Point DDV is hype.

Metu showing off his BBIQ on that last possession.

 

[EIM86]

Jesus just start DDV next game

 

[Kingz19]

For some reason the Celtics seem like they are legit contenders this year. I always liked bringing back Horford. White was a great addition and I think Brown, Tatum, and Smart with all the seasons together are ready to win.

oh, and they defend

Lotta stagnation on that possession.

They've had the best defense in the NBA by a wide margin for a couple months now. And getting Derrick White for free basically didn't hurt, was such a nice complimentary offensive piece to help bridge Tatum/Brown.

 

[The_Jamal]

Holy Tatum, good lord.

 

[SacTownKid]

This team is so thin on shot creators it's almost criminal. Big summer ahead.

 

[miltonap]

Basically can't have Sabonis come out this game.

Just not enough offense

 

[D13]

Spurs getting their tank back on track now that pops has the most wins title

Just having TD back would work wonders. Davion can create for himself some of the time but he's not consistent in that regard quite yet.

 

[Tetsujin]

Good lord, Tatum

 

[EIM86]

Of course Holiday gets hot in the wrong game

KANGZZZZZZ

I haven’t had time to watch the game but it appears we are locked in on defense?

Kings rotations have been okay. Tatum has just been physically incapable of missing.

 

[The_Jamal]

Just a nightmare match-up for us right now. Celtics are the best team in the NBA currently with far and away the best defense in the league. And when Tatum is rolling like this, no one is going to beat them.

Would have loved to see us vs them with Fox just to get a feel if they could continue their play from the last 2 games, but this just isn't fair.

 

[D13]

Pretty much every 3 Tatum has hit he was open. No real challenge I saw... mostly last second cover.

He hit like three with Dame Jones's hand in his face.

 

[Tetsujin]

Harrison Barnes with the impactful 0 point half.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

"And now, a quick word from Stud."

 

[Letsgokings13]

Embarrassing effort from Barnes tonight.

 

[Tetsujin]

At least we can put that "The Kings would win more games if they benched De'Aaron Fox" argument to rest.

 

[D13]

Too much 1 on 1. No flow. Blinders. Hero ball = We get killed

 

[D13]

We were moving it in the 1st quarter

 

[SacTownKid]

Harrison Barnes with the impactful 0 point half.

It's crazy how different he has been since the trade. Great system guy, but at SF. If you want offensive impact from him it has to be at PF.

They were hitting every 3, haha. Typical Kangz. Holiday can't miss when they are so depleted it doesn't matter.

 

[ESP47]

You'd think that Boston would have a huge lead due to their 3pt shooting but the Kings have mitigated that with hot 3pt shooting of their own. They're letting Boston hit 2 pointers at about a 70% clip, which is the difference in the game.

Jaylen Brown has been getting to the paint at will while the only King with any offense going on inside is Sabonis.
