I think that’s it. He plays with joy and energy. Some wild plays but it’s a net positive with him on the court and it’s always fun.

One unexpected thing from the Kings season so far… I legitimately enjoy watching Westbrook play the game of basketball.

Disappointed that Christie’s coaching staff has had no answer for Reaves. Bring a double from the same place over and over and he is picking it apart. Maybe try something else???

Not so much fun to watch. No flow at all.

First one. Preseason or regular season.

Outrageous

Lakers just baiting the Kings knowing any small amount of contact and a sell is going to get them to the line.

I’m so tired of Austin Reaves. He knows he is getting the call and he exaggerates every little touch. Breathe on him and he almost falls over.

And more…

Oh good. More free throws.

29 FT - 7 FT. That’s not right. Be better.

The number of fouls and free throws is getting out of control here in the 3rd.

I will admit it. I am thoroughly enjoying these Westbrook minutes. It’s making me a little uneasy. But I think I’m liking it.

This and fouling 3 point shooters back to back. Not the best plan.

He has been flat out awful. Was terrible in the pre-season and nothing is getting better now.

Something tells me playing Cardwell next to Eubanks isn’t the play. Probably not great giving up 6 straight free throws followed by a lay up line.

I was momentarily frustrated at the conclusion based on how they lost. But bad teams are inconsistent and will find ways to lose. As I realized this just nodded to myself and went on about the evening.

13-23 free throws. Why are we talking about this again? Unbelievable that this team keeps finding the same way to lose. Change the players. Change the coaches. New year. Same dumb ass reasons to lose. Rebounding and bloody free throws. Lost the fight. Lost the game. 0 for 2 in this one.

Fouling a 3 point shooter with 1 minute left is the most Kings way to lose momentum in the final couple minutes.

Well at least those first 24 minutes were fun

Why is Eubanks going 1v1 with anyone? You aren’t the primary option when the team is trying to close a gap in the 4th quarter. Know your role. #losing_basketball

Kings allergic to defensive rebounds.

Trend has continued. Kings not closing out possessions. Lead getting dicey.

Well that was an unexpectedly fun half of basketball. Maybe they can do that again in the 2nd half?? Defensive rebounding was a bit lacking and that is really the only thing keeping PHX in the game.

LaVine doing LaVine things.

I’ll say it again. Lavine is Sacramento’s best player. Leveraging him in the offense is paramount.
A scout told me “LaVine gets buckets like how we breathe” He has 16 pts in 15 minutes.
But the most promising thing I saw from LaVine was blowing up Portland’s “wide” action on the defensive end💯

What was the quote… “dude gets buckets like we breathe.”
