[Capt. Factorial]

Domas aiming for the ignominious quadruple double tonight

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Defense back to being super late on rotations, crazy.

 

[Remi]

Domas + Malik working nicely

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Monk tried to get too cute on that breakaway.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Live look at Capt. when Monk missed the layup on the steal and breakaway leading to a wide open three attempt:

At least the shot was missed.

 

[SacTownKid]

It does feel like that Domas midrange jumper would be automatic if he wasn't so hesitant on it.

 

[KF8]

might have to start doubling adebayo. Kings cant stop him, plus he's the only legit offensive threat out there. Make someone else beat you.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

We are on pace for 30 turnovers

 

[Tetsujin]

Keegan and Kawhi accidentally swapped operating systems last night.

 

[gunks]

I dunno how we're up after that sloppy 1st, but I'll take it!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Nice little run there at the end of the quarter, but WAY too sloppy with the ball for the first 10 minutes.

Monk trying for the "And 1" and getting zero.

 

[Caccia]

Workmanlike first quarter, except we are shooting 5-9 from deep.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Good thing Murray kept the Kings afloat long enough for the defense to wake up.

 

[Woot!]

I dunno how we're up after that sloppy 1st, but I'll take it!

Indeed. Given the 7 turnovers, which is more surprising: the 33 pts or the 1-pt lead?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Fox scores in like 7 seconds

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Fox Speed is such a weapon

 

[Woot!]

I hear that "Malik" means "bouncy" in Arabic.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

 

[Tetsujin]

Fox, Monk, and Bam all dominating in the same game. Just like in college.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Huerter with the cut, then shuts down the Jaquez drive, then the drive for FTs - nice sequence

 

[Tetsujin]

Mike Brown playing some of these crazy 4 guards plus Trey lineups this season whereas last season he refused to play anyone other than Metu at the backup five spot for most of the year.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

might have to start doubling adebayo. Kings cant stop him, plus he's the only legit offensive threat out there. Make someone else beat you.

On the contrary, Adebayo's career high is only 41. Guard him straight up and stay home on everybody else. I don't think that Edrice can score enough by himself to beat the Kings, but if he can get Jaquez and Robinson and Martin and Highsmith going...

 

[Tetsujin]

Crazy that Haywood Highsmith ran over a dude and got the guys leg amputated like two weeks ago and managed to miss like zero games since.

 

[TheMobb]

Huerter looks like he’s forcing or too eager to shoot? Not sure what it is. Start of the game he shuffled his feet and traveled trying to get up 3 up quick, now rushes a shot wasn’t even set and is a few feet short.

 

[gunks]

Keegan on a heater

 

[Tetsujin]

The Heat resting Bam apparently

 

[Woot!]

Wasn't set, plenty of shot clock... bad shot.
