[Game] Kings vs Thunder 1/20/2023 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[Capt. Factorial]

Keegan really started to look like a vet tonight. Love it.

 

[Woot!]

Hunh.

Kings are 3rd in the West. 5 games out of 2nd...and 5 games ahead of 11th.

issue they're gonna come upon now though is their lack of open roster spaces for those picks and some of their earlier picks coming up for extensions after they've already given SGA and Dort huge extensions. Giddey and Poku are gonna ask for extensions this summer and they might not be able to keep both at this point.

they can always call up Masai and try to free up some roster space to nab Pascal away or maybe make a play for Brad Beal

Oh no....the lit dancing man is back

Oh YES.... the lit dancing man is back

Hopefully not but it's possible.

OKC is going to be flat out scary on defense. Monte might have to look at the future and consider them as a potential threat down the line. Just not tonight.

no doubt. Their playing above their heads this season I think but maybe the youth movement and new coach are figuring it out faster than expected and they usually draft well so it's only a matter of time before they are competing year in and year out for playoff contention

Losing a full year of development for Chet was crushing for them. If they don't turn it around quick I think we're only a couple years away from trade buzz getting loud around SGA simply because they're wasting his prime with rebuilding years and he'll be right around the age where the years of losing will be wearing on him.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Thunder shot 57.1% from three and 50.0% from two
We shot 21.2% from three and 70.4% from two

I expect some regression to the mean, and it will be in our favor.

Thunder shot 12-21 from three-point range in the first half, 4-19 in the second half.

So...the last season we had multiple 6-game winning streaks was the year we would have won the championship if Webber hadn't blown his knee out?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Keegan with the same number of two point field goals as threes. I can’t imagine that has happened many times this year

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Rick DPOG!

 

[sauce-26]

Its crazy seeing the difference between the young teams we have faced recently in houston and okc. Houston has a lot of raw talent but is rudderless.

 

[kingsboi]

Mike Brown told Keegan he wants more rebounds from him and the message the last two games has been well received

Huerter sporting the DPOG chain tonight

Not saying I think he had a bad defensive game..but did I miss something?

Seriously, why do you make me look crap like this up? It has happened twice before tonight. One was a 1-and-1, one was a 2-and-2.

I don't think I've seen Sign Lady (or a Sign Lady sign, at least) in the background of the postgame before.

LMAO

 

[Kingz19]

Mike Bibby going to be a post game commentator. That can be interesting

I still miss the days of Bobby Jackson and his utter contempt for anybody who is the “Kings insider” like James Ham, but especially Bill Herenda that one season.

making up for last game maybe. I understand why Holmes got it and it was cool but I thought it was KVons best defensive performance

Make good for the Richaun Holmes “Hey you’re alive we’re gonna reward you and boost spirits!” DPOG last time when it probably should have been Huerter’s just on tape alone.

 

[sactowndog]

Exciting win. OKC was originally thought to be an easy win but that team is a tough out. Those back to back games at OKC won’t be easy.

So, Barnes and Huerter are listed as the same height (6'7"). In that shot, Barnes looks WAY WAY bigger. Huerter must be all legs.

Haven’t seen Bibby in a while. Last time I saw him, dude was SWOLE!

They probably have Huerter sitting on a stool too.

Can sauced up Brad Miller join them too?

Most definitely.
