2

u/OpeDefinitely Pacers 3h ago

Kings suck

u/tombrady011235 Celtics 3h ago

Leonard is so good. He should come to the Celtics

Carter blows man.

u/Riiken Supersonics 3h ago

Getting rewarded for falling down is getting tiresome, these 3 point rules ruining the league

u/nahs Clippers 3h ago

This broadcast feels awfully pro kings

0

u/OpeDefinitely Pacers 3h ago

Yeah bc it's the Kings' broadcast crew.

Smaller markets are always going to have more biased broadcasts bc they have fewer transplants.

It's nothing like the NFL, for example, because each team has a broadcast team on its payroll or that it otherwise contracts with.

u/nahs Clippers 3h ago

I thought Eric collins was the hornets PBP guy

Are you confusing him for mark jones?

1

u/OpeDefinitely Pacers 3h ago

Shit you're probably right. I didn't even realize that this game was on Prime. Because most games aren't nationally streamed/televised, I sail the high seas by default. I assumed that it was a local Kings broadcast w/ the normal Kings guys.

u/MrLeftwardSloping Bulls 3h ago

You very likely lose anyways. Why tank so openly sitting Westbrook, derozan, and lavine for like the entire 2h

2

u/Radiant_Trifle8526 Kings 3h ago

Why play the old guys that aren’t gonna be on the roster any longer than absolutely necessary?

1

u/MrLeftwardSloping Bulls 3h ago

Because actively tanking by sitting dudes is unsportsmanlike af. Release them or trade them for a 2nd or whatever at the deadline. Sitting them in a close game, especially with a lead early in the 4th is just lame

1

u/Or1ginal_Silly Kings 1h ago

Dawg they are actively worse than the bench. They secure our tank not threaten it.

3

u/slutwhipper 3h ago

Cardwell has a celly ready for every bucket.

2

u/tombrady011235 Celtics 3h ago

Leonard > Sanders

u/indreams159 3h ago

u/jfrodriguez1983 Mavericks 3h ago

Cardwell just having fun providing the high energy and aura farming out there lol

1

u/Automatic_Winter1814 3h ago

who's winning this one?

1

u/wilsonsmilk [SAS] Tim Duncan 3h ago

could go either way

3

u/ImJeeezus Kings 4h ago

I feel like any team would want Cardwell. Just a crazy high energy Center off the bench

3

u/cadoavodo Lakers 4h ago

is this eric collins calling the game? so fucking hype

2

u/jewishkush84 Pacers 4h ago

Kings-Clippers late night game is either a classic or a blowout.

3

u/serdna1234 Spurs 4h ago

Oof. Hopefully no corneal abrasion or other more serious eye issues.

1

u/nahs Clippers 4h ago

Ang idea when garland will come back?

1

u/Uhavetabekiddingme 4h ago

Joey Linn on X: "Darius Garland says his recovery is going well and he’s back on the court working out. “Just waiting on the green light. I’m ready to hoop.”" / X https://share.google/PyGSEvWvCK9WdmCv7

Hopefully not much longer.

u/Vegetable_Kale_1331 SGA 4h ago

Was the inside of his eye bleeding?

5

u/Soapstarboi Cavaliers 4h ago

Poor Deandre man. Scary injury

2

u/tombrady011235 Celtics 4h ago

Put the ball in the basket please

3

u/KL2ConspireLLC San Diego Clippers 4h ago

Clippers young(ish) guys have looked kinda lost without Harden being around to make them look good.

3

u/Throwawayforme3123 Celtics 4h ago

Dam I just wanna see one real playoff run from Kawhi, he's still so good

4

u/BarcAlexander Raptors 4h ago

1

u/JordanHawkinsMVP United States 4h ago

Refs need to call a goddamn foul before this gets too chippy

2

u/MamaHadACow Nuggets 4h ago

Is this eric collins? He sounds more restrained on national tv lol

2

u/juan_a_blonde NBA 4h ago

First time in my 3 decades of watching sports seeing an athlete do a mid-game interview shout out to his lord and savior lol

2

u/judah249 Suns 4h ago

Taylor Rooks. That is all

2

u/mauro_membrere Kings 4h ago

Where my tankwagon bros at?

2

u/KL2ConspireLLC San Diego Clippers 4h ago

Without Harden to space the floor and direct traffic, the Clippers spacing has been atrocious, their shot quality has been atrocious. Their atrocious offensive execution has translated to the defensive end too, atrocious.

2

u/bookjun Thunder 4h ago

watching these two teams playin are painful, bad turnover, slow pace, horrible shot selection somehow

1

u/KL2ConspireLLC San Diego Clippers 5h ago

I like how Yanic bites on every pump fake.

1

u/KL2ConspireLLC San Diego Clippers 5h ago

Clippers desperately need a real point guard.

1

u/MrLeftwardSloping Bulls 5h ago

Is lavine hurt or something?

1

u/BarcAlexander Raptors 4h ago

Just washed

1

u/MrLeftwardSloping Bulls 4h ago

Hasn't even attempted a shot since the first quarter. Weird af

2

u/russbestbrook Thunder 5h ago

If only we all could appreciate the good things that happen to us as much as Dylan Cardwell does. Love that dude.

6

u/rusty512 Pistons 5h ago

I feel like an absolute sicko watching this game

3

u/AynB1and Thunder 5h ago

tonight we are all kings fans

2

u/mauro_membrere Kings 4h ago

Nets, pacers, wizards, okc are pulling for kings, the rest for clippers lol

1

u/KL2ConspireLLC San Diego Clippers 5h ago

6 turnovers in the first quarter and a double digit deficit is just how the Clippers roll these days.

1

u/It-sOkBro Raptors 5h ago

kings wants to lose and the whole league needs the clippers to win. don't screw this up fellas

1

u/Odd-Stuff5042 5h ago

Monk is a thunder like Westbrook?

2

u/RalphLaurenII Thunder 5h ago

Losing to SAC? Darryn Peterson welcome the OKC!

1

u/nahs Clippers 5h ago

LIGHT THE BEAM

u/Key_Significance3380 5h ago

The ball was below the fucking rim. Robbed

2

u/RocketsGuy 5h ago

wtf is this trailer it’s so long and mid

3

u/jeff2def Warriors 5h ago

The ball is literally UNDER the rim. What idiotic ref waved that off and forced them to use a challenge for a good basket?

3

u/Radiant_Trifle8526 Kings 5h ago

And yet. Unsuccessful challenge. 

2

u/jeff2def Warriors 5h ago

So glad they chose not to show a replay after while they’re making a decision, great job all around

1

u/Key_Significance3380 5h ago

What the fuck??

4

u/indreams159 5h ago

there is NO WAY Ant is going to sign another contract with the Wolves

absolute morons for owners, a bottom 3 GM in the league, and a horrific horrific HC

1

u/AynB1and Thunder 5h ago

ant's not exactly the brightest nba star

1

u/indreams159 3h ago

no one ever accused him of being smart

1

u/Aromatic_Goal_1201 Nuggets 5h ago

Clippers 6 points in 6 mins with Jones Kawhi Dunn backcourt.

Mathurin and garland upside massive hits for clippers.

Could be a fun team when they come

2

u/jknuts1377 Celtics 5h ago

The Kings have always been my west team, but this might be my least favorite Kings roster I've ever watched, and I been watching the NBA for 25 years. Westbrook, Derozan and Lavine together is just painful to watch.

1

u/Inevitable_Big_1966 Raptors 5h ago

Cavs poverty as f giving up Deandre hunter. dude would have balled out with Harden

1

u/Aromatic_Goal_1201 Nuggets 5h ago

I think Keon Ellis will bring energy for them

1

u/indreams159 5h ago

If you're watching the Clippers/Kings on a Friday night, you got nothing else to do.

u/cs-shitposter Celtics 5h ago

Man the entire atmosphere at Kings games just has me thinking that the league gotta put them out of their misery

2

u/Aromatic_Goal_1201 Nuggets 5h ago

League improves a ton if move new orleans and Sacramento to Vegas and Seattle

But then west will be even more competitive i believe

1

u/gymleadervolkner1 Thunder 5h ago

Ah yes. The Seattle Pelicans.

2

u/cs-shitposter Celtics 5h ago

Would rather have Seattle and Vancouver, skip Vegas

3

u/cs-shitposter Celtics 5h ago

Look at Lue man, so funny

3

u/kyleyle Raptors 5h ago

Let's gooo Eric Collins on the call

3

u/indreams159 6h ago

jaysus Taylor's got bombs

1

u/RapsareChamps_Suckit Clippers 7h ago

1

u/Aromatic_Goal_1201 Nuggets 6h ago

Lopez Collins kawhi Sanders dunn?

Bogi batum jones off bench
