Can't believe this statement doesn't feel not right, when just 1 season ago, it'd get clowned at. But man what a turnaround.

And turnaround it is. Kings play some amazing high paced offensive basketball (since last seasn really, but I get that some people still underestimate them), led by DeAaron Fox speed and Domantas Sabonis high octane passing and DHOs. Mike Brown obviously coached them the Golden State system while still pushing for his Cavaliers defensive schemes with the right personnel. This team is going places.

They feel like watching prime Warriors, but quicker because their players are generally faster and younger. And they do this EVERY game too (with Fox playing at least). No wonder they record the No. 1 offensive rating ever last seasn.

Its crazy seeing LeBron looking noticeably slow and sluggish everytime he plays the Kings, they look like speed demons running around a haystack. Those that watched Kings vs Lakers games know what I mean.

If you're tired of all that crap drama and just want to sit bck and enjoy good ol' amazing, balls moving, basketball then just tune in to Kings games, especially at Golden 1 because their fans make it an even more amazing experience.

Games are too late for this old body unfortunately

[–] Marchidus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

People talked more about the kings when they were bad

[–] ffz_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

DeAaron Fox is the key that unlocks that offense. He's essential for them. They are so scary with him playing.

[–] bookishwayfarer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Go see what Jeff Teague said about Fox lol.

[–] ruff_leader@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Dudes a legit MVP contender. It's crazy how different they look without him.

[–] ArmiinTamzarian@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They’re really fun to watch

[–] mares8@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So ..i tuned in and watched first half vs Rockets... wasn't great..

But ye i did watch vs Lakers first game,playoffs etc its good basketball ,bit reminds me of Nuggets

[–] Its_Hoggish_Greedly@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Woof. You saw us at our worst. Davion running the first unit was a disaster.

And yeah, we're 100% following the Nuggets blueprint:

Jokic - Sabonis
Murray - Fox
MPJ - Murray
Aaron Gordon - ????

Once we figure out the last piece, we're coming for you!

They are fun to watch but to compare them to prime Warriors on how they play is ridiculous.

Not the same playstyle, not the same type of players and the team is nowhere near as good

[–] nonstopenguins@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Today the number 1 kings offense takes on the historically bad Spurs defense. You may see a 50 point blow out. As a Spurs fan I am both scared and intrigued to watch the game.

[–] Its_Hoggish_Greedly@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Our offense is middle of the pack so far due to Foxy missing time. It'll probably be closer than you expect.

[–] Elf3niona@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They already were amazing last year wdym lol

[–] ninofati88@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nobody was watching is what I mean. Lol. If they were, there'd be posts here everyday praising how incredible their offense is or similar amount to prime Golden State warriors cause thats how beautiful their offense is.

[–] Greaves624@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I hope the Kings stay in Sacramento but move their games to a different time zone. Even if they move it further west and play at 7PM Hawaiian time. For fuck sake I can't watch games that start at 4:30 AM

[–] runhomejack1399@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

where can i see them?

[–] SamIAmReddit@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When y'all played us, it was rough basketball. Is Fox just that important to your system? Also could have just been some bad shooting + main creator out.

[–] Its_Hoggish_Greedly@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Brother, that Houston defense fucked us up lmao. Fox being out was bad, but you guys just outplayed us. Davion can't run the first unit, and our shooters were struggling a lot. I think we also underestimated y'all based on last year's performance, which was a fatal error. Seriously, you guys just took our lunch money and there wasn't much we could do about it. Udoka and the vets y'all brought in have already made a huge difference.

[–] Smellmyhand@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If you don’t like the Kings, you don’t like NBA basketball

Can’t wait to see them blow us out tonight. Fox is an absolute joy to watch
