[SLAB]

These last few minutes should confirm … never play Fordpinto ever again.

 

[Tetsujin]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan how do three people miss that rebound. This comeback was ours until that moment.

Queta doesn’t know how to rebound

These last few minutes should confirm … never play Fordpinto ever again.

Team’s looked better with headband guy at point guard instead of him

 

[Ozymandias]

Please let Matt Coleman start at PG next game...

Team would look better playing 4 on 5.

 

[SLAB]

Dude travelled like 10 feet from where he caught that.

 

[dude12]

What the? Travelled

 

[Tetsujin]

Houstan took like a bajillion steps Lmao

 

[HndsmCelt]

I got appreciate the fight and these guys. Don't appreciate the calls

 

[captain bill]

Is back court not a rule in SL??

 

[SLAB]

I think the refs are like “Dear god no, we’re not doing OT. HE GOT THE TIME OUT! Totally clean!”

 

[TaxMan]

I can’t wait to see the 2 minute report on this on. Hmmph

 

[Ozymandias]

what is happening?!?!?!

do the refs have money on Orlando or something?

 

[captain bill]

This squad playing with more heart than the Kings did almost all of last year

 

[Tetsujin]

Lol pure chaos

 

[SLAB]

COMEBACK OF THE DECADE LETS DO THIS

 

[Sluggah]

Keeping those championship dreams alive!

 

[TaxMan]

Hahahaha

 

[SLAB]

Bravo on the coaching staff to remind the 8 second play in effect instead of immediately fouling.

 

[Tetsujin]

Uhh shouldn’t there be more time on the clock?

 

[TaxMan]

I love how the refs didn’t call the 8 second count until 10 seconds

 

[SLAB]

Dang.

 

[Tetsujin]

Refs miss the push in the back. Not sure why the Kings didn’t call a play for Keegan there.

 

[dude12]

Keon Ellis looks good…..can be a future rotation guy if he continues to knock down 3’s

 

[Sac.Kings]

C'mon, fellas - he's a ROOKIE who hasn't even played his first NBA game yet. A rookie who showed remarkable growth as a player just last year - which is to say that to think a 22-year-old as diligent as Murray is too old to significantly improve his game is nonsense.

In a league chockfull of guys like George, Gobert, Middleton, Gasol, Booker, Murray, Leonard, etc. etc. who were't even drafted in the first-5 and are multiple-time all-stars (or likely to be), feels a little early to make pronouncements about "never."

If Murray hits Middleton level of play, we absolutely hit the ball out of the park with this pick. I’m not saying Murray won’t improve, of course he will. He’s a hard worker by all accounts and he will improve with experience and as he grows more into his body.

You have to look at a player’s strengths though. Players have flamed out of the league trying to be something they just aren’t or teams asking too much. Murray can’t be a number one option, he doesn’t have the skill set. He doesn’t have the dribble, the vision to get others involved, or to create for himself when needed. What he is is a systems guy and this isn’t a bad thing. A good offense will make him look great along with the proper role. I see Murray in a Peja type of role. If the offense was catered to him, he could average 20 plus down the line, but as it stands he’s 4th option on offense right now.

Don’t get me wrong, I am pumped about him, but I can’t expect him to go Kevin Durant out there because that’s not him. He’s a Rashard Lewis, Peja, Middleton type of mold and those are/were some great players.

 

[SLAB]

OMGGGGGGG HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

 

[Tetsujin]

KEEGAN

 

[HndsmCelt]

F you to the refs!
