Deposit match up to $100 my name is Matt George I have the privilege of being your host here I’m a Sacramento Sports Anchor and reporter for ABC 10 news and isn’t just the world a better place after the Kings defeat the Los Angeles Lakers and Lakers fans I know you’re

Going to be in my comment section I’m already reading you on social media all these excuses talking about rings and all these things from the past to to make you feel better about the fact that the Sacramento Kings not just swept the Lakers in their four game regular season

Series they’ve beaten the Lakers the last five straight times these two teams have played they’ve beaten the Lakers eight out of the last nine times these two teams played and oh it gets worse they’ve beaten the Lakers 12 of the last 16 times these two teams have faced so

Sure you can have your LeBron James Le AST risk bubble Championship feel good about that all you want flash your ring that you don’t have or the the $2 replica ring that you got somewhere in in Los Angeles feel free have at it but in reality the LeBron James era of the

The the Los Angeles Lakers the king’s era in La is nothing but the king losing to the Kings so let that sink in and I hope it stings a little bit it it’s just a regular season you’re right it is just a regular season but I guarantee you the

Los Angeles Lakers if if they manage to make it to the postseason to the actual playoffs not just the play in by the way I think the Sacramento Kings are one of the last teams that they want to face at this point why because like I said the

Kings own the Lakers right now with this win the Sacramento Kings are back into the playoff picture they are sixth in the Western Conference of course the margin between them and the Phoenix Suns is next to nothing so they could drop right back to tomorrow it all depends on

How the Suns fa against the Boston Celtics we’ll talk about that later on in the podcast as for the Lakers they’re in Ninth Place three games back now of Sacramento so twice in a week the Lakers have had an opportunity to bite at the Kings heels and maybe uh make up a

Little ground and have a chance to to not only Leap Frog the kings in the standings but really put themselves in the conversation to avoid the play in tournament and get into the playoffs outright two chances in a week and both times has ended in complete failure for the Lakers really incomplete domination

In so many ways for the Sacramento Kings in these two games and speaking of domination speaking of ownership we all know who’s the big brother and who’s the little brother in the damont sabonis and Anthony Davis relationship 10 and0 all time Damon sabonis continues to dominate when he faces Anthony Davis and I’m

Telling you the biggest nightmare for ad was when sabonis was traded not just to the Western Conference but traded to the Pacific Division so that Anthony Davis has to face sabonis four times a year domas dominates Anthony Davis and it’s not just statistically it’s not just

Overall record it’s on the floor did you see what Damon sabonis did against ad tonight I mean we can talk about one play in particular where sabonis went right into the chest of AD who fell to the floor like he typically does and sabon scored over the top of him and the

Entire Golden One Center popped including the Laker fans that were like oh no I mean this is just a continuation of all we know when Anthony Davis plays damont sabonis we can talk about that one play until I’m blue in the face if you want I have no problem doing that

I’ve been watching that play on repeat it’s so much fun to watch and I haven’t checked ESPN yet I haven’t checked Sports Center yet if they do not play that highlight tonight they’re protecting Anthony Davis for no reason that play speaks to when sabonis and Anthony Davis play each other because

Domas knocks him to the floor domas has no problem being undersized compared to Anthony Davis he’s way stronger than Davis he’s way tougher than Davis and he has no problem going through Davis and know he’s not playing in any kind of illegal way he’s not a dirty basketball player for God’s

Sakes reading some of the things that I’ve been seeing on Lakers Twitter tonight this is the organization that had Shaquille O Neil in his freaking Prime this is the organization that leaned heavily on the shoulders of the most dominant physical big man this game has ever seen really it’s Laker fans

That are saying this I get Warrior fans to some extent or other fan bases going man damanda sabonis is getting maybe a little too physical and he does play physical absolutely he does hell so many people who are complaining about the physicality that deont sabonis plays with are the same people that are

Probably saying man the NBA is soft now and the NBA was so much better 15 years ago when the bad boy Pistons were going through everybody’s chest and the and the the the NBA was better when it was tougher it’s soft now but then damont sabonis runs over your favorite player

Or your favorite team and it’s oh he throws too many shoulders oh he’s too strong oh he’s he throws elbows he’s such a dirty basketball player he uses the ball as a weapon no damanda sabonis is just tough damanda sabonis has had to make up for not being the tallest Center

In the league for quite some time there’s a reason why we call him the Bo here in sack toown it’s because he’s as strong as a bull and he’ll go through you he’ll fight through you he’ll play physical he pays for it trust me damont sabonis gets hit in the face more than

Any other player in the league he pays for it but that’s the way damont sabonis plays and if you can’t hang with him you better get the hell out of the paint and at this point Anthony Davis might want to consider getting out of the paint based off of what’s been happening

Sabonis tonight 17 points 19 rebounds 10 assists two steals one block Anthony Davis tonight outscored saone we 22 points shot 38% from the field 10 rebounds to sabonis is 19 three assists to sabonis is 10 one steal to sabonis is two oh and Anthony Davis who’s the superior shot blocker compared to

Sabonis sabonis is not a rim protector Anthony Davis is both of them had one block shot oh by the way sabonis is one block shot was on Anthony Davis after Anthony Davis completely botched an aloop from LeBron James so much fun all right also 48th double double for for deand sabonis by

The way he’s closing in on Kevin Love’s record of 53 but let’s move on from domas I’ve said enough uh I’m being enough of an arrogant you know what let’s move on to Keon Ellis 6 and 0 now as a starter Keon Ellis getting the start tonight second straight game he

Started last night he started in place of Keegan Murray tonight he started in place of Kevin herder who was injured this is a starting lineup that I and a lot of Sacramento Kings fans have been very interested in have wanted to see for a while Fox and Ellis as your two

Guards with Harrison Barnes of the three Keegan Murray at the four damanda sabonis as at the five and it worked like a freaking charm Ellis tonight 14 points five of eight shooting from the field three of five from three-point range three steals one block had eight deflections in 28 minutes I don’t have

Time to play for you what Mike Brown said about Keon lis deflections he said if you had eight deflections in 48 minutes that’s a phenomenal performance Keon did it in 28 minutes and eight of those deflections turned into three steals for Keon alone I mean he is so

Unbelievably active on the defensive end of the floor D’Angelo Russell is the latest uh to to visit Ellis Island which has been the new coined phrase here in Sacramento for what Keon Ellis does to players he’s putting you on ell’s Island last night Keon Ellis hold held Damen

Freaking Lillard to 10 points tonight D’Angelo Russell who’s been cooking as of late cooking and typically in in his history against Sacramento has cooked the Kings we all remember when D’Angelo Russell was a member of the Brooklyn Nets and he led the Nets on a massive comeback here in Sacramento not too long

Ago D’Angelo Russell had six points tonight shot two of nine from the field and turned the ball over twice that is the Ellis Island that is the Keon Ellis effect last night after the Kings defeated the Milwaukee Bucks Kyle Madson asked Mike Brown about the possibility of of Keon becoming a permanent starter

For Sacramento Mike essentially said no he’s not considering at this point in time after another fantastic performance I felt the need to kind of ask the question again however instead of just asking him straight up and expecting the same no answer I decided to kind of put

A little twist on it and kind of ask Mike what his thought process is what goes into his reasoning for either keeping out or what he needs to see to make that big decision to make Keon an everyday starter here’s what Mike had to say about that Mike you talked about

This a little bit last night also a little bit pregame so I apologize in advance but the possibility of Keon working his way into a permanent starting role what goes into a significant decision like that is it longevity or or consistency of doing it over a stretch of time is it something

Specific you’re looking for from Keon or any player just what is the thought process that goes into making a significant move like that uh mean there’s a lot that goes into it it comes down to feel um you know Kevin uh gives us a lot too and you know does it make

Us better with Kevin or Keegan or HB uh coming off the bench just to start Keon I I I don’t know I I I don’t have that feel yet you know you can always bring Keon in the game early you Keon still average 20 25 minutes a game if

Need be and so um kind of like Malik just get you know it can give us the luxury of a obviously finishing the way we want to finish but playing different lineups based on the Florida game because we might go out there and the Florida game might be in our favor with

Whoever starting okay let’s ride with that okay they want to make a run or they want to do this you know you got Malik you got Keon you got Davon coming off the bench and it just adds to what uh is already a very very good bench so

I understand a lot of what Mike is saying there I think Mike is starting to bring that stubbornness that he has with not starting Malik Monk and he’s kind of sort of starting to apply it to Keon Ellis here a little bit I understand what he’s saying right if you can have a

A a two guard punch Off the Bench of Malik Monk and Keon who can you you can bring in like aces up your sleep who can come and immediately bring energy after your starters hopefully get off to a strong start excellent you can play you could plug those players in basically

With any lineup and you know they’re going to give you something good maybe even consistently add Davon Mitchell to that mix too because Davon has been playing very well over the last month and some change for Sacramento here so there’s three guards Off the Bench right now that Mike feels pretty good about

Playing at any point during the game and that they’re going to provide production for him I understand that completely that being being said and this is not an anti- Kevin herder thing or I do not intend it to be an anti- Kevin herder thing we’ve talked about it

Before I think the writing is on the wall with Kevin herder’s future here in Sacramento that doesn’t mean that you let him waste away on the bench right that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t provide value for the Sacramento Kings right now of course he absolutely does

And if you were to tell me at the beginning of this season that Keon who came into this season in his second year as a two-way player after being an undrafted rookie last year if you were to tell Matt in March you would be lobbying for Keon Ellis to be the full-time

Replacement for Kevin herder in the starting lineup with the kings in a playoff race with the expectation that they will be playing in the postseason I would have told you you’re insane right I never would have saw that coming it’s been an incredible journey for Keon but

At this point in time it’s hard to argue that starting Keon is not what’s best for the Sacramento Kings at this point because it goes beyond just like obviously if you start Keon Ellis every single day I don’t expect the Kings to go undefeated for the rest of the season

I’m not I’m not foolish about that I’m not that’s silly right Keon being six and0 as a starter is awesome a lot of that has to do with how the kings are playing not just Keon is playing but it it’s I think it’s a good representation of how impactful Keon has been for

Winning basketball for Sacramento it’s great I don’t expect the Kings to be undefeated if Mike were to make Keon an everyday starter that being said Keon’s impact on both ends of the floor to me is is undeniable at this point do I think Keon Ellis is as good

Of a shooter or a better three-point shooter than Kevin hder is no I don’t that’s an elite skill that Kevin herder has although Kevin’s been struggling with it consistently this season Keon right now is hitting a lot of Threes he looks fantastic tonight Keon Ellis 14 points five of eight from the field

Three of five from three-point range three steals one block tonight like excellent he’s making the impact offensively he’s hitting shots on the perimeter shooting him with confidence still providing that floor spacing that you get with Kevin herder and then on the defensive end Kevin herder’s trying Kevin herder’s battling Kevin herder is

Bigger and longer than Keon Ellis is but it is undeniable when you watch Keon play when you versus when you watch Kevin herder play one is monumentally more impactful on the defense for Sacramento and setting the tone defensively than the other is I really don’t mean to make this a Keon versus uh

Uh Kevin thing but if if Keon’s knocking on the door of a starting spot and he’s just not he’s not just knocking on the door at this point he’s pounding on it I think Keon is doing everything he can possibly do to make Mike make that a permanent change he’s done everything

Possible at this point in time outside of scoring 30 he’s played his role he’s done his job and he’s done it about as good as you can ask from a player who again a couple months ago was on a two-way contract or even less than a couple months ago right Keon is doing

His job Kevin’s spot is a spot that’s open or that is the most vulnerable right Keon’s a guard Kevin’s a guard it’s not hard to put two and two together Keon Ellis should be under heavy consideration to be an everyday starter but if Mike’s not ready to go yet make

That decision yet when Kevin comes back and and is healthy I guess I understand that to some extent the only thing that is unacceptable for me at this point is Keon L is not playing when Keon was playing well earlier in the season suddenly Mike went away from him went

Back to now Mike has figured out a way to get Keon and Davon on the floor at the same time and they’re rewarding him I hope that can carry out through the remainder of the season end into the postseason I’m not saying Keon is going to be perfect for the remainder of this

Year or is going to be excellent for the remainder of the year he’s probably going to have a bad games and struggles at time as well because every single player goes through it but to me Keon Ellis has more than earned a everyday rotational spot he has like the only

Thing unacceptable at this point for me if Mike is going to continue to preach what he’s preaching on the defensive end and trying to win by playing the way that the Kings have played over these last two games Keon has to be a part of that if he’s sitting on the bench you’re

Just wasting him at that point that’s the only unacceptable thing that Mike can do with Keon for me at this point in time I know you have thoughts on Keon Ellis I know you have thoughts on damont sabonis versus Anthony Davis let him fly comment section if you’re watching on

We’re having with Dand sabonis and with Keon Ellis and and the Kings beating the Los Angeles Lakers if you take the Lakers part out of it and just look at these two games that the Kings have played over the last two nights back to back really really solid performances

The Kings held the Lakers tonight to 107 points they win 120 to 107 why is that number significant well first and foremost if the Kings held opponents to 107 points a night they’re in very very very good shape of course they haven’t been able to do that consistently but

Mike Brown pointed out something that I thought was fascinating before the game that I’ve never ever considered and I’m so glad that he has an amazing analytics to department and amazing assistant coaches and stuff that can track this kind of stuff because bozos like me don’t even recognize

It the Kings have held including last night when they defeated defeated the Milwaukee Bucks and held the Bucks under 100 points the Kings have held their opponents under 100 points six times this season no surprise in those six games they’re six and0 but in the game

After they’ve given up or held a team under 100 points they’ve given up on average 116 points per game so they have not been able to put together any kind of solid defensive streak or replicate their solid defense from one game to the very

Next one that like hit me like a ton of bricks I was like wow I never even considered that I never even realized that Mike brought that up pregame and said that was a message to the Kings uh players and the team before tonight’s game started well the Kings respond they

Didn’t hold the Lakers under under 100 points but they held the Lakers to 107 they held the Lakers to n points Less on average than they normally do the game after holding a team under a 100 I thought I mean that’s tremendous Improvement right there and dearon fox I

Asked dear Fox about that he talks about it and then also starts to talk about something that we’re going to get into in just a little bit which is the Kings playing with physicality on both sides but especially on the defensive end and how they’re being afficiated with that

Physicality Fox Mike shared with us pregame that I believe in games after holding opponents to under 100 points you guys have been giving up like 116 per game or something like that that message obviously stuck didn’t hold him under 100 but 107 I believe like what

What did that message mean to the team and how do you feel that you built upon that oh it’s something that we had to concentrate on I mean like I said we our season lies what what in what we do defensively and uh if we’re able to do

That obviously you’re not going to you know hold teams under 100 all the time or even in this league now 110 all the time but but uh if we can go out there we can be physical we can kind of dictate you know their movement um and I

Feel like games are being called a little differently uh they say that they’re not but I think it’s very obvious that they are uh we can we can sit here and lie all we want but um you try to see you know how much how physical can you be without you know

Being being called for fouls and uh we’re trying to find that happy media and I think these last two games I think obviously yesterday they shot 32 free throws but um I still think we did a good job with our physicality and and

This night 21 is not 22 is not a a bad Mark but um with us being physical as as we are I think we’re doing a great job trying to keep them off the line again I want to talk about what dearin said with that physicality and with the fouling

Here uh in just a second in addition to the back to the back-to-back Great Performances other aspects of that the Kings dominated the second chance points battle 16 to4 they dominated the Fast Break battle 16-6 16 points to six fast break points for the Lakers they converted 70% of their fast break

Opportunities seven of 10 uh in in transition uh and of course the Kings did an excellent job shooting the basketball they went 19 of 41 from three-point range tonight 46% so back-to-back really solid high percentage three-point shooting nights and the reason for that pointed out by

Mike Brown again I spent a lot of time after the Bucks game talking about spray threes paint touches and spray threes go back and listen to that portion again if you need to or if you missed it go back and listen to that because it was a

Major emphasis of Mike after the the Houston Rockets loss and it’s been a major emphasis coming into these two games that the Kings have just played tonight the Kings got 19 spray threes 19 threes where the Kings touched the paint and sprayed it out to to an open shooter or semiopen

Shooter which is a pillar of Mike Brown’s offense the goal is 20 a night but 19 is certainly better than the 11 that the Kings had been averaging uh since the allstar break which has been a major problem that Mike has pointed out here’s the big thing though in the 19

Spray three opportunities that the Kings had the 19 spray 3es that they took tonight they hit 11 of them so they shot 57% on spray 3es no wonder they’re shooting such a high percentage because the best looks that in Mike Brown’s opinion the best looks that the Kings

Could possibly be generating from the perimeter they are knocking down at that 57% clip that’s what makes this King shooting team so lethal those are very different shots than a pullup three in transition or a dribble handoff three from from Damon sabonis or even a a uh

Taking a screen from sabonis or screen from a big man your your uh as like dearon foxer or the point guard and your Defender goes under the screen instead of over it so you decide to pull up for that three those threes are fine Mike’s not saying that those threes are bad but

He wants to generate a lot of the three-point shots that the kings are taking because again they took 41 of them tonight he wants to generate a lot of those by touching the paint and spraying it out the Kings did that for the second straight night they shot well

For the second straight night they won for the second straight tonight night so hey maybe Mike Brown knows a little bit about what he’s talking about but let’s revisit what Fox was saying there a little bit in the clip the Kings for the second straight night especially on the defensive end play

With physicality and it made an impact right really really good physical effort for Sacramento defensively over these last two games and they turned get turned or put together two really good defensive performances against two very volatile offensive teams very dangerous offensive teams but they’re not being

Officiated the way they want to be right they are paying the price for playing with physicality based off of how officials are are are are are calling games against them the Lakers shot 22 free throws to the 12 Kings free throws tonight last night the Bucks shot 35

Free throws to 16 for Sacramento so in these last two games the Kings opponents have shot 57 free throws to Sacramento’s 28 that is a massive discrepancy right right Mike Brown dearen Fox the Sacramento Kings don’t feel like I mean they they acknowledge that’s a bad thing

But they don’t feel like they’re doing anything wrong to deserve that lops side of a free throw total essentially what dear’s saying there is they say they’re not calling the game any differently but because the kings are playing with physicality on the defensive end they’re getting called for it when opponents are

Playing physical against them and have been all season long which the Kings have struggled with and the Kings haven’t gotten the foul calls that they think that they deserve so I’m not going to go too far down a rabbit hole of anti- officiating or anything like that

All I’m gonna say is this if the if the shortterm and maybe hopefully not longterm but at least for now if the short-term tradeoff is the Kings giving up a lot of free throw attempts but they play with damn near 48 minute effort of physicality on the defensive end and turn in the

Performances on that end of the floor which also benefits the offense and Le to good opportunities offensively that they’ve done over these backtack games I’ll take that trade any day of the week right I absolutely will one of these days a team shooting that many more free

Throws than the Kings is going to really hurt Sacramento especially in a close game right but for now if that’s the price you have to pay sending a team to a line a lot but overall you’re playing a solid defense look it’s the Lakers the

Lakers are going to get to the line a lot anyway because of LeBron James and Anthony Davis so it is what it is right don’t sacrifice how you’re playing defensively with that physicality don’t sacrifice that because of free throw shooting continue to play that way till hopefully the officials expect it get

Used to it maybe have a conversation with the officials before the game two of like yo we’re we’re trying to play physical on the defensive end intentionally because we’ve been getting burned on that side of the floor not playing that way call what you think is

A foul but just so you know we’re going to play this way and you don’t have to whistle everything or you don’t have to be surprised urised when we’re going right into the chest of somebody or we’re using our chest to try and stay in front of somebody not just letting them

Blow right by us which has kind of been Kings basketball over the last two decades right I’m okay with the trade-off absolutely today’s episode of the lock on Kings podcast is also brought to you by prize pick prize picks is America’s number one fantasy sports app with over three million members I am

Shame on me for waiting until the last segment to talk about him because I do it far too often it’s Mr Harrison Barnes the Black Falcon tonight was automatic from three-point range big shot after Big Shot HB hit he finished 23 points eight of 15 from the field but seven of

11 from three-point range also had a couple rebounds and a couple of assists this like I mentioned he had some big shots some big threes in the second half particularly in the fourth quarter that snuffed out really any attempt of a Laker run and this is the second

Straight night where in addition to the Kings playing physical in addition to the Kings uh uh uh shooting the ball well and getting their spray threes doing everything that Mike Brown has has been wanting them to do consistently in addition to that and I don’t think this is a coincidence Sacramento has been

Able to maintain double digit leads and not allow teams to come roaring back right LeBron James and the Lakers tried to get going a little bit there uh in in the early fourth quarter after the Kings held them to I think 17 points in the third quarter and the Lakers or the

Kings managed to to Snuff that out and end up winning comfortably for the second straight night and opposing head coach Darvin ham tonight decided to wave the White Flag pretty early and and and get his uh actually wasn’t that early compared to the like six minutes and 30

Seconds left by the Bucks uh last night but eventually Darin ham waved the white flag and and got his reserves in there including Harry Giles was good to see Harry Giles back um so good to see Sacramento do that on back-to-back nights another unsung hero Keegan Murray comes back after missing last night’s

Game uh with the left ankle injury drops 19 points seven of 13 from the field five of 10 from three-point range 11 rebounds which is an awesome number for Keegan to get 11 boards Mike is constantly constantly challenging Keegan to uh be active on the glass he provided

That tonight also three assists and two steals Davon Mitchell gets some love as an unsung hero as well Mike Brown sang his Praises in the postgame press conference talking about how Davon was unbelievable or excellent when it came to those spray threes like he really did

An excellent job with that so Mike gave him all the credit in the world and we’ll continue to give him that credit as well here unlocked on Kings and then also shout out Alex Len too because Anthony Davis decided to try and get some minutes uh and and see if he could

Get going when damont sabonis was out of the game and Alex Len didn’t back down stole the ball from ad at one point met LeBron James at the rim with a hard foul that could have been a block but probably was a foul but either way he

Didn’t back down and just let uh Lebron score at The Rim like Alex Len came in he played physical played hard and and managed to give damand sabonis that rest and not give Davis or anybody else any kind of momentum in the paint which was

Great to see so the kings are off now until Saturday they had an unbelievably successful back-to-back here against against the Bucks and the Lakers just a tremendous two game stretch that hopefully the Kings can keep this momentum going a couple days off then they have the New York Knicks here in

Sacramento another team that plays hard plays physical has some guys that can give the Kings fits so another opportunity at home for the Kings to really hopefully maintain their position in that sixth seed and maybe knock on the door of a fifth seed too I don’t think the New Orleans Pelicans are going

Anywhere I think the fifth seed is is probably going to end up theirs but they did lose tonight uh I think the Cleveland Cavaliers beat him pretty good tonight so shout out Cleveland and maybe the Kings can try and make some noise and put some pressure on the the

Pelicans the Kings and the Pelicans do play one more time in a couple of weeks before the season is over hopefully the Kings can make that game a little extra meaningful that being said in the meantime what are we rooting for tomorrow well we are rooting for the

Celtics for over uh the Suns tomorrow so go Boston We are rooting for the Chicago Bulls over the Clippers tomorrow so go bulls and we’re rooting for the Thunder Over the Mavericks tomorrow so go Thunder the Mavericks did beat the Golden State Warriors tonight knocking them or

Keeping them down in 10th the Mavericks are still behind the Kings uh in I think eighth now now trying to catch the Suns in seventh um but hopefully the Celtics will do the kings as solid and beat the Phoenix Suns so that the Suns don’t Leap

Frog the Kings on a day where Sacramento is off maybe the Kings can get even a little bit more separation from the Suns with a loss tomorrow night so that’s really the main game and mainly what we’re rooting for the Kings have played really really well against two a

Championship contender in the in the Milwaukee Bucks and then a a still playoff threat and good team in the Los Angeles Lakers hopefully they can continue that against a a good team in the New York Knicks but I don’t blame you if you’re getting a little nervous

About the games after the Knicks game because after that they end their home stand against the Memphis Grizzlies and then they go on the road and take on the Toronto Raptors and Washington Wizards two teams that aren’t very good two teams the East that aren’t very good hopefully the Kings don’t fall into

Their pattern of playing to the level of their competition and playing down and potentially losing those games I’m not trying to speak that into existence I just know this king’s team as well as you know this king’s team so hopefully they can avoid that but I appreciate
