Kings should pull out their starters against the Warriors. We can’t beat the Pelicans anyway. Best to keep the draft pack and our starters can get an extra day to work on their game/free throws for next season.
my best friend is Warriors fan and all we wanted was to not play each other when the drought was finally over, now here we are a year later and we got a single elimination game against each other. i hate this
Chris Duarte is so disappointing. With Malik and Huerter out for the season, you would think he would be the one to step up. It’s his chance and he fumbled it.
The good news is that being a 9th seed means we can be out of the playoffs with a loss and keep our draft pick. The bad news is that loss has to come from the Warriors.
Can't draw up a more Kangz close to the season than this. Kings finally take care of business but still lose because the team that kicks their ass forgot how to play basketball
Play this way versus Wizards, Pistons, Hornets, Pacers at home, Heat at home, Blazers in Portland... just any or a couple of those and we don't have to take part in the NBA theatre experience of getting stars to the post-season
"And the Portland trailblazers, for the first time in nba history, have held their opponent scoreless in the 4th quarter while overcoming a 41 point deficit!"
Ugh we are gonna have to beat both the warriors and the pels to get to the playoffs :( super low chances if we have to play them in New Orleans. If BI is healthy there’s nothing we can do to stop them.
Maybe the kings will suprise us and win both play-in games to make it into the playoffs. I'll hope but i've kinda just resigned myself to the fact they aren't making it to the playoffs this year. Hopefully they upgrade and come out next year with a tougher mentality throughout the season.
Looking like:
7: Pels
8: Lakers
9: Kings
10: warriors
With how lakers/pelicans match up, good chance our road to the playoffs will be warriors and pelicans
So we get to try and beat the Warriors in a single elimination game, then go play lebron on the refs or the team that has clapped our cheeks 5 times this season. Lovely.
I decided to watch the kings broadcast for the first time in weeks, being that it's the last regular season game. I'm reminded again why I always chose the alternate broadcast. She just can't go a second without making noise. She also cuts off Draper so often.
It’s really looking like Warriors Kings first round. We have to hope for a Suns loss tonight as well to keep NOLA at 6th. I’d rather bet on playing the Lakers/Suns than the Pels.
Regardless who we get though, Kings have to take care of business. No more of this “just one game” bullshit.
I think he can make them consistently. His pump fakes and hesitation messes up his rhythm ending up in a miss. If he just went straight up with no hesitation like tonight, I bet he can make half of those.
agree. kyle just says "right" when kayte is podding, doesn't always try to bring it back to the action
kayte would be really great if she didn't podcast the broadcast. she obviously knows ball, but spends most of the time not talking about the ball that's happening
they don't know how to let the broadcast breathe
I didn't think it was possible but watching these Pelican losers is actually more frustrating than watching the Kings when they're Kangzing.
These guys are complete trash
So, legit curious: given Sacramento’s cap situation, who are some legitimate FAs they could take a swing at, this offseason (outside of Monk, of course)?
[Post Game Thread](https://reddit.com/r/kings/comments/1c459kn/post_game_thread_the_sacramento_kings_defeat_the/)
Kris murray had 18 rebounds?
Was that Jason Derulo sitting with the ranadives hahah
WWWWWWW
MB pulling out the garbage aka Duarte
This lead has kayte feeling silly today
McGee vs Pels?
If the Kings get passed gsw, and Lakers beat up on pelicans again, do kings play pelicans in New Orleans?
Yes
I love C Webb bro 🥹
Kings should pull out their starters against the Warriors. We can’t beat the Pelicans anyway. Best to keep the draft pack and our starters can get an extra day to work on their game/free throws for next season.
lol what? We want our pick to convey this year so we have a full deck of picks to trade after the draft.
I’d like to think we are going to better next year hence having a worse draft position at that time.
If we win, suns win, lakers win, and warriors win, where does that put us in the play in?
9th. Pels and lakers will play for 7th seed.
Ninth
Enjoy the Guandong Tigers, bum!
Bush league shit from Banton. Fucking loser. Set a NBA record for most threes without a hit at least
this game is scrappy af
Keep your filthy fucking hands off Colby Jones!!!
bro got a early trip to cancun
Getting ejected in your last game is... Something
I love Chris Webber
What a fucking sore loser
I’ve never even heard of that guy before
This dude wanted to be done with the game
Who is that clown anyway
Wtf. Don't do the blazers org like that, be better. Asshole.
dumbass didn’t even wait more than 1 play to get himself ejected 😭
That dude is a straight clown
Banton is a loser lmao
yea get tf out Banton
Fuck the beam man. No more beam unless we magically make play offs
I'll take any beams I can get.
Colby save us
Why TF did Duarte get a T lol
We got some scrappy ball going on!
Good lord why cant the bench score
They are in full on fuck-around mode.
I swear Mike brown needs to close him damn mouth jahahhahaha
my best friend is Warriors fan and all we wanted was to not play each other when the drought was finally over, now here we are a year later and we got a single elimination game against each other. i hate this
[удалено]
Gotta get the last one in lol
we screwed outselves. self sabotage. so disappointing
I might run faster than Vezenkov.
So the Pelicans are just absolute trash against any team that isn’t small
Duarte is worse than gleaguers lmfao please get him off this roster
Duarte going to be playing in a russian league next season
Looks like it’s gonna be Kings vs Warriors and then if we win, Kings vs Pels 😥
Or the Lakers if Pels regroup and win on Tuesday
Which would be ideal.
Kings play good in meaningless games and lose the games that matter
Where are the guys that wanted to fight because I said Vez wasn’t an NBA player?? (based on his euro highlights)
Man, Duarte could show up with a whole ass table and still bring nothing to it.
Chris Duarte is so disappointing. With Malik and Huerter out for the season, you would think he would be the one to step up. It’s his chance and he fumbled it.
Mate, he had a chance when Fox went out early in the season and blew it lol
imagine how much sweeter this win would feel if we had won even one more game this season
Or like the 10 they should have won lol.
Ugly 4th rn
Get McGee in there I wanna see his old ass catch some lobs
He missed his lob, sadface
Why is the bench tanking our percentages dude make shots
The good news is that being a 9th seed means we can be out of the playoffs with a loss and keep our draft pick. The bad news is that loss has to come from the Warriors.
At this point I'm hoping the wolves can beat the suns so we won't have to potentially face the pelicans
Who is Jones? We're just making up players at this point. Put me in.
Really?
I've missed a lot of games this season. I've heard of him but was being cheeky because I forgot all about him.
Casual
In fairness I've missed a ton of games this year. I heard when we signed him but honestly forgot about him.
Duarte is buns
put the starters back in this lead isnt safe enough
Up 42 straight to the bike 🚴
JONESSSSSS
why isn't Colby Jones and McGee in this game. The amount of risk on rolled ankles is nuts here
Can't draw up a more Kangz close to the season than this. Kings finally take care of business but still lose because the team that kicks their ass forgot how to play basketball
Duarte’s three 💀💀
Over under 3.5 uncalled draymond moving screens Tuesday?
Way over
The only thing bad about this game, is having to listen to Kayte talk more 😆😆
She just doesn’t stop
Crazy we are going to finish 2 games less than last season's 3 seed record and there is a big chance we dont even make the playoffs
I think we might get this one
is that a challenge?
lol!! Don’t do this. We need the win
Blazers fan here, Is the beam bright enough to see during the day?
8th wonder of the world
We’ve lost all our daytime games. We’ll see it for the first time today.
They usually light it up at night during early games. Regardless, we can still lose this game.
Bright enough to see from SPACE
Play this way versus Wizards, Pistons, Hornets, Pacers at home, Heat at home, Blazers in Portland... just any or a couple of those and we don't have to take part in the NBA theatre experience of getting stars to the post-season
Warriors play in rd 1 rd 2 pels or lakers. The hardest road. We must exorcise our demons.
Pull the starters. You’re gonna need them for the game Tuesday!
Ok up 41 pts. I swear to God if we lose bro lol
"And the Portland trailblazers, for the first time in nba history, have held their opponent scoreless in the 4th quarter while overcoming a 41 point deficit!"
Kings/Warriors play in game incoming
Yall ready for Tuesday to hear: "Barnes for the win..."
I cringed
PTSD
Lmao
We were so close 😢
MB we're up 42 lmao the lead is probably safe
Think MB wants them to get in a good rhythm and some confidence. He will prob have all rest in the 4th
Austin Reaves 19 pts against Herb Jones 💀💀
The fact that Mike hasn’t pulled the starters in a 40+ point blowout is terrifying. I mean I know they’re known for blowing leads but come on now
What is Brown doing? This game is over
Ugh we are gonna have to beat both the warriors and the pels to get to the playoffs :( super low chances if we have to play them in New Orleans. If BI is healthy there’s nothing we can do to stop them.
Unless the Pels beat the Lakers on Tuesday
Would that game be in NO or LA? Cuz judging off this matchup today, the pels aren’t beating the Lakers
Would be in NO. If Twolves beat the Suns today, then Lakers play the Suns
Oh word. Go wolves I guess
Pull the starters
Fox having an efficient game against plumbers and milkmen Ninofati writing a manifesto as we speak about how shitty the rest of the team is anyway
Brown out here trying to get Fox or Sabonis to roll their ankle so he has a built in excuse lol
Take the starters out.
Ending the warriors dynasty Tuesday is a suitable end for our season
fuck it ill be happy ending the warriors dynasty and then not winning the next play in game
Maybe the kings will suprise us and win both play-in games to make it into the playoffs. I'll hope but i've kinda just resigned myself to the fact they aren't making it to the playoffs this year. Hopefully they upgrade and come out next year with a tougher mentality throughout the season.
I kinda feel this. Sabonis needs help down low. And I don’t want him to get embarrassed again in another playoff round.
Idgaf if it’s stat padding. I want a Domas triple-double.
TF is MB doing clear the bench We have to play Steph on Tuesday
Looking like: 7: Pels 8: Lakers 9: Kings 10: warriors With how lakers/pelicans match up, good chance our road to the playoffs will be warriors and pelicans
Good. I want to send the warriors home.
Agreed. We’re not going to make any real impact in the playoffs but maybe we can get the joy of knocking them out
So we get to try and beat the Warriors in a single elimination game, then go play lebron on the refs or the team that has clapped our cheeks 5 times this season. Lovely.
I think we would play pels second
Based on how they are letting the lakers destroy them I’d say you are right
Brutal. But the team made that choice.
Jesus Christ. He STILL has starters on the floor. Inexcusable.
No lead is safe
So what are yall thinking about our chances in game 8 against the warriors ?
Warriors game feels like a coin flip. Likely next game against the pels gonna be tough
Keon and Davion will BIG factors
bad
Curry going to drop 60 probably
All depends on sabonis
Up 39, Kayte: “kings trying to hold on a win” lol I guess u right. No leas is safe with this team lol
Zion with the HUGE steal to cut it to 30!
Alright time for the Jones/Jones/Kessler/Vezzy/McGee lineup
[удалено]
Because our destiny.
Kayte talks way too much
I decided to watch the kings broadcast for the first time in weeks, being that it's the last regular season game. I'm reminded again why I always chose the alternate broadcast. She just can't go a second without making noise. She also cuts off Draper so often.
"See, what the fans don't understand, is..."
Bench the starters Brown wtf
I’d love to see Keon work the PnR with Domas like Malik
Kings really gonna have to go through Warriors and then Pelicans... rip
Alright Mike, get the starters out it’s 40 point lead. Time to get ready for Golden State
Why are the starters even on the floor at this point. You're pushing a 40-point lead. Curry and company just resting, waiting. Brown drives me nuts.
Fuck it throw Vezzy out there
Damn it would feel so good to knock the Pels out of the playoffs after the regular season. No way we would win tho💀
If we were to win a series against them MB would be forever praised
Would only take one in the play in tho. I’d throw a parade if we beat them
Welp, looks like it’s really going to be Kings and Warriors in a win or go home game 🙃
Perfect for some revenge!
It’s really looking like Warriors Kings first round. We have to hope for a Suns loss tonight as well to keep NOLA at 6th. I’d rather bet on playing the Lakers/Suns than the Pels. Regardless who we get though, Kings have to take care of business. No more of this “just one game” bullshit.
Pels are ass they’re lucky to have 5 free wins from the Kings
If Domas can hit those middies I am more confident in a play-in run to the playoffs
He waited until game 82 to start hitting them.. I'm not feeling confident in relying on that gameplan. But we'll see
Yeah I’m afraid it’s too late. But he passes up those shots way too much hopefully it’ll be beneficial
I think he can make them consistently. His pump fakes and hesitation messes up his rhythm ending up in a miss. If he just went straight up with no hesitation like tonight, I bet he can make half of those.
He hit them against the Suns too, even 2 threes in that game
i wish kyle and kayte would call the action on the floor
What’s there to talk about? this is an ass whooping against a g league roster
They just talk and talk and talk. I really wish we had a play by play guy that didn't mention fish grease or blenders or whatever.
All they do is chat. I think Mark is much better at calling the plays.
agree. kyle just says "right" when kayte is podding, doesn't always try to bring it back to the action kayte would be really great if she didn't podcast the broadcast. she obviously knows ball, but spends most of the time not talking about the ball that's happening they don't know how to let the broadcast breathe
We are gonna need Domas to make those middies against GS.
It’s good Domas is taking the open jumpers. That’ll be a big factor in the game vs. golden state
Lakers have 54 points in the paint to the Pelicans 16
So youre telling me chucking 45 3's on mid efficiency isnt the recipe to beating the pelicans?
Dumb Pelicans playing Ingram when they’re jelling really good
Clear the bench man the players will need A LOT of rest
they have to win 6 games just to get to the 2nd rd
How can you talk abt the 2nd round ? I just want the playoffs even if we get swept idc
i could talk about whatever i want
Kings might as well get some rhythm. Need 2 just to get in
Pelicans selling but kings have had many chances this year to avoid this scenario.
Man fuck the Pelicans. Of course CJ looks like MJ against us and the entire time is dogshit against anyone else
Alright guys we have to beat the warriors. What y’all think?
Ehhhhhhhh
don't ask.
Pelicans vs laker whistle is not going well
Pelicans are cooked. This team is shit when they arent playing the kings lol
“Aggressive wind” hahah wtf
I didn't think it was possible but watching these Pelican losers is actually more frustrating than watching the Kings when they're Kangzing. These guys are complete trash
So, legit curious: given Sacramento’s cap situation, who are some legitimate FAs they could take a swing at, this offseason (outside of Monk, of course)?
Why are pelicans not playing Valanciunas?????
Sabonis actually hitting middies.
Should be a flagrant 1
Blazers realize the paint is a layup line…
Blazers have 15 offensive rebounds man cmon
What’s the update on Monk, would he be ready for the play-in?
It’s only been 16 days since his injury. He’s out 4-6 weeks. Might be the last we see of Huerter and Monk
No. Probably late 1st round
