THE FOX AND THE OX AND THE FALCON AND DAVION
- Thread starter Tetsujin

I said this in the thread, but it sure as hell feels like it. The new guys played 90 minutes tonight with the team having absolutely 0 practice time and they looked like the were running the Princeton offense of the 2002 Kings to absolute perfection. We've haven't seen an ounce of the off-ball movement/cuts we saw tonight off the Sabonis looks and it looked to be especially contagious with Barnes/Metu/Holiday. The Davion/Sabonis and Fox/Sabonis both had outstanding 2-man game moments and the guards looked excited to work with him and get looks.
Sometimes, all it takes is the right mix of talent and personality on the team. It's pretty apparent that Sabonis is going to be contagious in a good way to his teammates. Hell, 24 hours ago I was ready to write this franchise off and now I can't wait until the next game. I remember when we got Vlade (the player, not the GM) and you could start to feel something special brewing. Kind of feels similar.
I'm going to be very cautious though....because we are, after all, the Kings.

Missed the game but I'll catch the next one for sure! And I'll probably get caught up in the hype if the Fox/Sabonis duo actually looks like a legit core...
...Keeping my plate of crow in the fridge until we win a playoff series though. Gotta set the bar higher than making the play-in if you trade a guy like Hali.
