Great win, especially since we lost such a big part of our team (and payroll) in Beal.

I felt bad because the mask caused him to fail to see where he was going and he ended up pulling a hammy. I hope he is okay, not like him to miss games like this.

Imagine playing your heart out because you loss to a team while up 22 in 4th and in your revenge game you still lose in a game where you were up 11 in the 4th

Beat the Kings again (also won the 4th Q) and doomers big mad (til next game) is a good way to end the night. Good to see them shake off the Beal injury as last time they collectively went into the tank.

Looking forward to more Royce!

Josh Okogie is great and all, but I'd rather have Beal on defense at the end of close games. (If available of course)

Is this just going to be your shtick the rest of the season? Please let me know so I can put you on ignore.

Did Bradley Beal steal your latte or something?

It's getting a little weird my man.

4 fast break points vs Sacramento's 22?

We made this game a lot harder than it had to be, even without Beal.

Good win, but this team needs to learn how to put teams away and how to stop getting punked.

He made up to an extent Booker absolutely sucking for most of the game. He drove himself off the 3 point line a couple of times, which given his shooting is inexcusable. He needs to launch every time he's open from 3.

He despises Beal more than he despises his wife. It’s pretty cringeworthy and awkward at this point. But his mind is already made up.

Honestly I just don't see them being a quality fast break team. They don't have a legit floor general for that nor do they create enough turnovers.

Maybe things change a bit with some defensive IQ/effort from O'Neale and Thad.

Easy to come after the fact and say it.

And no I think the reason most people stopped posting is cause they don’t see this team doing anything special at all in the playoffs. Plus most of the players are pretty unlikable with no charisma and team overall has no togetherness.

It’s nice to win lot of reg season games just on pure talent alone but who here actually thinks this team can win more than 1 playoff series (and even that who knows) in April?
