I saw some things tonight that we have all seen before, there was a sequence in the 4th where Darozan took the ball in solo 4 times in a row and came away empty, while the rest of the Kings stood around watching, hoping this "star watching" changes with time, Fox appeared to be favoring his right hand again, rubbing it more then once like it bothered him, also Fox appeared to disappear late game, cant help but wonder if he wasnt 100%, we have seen this before,, Sabonis again was a different player second half then he was first half, there were other things but these few have been past issues as well. Not for nothing, but Sabonis and Monk missing those two FT's in the end kinda stung when you see the final score difference by 2 points...(yeah it aint that simple, but still hurts) There were things to like as well, but I will save those for when we win! Good to see you Deuce and Mo , back in the saddle again! Light the Beam! (Eventually) "Let's Frigging go!" (But I didnt say Frigging)....
NBA season is back! D&M postgame livestreams are back! But damn! I was really hopeful for a Kings win to start off the 24-25 season. I'll try not to jump to conclusions based on one game (though i can see the proverbial ledge in the distance ;)), but some things that stand out just from tonite - Minutes allocation crazy (yes, Brown postgame acknowledged, makes sense that some experimentation is going to be required) - Reasonable to think both Huerter and Lyles will need some time to get fully engaged and comfortable - Demar's game is what it is, he's a smart player, I hesitate to say it but I will anyway, its sort of ISO oriented and seems at times to interrupt pace and flow - Collectively, the offense and defense looked disjointed at times - 3 players with 20+ pts, 21 total assists, 9 TO's and we still lose the game. On to game 2, Beat LA!
My big concern is , the Thunder look so good. Our title window will never open with OKC running the West for half a decade. Once we get that long power forward, and move DRoz to the 2, and Keegan to the 3 (in the off-season or deadline), we are going to need a 2nd thing, an OKC injury in 25-26/26-27. *Unless Devin is him.. but wil still need a long 4
I'm not mad at all with keegs shooting the last shot. If he read the double right away quick pass to Sabonis! He was butt naked in the paint. Literally Sabonis had the whole paint to himself. Easy layup if you freeze it at 2.3 seconds enough time. Again not mad it's a quick bang bang play. Looking at the schedule next 5 games very capable going 5n0 being objective I can see 4n1. So 5n1 or 4n2 should be our record.
People might be wondering why shots were falling short in the 4th, well I'll say what no one wants to say, 43+ mins for DeRozan ( older player) is the cause of this and i realize people think we got pieces back so bench is ok ? No our bench is thin in terms of talent hence the kings looking like if Thibbs is coaching us. Kings have an identity crisis and have to find and stick with it, yes getting to the line a ton of times is great but it also slows down the game the moment and teams can capitalize on each free throw break.
I love seeing media ppl hate their social media fans, social media encourages toxic nonsense. There should be a competency requirement to post on any social media platform.
sorry i missed the live you two. was elbow deep in flux and solder.. the only concern i have thus far (it's early) is the lack of assists from domas. i've watched every game since '88. if there is one identity with the team over the years that goes hand in hand with wins, it's sharing the basketball.. wouldn't want to see a step in the wrong direction..
Sacramento Kings “Numbers Don’t Lie!” T-Wolves took 50 three pointers! King took 29 three pointer! In the todays NBA, you have to take 3s! SMH the Kings biggest weapon is the 3 ball!!! Demar & Keegan played 43 minutes? Malik played 26 minutes! Malik has to play over 30 minutes a game. Malik should be starting!!! But, if he doesn’t start he has to play over 30 minutes. The Kings owner should make this point clear to Monte and Mike!!! Malik is still the most important player on this team. “Last night in the 4th quarter the ball should have been in Fox and Malik hands on every position!!!” Demar took 18 shots! Not good! The guy shooting 2s does not need to lead team in shot taken. SMH! Teams will let Demar shoot away! Boston took 61 three pointers vs the Knicks!!! Yes the Celtics are the Champs. To win in this NBA u have to take 3s! Observation, the 2nd unit should be Fox, Malik, Keegan, Trey, and Alex!!! Let this squad play some minutes together MIKE! This allows Keegan to play the 3 spot, and Alex gives the team RIM PROTECTION!!! “The owner of the Kings need to take Monte and Mike to get Eye Exams! The NBA is about big TEAMS!! Last night, when the T Wolves went Big, they dominated the KINGS! Yes! the T-Wolves played both of their Centers together! T Wolves especially Ant knew, with Sabonis playing center, he could attack the Rim any time he wanted to. Sabonis is not a RIM PROTECTOR! This is not news, everyone in the NBA knows this! End of Game Execution! Lets put the Ball in Fox and Malik hands!!! Demar forcing up shots is not going to work, and plus he is taking tough 2s! Not smart. Fox and Malik are the best closer on the Kings, because they can pass and shoot the 3 ball. Closing time last night was a train wreck, the Kings don’t need to watch Demar take tough 2 pointers. I repeat the Celtics took 61 three pointers!!! If game 2 features Demar leading the team in shots and Malik playing less than 30 minutes the Kings will probably lose again!!! SMH
What did you think of Game 1?
I liked what I saw gotta give props to Randle he had a great game is what it is
I think we were 10 Isaac Jones minutes away from a win!
The Sacramento Kings kitchen has a sign that reads ALL YOU CAN EAT. When the wolves needed 2 at the end of the game, where did they attack?

"Let's Frigging go!" (But I didnt say Frigging)....

Lol y’all energy is great

Congrats on 5 years! If the kings had secured the 3rd quarter, they would have been fine. I liked what I saw

Huh?
Cute "CHILDFREE" shirt.
Could they just pretend they don’t have Huerter on the roster?

Kings are going to have trouble if they only score 11 3s a night. Nearly impossible to win NBA games that way.
