[Game] Washington Wizards @ Sacramento Kings, 12/18/2023, 7:00pm PST/10:00pm EST

Fox with only one assist in the half. He is supposed to be the point guard, even with Sabonis distributing the ball. Monk has five.

He passed it in the first quarter. It didn’t work

They call him a point guard, not a pass guard.

I like Morgan better than deuce. Her voice is great. I wouldn’t mind her as color commentator

Lol

They can get by with that against Washington, not against Boston.

Good thing that's who y'all are playing tonight, then.

Domas only has 2. What does that mean?

I need to see Sabonis vs Jokic in the playoffs. His redemption will be sweet.

I have wondered at times this season if there's as much of a gap between Sabonis and Jokic as the counting stats (and MVP awards) seem to indicate. Or more to the point, if Sabonis were on a team where he was the unquestioned top dog and was allowed to have a 31.8% USG rate and 19 shots per game, would he be in the MVP conversation every year too?

I don't think it matters -- we're obviously a better team with Sabonis and Fox -- that's just a very long-winded way of saying that I don't think the general NBA fandom has caught on yet how special Sabonis is. He's regarded as a pretty good player but he's actually got a higher TS% than the Joker right now by virtue of his improved three point shot and last season he led the league in rebounds outright and finished 5th in assists. He's a phenomenal big man and maybe his best quality is that he doesn't hunt attention for himself and always seems twice as happy as everyone else whenever one of his teammates makes a big play.

 

[DynaPamm]

A fee minutes behind but love all the steals, Fox is on it I only wish someone could stop Poole loved the quick 3pt from Sasha

Is it kids night at the games? Looks like a daycare out there

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Nice to be playing a bad team and actually look clearly superior on the court rather than playing to their level.

he’s special but he would be really special if he was 7’1

 

[hrdboild]

If only he could play against Washington eighty-two times a year.

Oh, you mean like Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner?

(Okay sometimes it's Charlotte, Chicago, or Detroit, but same difference).

@Mr. S£im Citrus its a Norm MacDonald joke about the junior dancers on Star Search. Too obscure maybe.

It's an interesting question. I think Domas doesn't have that type of usg because he doesn't have nearly the amount of shots in his bag or moves that Jokic has. Jokic to his credit has like multiple unstoppable shots.

No School Winter break.

[Makaveli]

Keegan more proud of that post up than his 3pt barrage Saturday lol

More obscure than my joke about a TV show from 2005 that got cancelled after 13 episodes?

 

[hrdboild]

Somebody must have shown Mike Brown the Youtube!

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Keep feeding Keegs!

I don't think Domas can ever sustain a Jokic level scoring workload.. Which.. is fine! Jokic is a top 20 player if he retired tomorrow. I think a better historical context for Domas is actually our very own C-Webb and players in that range. Domas being a better passer, C-Webb a better scorer.
