I’m at full Beam over here.

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

Every time Luke successfully flops, the beam will get brighter. LTB

Seeing Fox showing everyone that he's the player we've all known him to be is so fucking gratifying

[–] jluc21@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Take a shot every time luka flops or complains

edit: i’m blacked out halfway into the first quarter

[–] RevolutionaryClue969@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How are Mavs fans ok with this behavior? It's childish and embarrassing.

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

Damn our post game thread so late? Who's in charge of these things I legit don't know.

This has not been a good last few games. The two pluses from tonight I saw: Green making some shots and Lively making good reads.

We were tired and on the end of a b2b, but the Kings were flamethrowers and were going after every board and loose ball. Fox is a treat to watch.

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

De'Aaron Fox is a Top 5 MVP candidate

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

I’m officially on the “Kings are likely winning the Tournament” train.

[–] delamerica93@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Still gotta get through the Timberwolves ugh

[–] Toxik916@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Great win by the Kings! I'm almost ok with us not drafting Luka after watching him bitch to the refs during every possession.

Fox and Sabonis are the best duo in the NBA! Light the fucking Beam!!

Bagley redemption arc

[–] ConfuciusBr0s@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Pacers robbed the Kings btw

[–] dcab87@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Just as expected from the best team in the Pacific Division.

Go see your doctor if it lasts less than 48 hours.

[–] MoMac77@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

man fuck. didn't want to believe it but the soft schedule thing seems to be it.

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

It was touch and go there for 3 quarters and then boom 20 point lead. Fox is that guy.

[–] lily-malek@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

i really wish i had money so i could take advantage of all these KINGS WIN! 🟣🔦 15% off discounts 😔

[–] Elite663@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fox showing the 3 ball and the lockdown defense is incredible to see. Absolutely scary if either of that stays consistent

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

Kings defensive intensity has been way up this season. Makes me so happy.

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

Can someone remind me of The Beam status?

[–] Yuuri420@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Only tuned in during the 3rd and lmao fox looked like curry out there. LTB

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

Thanks for giving Peja a ring, Mavs

[–] jluc21@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Luka has to be the most annoying player to watch. I mean this dude is passing Embiid last year and is borderline 2018-2020 harden trying to bitch about fouls

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

He’s harden 2.0 100% their games are nearly identical right down to the foul grifting and ref working

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

C'mon now. Luka shows up to the playoffs, Harden doesn't.

[–] delamerica93@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Harden has had some absolutely insane playoff games and been deeper in the postseason multiple times than Luka has though

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Has Harden made the WCF?

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

How many finals have Harden played in? Tell me, senpai

[–] delamerica93@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How many finals have Luka been in? Harden has been to the finals dude lol

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

Boogie would have been ejected every single game if he complained as much as Luka

[–] OptimusGrime707@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fox hitting threes is some “UH OH, HAPPY LEARNED HOW TO PUTT” shit

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

Kings ran the absolute shit out of the Mavs in the second half on a back-to-back. The Mavs did a good job keeping up in the third, until the fourth came and they lost their legs. I think they missed every shot in the fourth.

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

This is what good teams do. You gotta win the games you're supposed to win. Two wins in a row against Texas lottery teams is taking care of business.

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

Its always easy to talk when you are up....

Remind me how many years it took to get into the playoffs again.

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

well 2nd night of a b2b he just got back from across the country and like I predicated we would look slow and ass. Should mention this is our 2nd b2b in the week. Scheduled loss but that should not be an excuse

the Mavs defense is still fucking ass and its not really an individual problem like it was last year.

We have to fight harder around screens, Lively and Powell cannot be scared to foul, and just communication has to be better. How we guarded Sabonis is unacceptable.

Fox hit his 3's and I dunno what to do against that. Kings played really well.

Trade Josh Green

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

Light me up

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

Props to the Mavs keeping up for most of the game. The kings just kept going up and up and up and the Mavs ran out of steam. Seeing the kings compete on defense and hustle for the ball makes me very happy. We knew this teams offense was legit last year and now the other pieces are getting worked on. Luka would be so much more likeable, as an outside observer, if he didn't bitch and moan so much. Like take that energy and do something productive with it. Kyrie is still a wizard when he's on the court.
