    W-we actually played defense. I just shed a tear.

  3. floatermuse

    Denver really should have tried to upgrade their bench somehow lol

    I get that they had players missing tonight but even in general it’s just SO bad

    Not even teams that get knocked for their lack of supporting cast like the Mavs go -10 net rating over the entire year without their best players on the floor

    It’s literally one of the worst benches I’ve ever seen outside of all-time bad teams like the Process Sixers and current Pistons/Wizards

    The only reason they get away with it in the playoffs is because they play Jokic and Murray 40 minutes a game to hide the bench as much as possible

  4. transizzle

    The Kings are the drunkest team in the league. Lose to maybe the worst team of all time at home two days ago and then crush the defending champs. Don’t bet on them unless you like losing money.

  5. GoblinKD

    The Kings: Hey so we’re gonna go lose to the Pistons and then directly after beat the dogshit out of the Nuggets.

  7. itsnotyellowfever

    I watched the entire Nuggets non-garbage time offense when anyone other than Jokic had the ball and as a result I now have 4 turnovers on my stat line

  8. rattlemebones

    Lose to possibly the worst team in NBA history and immediately blow out the NBA champs. The duality of Kings.

  10. ok_computer123

    Last two games are a perfect encapsulation of this kings team

  11. OptimusGrime707

    Domantas Sabonis is Nikola Jokic younger brother

  12. IMDATBOY

    I know it’s all any Kings fan talks about but it’s literally inexcusable to keep Sabonis out of the all star game this season lmao fuckin beast leading the league in triple doubles

  13. DarwinF1nch

    The Sacramento Kings are the most confusing team in the NBA. Get beat at home by one of the worst teams in history without key players and then blow out the defending champs (also without key players but whatever)

  14. Dishonorab1e

    Being on a back to back is already rough, let alone going against a team that is going to play like its the NBA finals since they just lost to the pistons. Happy Domas got the triple double lead even if he can’t hold it the rest of the way. GG Nuggets

  15. Zhekadub

    Fox had 10 assists and 5 steals. Masterpiece of a defensive game from him.

  16. stateworkishardwork

    I don’t understand this fucking team I swear

  18. doctor_of_drugs

    Well. We lost to the pistons and beat the nuggets. Where does that make us?

    Oh yeah.

    #LIGHT THE BEAM

  19. Billybobjoethorton

    THE LEAGUE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES THAT SABONIS IS NOT AN ALL STAR!

  20. RiverOfKeys

    Apparently the way to trick good team merchant Murray into not showing up is to lose against the pistons first

  21. Autistic_Puppy

    King’s rout of Nuggets perfect storm of a big 3 point discrepancy, Murray repeatedly turning over the ball, Jokic getting dramatically outrebounded by Sabonis, and Nuggets not being able to knock down their two pointers

  22. OGbBae

    Why do we keep playing this quick ass team on the second night of a back to back. gg kings

  23. HOFredditor

    At this rate, it’s time to consider the Sabonis father and son duo as one of the best ever.

  24. DrChiz

    While also maintains his huge double double streak of 34 consecutive games in a row, this boy couldn’t care less but is gonna keep breaking records and start setting them while being an All NBA Disrespected Superstar

  25. ManyCookies

    “That’s my first seed!”

    “Great! Now let em’ have it!”

  30. HuruHara

    Kings and Wolves has 30 Ws a few games away from the ASG break. That’s pretty cool.

    Would be unthinkable just 5 years ago lol
