  1. heshouldgo

    I still don’t understand how jjj is so bad at rebounding

  2. rattlemebones

    Sabonis is a monster. It’s a lot easier without that giant Kiwi though

  3. OptimusGrime707

    Historians gonna study this Kings team years from now and wonder how their games are all blowouts when each game begins 0-0

    Also, obligatory “Malik means ‘King’ in Arabic”

  4. KGProject

    If Malik doesn’t mean King in Arabic… then I’m Miles Davis

  5. theanswerisnoman

    Fox: Aint gonna be a parade in this city. YEAH

  6. beastnfeast5

    No amount of Ja flopping was going to save this game

  7. TheRealestHoeBitch

    did anyone clip that middy fox hit over ja?

  8. cough_landing_on_you

    Kings are positive on differential before the new year, woohoo.

  9. DemonicDimples

    Kings dominated from end to end this game. Starters didn’t have the most efficient game, but they shut down the Grizz on defense.

  10. PrimaryAccording9162

    Sabonis had a trip double in 23 minutes easily an all star

  11. GunsmokeIV

    Fox didn’t shoot well, but thankfully the entire bench showed up.

    Thank fuck for Alex Len, and a casual triple double by Sabonis. Grizzly were clearly missing the presence of Stevens, cause the Kings only allowed 1 offensive board.

    Watching Davion carve up the Grizzly defence was certainly a sight to behold.

    Happy New Year folks!!

  12. halofan642

    Sabonis being behind Jokic and Embiid is such a tragedy.

    He’s such a monster. Absolute beast. and so fun to watch

  13. Its_Hoggish_Greedly

    Felt like Huerter was really solid coming off the bench. Maybe we keep that going for a while and see if it gets his shooting back to normal.

  14. Sabonis had a triple double in the first half lol like 10 rebounds in 1st quarter or just about. Crazy game from him and Malik 6MOTY going off.

    So many of our Kings will be snubbed and disrespected with All star/all NBA/awards this year and it’s a shame cause they’re top tier. Fox literally top 5PPG and a TWO WAY BEAST not just stats or one way, all levels, and not even top 10 MVP consideration.

    And no 6th man doing what Monk is with assists/playmaking on top of scoring high with great efficiency.

  15. TheMidnightRamblerrr

    Malik Monk was crazy good for the Lakers it sucks he wasn’t in are future plans.

  16. Grizzlies’ offense is still ways back from where it needs to be.

  17. Trading for Marcus Smart to play SF as the replacement to Brooks surely was not a positive move. Might as well had kept Brooks, i mean fuck they basically make the same salary. Not only Celtics got the best player in Porzingis but they also got 2 picks?
    Im not blaming Marcus Smart for where the Grizz are but thats a very questionable move, they could have grabbed KP instead.

  18. quesadillakid

    Its crazy that Fox could have a bad game and still come away with 24 points. 3pt merchant

  19. JohnnySalmonz

    I just watched Sabonis man handle one of the fakest DPOY of all time AMA

  20. Billybobjoethorton

    So many media members and nba fans told me that the kings were going to regress to a non playoff team.

  21. DangerouslyCheesey

    Domas like This your DPOY? I don’t understand how a 6’10” DPOY gets 3 boards. As a team, you can’t be getting a single offensive board the entire game and expect to win.

  22. transizzle

    One of our best wins of the season tonight. Adams is such a huge loss for them, like an all star level loss.

  23. epicnerd427

    the gap between our bench and theirs was crazy but honestly we just had 0 answer to Sabonis. He is so big and strong and skilled. He didnt score a ton but those assists and the fucking 20 boards were insane value. Sabonis seems like the 2nd best passing C in NBA history, which is funny because he isnt the best passing C in the NBA right now lol. He is gonna struggle to ever get the big individual awards because Jokic is playing at the same time as him, but he really is special.

  24. boydivision30

    JJJ becomes mid on D without the Kiwi meat shield.

  25. gamer15807

    Why don’t the Grizzlies score more points? Are they stupid?

  26. Platinum-Peasant22

    Glad to see Fox and Sabonis could play basketball with their sons, Ja and JJJ to end the year.

  27. Amin Elhassan: “Ja Morant is who De’Aaron Fox thinks he is.”

    Thanks, High Jackass Amin, for Fox’s fuel every time we play the Grizzlies.

    I’m sure Fox dreams of being suspended 25 games, right?
