Phoenix Suns announcers talking up Bagley fascinating.

 

[dude12]

Halliburton is playing at a high level

 

[Kingz19]

Payne is like GOATsides kyptonite at the basket. He got a few layups over him last game too

 

[Sluggah]

So much...ball movement...*wipes tear from eye*

 

[dude12]

Wow.....that Kings defense in that last play was something to see

 

[Sluggah]

So much...defense...*wipes tear from other eye*

 

[SLAB]

Whiteside rotates to keep PHX from getting a shot. That will never be mentioned. But be darn sure it will be shouted from the rooftops next time he botches a pick and roll.

 

[DesertFox]

They're just playing like a solid team on both sides.

 

[Tetsujin]

Not for nothing but CoJo looking far better this season on defense playing next to Tyrese Haliburton instead of noted defensive sieves Bogdan Bogdanovic or Buddy Hield

 

[KainLear]

Haliburton is so polished! How did he slip to us? This kind of good luck never happens to us in Sac-town...

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Amazing first quarter. These Kings know how to play. Nothing I've seen so far this year looks like a fluke. That Whiteside signing is looking like an amazing move.

 

[jcwkings]

I think Haliburton is already a better player than Bogi, and if not will be in short order. What a steal.

Great insight, and I agree.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

He had to have been a top 5 pick this year. I really don't get how we got him but ... I'm not gonna complain.

 

[Tetsujin]

Buddy and Hassan ran a pick and roll and the world didn't explode

Wasnt another strange myth that Bogdan was actually an excellent team defender or something?

 

[SLAB]

WHITESIDE WITH THE PERIMETER D ON CP3

 

[dude12]

Hali...oh my

 

[SLAB]

Haliburton is so good.

 

[SLAB]

Ayton.,, not impressed.

—

Ugly past few possessions. No ball movement at all.

 

[Tetsujin]

Bjeli with the rare dumb play

I can't believe we let him walk without securing a 2029 2nd round draft pick or a TPE!

 

[dude12]

Phx ties it but they got their guys in while we are still resting Fox, Bagley and Holmes......that’s going to pay off later

 

[KainLear]

If you tell me a few years ago that the prophecy says, the Kings must find their 2nd playmaker in order to be successful, I would never have thought it'd be Haliburton...

 

[DesertFox]

Bjeli with the rare dumb play

His ill advised drives always come when he doesn't get a shot up for a while.

 

[KainLear]

Is it too early to get a jersey after 3 games?

 

[SLAB]

Is it too early to get a jersey after 3 games?

It’s never too early for a Hassan Whiteside jersey.

 

[SLAB]

Barnes looks like a completely different player this year.

 

[KainLear]

Barnes looks like a completely different player this year.

Yeah, there were times last few seasons where he was performing well and still there'll be periods where you forgot he was still on the floor...

This year's Barnes seems much more physical and willing to contribute...

 

[SLAB]

Did Buddy Hield just do some plus-level dribbling without the ball careening into the fifth row off his foot?!
