[Game] Kings vs. Celtics, 2/3/21, 7pm PST, 10pm EST

[OffTheWallJamal]

Let's hope Fox is good for the next game, because even if he misses one game - it's big trouble.

 

[KainLear]

I know how much he loves that Richaun push shot. Maybe tensions are too high for irony at that moment?

He was on a serious tone the whole time discussing options (to foul, not to foul) with Doug.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

GREAT WIN!!!!

I can smell it!!!

.500

 

[John Galt]

Tyrese is smarter than all the other Kings put together. i can't believe we got this guy!!!

 

[SwipaTical]

Deaaron with 13 plus points in the 4th in 3 straight games. Whoa who is this guy.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Kings 4Q crunch time execution much, much better of late. But last few seconds execution still uneven. Why have Rese inbound the ball very single time? That last few seconds play would have been better to have Holmes passing it to clutch shooter Rese instead of the big mans brick hitting top of the backboard. But in the end didn't matter this time - KINGS WIN!!!

Hopefully it was just a little hip contusion and not a lingering pointer.

 

[gunks]

Well shoot.... I may be off the tank bandwagon.

This was a game where the Kings lose by 6-8 if not for Haliburton 3rd quarter play.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Celtic fans irate about the play call by their coach where Haliburton fouled Grant.

I was thinking the same thing. On one hand who better to trust to get it in? There were some serious game management issues but De'Aaron is now good enough to clean up some of those messes.

I don't know if he's the smartest player on the floor, but he's the rare rookie who never looks flustered by the moment. The Kings historically have a bad habit of falling apart under pressure so seeing him calmly make the right play every time is very refreshing to be sure!

 

[Woot!]

Sweet, SWEET win. Fox was again the lead dawg, but winning contributions from everyone who played down the stretch. LOVE the way the Kings gobbled rebounds in the last 4th and especially in the last 6 min. .500? I'm sayin' there's a *chance*!

Haliburton is so smart. He's like having another coach on the floor.

Luka who?

I think it's a trust issue on the crucial pass-in, and among the 3-pt showers Ty is least able to get his ooff in that circumstance. They figured Richaun wouldn't be challenged and figured he'd do better than that effort. We've heard rumors of RH working on a 3-ball before.

 

[kingsboi]

who was Luke telling to box out in the end? I'm assuming it was Richaun. The play prior to that, he was chasing Jaylen around the Williams screen before Hali bailed him out with a foul

Buddy I'm pretty sure. Should of blocked out the shooter.

 

[kingdivac]

I agree with the sentiment that Walton needs to fit Bagley in for some 4thQ playing time....keep the leash short, but give him some chances..

 

[kingsboi]

Buddy I'm pretty sure. Should of blocked out the shooter.

you may be right. Buddy, Fox and Barnes were having a little gathering on the other side of the court

 

[Woot!]

Luka who?

Totes. Good call to pass on Luka a couple years back so they'd be in position to grab Ty last year.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Good win. Kings on a nice streak

 

[SacTownKid]

Buddy I'm pretty sure. Should of blocked out the shooter.

Have to give Williams credit, he banged it off so quick nobody had a chance. He was really close to a violation on that one too.

Hmmmm.... maybe Vlade knew what he was doing not wanting to take the ball out of this Fox kids hands? haha.

 

[iowamcnabb]

This was a critical win. If we can go 2-2 in this four game stretch that would be huge! I am eyeing that Clippers game too. I can see them going to sleep when they see us on the schedule considering how they manhandle us. Barnes on kawhi this time.

And on the sideline Luke Walton was laughing it up coming out of the timeout. In that timeout could have changed the play with Holmes to inbound but dude too busy laughing, not thinking, not being alert, not being creative. But we already know he's a bozo head coach.

Haliburton jumpshot kinda reminds me of Ball's, or a kid learning basketball - he keeps it pretty low, but it works!
