Im done: this is unwatchable

never a doubt in my mind

 

[Kingz19]

What a massive win. Two separate 20+ point deficits and down double digits in the fourth.

They aren’t broken yet.

Kings showed a lot of pride tonight

 

[SacTownKid]

The Kings might be reliant on jacking 3's but thank goodness they aren't the Hawks. Talk about throwing **** at the wall, lol.

 

[Woot!]

35 assist, 12 TOs.

Nice.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

so we definitely suck again? wth is this

Good job Hawks.

 

[gunks]

Well... I'm officially glad that I checked the score again when it got close in the 2nd half haha

 

[ick300]

Well that was I new one
We battled from disaster start for the win
Good job !!!

 

[KF8]

So glad i never turned this one off when kings were down big lol

 

[The_Jamal]

What a god damn concept. Malik Monk as the initiator was absolutely dominant and got Fox as clean of looks as he's gotten in the 4th quarter as he's seen the last 2 years. Just freaking commit to it. 33+ MPG for Monk

 

[BenchMob]

Credit Coach Brown for making adjustments during the half, esp the defense

 

[forza kings]

Give all the credit to Len and Duarte for this one.

 

[SacTownKid]

Well that was I new one

Good job !!!

De'Aaron Fox simply refused to lose. Monk and Lyles kept the Kings from total disaster early and Fox took over from there.

 

[G_M]

1st quarter replies for the win

 

[Woot!]

Trae Young is ridiculous. Stooooopid shots from the parking lot - and exactly at the times they needed good looks. Wanted to mano-a-mano w/Fox. Good luck with that.

And the dude's a 35% career 3-pt shooter. Shot 33.5% last year from 3.

Not exactly Cap'n Deadeye. Super overrated.

 

[Krunker]

Ugly first half but the team stuck with it! Some strong bench play, hopefully a good confident boost we can pull one out even when down big.

 

[SacTownKid]

Credit Coach Brown for making adjustments during the half, esp the defense

He threw the Hawks scheme on Monk and Fox back in their face in the 2nd half and it worked hahaha. Snyder is going to have a hard time watching footage of this one. Beat at your own game.

Duarte DPOG?
Brown coached his ass off
We remembered how to play
Winning > Losing

I’m glad I stayed clear of the thread

How many of y’all suffered through that whole thing like I did with the huge pay off?

Our threes are at least the product of some sort of offense. The Hawks entire offense is pretty much just one of their guard dribbling the air out of the ball and then either jacking up a three because they feel like it or tossing the ball to a teammate with like a second left on the shot clock so they have no choice but to shoot the threee.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

lol Keegan with more absurd defense on Trae

Keegan had his Harry Dunne moment, in the last minute or so.

 

[est.1999]

Nice win and comeback, ladies and gentlemen!!

The fact that De’Aaron Fox is now a better shooter than him from beyond the arc is sorta ridiculous lol

 

[LoungeLizard]

This one is going to be fun to go back and read through

 

[iowamcnabb]

I kept thinking, they are right on the verge of getting back in this and then Atlanta would bank a three in, we would give up a long rebound for second chance points or someone would sling a wounded duck across the court for a turnover. Didn’t really like some of Fox’s three but can’t argue with the final result.

 

[gunks]

Can we start Monk plz...

He has awesome chemistry with Fox and Domas, and Kevin might find some consistency off the bench.

I think that move will give Monte some more time to figure out the "HB problem"

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

My favorite kind of Kings games are the ones that allow me to go to bed at a reasonable hour.

They've got to be one of the teams this year that picks a direction. Their roster is somewhat hodgepodged. Siakam would make some sense for them but I'm not sure they have the pieces. If they give up Jalen Johnson I think that's a mistake, if that even gets it done of course. Hopefully that Kings pick won't be worth a lot and IIRC they gave up a stupid package for Murray already. If Jalen lives up to his potential they might have someone for a post Trae Young world. A lot of F's that Monte should look into on that roster though.

I got a little work done in the garage and just listened for a bit in the third came back when it was within single digits again.

The instant we took the lead it was over. If you watched the Arizona - OU football game yesterday it was kind of similar where Arizona gave up 24 straight points and was DOA and then they got a pick 6 and the entire game turned on a dime and OU never did a single thing right again.

The minute the Hawks gave up the lead they were so deflated and resorted to trash 3 ball and nothing went in. We've seen too many games where we defend well but the other team hits miracles so this was so rewarding to see it pay off. Seeing Trae get his comeuppance on the cheap foul hunt was the dagger. And Keegs was just awesome when he made him lose his handles. lol. over on twitter some are whining about his offense for some reason it's like hello have you seen him play D?

That is true
