Very. Especially since he obviously hasn’t worked enough on his glaring weakness.

Though I’ll give him
credit for the mid range improvement

I’m suprised you’ve used Fox and credit in the same sentence. But, it’s a fair point nonetheless.

If the Kings can’t shoot, they need to get to the basket and draw fouls. This team just can’t shoot. Shooters have to be a top priority for Monte this summer.

Domas is doubled while the rest of the Kings are standing around. I’m starting to agree with so many here that a new coach is an absolute necessity.

I’m incredibly shocked Domas has ever picked up a tech. Ever. The guys demeanor just doesn’t suggest it’s ever likely.

Cousins is so long gone he no longer matters IMO.

Yes, I hated him from the beginning. Quit watching the Kings because of Cousins.

But he doesn’t really matter anymore either.

I’d love to see a coach like Malone etc/someone who holds him and players accountable, especially on D.

And I think Fox would really learn if he had like a Sam Cassell on the bench teaching him. Like Cochie used to do.

Loved the way the Kings played tonite, including Trey. I am so over 1 game saviors. How many have we had over the years? It would be great if Lyles can be the 4 that we need. Color me sceptical until he shows out over the rest of the season.

With a $2.4 mil team option if he continues to contribute the Kings wouldn’t be risking any cap space by picking up the option if he proves out… I hope he does.
