"Pacific Division Champion" got a ring to it if the math is right...

 

[Spike]

I take a phone call with the Kings up 9 and struggling and I come back and they're almost up 40.

What happened??

Must have been some call.

the 3 ball heated up

 

[Krunker]

Lots of bricks here in garbage time

 

[Krunker]

Light the beam chants in moda!

 

[KainLear]

Kayte and Jones are talking about us clinching the Pacific Division...but I don't think that's right.

That's what I was thinking so I went to check...

 

[Spike]

Ok. That was a nice take by Dozier.

Even if Phoenix loses tonight, they end up with the tiebreaker and we still need one more result.

I didn't watch this one but I noticed Alex Len got the backup C minutes this game and last game too I believe.

So it seems like the coaching staff is experimenting here, and the timing is interesting because playoffs are coming up and I'm assuming they don't feel comfortable enough with Lyles/Metu manning the backup C position come playoff time.

I'm assuming because they know playoffs will be more physical so they want more of a bruiser in there.

What do you guys think?

That's more or less how we feel as well. He did well tonight, possibly DPOG-well.

 

[Caccia]

No one played more than 27 minutes. Just what the doctor ordered.

Did I see Mike Brown wearing grey Vans Old Skools? I think we might have a coach worth hanging onto.

 

[kingdivac]

Playoffs!

 

[gunks]

Lame first half. Fox was killin me out there.

Kings need to do a better job of respecting their opponent.... And blow them out by at least 20 on their home court!

Whoa fellas, that was an over correction back to disrespect!! My goodness!!

 

[KainLear]

Whoa fellas, that was an over correction back to disrespect!! My goodness!!

That's the kinda tough love the 1st-half Kings needed.

I think they realize that against the bigger centers, especially if Sabonis gets in foul trouble, that Len can be useful. I wouldn't want to have only Metu and Lyles to use against Adams, Gobert, Zubac, and Jokic

I flipping love Monte McNair.

uninspiring. First, we better freaking win this game. Portland is trying hard but not good. Second, I don’t necessarily care if we blow them out by 20+, but I at least want to see us blast them to start the third and then keep things at a comfortable double digit lead.

I lied. I’ll take a 40 point win.
