wtf, I turned this off when the lakers were up 10? Did the bench fucking blow it or something?

Kings looked really bad in the first half. The score isn’t representative of the game at all, at least the game that mattered since no starters played in the second half.
But man, the bench for the Lakers is no good. I know I’m not saying anything surprising here, but wow.

lebron is WASHED. preseason matters don’t @ me

Overall positive feelings about tonight’s game
– Nunn is a real actual human NBA player confirmed
– WB looked more comfortable tonight than at any point last season
– AD looked sharp and assertive. Little turn-around felt like bubble AD
– Their starting unit looked locked-in defensively in the 1st qt
– WENYEN GABRIEL IS A MF BEAST
– Pippen Jr. looks determined to make an impact whenever he’s on the court (gonna act like I didn’t see that 3 slam the backboard as I’m typing)
– Swider still hitting his jumpers just like Summer League
They gotta cut the TOs and hit their Fts. Bigs gotta be more intentional about setting screens for shooters. Lots of shots at the end of the clock, you’re not gonna get a lot of good looks there. There was also a lot of standing around in offense in the 2nd half. Hopefully JTA and Bryant show up next time and Schroeder’s eventual return equals more offense off the bench.
Not too worried about the result or LeBron’s statline, looking forward to the next one!

Wait, Damian Jones is really their starter? I’m just happy he’s still collecting an NBA paycheck.

AD is like a magnet in the rebounds.
Btw Fox has to have the fastest first step in the league. So damn quick

Keegan Murray ROTY! So damn impressed with the entire squad! The Kings will have to cut legitimate NBA talent. I can’t remember the last time we’ve had this problem in training camp.

Kings played all 20 guys at least 6 minutes, everyone scored but Delly
Love the defensive intensity and movement, our bench and 3rd string was smokin em

Want to congratulate the Kings for now being the 10th best team in the West overtaking the Lakers

This Lakers team is 7 deep (LeBron, Russ, AD, Nunn, Pat Bev, Reaves, Schroder)

The Sacramento Kings played twenty (20) different players in this pre-season game.

Fuel for the Kings hype train:
* Played 20 players at least 6 minutes, somehow had only 7 turnovers (Mike Brown coach good)
* Sabonis looked genuinely good on defense even against LeBron and AD, think there’s a chance some of the defensive worries might be overstated. Fox also looked good defensively in spurts.
* Keegan Murray shoots the ball so so good from anywhere anytime
* Love Chima Moneke, and the bench as a whole has a lot of really good defenders
Good Lakers things I think:
* Think they might have really integrated Westbrook much better
* AD looked aggressive
* Played well as a starting unit even while LeBron struggled
* The starters looked like they enjoyed playing basketball again, and Nunn will be useful

The bench will be a problem for the Lakers.

I’m just so happy I got to hear Billy and Stu again. First half was fun even though the offense sucked. Second half was all Kings. Feels like any ex-Laker shoots well when not wearing the Purple & Gold (Banana Yellow) lmao

This Lakers bench is what happens when you ask DALL-E AI to create a Laker team. These dudes are generic AF.

Pre season Kings are back!
LaudrenFareoh
The Kings honestly have some decent depth, and Mike Brown’s defense is looking good. That was where the game was won, once all the starters sat, and the end of the bench guys on the Lakers couldn’t do anything.

I legitimately emoted in real life.. 😳

The more things change, the more they stay the same
I really want Swider to break into the rotation but damn those lineups sucked lol
wheeno
If there’s anything Mike Brown will do is it’s that he will improve the defense. Can he make this Kings team into an average or slightly below average defense? That would be amazing considering how long they’ve been bad on that side of the ball.
hejendo76
i think legit everyone on the Kings roster played. What’s that like 20 people?
Delly was the only one that didn’t score a point. He did lead the team in assists tho in only 9 mins
Trey Lyles played 16 mins and also had 0 FG’s
FunnyBunnyRabbit8
Just preseason lol.
Russ looks better integrated in the team though

Mike brown doesn’t get enough love as a coach. Hope he helps the kings finally get over that hump. The Phillies and mariners and hell to some degree my padres ended the drought! I’m sure the kings can too
