[Game] Kings vs. Grizzlies - 3/18/2024 - 7PM PST/10PM EST

[Tetsujin]

Not too late for Keon to be DPOY

 

[iowamcnabb]

A defensive star is born

 

[gunks]

Keon is a demon haha

 

[Kingz19]

Keon and Herb Jones were probably a nightmare to deal with in college

 

[kingdivac]

Fairly apparent Ellis should strart

 

[SLAB]

Keon Artest-Leonard-Christie-Ellis.

 

[Kingz19]

Damn, RIP John Collins

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Fairly apparent Ellis should strart

and close

 

[macadocious]

These passes are so lazy

For the 3rd time…

 

[Tetsujin]

For the 3rd time…

Keon just needs to be 10% less wild on offense lol

I hate that they called that last foul on JJJ, Malik was going in for that dunk no matter what! Ruined another Keon block leads to Malik monster slam highlight reel. Would have been 2!

 

[kingdivac]

Can extend Ellis in the offseaon on the cheap......

[coolhandluke]

Did we just find DCII?

DC 2.0 with a three point shot.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Nearly everything went wrong: and ones, missed threes, bad turnovers, no offense. That Domas play was throw your shoe at the tv bad. But we won dagnammit.

That Keon block on Trippy McTripperson was one of the defensive plays of the year for us.

 

[KF8]

keon ellis reminds me of alex caruso with his defense. He could score 5 points but his defense impacts the game big time.

Yeah, I'd seriously consider that. This dude is the real deal and has the ability to be the best defensive player in Sacramento history

Was already two. Would have been three lol

 

[NewArena]

We 100% lose this one if Desmond Bane doesn't play, that's the almost hilarious part, but the Grizzlies are usually tough no matter who's out there and you'd better be ready to play. I'm just happy we got it done.

and we 99% lose this, if Keon Ellis wasn't out there guarding Bane

Weren't the first two damned near back-to-back?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Can extend Ellis in the offseaon on the cheap......

No, an extension can only be signed after the second anniversary of the contract signing.

But he's on a three-year deal on the cheap, so let's enjoy that. We'll have Bird Rights at the end of it.

 

[chief bromden]

Been really enjoying this Malik season...now with Keon coming on, that's going to be an electric duo that can really affect big time games.

With the refs calling the game different now, it makes Keon just that much more dynamic on D

 

[The Effort Police]

Really this game had all the makings of their usual underperformance at home to bad teams, yadda yadda yadda.

But really, win or lose this would be an intriguing display with more implications beyond this year's standings and the playoff race. I think our laundry list of necessary trades just got a little shorter.

And being bargain bin talent locked up for two more years on the cheap helps our cap.

 

[kingdivac]

Rockets are sneaking closer to Warriors and Lakers - 3 back.....

Thankfully they didn't trade for Caruso, who was a popular target

It'd be so funny if they knocked one of them out and beat the other in the 9/10.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Would be nice if Fox could get the calls on those arm slaps. Maybe be needs to check his eyeballs after every foul like Lebron. Or flop like a fish like JJJ. Problem is Fox finds that just as annoying as us fans.

Hey at least if they're gonna call the game different there shouldn't be much of an adjustment period.

If this was someone like Ja, he'd look completely different.
