De’Aaron Fox has gone on a scoring binge for the shorthanded Kings, erupting for 109 points and 16 assists over the last two games. Fox became just the third player in NBA history to score at least 109 total points across back-to-back games.
“There’s not a single person in this league that can stop him from getting to the spots where he wants to (get to),” Kings coach Mike Brown said, per Chris Biderman of the Sacramento Bee. “I think he’s feeling that. And not only is he feeling that, but he’s showing that.”
As we noted last month, Fox is aiming for a potential extension next offseason after passing on a new deal this past summer.
We have more on the Pacific Division:
- The Lakers played without forwards Cam Reddish and Rui Hachimura on Saturday. Reddish was a late scratch because of a right peroneal strain – irritation or inflammation in the tendons that run along the outside of a person’s ankle and foot, according to Khobi Price of the Orange County Register. Hachimura missed his second consecutive game due to an ankle injury.
- The Clippers entered Sunday’s game saddled with a three-game losing streak, including back-to-back defeats to Houston. They shot 39.6 percent from the field in the first of those losses to Houston and 37.8% from the field in the rematch. “They were physical, they took us out of what we wanted to do,” swingman Norman Powell told Janis Carr of the Orange County Register.
- Orlando Robinson made his Kings debut on Saturday, contributing six points and three rebounds in 12 minutes. Robinson suffered a left MCL sprain in early October. “I’ve been feeling good,” Robinson said in a video posted by Kings radio reporter Sean Cunningham. “I’m almost back to how I was before training camp started and I’m looking forward to getting back to that point so I can contribute to winning.” Robinson signed a one-year contract with Sacramento during the summer.
Fox had 30 FTAs the last 2 games.
Curry has had 64 games of 10+ FTA in his entire 16 year career.
SGA has 97 games of 10+ FTA in his entire 7 year career.
Lets stop talking like this isn’t purposely done to limit Steph from averaging 40+ a game.
Why do you warriors “fans” always involve your team when they aren’t involved and nobody cares. I’d bet money I’ve been watching the team longer than you’ve been alive
You just proved you care.
I know ball, you might be 100,0o0 years old but you still don’t.
Lol admin didn’t like what I said to Davey
He is right tho, Steph has one of the worst wistles ever, but I like that he doesnt foul bait like Shai or Harden
Well Steph averages 6 3s a game more than SGA. Where you take your shots matters, typically players are getting fouled on 3pt attempts
*aren’t
Another copium take from Babey J
“DirtyDra” at it again. If I was Edey. I would have stomped him while was on the ground. Someone needs to handle this idiot …….
Isnt Dirty Dray better than Dirty Dra?
Does he deserve a “better” nickname when he’s that much of a dirty boi?
Can we call JJ dirty JJ since he pushed Dray in the back to start it all?
He didn’t, though. Maybe tapped Green’s arm as he was turning around, before Green put Edey’s ankle in a clamp, rather than just tripping him. Even if it had been a push, an ankle clamp is far worse than any foul in the whole rest of the game. Potential torn ACL on somebody of Edey’s size and weight. Unacceptable.
If you want to be mad about a foul on GSW, be mad about Vince Williams’ elbow on TJD. That should have been a flagrant.
He did push off. The problem is Green is under the microscope for everything he does. AD and Golbert push rebounders in the back all the time and no calls. Sabonis did the same thing to Thompson before the Green meltdown 2 years ago he pulled Thompson down in the back on a rebound. Jenkins who complained about it was the same coach that said the play the broke GP2 arm was legal and he shouldn’t get suspended for it. Jenkins is playing the victim card.
Nope. Look at the play itself. JJJ flails fully away from Green as he pulls a rip-through move, trying to avoid a foul. Green then tripped because he got too low and too far inside on the bigger defender. He was a full step past JJJ’s reach when he started to lose his balance.
Still doesn’t matter either way, an ankle clamp is beyond the pale regardless of what happened first. You *cannot* pull a move like that and expect to avoid a flagrant. If things had gone poorly, he could have ended Edey’s career with that move. I don’t care if JJJ went full Pat Bev and shoved Draymond in the back full-force. That’s not a reasonable response. If he’d just tripped Edey or lashed out some other way, I’d be willing to give him more leeway. Hell, go straight back at Jackson and start a fight, that’s *still* better in a vacuum. But an ankle clamp is not a basketball move. It’s a move to break your opponent’s leg in a street fight. Not acceptable.
No you can see JJ pushing Green on the side which had him off balance. If you watched the entire game w you would have seen the Refs only calling fouls on Warriors. One obviously foul of a Grizzly player taking out Curry on a 3 pt play landing under Curry and no call. 2 fouls over turned that were not fouls one was on Green called for blocking when it was a obvious offensive foul. It was called as it should be a take foul. Did you even watch the game?
I did (and you’re wrong about the JJJ “push” that never happened, so stop), but here’s the thing: *None of that matters for Draymond’s specific foul that we are talking about*. None of the whataboutism, the rest of the game, the rest of any player’s career matters. Draymond’s actions were unacceptable. Full-stop. Stop deflecting and accept that Draymond absolutely earned every single bit of that ejection in spite of any mitigating factors by attempting to seriously injure an opponent *on purpose* and then swearing at the refs later in a game he should *already have been ejected from*, which you can’t do even if they’re the worst sports officials in all of history (which they weren’t even close to), and every player knows that. His lack of self-control is obvious beyond measure.
The Warriors won both of their challenges in the game, so clearly they knew they weren’t getting the right whistles and were adapting to it. Teams will sometimes get screwed by the officiating. The Cavs and Bucks have had it happen all year so far. It happens. Responding to it with potentially career-ending violence is not an acceptable answer. I don’t care what happens beforehand. Shove guys away, start a shouting match, whatever. Don’t try and break a dude’s leg because you’re salty about not being coordinated. On par with Dillon Brooks punching LeBron and Donovan Mitchell in the dick (after pulling Mitchell to the ground) two years ago because he couldn’t guard them, except with worse probable damage. Dirty.
Also the Warriors won and none of their players got injured at all, so you are quibbling over *literally nothing* despite Draymond being an unmitigated disaster. Homerism can only go so far. I dislike the Grizzlies intensely, and have long been on the “Draymond is a good and valuable NBA player, especially for the Warriors” train. But there are *limits*. Exercise them.
Did you call out Sabonis when he did it to Green? Of course not. Sabonis was called for a T on the play not a flagrant 2. So is there a double standard? YES
I *did* call out Sabonis, and he grabbed Green’s leg, not a full-wrap ankle clamp, so there’s still a difference in magnitude, especially since Draymond pulled himself free, which Edey couldn’t do. Still more whataboutism. Stop it.
It was a full leg clamp by Sabonis. So you admit there is a double standard. Edny did pull himself free.
Lmao the team thats never won anything sure seems to live in your little head permanently
Just giving the example of a double standard
Your driving down a dead end road Eon
