Good win

It’s always a good day when you BEAT LA!

 

[Woot!]

First game all year all 5 Kings' guards have been legit rotation contributors.

solid. Its nice when a couple guys aren't on to have a few guys pick up the slack. That is how a team like this is going to win.

 

[kingsboi]

those last couple of minutes felt like a whole quarter could of gone by but at least they ended the 15 game home losing streak

 

[The_Jamal]

Broke a 15 game home losing streak to the Clippers!

Basically did it without Holmes and missing Barnes. Another quality game from Bags. TD was insane, these were the spike games I was hoping he'd have that could just win us a game.

 

[kingsboi]

wonder why Metu didn't get much love in the second half after a strong first

 

[Woot!]

Woot!

Exactly.

Tolja.

No. He's 1 for his last 8. But the shots have been good and he's moved the ball very well; *should* have more assts. Only one TO.

Very happy with his game tonight - and I've seen much to criticize about it this year, but loving tonight from him.

He was having a good game until the middle of the third. One of the main arguments for Fox over the summer was that he was an elite, crunchtime scorer. That wasn’t the case tonight and for most of the year. His efficiency drops when the pace slows down.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Kings undefeated in December 2-0 baby!

 

[EIM86]

Tolja.

Works for me cause I didn’t bet lol

 

[dude12]

TD huge again
Bagley double double and solid D

 

[iowamcnabb]

I didn't realize Metu had 5 blocks. That has to be a career high, no? Maybe he got tired of goaltending.

Yeah, the one Gentry decision I didn't agree with to end the game was him putting Holmes back in to close out the game. TT was legitimately having a great game and Holmes meanwhile spent most of the first 36 minutes of the game losing Zubac on defense.

It worked out well enough with Holmes getting a nice block but he just couldn't give us anything tonight.

 

[EIM86]

rumblings are starting with me cause Buddy hasn’t been bombing a trillion shots past 3 games and we playing better hmmm

Sure. But he did everything else - dish, rebound, defend... I'll trust that the crunchtime scoring will come. Even better if others can step up, as TD did tonight.

Metu was first known for his blocks in college. Of the spectacular kind. He’s a little undersized in the pros, so those blocks tend to be less frequent and almost all off the ball.

Kings 2 games back from 5 seed in Western Conference.

Hope he continues to do “well”, so his value increases.

 

[Groovygreg]

We need more games like this from ‘Rese.

Gawd that's a putrid stat - at least its over.....that's one thing the Kings used to be stronger regarding.

 

[NewArena]

Hmmm

Clearly i need to grow even more apathetic toward this team so we can gain a few more dubs. I’ll continue to pretend as if I’m checked out. *whispers Go Kings*

Last year Holmes had HUGE performances in cruncchtime. He's earned it. Besides, among our regular bigs he's literally the only one we can trust to hit his free throws. I want him out there.

Sneak.

Wut? They were 3-8 at home coming in. Terrible, but not "15 game home losing streak" terrible.

Edit: Never mind. I see the original reference was to breaking the home losing streak against the Clips.
