This is Walton level.

Dumb fouls

 

[The_Jamal]

Playoff basketball here. Knicks are good, they were never going away. Kings got lazy and now it's burned them.

 

[King-Da-Yah]

Cooooooooooooooookkkkkkkkkiikiieeeeeeesssssssssss

 

[206Fan]

wow. what a 3rd quarter collapse

 

[Das_Boot]

Dumb fouls

Dumb just about everything the last few minutes.

 

[KF8]

we got complacent just chucking up threes which allowed the knicks to come back

 

[Kingz19]

Rebound the damn ball!!

 

[SacTownKid]

Monk giveth, Monk taketh. Credit to Thibs the Kings gave his team those outisde shots in the first half and Thibs changed his mind about taking them.

 

[The_Jamal]

Do we know they're in the bonus? What the hell is Monk doing with that reach in?

 

[Caccia]

Big-time basket by Davion at the end of the quarter.

 

[Livinthedream]

Kings thought they won in the first half.

 

[Tetsujin]

Big stop by Keegs. Davion with the pretty drive to end the quarter. Feels like we managed to weather the storm a bit. Now we just need to step on their necks and LTB

 

[kingdivac]

...brown refusing energy from bench.. so obvious...

 

[SLAB]

That layup was about a big a basket you can have in the third quarter. Needed a little *anything* to go out way after those last couple minutes.

 

[iowamcnabb]

thank you Davion. Both teams are already exhausted. Gotta pressure the hoop again

 

[Ozymandias]

theres some hilarious stat that covers like 20-30 years which demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt the Knicks ineptitude in the 3rd quarter..

IIRC the teams +/- in the 3rd q over decades running is like -3.5, which is really kind of amazing when you think about it to maintain for such a duration, but its true..

Well they just got some back on us. Lets close this out with a bang so we can forget about this 3rd q.

 

[KF8]

Fox has been quiet by his standards. We're gonna need his 4th quarter heroics

 

[HndsmCelt]

I'm wondering if there's a reason Fox is looking kind of gun shy about going into the paint.

We got this man, dumb kids in my section chanting light the beam…caused knicks to go on a run…im
Getting a lot of sideways looks from
casual sports fans right now…for yelling at them to wait until the final 2 minutes of Q4 chant….

I'm wondering if there's a reason Fox is looking kind of gun shy about going into the paint.

He got whacked in the head a few times and I think went to the bench for a minute after getting poked in the eye earlier in the first half. Maybe that?

 

[206Fan]

This team completely took their foot off the gas pedal on offense. Guys got lazy and forced terrible shots. we continued to give up offensive rebounds while also committing dumb fouls.

 

[Tetsujin]

Brad Miller being like the one glory day player to not take a job with the team but being the one seemingly attending every single game will never not be funny to me. Guy was Mr. Indiana before coming here.

Yeah, he needed to put a stamp there at the end of the 3rd, but was a no-show. Thankfully, it's 4th quarter time

Wrist?

 

[Kingster]

Like they think they're all that? Why can't it be that the Knicks are really good at offensive rebounding? It's not like they're fourth in the league, or anything...

Where is Fox in this game? Is he even in the building? I saw him with about 4.5 minutes in the first half and then he disappeared.

Brad doing it right tbh. No stress, get to go sit court-side for your old team, occasionally make a TV appearance. Be rich as hell. Sounds good

 

[Tetsujin]

Mike Brown hilarious

 

[HndsmCelt]

Wrist?

Maybe

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings playing four forwards and Davion.
