I think the Key to OT wins is Sabonis helping us get there and then fouling out lol it's been one hell of a recipe. Jokes aside, i think the best thing for our team is experiencing this tough schedule and playoff level intensity each night before the postseason gets here. I was nervous about how we'd do, but, now im thinking all of these tests are absolutely necessary considering the way we get up for equally/more talented squads.
With 4:46 to go, and the Kings down 13 points, Powell took a WIDE OPEN corner three. If the dagger hadn't already been plunged in our chests, that was the dagger.
He missed it.
The Kings turned the ball over on the next possession, and gave up 2 FTs to Paul George on the next possession. PG hit one to put the Kings down 14 with 4:25 left.
Watching the recording, I'm almost tempted to turn it off. Let's see how this goes.

Is it ok in the forum to ask for someone with a recorded game to burn it to DVD or SD card and send it to me? I'll pay for the cost. If not ok then I'm sorry won't ask again. I just don't have ways to watch the game here in ND. Have no LP. Suggestions welcome. Or will I be able to watch this if I subscribe now?
At the risk of hyperbole, this might have been the greatest regular season game I have ever seen. Fox and Monk were unbelievable, but I like to find the lesser player that made key contributions. Last night, that goes to Metu. 4 for 4 from the field with 9 rebounds. Several of those rebounds were offensive tap outs leading to a second possession and ultimate basket. He also had some timely steals in OT after Sabonis fouled out. The Kings survived great Clippers shooting and horrible officiating to win the game. Unreal. Lastly, what was Lue thinking? At the end of regulation you cannot let the Kings take a 3. Not the way they were shooting it all night. You have to foul. Also, the Clippers last possession...how does Kawhi not touch the ball? It goes from Powell to Batun iirc. What was Lue thinking? Was he thinking at all. Glad to have Brown in our corner.
Westbrook's man is Harrison Barnes when that shot goes up.... The defensive breakdown was from Norman Powell biting way too hard trying to trap the baseline, n really thats an exellent play by De'Aaron, which is really where the credit is due. Fox used the baseline masterfully in the clutch in this game, n on this particular play Fox not only baits him but also manages to wait til the very last second to make him pay the most, suspending Powell into stasis in no mans land.
This is why I kinda dont get the whole "lets hate on the other teams players" shtick. In doing so you take away from the honest effort our players put forth. In this particular situation as well, the movement of our offense is running the Clippers defense ragged n so Coach Brown deserves some credit as well, on the play in question we look like by-far the more well prepared team.
It's a pretty good effort there by Westbrook actually, even as he closes out he's still trying to maintain his defensive integrity in the passing lane to Harrison Barnes. If Westbrook were to run straight at monk instead of the first few steps towards Barnes n then redirect towards Monk as he did, Monk simply passes the ball to Barnes for an even more wide open 3, so IDK how u could really fault Westbrook here, he was stuck between a rock n a hardplace n tried his best.
Furthermore if Westbrook is supposed to be in the corner there, that leaves Batum and Morris who are up near the FT line already, stretched even further from being able to box out or deter any last second tip in..

Yes, you can watch any replay. The game from last night is up and ready for you. I don’t know your financial situation, but if you can reasonably afford it without having to stop buying food for a week you NEED to subscribe right now. For anyone that loves the kings and is out of market it’s a complete no brainer investment.
