Jesus

 

[SLAB]

Sabonis ran right into him. Lol

 

[iowamcnabb]

Get that ******* out of the game. Pathetic flop

 

[coolhandluke]

Love the energy of the Kings crowd no matter what. They deserve better.

 

[fansinceday1]

What the hell was Sabonis doing?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Pj thinks everything is funny

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Being in the penalty with five minutes to go in the quarter is suboptimal for a team trying to overcome a 23-point deficit.

 

[gunks]

Well, it's a bit more interesting haha

 

[SLAB]

So… what are we going to have to attach to Sabonis to get someone to even take him?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Well, on a scale of 1 to 'Prove it,' how are you liking the Kings' effort so far this quarter?

Given it’s the kings, prove it

 

[SLAB]

Well, it's a bit more interesting haha

Dante Exum says, “Na.”

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Carter has given up 4-6 points trying to press and getting beat with ease

 

[gunks]

So… what are we going to have to attach to Sabonis to get someone to even take him?

Probably one of the 1sts we got for Fox haha

 

[Makaveli]

Will we even have a pick?

If we hit in the lottery

 

[SacTownKid]

Too big of a hole most likely.

 

[Caccia]

Going under screens has been Keon’s MO for most of the season though. He does it to try to bait guys into throwing the ball into a lane he can get his hands on but when the ball gets to his guy it leaves him wideass open.

If that's the case, why does everyone think he is such a great defender?

 

[Tetsujin]

Domas calling for the ball but his teammates refusing to give it to him honestly sorta justified tonight lmfao

 

[TaxMan]

So… what are we going to have to attach to Sabonis to get someone to even take him?

Honestly….i know people don’t want to hear it, but $140M over the next three years does not look good.

 

[Tetsujin]

If that's the case, why does everyone think he is such a great defender?

Because when it works, it really works. When it doesn’t work, Keon ends up looking like Buddy Hield lol.

 

[TheMobb]

Missing Malik badly here. Need a dynamic scorer and playmaker on the perimeter with their size up front.

 

[SacTownKid]

If that's the case, why does everyone think he is such a great defender?

Make no mistake he's very good at what he does. He's not a classic stopper, he's a pest. He's like KCP in a lot of ways but not quite as big. Keon gets beaten off the dribble quite a bit, but as a help defender or playing passing lanes he's awesome. That's why he and Carter and Keegan need to be playing together.

Watch a really good team and organization end up with him, right when he's in his prime with more experience

 

[iowamcnabb]

Get it to 15 please

 

[Letsgokings13]

Murray is weak and not aggressive.

 

[Caccia]

DeRozan giving it his all, leading by example.

 

[Tetsujin]

PJ Washington also an all-time Kings killer lmfao

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

DeRozan giving it his all, leading by example.

You can never accuse him of giving up. Always gives it a full effort. A true pro's pro

 

[Tetsujin]

Why are our catch and shoot guys passing up open threes to try suicide drives at the rim?

 

[TheMobb]

Has Trey ever converted on a drive or made a play off the bounce? I think he should be strictly catch and shoot or swing it

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

There some guys who fall down on purpose for almost every single shot.....and it leads to a 4 on 5 the other way every time they miss
