[Game] Kings vs Spurs at G1C Monday 11/12 7:00 PM PT

Had to get that one. A tough stretch is coming up. Big time tough. I mean like total meat grinder level.

 

[kingdivac]

Fantastic win. Bogie fitting right back in, Fox continuing to be the floor general this team needs, Buddy with some great early offense, Bjeli back to doing clutch things, Willie rebounding well, and Giles finally havinf some real success.

MBIII had an off night but who cares when the Kings finally beat the Spurs.

A good way to salvage a homestand. Their upcoming
schedule will really shine a light on the team - not easy. The goal is still .500 - they have to maintain their current winning percentage. W-L-W-L-W-L....that would be ok.

Why is Gay booed? I understand not applauded due to the trade request/basketball hell comments.

Takes me back to a couple years ago and those Cousins/Gay teams where his jersey was all over Power Balance

He said some not so nice things after the trade and if I recall he also said something his first game back.

Wonder how he feels now.

 

[The Hammer]

My Big Takeaway from this game is that Doug Christie was born for this. I predict he will have a thriving second career, a 20+ year tenure as the Kings color man.

Also, he helps to balance Mr. Negative, Grant Napear. They're a good team.

 

[kingdivac]

I’ll take Shump when he plays D and never ever takes stupid shots. Lol

It's actually easy to do and liberating - to only focus on defense. Problem is the other team keys off other players then on the offensive end.....

 

[SLAB]

Giles did that on a B2B for him. Has to feel good.

Hopefully he gets minutes again when Kosta heals up.

Man oh man.

The Spurs may not be a powerhouse anymore, but they’re still a solid mid-tier playoff team headed by Coach Pop.

And the Kings just straight up beat them. No injuries. No “rest.” No other funny business. The Kings just straight up beat the Spurs in a game of basketball.

Love it.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

Fox is shooting 60 % from three over the last 5 games... His power level is over 9000

This is the game that the pro level observers were waiting for, with good reason. You see this and you change your game plan vs. us.

Anyone else weirded out by the fact that this game was pretty much never in doubt? We literally controlled this thing from start to finish. I haven’t been this confident since we had Bonzi and Artest

 

[Chupacabra]

That Bjelica jersey on the teamstore website is looking mighty crispy right about now.

Interesting that Spears is there. Wonder if he’s doing a feature on is.

Spears has been the one national guy constantly in the Kings corner this season. Lives in the Bay so he's able to get out to games and he posts the Vlade dancing .gif after every Kings victory.

Wait Popovich believes in winning culture? I thought it was just losertalk poppycock

 

[The Hammer]

And I just found out school is closed tomorrow!!! This night keeps getting better!!!!

Shoutout to Iman Shumpert for defending DeRozan about as well as you can. DeRozan did most of his damage when Shump was off and ended up under his season average.

it's always words of wisdom when Pop speaks of another team. He spoke highly of Bogs last season and now the culture here, that means a lot from one of the greatest to ever do it.

 

[netseee]

Too bad Harry Giles is still in foul trouble

He's like the vet we thought we were getting when we signed George Hill.

SSJ3 is within reach afterall

 

[Tetsujin]

He's like the vet we thought we were getting when we signed George Hill.

And he's still only 28.

 

[KingKong]

Shump may sometimes be a black hole on offense, but the grit and tenacity he brings on defense seems to be rubbing off on the rest of the players.

If Popovich isn't a hall-of-fame coach, I dont know who is....

 

[kingsboi]

And he's still only 28.

I don't want to jinx it but he is good for an injury every season since entering the league, maybe the trend has changed for a contract season?

 

[Cojc]

I really think we played well and was impressed for most of the game. We do some dumb things and lost some decent leads but this team has no quit in them.

Giles gave us a good productive run and very happy for him as he made a difference. And Fox delivers again.
Our back court when clicking is going to give the league fits. When you have 3 guys who can create their own shots and hit them like they are someone is going to be open.

Good game guys!!!
