[Game] (Preseason) Kings @ Warriors 7:00pm Pacific, 10:00pm Eastern 10/18/2023 (NBATV)

[Kingster]

If Keegan reaches his potential, I think he's going to end up being one of those guys who needs 20 shots to get 20pts.. but in a good way? He's a jump shooter who isn't ever really going to get a high volume of FTs

He's had a slam at the basket and punished the Warriors several times inside when they had a small on him. He's much, much better than a volume shooter.

Starters pulled the rest of the way?

 

[Caccia]

I hope the bench can hold on to this one. We have some real depth this season.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Malik has been sloppy tonight. Cmon bro

 

[Sluggah]

Colby. My dude.

 

[Sac.Kings]

The new flopping rules don’t apply to CP3, I guess.

Guys been flopping so long we all just think it’s how he plays 100% of the time. Wish he would just flop out of this league once and for all.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Gotta say, I got a few preseason chills haha

You mean like this?

 

[206Fan]

Starters pulled the rest of the way?

this game feels like it means something to the Kings... I think we'll try to get the win

This game has mostly been a joy to watch… good spacing, ball movement, and some of the best defense I’ve seen from any Kings team! When did Davion become a Three Machine??

McGee needs to get his arms up when contesting shots, Huerter needs to find other ways to try and score when the threes ain’t fallin, and Monk needs to practice inbounding the ball, but collectively this has been a very solid game.

 

[Tetsujin]

JAVALE!

 

[iowamcnabb]

Javale “Wemby” Mcgee

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

I like leaving Sasha in here to work through nerves and little things.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Put it on the poll, Juju: is Colby Jones already the best Sacramento King to wear #20 since Jon Barry?

 

[206Fan]

Maybe the Kings' defense is bad due to personnel? 35-year-old McGee is looking like one of the best defenders on the team tonight

 

[Larry89]

That Sasha three was so high it almost went off my screen

 

[Tetsujin]

Sasha has not looked good since the first two preseason games. The Kings, finally, have the luxury of bringing him along slow though.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I don't know about Vezenkov. Might take him a while to crack rotation

 

[MizzouKing]

Sasha has had a harder time acclimating than I expected, but by mid season I bet he’ll be a stone cold assassin from deep.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Sasha hype crashing a bit. He needs to find his shot.

 

[Sluggah]

Deja vu

 

[SacTownKid]

Same play out of the corner off short pick and roll.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Did I just see the Kings get burned twice on the same play?

 

[Caccia]

OK, can the starters hold the lead? They look cold.

 

[Tetsujin]

Fox Time

Is Vezenkov supposed to guard two players? Alex Len trailing the play and running right to the paint -- essentially guarding nobody -- looks like the source of the defensive breakdown.

EDIT: Actually make that JaVale McGee wearing 00.

 

[Tetsujin]

Is Dray wearing a hat with his own name on it?

 

[Tetsujin]

Saric gotta get a flop tech for that right?

 

[Sluggah]

Rough shooting night

 

[Tetsujin]

De'Aaron trying to fight CP3 in preseason. We fully back.
