    Imagine playing a 3 big line up and still getting destroyed on the glass in the clutch. Crazy. What a frustrating game.

    Also I guess that’s why Monk is the huge frontrunner for 6moy. We fought hard and lost a wild one, it happens.

  2. bearbrannan

    I hate that shot by kat,  he’s guilty of it at least once a game, 3 point shot, with defender in his face, and early in shot clock. Usually late in close games. That shot swung overtime, and the nail in the coffin was the cross court pass out of bounds. I’ve seen him take this shot in the double digits and I don’t think I’ve seen him hit even one yet. Move the ball find a better shot. 

  3. mnsportsfan

    For a team of our size, we surely give up a fuckton of offensive rebounds

    Also this felt like past years where it felt like every game some role player plays the game of their life against us

  4. irishace88

    Slow start, awful turnovers, shit rebounding, and a dud from KAT. Way too much to overcome.

  5. infuriating loss and KAT still shows he can’t show up when it matters in the clutch

  6. anomalous-blur

    Fuck sabonis, congrats monk but ruck you too, fuck the refs, fuck ourselves for pissing that away

  7. FullBonus

    Rough end to the game but that’s basketball. On to the next one! If Ant plays I think it would play out differently. Still the one seed so not too worried.

  8. It was a great game, but that towns pass at :45 seconds kills me, ugh

  9. sayqueensbridge

    Damn bro why didn’t Ant have sex 2 hours earlier ?? 😞

  10. orgasmicwaste

    instead of Arby’s and Chic-fil-a they should be giving away free Sloppy Joes with how this game went….

  11. AlligatorPoontang

    I can’t understand why we try to feed Rudy so much in clutch time.

  12. dys0n_giddey

    Fucking hell. This game was torturous.

    But its just 1 game and I think we learnt a few things on how to close out games…

    And losing Ant at the half doesnt help

  13. vaultfunctional

    Disappointing L, felt like we shoulda had that one. What the hell was that last shot in regulation??

  14. letting malik monk score 35 FUCKING POINTS IN THE SECOND HALF IS NASTY WORK

  15. tie_myshoe

    It’s crazy we didn’t attack the paint more in OT

  16. On the bright side, the Kings keep pace for the #8 seed

  17. kieran1017

    Those hope and prayer passes from Towns that always lead to turnovers are just too common for a player this far into his career.

  18. bobbyshawarma_

    Im fine with this loss, as long as Ant gets that father buff against the clips on sunday

  19. Mellow_Maliekk

    We can never separate from the thunder foolishness smh 🤦🏾‍♂️

  20. Throwaway785672

    cant really have any complaints tonight. Monk had a fantastic game, one of the 5 best he will have this year and we shot like trash in the clutch. Probably missed 5 or 6 wide open 3’s late in the 4th and OT.

  21. Angularbackhands

    Not a bad loss imo, Kings are fighting for their lives to get out of the play in. Ant leaves early. Monk was breathing flames all 2nd half.

    So be it

  22. HackWaters

    This reminds me of I think last year’s Atlanta game without Ant when Jaden had like 25 and was still being treated like the 5th option. 

  23. Monkey_D_eeezNuts

    KAT disappearing in nail biters. What’s new?

  24. Happy for Ant and his kid but you know he would turn off Monk real quick. Tough game. Fun to watch. Onto the next.

  25. Conscious-Cycle3359

    man Sucks on Kat. I love the dude so much but fuck man he literally chokes when things gets crucial.

  26. Monk would be Maxey with a starters leash. KAT was god awful. The play by Finch to win the game was so bad though, that was the chance to take it

  27. Crap defensive rebounding and dumb turnovers lost us the game. Looking forward to the Clippers with Ant back on the court.

  28. KnowledgePrevious

    Sucks to lose that one, but no biggie. Outrageous night from Malik Monk. Some unlucky bounces leading to Kings OREBs IMO. On to the next.

    I would have liked a lot more NAW to deal with Monk late in the game.

  29. nomad2178

    Home losses like this is really bad because it just makes home court advantage in the playoffs meaningless for us. This team has the capability to lose to literally any team in the west home or not with the shit load of Low IQ decisions they make

  30. Alternative-Half6705

    I’m too scared to even imagine Kat in a close playoff game

  31. diddlyumpcious4

    Just an absolutely embarrassing overtime. We made one fucking shot. KAT throwing into the 18th row after Monk missed both free throws was the worst turnover I can remember in awhile.

  32. I’m gonna be thinking about Gobert leaving Monk wide open until the next game

  33. Dull_Ad_8627

    KAT had a chance to come up big with Ant out the second half and folded sucks man great Jaden game on to Sunday vs Clips

  34. Falconsbane

    They need KAT to understand the difference between .3 and 3 seconds.

  35. saassales9494

    Should’ve had NAW in there down the stretch
