[Game] Kings vs. T-Wolves 2/09/22 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[dude12]

Sabonis with a quiet 10 points, 6 boards, 5 assists at half.

Triple double watch

 

[Tetsujin]

I’m just going to consider that first quarter as their ‘practice’

Once De'Aaron dribbled the ball off Sabonis's foot, there was really nowhere to go but up

 

[The_Jamal]

Even more impressive is how damn good the offense looked with Holiday/Lamb combining for 2-10 from 3. Kings absolutely looked like they were channeling the golden era with all the beautiful back-cuts and ball movement to find great shots and they've had 0 practice time together.

 

[King-Da-Yah]

My youngest: “10 is my new favorite guy!”

me: “same bro, its the hair….”

 

[Livinthedream]

It's nice NOW. Smart knows smart.

Game recognize game. Smart of Monte to decide to hold onto Barnes. Kings kept getting coaches who run the Warriors system, but not enough of the players. Barnes, Holiday, Jones are vets of the system. Sabonis fits right in.

 

[miltonap]

Also, Fox is playing very intelligently. His bball IQ definitely isn't bad

 

[Woot!]

Sabonis with a quiet 10 points, 6 boards, 5 assists at half.

Sheeee-it - not *so* quiet. I'm pretty sure every damn one of us was tracking what he was putting out. Talk about a guy who elevates everyone around him. Not just him either. COMPLETELY different energy and movement out there tonight.

 

[captain bill]

42 points in that quarter. Wow

 

[cwebb2002]

What a crapty trade to actually get a real all star! Why get a player who makes everyone else better and can actually rebound and bail you out on questionable plays. Why pair such a talent with someone who no one in the league can stay in front of and pulls bigs away from your other players?

This dude’s high pitched drum thing is bugging my dog.

That's the thing about Barnes, they want to run high post, well, he's the guy that already knows it inside and out from his time with the Dubs. Watch his cuts and it's like an old glove.

Yep. There were rumors the Warriors were making a play for Sabonis and you can see why. He and Draymond at the horns with Curry and Thompson playing off them would be unstoppable.

He even mentioned that he's used to playing with a passing big from playing with Bogut on the Warriors.

And played a lot lot minutes with 3 all new players, haha. Kings basketball is such an anomaly.

 

[TaxMan]

Sabonis with a quiet 10 points, 6 boards, 5 assists at half.

Quiet, yet seems like he’s in the middle of everything.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

It's the vision and passing that is most impressive. Fundamentally sound players are not as common as they used to be

 

[Noble]

Sabonis is such a natural fit game 1. Man, him, HB, and, Fox are almost unguardable when they move it around.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Side note, did "K9" get the axe?

 

[miltonap]

HB definitely needs to stay now. He really fits well with this vision imo.

Saaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmeeeee….poor Bo the puppy

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Not to be a total wise ass and I am still warming up to this new team but this is the difference between someone who will be really good and someone who already is.

 

[cwebb2002]

Btw fox dropped 15 in the 2nd quarter... Just saying for everyone who has written him off.

 

[Entity]

It may be an apparition but metu is playing the role of exactly what is needed with Damas. Just be there when he needs you and you’re golden

Him playing two years in the Spurs system really helping him here. That entire system is entirely predicate on dudes running around like their heads are on fire.

Looks like he's about to turn Metu into a legit NBA cutter/ rim runner

 

[Noble]

If someone could just hit some threes we'll beat them convincingly

 

[pdxKingsFan]

If Sabonis unlocks Olympic Metu it's gonna be special.

 

[bball_nomad]

New era: Fox leader / Sabonis co-pilot.

Fox - driver, Sabonis 1000 hp turbo engine

Only shows 2 assists but I swear there were a few more. He seems to be looking to pass a bit more.

People sorta forget but he played off of Bam a bit in Kentucky so it's not like he's never played off of a bigman before.
