Kings @ Suns Wednesday game thread, October 22nd, 2025: Regular Season Opener

[Folster]

We're missing athleticism that Green could bring especially against this bouncy Kings team.

 

[Mainstreet]

That looked like Devin Booker.

Williams dunk off gillespie

 

[Mainstreet]

Mark Williams gets his first basket, a dunk, on a pass by Gillespie.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

book takes a seat with a minute left - looks like ott is sticking with the whole first quarter thing same way our last 3 coaches did

 

[Hoop Head]

It's not fair to the 4 guys sharing the court with Oso to have to run with him. He's not a lob threat and he's not an inside target either. Having Williams out there allows everyone to play their spot more naturally.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Kings 29 - Suns 19

Davis is always trying to fade on his threes. I don’t like it.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

started out ok then we looked like a team that's never played together

 

[Folster]

Davis is always trying to fade on his threes. I don’t like it.

Yeah. I haven't been impressed by him so far.

 

[Mainstreet]

Kings bench outscores the Suns bench 9-3.

 

[Yuma]

It's cool we are ahead on the turn over battle. Last year you could look at the turn over differential and tell if we won or lost. We lost the turn over battle a LOT. It has been a bad habit for the last couple of seasons.

Uhhh ohhh new hc needed jkin come on suns wake up!!!

 

[Proximo]

That quarter scared me. I am starting to think we just don’t have enough scorers.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

oneale is slower than i remember

 

[Folster]

Kings have some hoopers.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns down by 15 points.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

That quarter scared me. I am starting to think we just don’t have enough scorers.

we totally don't have enough scorers

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

thunder dan in the spot

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

kick the ball - hang and dance on the rim - it's all good

 

[Folster]

Oh boy. This is looking rough.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with Suns down by 16. Looks like they forgot how to shoot.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Not lookin good sighhhh not 1 good team pro (

 

[Yuma]

So far it looks like we will be last in the Western Conference, LOL. The Kings were supposed to be worse.

 

[Proximo]

Butler would be pretty useful right now.
