this game. I feel we were just trading baskets, Davion and Edwards needed to be on the floor even though Edwards missed a couple of shots.

Can't go 100% on offense all the time. Bucks did whatever they wanted on offense.

In the playoffs you're going to need to defend, good lesson for them I hope

 

[Kingster]

The Kings don't have the polish yet of the Bucks. Little things like missed defensive assignments, slipping on the floor, not quite playing with the confident aggression at times, all of those things had a bearing in the 4th. Excellent effort by the Kings and a good learning experience going into the playoffs.

P.S. I'm not sure I want to see Metu or Edwards taking 3 pointers in the playoffs either.

 

[Rain man]

He may get to skip the road trip

lol. That is no 4 game suspension. 1 game, maybe 2 max. I’d put my money on 1 game.

We did well in the first half defensively. Then everyone in the Bucks kicks up a notch and then it was business as usual for the veterans.

 

[Joshoua]

Whatever, I don’t mind the chippy-ness from Trey

Na that craps lame Giannis is the rare superstars that doesn’t flop, sit game, ring chase, or complain constantly. And all that Giannis is dribbling the clock out and walking away and you push him in the back if he did it to Steph, KD, or the donkey fine

 

[Woot!]

Giannis is a cheat code. Too good.

Genuinely curious: can ANYONE is the league do ANYTHING to slow Giannis one-on-one? A healthy Brow? Jarrett Allen? Draymond back in the day?

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Kings Reddit bombarded with prickly Bucks “fans”. Brook is at least as much responsible as Lyles for what happened wish he had gotten his head ripped off.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Trey Lyles may have gotten ejected from the game, but he got INJECTED straight into the hearts of Kings fans.

 

[sauce-26]

The Bucks, 76ers, Celtics are tier one. I think we can argue the kings are in tier 2. And that isnt a bad thing.

 

[Rain man]

Have we seen any replays of the scuffle showing our bench? Curious if anyone left the bench.
