Not a great first half against a Portland team resting almost all of their rotation guys. Currently leading 50-46, not great energy and the outside shot isn't falling again.

Get your **** together Kings… we don’t want a win!

Kings are going to see plenty of zone in the playoffs. They have to figure this out or it will be a quick exit.

Congrats to Keegan for officially breaking the single season record for three pointers made by a rookie!

Congrats Kings fans for clinching the playoffs. I hope you guys are proud of your boys!!! Enjoy this, the drought is over.

I know that I am a bit early but you’re up 35 points with less than 6 minutes to go. I think we can call it.

So, after a year, Len is now finally looking like the backup center...

I dont know if I have to question Brown's acumen, that he was never given a stint

He is a big body that takes up space, just being that outweighs birdbrain/low efficient bad defensive Metu or whatever Holmes is, and its been obvious to me a year.............................................................

I doubt we see him in the POs unless it's match up dependant. Just giving him some minutes to keep him ready.
Hopefully, we don't see Metu either. Lyles needs to be the back up. There isn't a back up that has a post game. Shouldn't be worried about being overpowered. The team just needs to gang rebound in those minutes.

I’m not a huge fan of Lyles either, but that’s another issue

Yeah I think it would have to be situational. Like I would do it against Gobert, but I wouldn't against perhaps Warriors if it was Looney he was matching up on. Looney isn't a rim protector, but he will grab 3-4 offensive rebounds and not look to score, but kick it to Steph or Klay which can kill you.
