Is this the game thread?!
Maybe.
Go Kings!
Those gold jerseys are hideous
Gallo del Cielo likes our chances.
Where all my bandwagonners at?
Today looks like a pre season type of crowd.
HB to Richaun. Sweet
Caris LaVert is so tall in person.
Conversely, TJ McConnell looks like a baby out there.
Refs with their usual fuck ups.
Afternoon games suck.
Where’s the game thread?
Keep posting and we’ll have a thread
Buddy launches a loooong 3
That was a hell of a buzzer beater
Buddy!
amazing shot
Good shot Buddy!
Buddy showing you why a desperation heave is better than no shot.
I like Davion on Sabonnis
Ha! And he forced a turnover
When did Jim Carrey get the Pacers head coaching job?
HB is putting the Kings on his back
G1C step up and ignite this team with energy. The Falcon can’t do it all…
Fox needs to step up and ignite this team with energy.
If I see one more offensive rebound for the pacers Im going to slap this team across its collective face
Come on Fox…
He’s playing the long game of fouling out LeVert.
Fox doing the little things
Fox can’t let TJ Mcconel go right by him for a lay up.
Happened several times.
Well at least the defense is good, sort of
Tyrese is as good now, or better, than most of us thought he would be in 6-8 years. This dude might be a star.
Looks like 3pt% will decide this game
Fox + Hali = Zero Assists
How about more minutes for Mitchell?
He’s the starting point guard at many different organizations right now. I always feel we really undervalue the potential of a lot of 4-yr prospects, too. They’re only 23 after all and a lot of guys are still growing physically and as players at that age. McNair really nailed the pick again.
They’re showing the hall of fame speeches by Webber and Yolanda Griffith. Her jersey should be in the rafters next to Ruthy.
What did I say?
These guys still not rebounding the damn ball?
Fox hasn’t left his imprint his entire career
Fox is a one trick pony that doesn’t play D. He is officially hurting us
Trade fox already.
When when you have a competent coach….
Golden1 is empty in the lower bowl. Fox looks like he’s in a coma. Tyrese is a non factor. Other than that, things are good.
Buddy gets ball 28 feet away. Starts dancing. Teammates watch him motionless. Awesome
Kings are a disaster on both ends. Pacers getting any shot they want.
Whatever you do, Luke, don’t put Mitchell in – the only guy in the + column.
That’s 4 on Turner..Oh wait??
Ugh, That’s why we can’t take this team too seriously. Gotta beat PHX tomorrow to make up for today.
Buddcy………….buckets
Still no Mitchell??? Makes no sense
the rebounding
Two hands
Five black jerseys in the paint and Pacers shooting free throws…
Hey, we’re not going to lose this game or anything? Are we?
Only if you don’t like our chances.
Why the hell is Davis in?
Harkless needs to stop making 3’s his main shot.
But he called bank
When Fox is on the bench….
TYRESE
the rbeounding
Two quick Harkless fouls
Someone on the site said that he’s merely a placeholder. I like that take
Hali is doing his job and getting it done
Why isn’t he this aggressive all the time!
Alex Len is good
Fox momentum killer
Fox is a walking – +/-
Levert keeps getting insane shot drops
Fox smh
He won’t be playing like this much longer
Well they kept it close. That’s it folks.
Fox comes in and we start losing again.
Walton NBA coach..
Get Fox out of the game!
Fox just walking it up the floor.
So glad it’s HB and not Fox
?
Wtf Fox? Wtf is he doing?
Saving the day
I hate Fox
Hali’s having a very efficient offensive game at 50% from the field. Where is he?
I don’t understand being married to small ball when you’re playing a team with traditional size and positions and it’s not working
It would work better if Fox didn’t walk up the floor.
Finally a Defense chant
Pacers just letting Fox have the three. Not good for a player whose offense comes predominantly from speeding past defenders.
McConnell is backup PG who’s never been a big scorer and he’s making Fox look like a joke.
Fox jump shop. Funking stupid BS.
Fox is so bad lol.
Fox what a liability
A Fox jump shot is not a good possession.
Getting Fox to take shots at this stage is bad
WAs that really the ATO play? Fox takes a long 2 with 14 seconds left on the clock? Yuck.
Nice job by Fox to get the tip but good god can we not have Fox taking a jumper here
Buddy three to win the game. Let’s go.
For the love of god, make Fox pass the ball inbounds
Dammit
9 ast between Fox, Hali, and DM.
Luke better not be drawing up a jumper for Fox
What? Is that Walton’s brilliant out of bounds play?
Bad loss. That’s now multiple afternoon games this year where the team just looks lethargic and not ready from the jump. Probably first game of the season where a win should be expected and they blow it
Fox is totally lost. He’s not even playing at the right speed. The assist total alone shows how crappy Walton’s offense is.
Wow Fox looks awake now.
They should have won this game and and the end of the season they will wish the had won it.
Shitty game. Poorly played. No excuses.
Lmao, 14 sec left on the clock. Drives, shoots one of the most inefficient shots in the modern NBA with no one around him, bricks it.
Just trade him for Ben Simmons. At least he plays defense. TJ went 8/13 tonight lol.
Playoff teams don’t lose that game.
Out rebounded by 20 is not going to get it done.
Walton didn’t tell Tyrese to jack it up from that far. That’s on the kid.
Did Walton text you? How do you know?
Wait, you actually think he wanted him to jack from 30 with 6 seconds left? He’s a shit coach but not that shitty.
That game is no doubt on fox. He was atrocious. So very bad on defense, slow, lethargic just awful
Still campaigning: Fox and some combo of Hield, Harrison and picks for Tatum and filler. Just shake it up and go big.
Hali is not a catch and shoot guy. He rushed it. But the whole team was lackadaisical from the jump.
Loser Walton is to blame. He had his rotation in the 4th of a 30 point blowout win the other night. Guys got tired. I dislike Bagley as the next guy but Bags, Metu Davis, Ramsey are the type of guys you put in those situation. He had a rare opportunity to rest his rotation in the 4th on Friday and he blew it.
It came to bite him today.
Is Fox out of shape or just mentally out of it? Would someone in the media actually start asking some tough questions in post-game interviews. It’s like people are just saying slump, slump, slump when you can clearly see he’s not the same player.
From the AMA:Those individuals are often referred to as “COVID long-haulers” and have a condition called COVID-19 syndrome or “long COVID.” For COVID long-haulers, persistent symptoms often include brain fog, fatigue, headaches, dizziness and shortness of breath, among others
That’s a great point. Maybe someone should ask the team and Fox about that. Probably wouldn’t get an answer, but it’s a valid point to bring forward.
He’s always had a low motor, innately
It’s really the players who should have been ready for this game and the coach too, All around shit game, but especially Fox.
We are failures yet again. This day extracts a heavy toll.
Kangzy loss. However they did play D throughout. Tough to believe this team will be different but in a game where they couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn their D kept em in it. That’s an encouraging sign in a bad loss
Now we are stuck with our max player who the FO and the coaching staff consider as our franchise player. Coacning staff should have the balls to take him out of the game if he’s liability.
This team gives you something to cheer for once a week – and then all Kangs thereafter.
Trade Fox for Simmons now. Then start Mitchell.
I’d say that someone should call Fox out on his head space, but I don’t think he’ll respond well to that.
As far as Sac media goes, the only person I’ve heard call out Fox is Kenny Caraway. Wonder when others will begin to follow suit.
