DeRozan needs a statue

Just don't call the guy that did the DWade one.

The slander by the "media experts" and even Kings fans was nauseous at times. I think DeMar has shown enough already.

I still can’t get over the ppl who thought he was a downgrade vs HB cuz of “spacing”

There’s an alternate universe out there where the Kings traded a bunch of stuff for Brandon Ingram and are probably struggling their asses off right now. Thankfully, it’s not this one.

Lots of Keon primary ball handler touches in this quarter

Keon reminds me of Doug Christie in some aspects. A reliable ball handler under pressure and an excellent defender with strong fundamentals.

The idea that teams would just leave the man open off ball and ruin the offense’s spacing just never made any sense to me. No good coach is going to ever leave a stone cold killer like DeRozan wide open.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Feels good to actually get the starters out at the end.

 

[The_Jamal]

Keon and Keegan just have to close. Their defensive ball pressure just changes the game.

He's hitting a couple 3's a game now. Go ahead and leave him open. I'll take as many good shots from him as we can get

But it’s not like teams are leaving him open. He’s hitting tough contested shots like he always has. But if you’re the opposing coach, there’s no way it would make sense to sag off one of the best scorers out there

4 blocks for Len tonight

Pics that go hard for 1000, Alex.

(Also, even though it’s corny, it’s stuff like this that actually help ingratiate Vivek to his players and staff.

Mike said maybe one day they would play Keegan at the 5. That would be interesting, kinda like when the Suns do it with Durant

 

[NewArena]

That 4th quarter was a team that can most certainly experience success in the playoffs. That was so freaking cool to see, i needed this tonight. Light the Beam!! Btw, this was the first time in a while where i feel like our home crowd was just too much for the other team. The Raps looked SHOOK

 

[NewArena]

I think Keegan set the tone early on that we weren’t about to be punked on our home floor. He was doing it all and that kid is way tougher than i thought he’d be

Now we're REALLY talking

That's Brown talking a bit too much. Play him at the 2, before ever playing him as a 5

 

[NewArena]

When our offense even slightly shows some signs of life and it’s coupled with that defense, we look absolutely mighty. There are glimpses of something special, but it needs more time. But we very clearly had a gear that Toronto can’t come close to matching.

It legitimately looked like the Kings were toying with a G league team by the time they decided they were done messing around lol

Can’t tell who’s in between them? Master P??

well he played 5 in college. Keegan has a chance to be even bigger than he is right now just with age. I met his dad once and I was shocked how big he was not just tall. They have big frames. I think as an occasional small ball 5 it could work in bursts.

 

[iowamcnabb]

And just to add to that, the Rockets are doing that with Jabari Smith. He’s taller but similar

 

[sactowndog]

Wild. I guess that zany Coach Brown knows what he's doing after all!

That or Huerter playing against Jazz and Portland primarily might have some impact

He played 4 in college.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Sabonis with 13 assists to 0 turnovers

 

[iowamcnabb]

He played 4 in college.

He played a lot of 5 his second year with his brother at the 4. I watched all of his games.

I'd rather see Keegan at the 2 before the 5.. we don't need him to start developing big-man skills. Make him develop as an elite wing please....

 

[whitechocolate]

Sabonis looks a lot better since the first two games. At first he kept standing in one spot without getting much of anywhere when defenders closed out on his look at a shot. Since, he's been putting the ball on the floor and driving to the rim.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

And just to add to that, the Rockets are doing that with Jabari Smith. He’s taller but similar

Not sure why we would want Murray to have to bang with stronger bigs, if he doesn't have to

It was a good win, but these Raptors are a GLeague team lol. They've got 3* out of 5 starters out due to injury. Barnes, Quickley, Brown, and Olynyk. Makes the first loss even more painful

 

[PorchSurfin]

Oh no please dont let it be another 20 point boucher game

Close. 17. Smh.
