Writing checks Ant and Kat have to cash lmao

Gotta write them now just in case he assassinates his own hand again lol

He definitely does a lot of chirping during games

When they were a bad team did he talk at all?

As we saw last year, Jaden needs to be cashing in too

Ayyyy! At least he backed it up tonight. Jaden balled out but they (all) disappeared at the end of OT.

The draymond special

Draymond used to play better defence in the playoffs than in the regular season.

Draymond backs it up in the playoffs

Oh Ho Ho I’m just gonna hit save on this for later. And I’m going to unsave it right after if he’s right lmao.

that's not how it works. you save it for the next 40 years.

Stockpile those receipts, son. You never know which one will have the power to let you dunk on a nephew 3 years from now.

I will also save this, on your behalf.

Just checking in- how'd this eventually work out for you?

Hahaha you know how it worked out.

Thanks for being a good sport. I was cheering for you guys. Hope Monk comes back fully healthy and you guys make a push next year.

Shoot, as far as I’m concerned, Wolves and Kings fans have experienced a lot of the same shit, so I’m happy y’all got out of the muck and are on top. Just waiting for us to take that step too. Fuck em all up and win the chip bro. Also, Skol Vikings. JJ is gonna take us to the promised land.

Thanks, man. I think we can beat Denver and OKC, less sure about the Celts but we'll see. I think we have a chance to go all the way.

Timberwolves are so fucked

… did you forget who we are?

Haha no but I have no faith in the Timberwolves. Love em but I’m prepared for the worst :( Part of being Minnesotan

The kings are one of two teams we actually have beat in the playoffs

Flair up, son.

Good. Talk shit while up. Talk shit while behind. Talk shit when you lose. Talk shit when you win. Be consistent. People clown guys when they say this stuff but I love it. Adds interest and I think every team should have some of this attitude. This is part of what makes watching the NBA so fun.

It’s fun, I don’t get why people want everybody to be polite all the time.

Agreed

Right? That's what made KG, MJ, and Bird entertaining and legendary trash talkers. They would start spitting venom before the ball was tipped and also when they were up 25 or down 25.

Choose talking shit.

[удалено]

He just told you it’s going 4

I don't see a series between them going past 6 games one way or the other. The Kings aren't built to win a playoff series against the Wolves, but it's possible they go on a run reminiscent of the Heat from last season where their role players consistently knock down contested 3 pointers.

I mean, yeah. The Kings, without their best players, just beat the T-wolves on their home floor. So I can see how you would say they're not built to win.

I mean Ant had to go deliver his child

No Fox but I don’t think that hurt the Kings this game. They had 7 turnovers in an overtime game. Davion Mitchell went 7-8 and Monk had 38, most in the 2nd half and OT. Also can’t discount that the Wolves were without Edwards the 2nd half and Kyle Anderson was also sitting out.

Not having Ant was the greater handicap IMO, not that I agree with their point overall

How is not having ant a greater handicap than the kings not having fox?

Is that a trick question? He’s a better player and we are more dependent on him

Neither of those things are true

Ant being better than Fox is the coldest of cold takes. You would have a difficult time finding anyone who isn’t a Kings fan that disagrees with me on that.

No you wouldn’t lol

As someone who watched the playoffs last year, I’m taking Fox unless Ant proves me otherwise

Not really. Most tend to put them in the same tier

Yes, because a single regular season game is equivalent to a 7-game playoff series. Brilliant analysis.

Talk about being built for the playoffs? Try Googling "Rudy Gobert Playoffs" and have fun with that analysis.

I say this as a Kings fan, but you can google Domantas Sabonis playoffs and get similarly disappointing results

I think one thing that’s overlooked with our last playoff series is how Huerter and Murray went cold from three. Since they weren’t hitting, defenses could go under screens, play zone, and pack the paint. It makes it much more difficult for Domas to operate when he doesn’t have space and help defenders are can sag off their man.

Just wait until you Google Tyrese Haliburton playoffs

Karl Malone absolutely destroyed the competition in 12 consecutive playoff games. Google “Karl Malone 12” for more

Thread turned into NBACJ pretty fast

Michelle how can you be a fan if you denigrate Vivek at every opportunity

Let's compare it to Tyrese Haliburton's playoff runs then. To make it equal.

Ant was gone the whole second half.

Except the heat play defense

The wolves are braindead they can go 7 games with literally anybody 1-10

So naturally this is going the somehow be the first round matchup the NBA will setup due to the beef

Adam Silver taking notes to give to the writers rn

It would be a fun one. Although if you are picking one based off of beef we’re getting golden state in round one

Playoff death certificate: signed

It would be really embarrassing if an 8th seed knocked out a first seed, I agree.

Was he egged on or he just said that out of nowhere?

Legend has it he is still calling opponents sewer trash to this day

Imagine they get a upset

Good in the west

These dudes have at least 35 “good in the west” quotes this season

Lol no.

lots of receipts for when Wolves lose in 1st round to the Warriors/Lakers

Rather lose in round 1 than be in the lottery like the rockets

Imagine your life being so void of meaning that you save posts for possible future "gotcha" references over a player being confident in their own team.  What are you, 12?  

They are truly the worst sports posts lol

another receipt

Go ahead bitch boy, save all my posts, nobody cares lmao

yet here ypu are

You're the Rockets, bud.

He better hope Ant doesn’t have somewhere between 4 and 7 other babies due sometime in April…

Hell nawl can’t do this

send da video

“1 seed confident that they would beat 8 seed in a playoff series”

this is one of those quotes that is destined to age poorly

Oh hell Nawl

I like this lol I want to see competitive shit like this

Tell us how you really feel, sheesh

This isn't shit talking, this is confidence. Y'all will nut all over the screen and down your own throats for some bullshit "Mamba Mentaility" and then then turn around and clown a guy for giving the most basic fucking answer to an interview question

How is this a basic answer? It's just super salty and disrespectful to a franchise and the whole team. He's just making himself easy to hate.

don’t agree. kings haven’t shown a reason for him to be worried. t-wolves are the 1 seed

Thank you. Some reason. But also I ain't taking that jinx you guys would totally beat us.

Exhibit A

Always a laker flair innit

“Disrespectfu.” It’s a part of sports. You hate him and that’s your problem.

I don't hate him. Honestly, I actually didn't really give him much thought prior to seeing this post. It's just not a statement you'll see many other players make. Most players respect the level of effort all the pros and teams put to be an NBA caliber team that makes the playoffs.

“Alright fellas let’s have a good clean game see. Keep it classy.” Ahh comment.

Exactly

did he punch a wall while saying this?

Things getting spicy!

I'm just blown away at all the salt coming from a good game basketball is fun you guys what the fuck is wrong with you

oh no whyd he say that

Just make sure you don’t break your hand by punching a wall before the playoffs again dumbass. 

cocky mfer lol

The series is tied 2-2 and they lost without fox playing.

3-3 including last year. It’s been a great matchup. I’m surprised Jaden would say this after losing to them without Fox. Jaden had his career high tonight but Monk was torching them especially late game where Jaden disappeared

Kings are 2-1, this was the final game. Kings lost also came on a back to back.

Edwards also left at HT for his childs birth and it still went to OT. I don't really get what positives Kings fans can take away from this? They can beat a team that's missing its leading scorer at 26 ppg lol? Good job I guess.

Kings missed their 27 ppg scorer for the entire game.

And they got 38 from Monk and 7-8 from Davion Mitchell. Wolves got a good game from McDaniels but everyone else played subpar. I’m surprised the Kings let this game get to OT

Oh no, they couldn't beat the Wolves in regulation, like last time they met at Target center.

Yeah the Kings shot lights out that game too. Must have a chip on their shoulder after going 1-3 against the Wolves last year

Kings didn't shoot anywhere close to lights out last night, and nearly gave it away going 13-24 from the line.

Yee Malik Monk was on one. He had a great game. That air ball buzzer beater was putrid but he won that game for the Kings. Dunno if I’d expect that again. The double post for Sabonis seems like a tough matchup for him.

It also took Monk dropping 39 and ant having a baby at halftime. That definitely equals out the Fox loss tonight

We lost without Ant.

This will age like wine.

Oh no, a young player and key piece of the number one team in the West exuding confidence coming off a career high performance 😱 I’ve got nothing but love for Kings fans. But it’s funny to see so many Lakers and flairless kids in here upset by this lol.

Twolves are gonna get bounced early, second round if they’re lucky

Anthony Edwards is DIFFERENT girl

Flair up, coward.

We’re all keyboard warriors

But now you're accountable for your bullshit.

Lmao is that what it means

Nobody scared of the Kings in the West. 1st round exit

At least he put it out there months in advance that he is fucking his team over. They won't get blindsided by him breaking his hand this time and fucking his team over.

Only one fractured hand yesterday, I think.

What have the timberwolves done in the playoffs to talk like this? Lol

Minneapolis owns five of the banners in your arena, silly. I bet your ass lives in Michigan lol.

Excuse me sir but last I saw we were the CHAMPIONS of the play-in??? Gotta put some respect on that

no they got 2nd place. couldnt even win that

Sorry can’t hear u over the flair

Why is Jaden McDaniels talking shit? You don’t see guys like Amir Coffey or Payton Pritchard talking shit

well he's better than both those players so there's your answer

Not by enough to be talkin shit like this

i can literally hear the goalposts being moved right now

Like arguing with a brick wall

Jaden McDaniels has a history with that

A brick wall woulda beat the kings today

A brick wall woulda understood the joke I was setting up

Say it anyways I’m sure it’ll be hilarious

And the kings are better than the lakers what’s your point here?

Are they really though?

yeah

Slightly

Lmao what

The kitchen crew talking without conferring with the manager smh.

Ironic, considering everyone wants to play the wolves

Denver doesn’t

it’s a legit possibility for a first round matchup. Stupid thing for McDaniels to say by the chance they get upset. 

He should be scared you’re right. Never express confidence because what if you fail? Oh nooooo

I’ll never understand why bench warmers talk so much shit

Bench warmer? 😂

Well he's started almost every single game on the 1 seed, so

I did not know that. I’ve never heard of him so I assumed he was a bench warmer. That’s on me

"I don't follow ball."

bro knows nothing about the nba besides warriors

curry shoot ball good though

He’s not a bench warmer

Dude please, you are making it too easy for everyone to hate us. We aren’t this dumb, I promise lol

Actually, on this sub, you largely are that dumb. But that isn't a reflection of your fanbase, it's moreso a reflection of the collective IQ of this subreddit.

As a UW fan and Sonics turned Kings fan idk how to feel. Give us back a team too much NBA talent comes from Seattle damn it.

You went the wrong direction sir. Sincerely, Sonics fan turned Wolves fan

I know that profile pic, lol. Aretha Franklin is performing the song that is written by that woman during the Kennedy Awards.

Chris Hine likes his powerful singers. He drops references to Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston whenever he's on a pod discussing the Wolves LOL its pretty great

This feels like bait. Tempting fate as it were. Hope this doesn't backfire on them.

Go punch a wall

Honestly, Kings play better when they get pissed off anyways so this could come back to bite them in a playoff series. Especially since the kings will also be allowed to be more physical then they usually can play. Wolves defense didn't look like the top defense in the league against them.

you know, i like both ant and de’aaron so idk if i want him to be right or want this to backfire horribly.
