Game 53: Kings (26-26) @ Mavericks (28-25)

Why Keon isn't on the floor is beyond me. You have a special closer...on the defensive end. Use him.

Christie's has done more than brown, but I'm starting to think he isn't the answer either. The fact these coaches can't realize keon should start/finish every game is laughable.

I feel like part of it has to be pressure from up top, whether that's the FO or ownership. Maybe they're concerned about the optics of having your two big acquisitions and the guy you just committed to being your starting PG on the bench to end the game. I hope for Doug's sake that's what it is because there's no way Keon should not be on the floor closing these games.

I agree. But if I'm the coach I play the guys I want. Fire me. But I'll go down doing what I think is best.

Aaaaannndd he benches a defensive player. OMG

[BoogieTime]

Malik getting back in OT, but he’s been the problem post trade. I haven’t seen that play prior to the trade from him

And DeRozan you fool..

[OxAndFox]

This is a memo to the team that gives away the most 4 point plays I've ever seen.

DO NOT FOUL ON A JUMP SHOT. DO YOUR WORK EARLY!

[BoogieTime]

15 minutes zero shots for Keegan

He’s as much of the problem

[OxAndFox]

Good work Kings. Would have liked some more time off the clock, but hey, didn't do anything dumb.

Now it's FTs.

[BoogieTime]

Demar trying to cost us the game, you need to get fouled there

[OxAndFox]

Check that. Didn't expect a dumb move. Oh my.

[OxAndFox]

Oh well. Game Over.

Not going to get a bail out call. Onto the next.

[BoogieTime]

Demar…….. I’m here for it

[OxAndFox]

Oh. Wait on. Wait on. Deebo just done some Wizardry

[OxAndFox]

A W, is a W, is a W. Even if it is against the #15 seed HS team in Texas.

15 minutes zero shots for Keegan

He’s as much of the problem

He's really not.

[codydaze]

What a wild ending lol. Once again hate to see us go down to the wire against a team riddled with injuries and literally having zero centers but a win is a win.

[BoogieTime]

Man. Team is surviving bad play from that starting backcourt so far… You would like Keon starting and DeMar on the bench and then rotating for the negative Monk/Derozan/Lavine but it seems only Monk can handle?

Monk and LaVine need to start playing now

[LightTheBeam]

Oh. Wait on. Wait on. Deebo just done some Wizardry

What an offensive performance by the man lol. Something about this win feels gross lol. Dallas missing
Gafford
Lively
PJ
AD
Martin
Powell

And it took some heroics from demar lol

He really is

At least those JV/Sabonis mins gave me a good laugh. It felt so unfair lol

He's really not.

He really is

The only guy in the starting lineup who plays defense and gets iced out by all the other iso guys is not the problem. He got some offense going in the third and then was iced out again. No point guard on the roster to make sure everyone gets involved is not his fault.

He’s had a deterrent personality all season that goes in and out with O impact, though everything is discombobulated now
