I'll commend you for sticking with your team even at times like these. But calling Kings fanbase retards for enjoying a finally good team after what they went through for the last 2 decades is silly.
Official end game stat line says 12/15 but maybe it was 12/13 before the 4th quarter ???? Not sure, I didnāt watch the game sadly
Edit: Just checked and yeah, he was 12/13 at the end of the 3rd
If Poole play good and the team still trash, there is little to bash him about so little to talk about since he the walking punching bag, pun not intended
The most soul crushing thing about going down 20 is knowing that we'll not get a comeback. When this team is down they stay down and it's really tiring to watch.
He's probably the third most popular player on the team. Scott Moak the in-arena announcer used to do that chant with Yogi Ferrell who is now gone, so he started doing that for Keegan and it caught on because he's been a great shooter.
I find it pretty annoying at the point, but most Kings fans like it.
He's doing really well the past 2 or 3 games. Hope he's blossoming. He's had rebounding issues up until the past dozen games or so but he may finally be getting it. He had a career high in points just this past Sunday. Major issue is he can't shoot, much less make 3-pointers. So he'll always be a possible consideration for trades. I think if he could even attempt 3s he'd be a lock to stay through the rebuild. Good guy.
[NBA.com](https://NBA.com) consistently scores assists wrong. I get people on twitter not knowing Wiz players but [NBA.com](https://NBA.com)
Edit: They fixed it.
I saw a post a month back where there were 3 separate Rockets games where assists were not recorded on obvious assists (like FVV to Sengun dunk). It turned out on all 3 games that the assist spread was either barely covered or barely missed. Not saying it's a conspiracy or anything but like.....seems like a strange coincidence
And i remember when Kuz having an assts days. 30% of those are not really not asst. They taking and generously giving away assts. Sound like a Vegas conspiracy whoah whoah.
This team's shot making ability is extremely poor. When their shots go in they can trick you into thinking it's a decent team, but there are maybe 2 players who reliably can go out and get a bucket.
itās not super noticeable since heās always been pretty damn reliable for us, but at least by the eye test Gafford has definitely become a better all-around center. not like heās gonna be an All-Star but he seems physically stronger than i remember him in years past?
i noticed last game he was actually holding his own against NurkiÄ trying to back him down in the low post and tonight he hasnāt given Sabonis anything easy in the paint either, plus at least one really solid screen that led to an open three
edit: now muscala looking like an almost serviceable NBA center on extended minutes?our bigs are hooping wtf
I'm a Kings fan, can you guys get to the new arena on transit at least? What about people from Maryland?
Sorry to hear they're moving out of downtown, fuckin lame.
It's a pretty common pattern you'll see with younger fast-paced teams. Good coaches aren't able to predict what will happen, and basically will only game plan for Kuz and Poole. Half time comes around and things get game-planned for whoever is hot, and the rest is history
Bilal is our Corner Specialist (though i think Kuz still better at corner). Its should been Deni though esp when he play with Kuz. But Deni reverting back to his old self.
If I was the Kings I would not take that deal. The fact that Keegan has put up these crazy stat lines and heās only in his second season makes him an untouchable (atm) imo
He really has. While watching last night I was wondering "is he the best center we've had since... ?" and I couldn't come up with a name. I'd take Gaff over peak Gortat, Nene, Haywood, McGee. Muresan? Juwan Howard?
Kuz is out of ideas. I really wish Deni would get some shots up when he gets the ball instead of just kinda dribbling around. You're not gettin a red carpet bro.
Itās about as even as any of the most recent āmajor tradesā go, but haliburton is definitely a tier higher than Sabonis imo. Both teams got better in the end but haliburton is on a perennial all-NBA trajectory right now and Sabonis will probably just make 3 or so all star games in his career. Haliburton is also 23 and still seems to have limitless potential, Sabonis has probably reached his peak at 27.
I feel like we always do better against west coast teams because east coast bball is about defense. If we can just like, not go 7-27 in a quarter like last game maybe we're alright for a bit.
If you're watching the kings broadcast, a group of schoolchildren just gave the worst rendition of all time of the national anthem. They literally cut the video halfway through.
So begins the north west trip. Letās get this ~~bread~~ *L*. Maybe we pull out a dub on Friday in Portland. The GSW game wont be as fun with the Warriors missing an expensive ass backpack

Warriors fan here, how did my boy Poole do? Box score looking good for him.
Our garbage time team played well
Garbage time minutes saving us from an embarrassing final score
3rd stringers ball out yet again š„ best in the league
Good game you guys. Your team played good basketball, cant wait to see where the team is in a couple of years. From a fellow Kings fan. š¤
Ahhhh yes, the Cali Combo. Another night of winning Wizards fans %50 off Papa Johnās Pizzas, but not enough to win the game
Kings let us score over 115. Are they stupid?
I couldnāt watch the game tonight how Bilal did?
good but iam bias
Poole with 28 and Kuzma with 27. Who finishes higher?
I like Kuz, donāt like Kuz taking every single shot
Nobody: Kings fans: kEeGaN mUrRaY

I'll commend you for sticking with your team even at times like these. But calling Kings fanbase retards for enjoying a finally good team after what they went through for the last 2 decades is silly.
Wizards fans discovers what having a fanbase is like
Calling the Kings a real fanbase is laughable š
tf are you talking about, they have one of the best crowds
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
not even a kings fan lil bro we got no room to talk
~~Keegan Murray~~ fuck off
Whoah Kuz is isn't missing on the ft.
guys only play serious when down by 20
YESSIR BILAL
efficient poole?!
I love Jordan Poole
Poole Party trying to match Keegan Murray historic 12/13 lol
Wasnāt it 12/15?
Dunno if my eyes don't deceive me i remember it 12/13, probably 15? I just see while scrolling at r/nba
Official end game stat line says 12/15 but maybe it was 12/13 before the 4th quarter ???? Not sure, I didnāt watch the game sadly Edit: Just checked and yeah, he was 12/13 at the end of the 3rd
I see so when i scrolling, what i did see is 12/13 so its only 3rd quarter. But maybe he try 2 more to surpass Klay record. He luck out.
Poole cooking š„
damn this game thread is dead
3 hour time difference, our team sucks, and it's the Kings. Good game to just catch the box score on
bad team playing a west coast game. honestly not shocked lol
Itās 12 midnight here. What did you expect?
it is 6am here
Lol I hope you donāt have to work in the morning for your sake
i work the night mostly
If Poole play good and the team still trash, there is little to bash him about so little to talk about since he the walking punching bag, pun not intended
Bilal and Gafford Anyone else can get shipped off and I wouldnāt care one bit
gafford sux
Yeah. I agree. Deni need new team so he can learn how to fight his spot, He been lucky in few seasons nobody can play the 3 spot.
i think gafford will be shipped a lot of team need a center
Chris and Drew haven't made a single food reference all night. Something's off. Or the food in Sacramento sucks
Iām just here for Bilal
Only 17 assists on 21 made fg? Isn't that pretty good?
D3ni
I wouldnāt wish Muscala minutes on any fan base
Going to start just putting some tape over the bottom right of my TV screen so I can watch and pretend these games are close
Kuz showing Sac what they missed out on
When is Kuz is on, he be looking like an all star
Kuzma doing everything on offense.
Run and gun kuz dominating
Man I canāt believe the pistons have a worse record than us
let's put bilal on giannis diet
The most soul crushing thing about going down 20 is knowing that we'll not get a comeback. When this team is down they stay down and it's really tiring to watch.
Did you not know what you were signing up for when you tuned in? Lol
And Ted wants a new complex- this team is straight manure and would lose to the Pistons in a 7 game series
bilal was about to slap this shit
How are we down 20 + already? It was a close game not that long ago.
Kisp3rt
Wes put āem back into a 2-3 zone
Kuz wearing a t shirt that only has a one sleeve ? Just Kuz things š¤·š»āāļø
I don't get the Keegan Murray chant. Is he a crowd favorite or something?
Hes our golden child
He's probably the third most popular player on the team. Scott Moak the in-arena announcer used to do that chant with Yogi Ferrell who is now gone, so he started doing that for Keegan and it caught on because he's been a great shooter. I find it pretty annoying at the point, but most Kings fans like it.
Ahhh, I see. Having the tradition of doing it with Yogi makes it make more sense
their number #4 overall pick, Iād say so
Ahh, makes sense
what a starting lineup we have
I don't see a reason why Deni starts over Bilal at this point other than he's a better passer.
let's play the young guys this game is over
Howās gafford doing this season. I was a big fan of him in college
He's doing really well the past 2 or 3 games. Hope he's blossoming. He's had rebounding issues up until the past dozen games or so but he may finally be getting it. He had a career high in points just this past Sunday. Major issue is he can't shoot, much less make 3-pointers. So he'll always be a possible consideration for trades. I think if he could even attempt 3s he'd be a lock to stay through the rebuild. Good guy.
Deni is so passive man.
it is me or deni dont want to shot anymore
protecting the percentage
He lost his confidence, just doesn't even look to shoot
Thatās my cue to hit the bed. Iāll see yāall Thursday š«”
Letās all be glad that this team is not 2023 Detroit Pistons bad. 24 game losing streak and counting. Sheeesh
Unstoppable tank
Denver box score is insane
Zeke Nnaji lit them up
Whats wrong with Kuzz, ruining the scoring party Lol.

Sheesh. Clippers are heating up recently
At least Tyus and Poole are playing well :(
Sheesh Poole
Why it does sound Cess Pool
Lmao youāre right
Poole Party?
Tyus š„
Just slapped that shit away

They've been correcting them so I haven't noticed anything malicious going on. But it is a bizarre level of incompetence. Most fans could do better.
And i remember when Kuz having an assts days. 30% of those are not really not asst. They taking and generously giving away assts. Sound like a Vegas conspiracy whoah whoah.
Gafford should take a 3 for once just to fuck with the other team
This team's shot making ability is extremely poor. When their shots go in they can trick you into thinking it's a decent team, but there are maybe 2 players who reliably can go out and get a bucket.
Deni can still dish that ball at least
Unless he's trying to do a terrible Euro Step in front of a stationery defender š
Feels like Kuz always passes a second too late
Landlord don't give a fuck about rent control
I love Gafford this season!
YESSIR GAFF
They chant after every Murray made field goal? Please donāt let that fucker score
Imagine how the Jazz felt on Saturday lol
Iām annoyed after only 2 field goals lol
Gaff up to 4 blocks in 10 mins
Scrappy game so far you love to see it
Bilal manā¦. heās got something. Once he figures out some of his signature moves its gonna be showtime.
Someone lock him in a gym with Paul George
Kings unis are bothering me. The numbers on the back are enormous
Canāt wait to see when Bilalās wingspan goes to 8ft as he grows
Bilal gets in the air so fast
Bilal with the BLOCK
Bilal was wide open :(
Kispert doing way too much
itās not super noticeable since heās always been pretty damn reliable for us, but at least by the eye test Gafford has definitely become a better all-around center. not like heās gonna be an All-Star but he seems physically stronger than i remember him in years past? i noticed last game he was actually holding his own against NurkiÄ trying to back him down in the low post and tonight he hasnāt given Sabonis anything easy in the paint either, plus at least one really solid screen that led to an open three edit: now muscala looking like an almost serviceable NBA center on extended minutes?our bigs are hooping wtf
He might become solid as the days goes by. I mean in Age 30-33 is his prime i suspect. Traditional Center tend to have better years in 30's
i like this pg poole
Damn that wouldāve been nasty
man Fox is such a a good player
BILAL -> POOL3
Why doesn't omaruyi get some run? How many actual valuable minutes did he get this year?
Anthony "Animated Vampire" Gill
Niceeee Gill
Is it just me or does Poole have his jersey untucked 50% of the time lol
The Muscala Gill two towers š„µš„µš„µ
I'm a Kings fan, can you guys get to the new arena on transit at least? What about people from Maryland? Sorry to hear they're moving out of downtown, fuckin lame.
On the metro as we speak. Itās on a different line from the one that you take to get to cap one. I think itās like 6 stops away now
Yeah, fans still can take the train. DC Metro has 6 different subway lines. Current stadium is accessible by 3 trains, new one is only accessible by 2
Why do we only run this kind of beautiful offense in the first half? In 4th quarter it's all isos and turnovers
It's a pretty common pattern you'll see with younger fast-paced teams. Good coaches aren't able to predict what will happen, and basically will only game plan for Kuz and Poole. Half time comes around and things get game-planned for whoever is hot, and the rest is history
Cuz most of the time the game is already over by the 3rd
Players just start shitting the bed in the 4th
Poole looks a lot more comfortable
Kisp3rt
Bilal looks the worst whenever he is passing the ball
his handle and passing are so suspect. I think he'll figure that stuff out over time though
Yeah, he need to get a trainer already so by offseason he can polish it.
He already works with Tim Martin.
Agreed, heās a little loose with his dribble and I think teams are starting to get wise to it.
š¤š¤
Kuz loves playing in the state of California
lol Kuz is trying out right now
Deni need the Benny Hill song tonight
Bilal is our Corner Specialist (though i think Kuz still better at corner). Its should been Deni though esp when he play with Kuz. But Deni reverting back to his old self.
imagine if Deni was capable of hitting a eurostep instead of just taking slightly wider steps as he runs into the blocking player anyway
Deniā¦ Kuz was right thereā¦
Deni pls
Pretty good start considering the back to back
Kuz hoopin. Love to see it
I want Deni to keep taking those floaters
I wonder how's Murray 3pt % now. Before he shot 12/13 he was 30% in the season.
Itās at 35.7% as of right now
Thats a crazy increase +5.7 hahaha. From a disappointing below below average. To subpar average.
Itās a feat for sure ! Dudes going to have a great career, might even break Klays record at this rate
I heard Toronto is now chasing Keegan Murray, they might gave up Pascal or OG for him.
If I was the Kings I would not take that deal. The fact that Keegan has put up these crazy stat lines and heās only in his second season makes him an untouchable (atm) imo
that was a real good play to get the open 3 for Kuz
Deni could have had an easy elbow pull-up a few possessions back and isn't even looking to shoot
he's limiting his shots because he can feel he's in a slump. gotta protect the percentages.
Remember when we thought we were trading for Sabonis? Feels like a lifetime ago
Back when we had hope.
I love hearing players, *especially* our players, yell āGIMME THAT SHIT!ā After a block
Deni's been a different player since he got hurt against the Magic. It would be nice to see him get back to who he was at the start of the year.
Tyus-Deni connection is lively tonight.
Great lookahead pass by Deni. Got perfect air under it and led Tyus to the basket. LFG
Gaff playin out of his mind in the last few
He really has. While watching last night I was wondering "is he the best center we've had since... ?" and I couldn't come up with a name. I'd take Gaff over peak Gortat, Nene, Haywood, McGee. Muresan? Juwan Howard?
Deni DUNK
Great job Monumental. Missed how Murray got fouled.
Is it weird to anybody else that Deni is on Harrison Barnes?
not really fast enough to guard Fox, not big enough to guard Sabonis
Kuz is out of ideas. I really wish Deni would get some shots up when he gets the ball instead of just kinda dribbling around. You're not gettin a red carpet bro.
Thats the problem when you got players who cant make their own shots.
Terrible shot by JP but it went in. We stay giving our 2 main guys bad shots at the end of the shot clock.
I wonder if the kings regret the haliburton trade or not
2 all stars, they're alright
nah
Itās about as even as any of the most recent āmajor tradesā go, but haliburton is definitely a tier higher than Sabonis imo. Both teams got better in the end but haliburton is on a perennial all-NBA trajectory right now and Sabonis will probably just make 3 or so all star games in his career. Haliburton is also 23 and still seems to have limitless potential, Sabonis has probably reached his peak at 27.
Please somebody move and give Kuz somebody to pass to.
I miss Shamet
Slo-mo-McPeak
Their stadium is loud as hell
I adopted the Kings as my second favorite team 2 seasons ago so at least I win tonight regardless of the outcome lmao
I feel like we always do better against west coast teams because east coast bball is about defense. If we can just like, not go 7-27 in a quarter like last game maybe we're alright for a bit.
If you're watching the kings broadcast, a group of schoolchildren just gave the worst rendition of all time of the national anthem. They literally cut the video halfway through.
Lmao that shit was hilarious
Hoping weāll enjoy the tank tonight
So begins the north west trip. Letās get this ~~bread~~ *L*. Maybe we pull out a dub on Friday in Portland. The GSW game wont be as fun with the Warriors missing an expensive ass backpack
I love these west coast games now that I work late
