[Game] Kings vs. Bucks 3/16/2022 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[Bfreeman]

Good game excited for next year as per usual at least my expectations are nil

 

[miltonap]

Fox with just 3 absolutely awful turnovers.

Pretty bad

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

A very disappointing end to what had been a very entertaining game. At least the pro-tankers should be happy.

 

[luckytkp]

We could have won this game if Fox could play with 2 hands

 

[miltonap]

He turned it over AGAIN ?! That's 4.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Hard to be too upset with the game or guys played

 

[captain bill]

I don’t think anyone expected playoffs but the reality that we’re likely gonna be sub-30 wins is rough

 

[iowamcnabb]

Have to think that injury had a hand in the poor play by Fox.

 

[The_Jamal]

One of these Fox games were bound to happen. Just a poor game overall and not entirely surprising with Jrue Holiday draped all over him all game.

What's great is everyone else picked him up and honestly Barnes too. Lyles, Sabonis, Mitchell and DDV were all pretty good and we hung tough with one of the best teams in the NBA till the final few minutes. Secured the lin and got more data on who the potential core guys are next year (DDV and Lyles too).

meh, I don't trip about that. The team is clearly way better since the deadline

One small step back this year could be another giant leap forward in the summer and this team needs talent. One more major one.

 

[Tetsujin]

Matthews hit that in front of Vlade

if only he just added that seventh year in the offer

Wes Matthews refusing Vlade's stupidly long and expensive contract offer coming off of a serious lower leg injury belongs in the Bonzi Wells Bad Financial Decisions Hall of Fame.

Well then he needs to sit out. Either it bothers you a lot or deal with it

Thanks for thinking of us!!

Was actually pulling for a win this game. But a quick lotto sim at Tankathon will pick up my spirits!

.... and we got 1st! I should rep us at the lotto.

coach should have sat him.

Last two times I ran it the Kings dropped 2 spots, lol.

Yep. Add one or two more major pieces via the draft and/or trade and/or MLE to this Fox/Sabonis/Mitchell/DiVincenzo roster and the Kings are in far better shape than they've been in at least a decade.


Also a better coach would help.

Davis back next year too who at this point might be the 2nd/3rd best scorer left on the roster.

At this point we are fighting the Spurs for the 7th spot. We really need them to win all their games against Portland

Really, if there's anyway to get Justin Holiday out of the starting lineup (still think he would be an effective rotation guy in spurts), I'll take it.

 

[Kingster]

Brutal game for Fox in the turnover department coming down the stretch. The 2nd to the last turnover was especially bad, as Sabonis was wide open in the lane for an easy layup.

I love the guts and fight from these new additions to the Kings - DDV, Mitchell and Sabonis.

Lyles is a good addition to this team: smart, feathery touch, good rebounder.

The officials just sucked in this game.

Lonnie Walker hit a buzzer beater to get them the win over OKC tonight.

I'm still down with kicking the wheels on a Julius Randle package. Anything higher than 5 is probably an overpay haha.

Yeah, I'm sure the hand injury didn't help matters either. It took the dude a full two quarters to figure out how to play one handed and even then he was having issues holding the ball and passing on target.

Even five or six might be an overpay at this point. I think I'd rather have Keegan Murray at a controlled cost than Julius Randle at a very expensive one.

three wins against Portland would likely secure them the 8th pick even if they lose the rest of their games.

if we stayed at 7 or 8 I’d assume Monte would look to move the pick. I think he takes Murray if he is at 5 or 6. It will be interesting to see if Atlanta and New York look to move off of Randle and Collins even though both teams are in win now mode.
