Anyone tuning into tonight’s matchup expected to see a high level of play from an MVP-caliber center, and Domantas Sabonis certainly met those expectations on Thursday evening, putting up 33 points, 14 boards, and 5 assists in a loss to the Denver Nuggets. The Kings battled hard for about three-and-a-half quarters, but poor rotational decisions from Alvin Gentry, a hot-shooting night from Will Barton, and another incredible game from Nikola Jokic, forever to be known as Domantas Sabonis-lite, was too much for an underdog Sacramento squad to overcome.
Quick Stats
Sacramento Kings: 110 points, 34 rebounds, 25 assists, 5 steals, 8 blocks, 15 turnovers, 50% FG, 31% 3P, 83% FT
Denver Nuggets: 128 points, 39 rebounds, 30 assists, 12 steals, 4 blocks, 16 turnovers, 56% FG, 43% 3P, 85% FT
The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly
THE GOOD
Domantas Sabonis: 33 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 assists on 15/23 shooting from the field, 2/3 from deep, and 1/1 from the charity stripe. Need I say more?
THE BAD
Alvin Gentry: After trading for an All-Star and upgrading Sacramento’s overall talent level, Kings General Manager Monte McNair has one massive task left ahead of him this offseason – find a quality head coach. After sharing the need to have one of De’Aaron Fox or Domantas Sabonis on the floor at all times over the All-Star break, Alvin Gentry went against his own plan multiple times on the evening, and the results of those groups were poor at best. At one point late in the third quarter, none of Fox, Sabonis, or Harrison Barnes was on the floor, and even with Nikola Jokic on the bench, the Kings were still outscored, as they had no offensive firepower on the floor. Gentry wasn’t the only reason behind Sacramento’s loss tonight, but he certainly didn’t put his team in a position to win either.
Interior Defense: With a player of Nikola Jokic’s caliber on the floor, it should be expected that the Nuggets would put up a bucketful of points in the paint, but Sacramento’s severe lack of rim protection was on full display tonight. Domantas Sabonis is the exact opposite of a shot blocker, and Harrison Barnes’ lack of verticality at the four only exacerbates that issue, a weakness that led to numerous walk-in dunks by Denver’s guards and forwards. Sacramento’s guards, De’Aaron Fox in particular, need to be more committed to turning away slashing ball-handlers, but the Kings have a massive hole in their defensive center, with no one on the current roster able to fill that gap.
THE UGLY
De’Aaron Fox: Domantas Sabonis did everything in his power to keep the Kings in a position to make a move this evening, but the Robin to his Batman, De’Aaron Fox, simply didn’t show up enough or in time. Late in the fourth quarter, with the game mostly out of reach and the defecit in double-digits, Fox hit a few jumpers to improve his counting numbers, but frankly, he was bad tonight, on both ends of the floor. After a good stretch of games in the post-trade era, Fox looked once again like his early-season self tonight.
The King of Kings
Domantas Sabonis was absolutely brilliant tonight. He became the first Kings player to record at least 30 points, 10 boards, and 5 assists in a game since DeMarcus Cousins did so in his next-to-last game in Sacramento, a game that took place more than a half-decade ago.

Accurate comments, Tim.
Gallo watched the game alone in his living room and felt very much the same.
I wasn’t able to watch the game tonight so I’m just going off post game reviews and box scores, but how does a guy who primarily scores within 10 feet of the rim get 33 points but only 1 FT attempt? That seems really weird to me.
Truth be told, how does a banger with a game like Sabonis get so few free throws throughout his career? Is this a good question for the mail bag?
First thing I thought when I saw that line as well.
Certainly not for a lack of contact.
He’s interesting to watch. He creates a lot of separation with his body, and he uses his body as a shield to get off his shot. And to your point, they were lettin’ ’em bang last night. Jokic got to the line seven times last night – he gets that flailing contact that Sabonis does not seem to have in his game.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
De’Aaron Fox is inconsistent
What else is new?
our jersey are purple
with some black
but with this kind of defense
the winning ways won’t come back
you are right…nothing had really changed….
We maybe still the same team, even with a high pick, a new coach………
That’s just the way of the Kings……
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Most poems rhyme
Some don’t.
#5 lack of effort on defense is so incredibly indifferent that playing in the same game as Davion should actually shame him, but it won’t.
On ball defense is awful, but the quickest guy in the league gets out-hustled down the court daily. Talent is something you practice for, effort is something you are born with.
If someone can remember a player who decided to get serious about playing defense in their 6th year after signing an extension…Please reply here with their name.
All night the Nuggets would rebound and throw a full court pass to a player under the basket. How many times I don’t know but to many. No defense. The kings have nobody other than Barnes who can consistently shoot a 3. Holiday is supposed to shoot 40%. In every game I haven’t seen this. Gentry wanted to look at Lyles tonight. He got 6 minutes. That is not enought time to get a flow started. Should’t have played him at all. Some people take longer to go to the bathroom. There were times especially during the fourth quarter Gentry didn’t have either Fox or Sabonis on the floor at the same time. Not Good! Where was Metu tonight? Can rebound and sometimes shoot the 3. I’m wondering if the coaching staff is really trying to tank. If so that is not what you want. Very inconsistent night. We need to but a starting five on the floor who work together. I don’t care who it is. How about starting Mitchell with Fox and let Donte lead the second group.How about Fox,Mitchell,Barnes,Lyles and Sabonis? Just an idea. I also would play Lamb more. Seems more connected out there. I also thought Jones played pretty well tonight. Please reply.
So many completed football passes to Nuggets under the basket. The defense failed the Kings again. Just lazy getting back, or lack of coaching, fundamentals.
So many wide open 3’s for the Nuggets too. Consistent scrambling defense again, and blown out in the 4th quarter. Lack of conditioning?
Yes, I would like to see more of Lamb, and less Holiday, please. It’s like Holiday is the new Buddy. He doesn’t deserve to be starting, but I’m afraid Gentry is stubborn. How about DDV starting?
Anybody but Holiday.
I think it’s safe to say Fox is far from the quickest player in the league now. Scenes of him just blowing by people on breaks or when driving to the rim is now the exception, not the norm.
Morant is exponentially more explosive, just to name one.
And that’s the scary part; we kept the player whose game is built around his athleticism.
He doesn’t have any other discernible skill at an elite or even very high level to fall back to once his athletic edge is gone or taken away by the defense.
What concerns me is Fox lack of effort in D and to improve his game. He still has no idea how to play off ball. Has he ever heard of cutting/moving without the ball?
Can a coach force Fox to play D? Is Fox’s ankle the issue? Is that why he’s less explosive?
A huge risk taken by building around Fox and it’s disturbing to see Fox not even put out a consistent effort.
And Davion should play 30 or more always. Because he plays D and can run the O and because more time = development.
I have a fear that Fox is following in the footsteps of Wall or Westbrook. Guards who rely on athleticism but aren’t great basketball players. I wouldn’t hate it if Fox can go on a hot streak to finish the season, raise his stock a bit, then trade him for the best package possible.
You haven’t watched the last couple of games. Watch Sabonis pass to Fox cutting to the basket. You also haven’t watched Fox’s defense the last eight games. Really has improved.
Totally agree. I am always leery of those types of players. Lose a step and it’s huge drop off.
I’d rather have Fox and his athelicism than someone that falls over his own his feet. I still believe he is the fastest player in the NBA. If you clog the middle he will pick you apart with his great moves and shoot that medium shot. If they come out watch him take it to the rim. Great basketball player period. Most ofyou ragged on Heild then Bagley now its Fox. Shame on you.
Also let’s see you guard him.
James harden,Kevin Durant and even Jokic made major strides on their defensive game multiple years into their careers
PLAY of the night…
We need that kind of defense every games…
and we need another elite defensive player….
I always love it how our announcers over the years acted surprised when a roleplayer like Will Barton gets it going. As if the Kings get unlucky or something. No, they give up wide open shots or lanes against good NBA players. What do you think is gonna happen?!
The only issue I have with this is saying Barton is good. I think he’s very good, and has shown what he can do at a high level in the playoffs. He’s a legit starter on a playoff team. The Harrison Barnes of the Kings, if you will. If Barnes were the 4th best player of this roster, that is.
Why don’t we have a role player that gets it going.At times it was TD but he isn’t playing.How about Lamb? What about Lyles. Big man who supposedly can shoot the three but also could help with rebounding. I watched him drive to the basket last night. Not a lot of players did that. Also you need to put pressure on Jokic. The best way to do that is take it to him every time. He just might foul out or a least set on the bench.
Sorry, NO disrespect. But, I have to laugh. Jokic’s IQ is off the charts. Lyles would have fouled out in 15 minutes. Same for Metu, Jones or anyone else you throw at him. That’s why he is up for second straight MVP. He was easily the smartest player on the court last night and he’s been doing it all season. Without Murray or MPJ. Think about that for a minute. I think you discount Jokic’s brilliance. The guy is a beast. Take out Fox/Sabonis the Kings are a bottom 4 team in the league.
What’s even more unfortunate for us all is that with Sabonis & Fox the Kings are a bottom 6 team in the league.
11 comments, did we win?
Stop the count?
I like Gentry. He’s a good human and the world can always use more of those.
I’d like to see the Kings find a new coach who is a good human and also an exceptional game manager / x’s and o’s guy / with a pinch of motivational speaker.
Fox wasn’t aggressive. That’s not gonna get it done.
Bones made Jokic look average.
Barnes was just as “non-aggressive” as Fox. He should be getting rolled just as hard for not making his presence felt more.
The Wings – Holiday, Harkless, Lamb, DDV, etc. al; these guys need to be more effective / efficient / productive. If one of these guys would have pulled a Will Barton for us…
Though I prefer him to score a bit more, Davion makes me feel slightly better about losing Tyrese.
I missed Holmes and Metu last night. I think these 2 could have been fairly helpful in the rotation, Metu with his shooting and Holmes with his Defense.
Jones is playing his way into a regular rotation piece. Which makes me worry that Holmes might not be long for this team.
I feel like much has been said about the rotations already so I’ll just add that there’s definitely improvement in a lot of areas but this team still needs A – more talent and B – better offensive / defensive game plans. I don’t care if we make the play-in or not, I just hope that incremental improvements continue throughout the inevitable off season. We have a ways to go, yet.
Team with more talent / better coaching beats team with less talent / coaching.
Domantas Sabonis is a treat to watch.
As was Tyrese Haliburton.
Absolutely. And Sabs/Hali would have been wonderful but was likely not even a remote possibility.
I’m hoping we’re not sitting here next year talking about how Sabonis is doing it alone because he “just hasn’t had any real talent” to play with on the roster. Similar to how we did with Cousins and Fox (back when he looked like he could still be a high-level players)
This. I’ve been saying since the trade that this isn’t a .500 team, except possibly in an outlier season. A coach and a different set of bench vets aren’t going to change that. I hope the front office doesn’t sit around for a year figuring that out. The trade is a good first step, but this team needs at least one more major move (and I would argue that involves Fox) to be a real threat even for the #8 seed.
I’d love to see them get another stud player to pair with Sabonis, either by trade or by draft. Fox is really more suited to be a 3rd or 4th option. As Bibby was to that squad. Though, in two years time Mitchell might make him obsolete.
Fox could be utilized as a scorer off the bench …. like Monta Ellis. Pair another high IQ guard with Mitchell, share the playmaking responsibilities, play through Sabonis, more ball movement
If Fox is ever going to be a 6th man, it sure as hell isn’t going to be in Sacramento.
probably not. In one of the recent podcasts, it was mentioned that Larry Bird said Sabonis was the player Indiana should have built around. Would be an interesting discussion: what would be the best way to build around him? What type of players?
That’s easy. You put shooters and players who understand how to move off ball. And players that move the ball.
You let SaBonus run O from high post and low. Very much how Draymond Green runs Warriors O a ton.
Likely to be 30+ games out of WC 1st by end of season, 20+ games out of top four, 15+ games out of top 6 (and avoiding the play-in), 10 games out of 8th. Yep, there is quite a gap there. A gulf. A canyon. As the late, great Stephen Hawking would say, “It is a void.”
I think that pedestrian moves could have this team sniffing .500, but that’s where it would cap out.
Small sample size, but Fox/Sabs seem to fit better than Fox/Hali. There just isn’t the redundancy that we had with Fox/Hali. Over the haul of the season, I think that this would equate to a few more wins, maybe nudging the current team closer to 34-35 wins. The right coach, adding a good rookie and filling a need in a Holmes trade, and a full camp maybe gets you at least a little closer to 40 wins. But then what?
Sabonis will have two years left on his contract after this season, so the meter is running. And at some point Fox will have had enough of this losing environment.
The Kings will need, at the very least, a third cog the equivalent of Fox and Sabs to really ascend to the next level. They don’t have the cap space to simply add that player. Would Barnes and a pick for John Collins get it done? I don’t know. Seems unlikely.
It appears that we are once again counting on beating the ping pong ball odds. Absent of that, I’m not sure how this team moves forward in the long term.
Make no mistake – I think that this team will be vastly more entertaining next year, and I think that there is a reasonable path to flirting with .500. I’m just not sure where the organization goes from there. I suppose that flirting with a .500 season buys you another season, at which time the Kings pick up some viable cap space (and a lot of roster vacancies). I’m engaged and somewhat enthused to see this team next season, but I still don’t see a 50 win season on the horizon, which for me is the sign of accomplishment and achieving NBA relevance.
Still a lot of work to be done.
I like Collins but he can’t play defense. Washington is more gettable and can even play a small ball center. I don,t know if Washington is a stud but could play very well alongside Sabonis. As I stated above we need a really good point guard to handle the starting backups. He can shoot and play defense. This would be Jalen Brunson. By the way is also another Villinova player. I like Villinova players.
I like Washington, but I don’t think that he is that 3rd upper end player. He is potentially a nice complementary piece, but you would still need a significant upgrade to the top end of the roster. But if he could be had for (say) Holmes, I’m in.
I think that Brunson has played his way into a nice contract next year, north of the MLE, which means that the Kings as currently constructed would not be able to afford him.
I’m really not sure there is a single move that Monte could make that would turn this team around next season. Collins is a possible exception, but it would take Barnes and pick at minimum to get him, which still leaves a lot of holes on the roster and no cap space to remedy things.
Honestly, outside of the Kings landing a top 3 pick in this year’s lottery, I feel may be looking at slight to moderate improvement next season. The problem with that is the clock is ticking on Sabonis and Fox.
The Curse is real. It seems our range is bad to slightly-mediocre to mediocre-at-best for years to come
Championship is unlikely with the 67 year old chairman. I googled “average life expectancy u.s. male 2022” and it is 78 years old.
Looks like this 63 year old will just have to be satisfied with the SF Giants championships.
Sorry did not mean to sound macabre-like. Miracles do happen and curses get lifted, we just need plenty of help, luck and a little magic
No offense taken. I’m resigned to the fact that I’m not seeing a title in my lifetime. Hell, I’d be happy with some 50 win seasons at this point.
I will buy everyone here at TKH a drink on our first 50 win season. Mark it down boys 🙂
I don’t think Fox should be considered unless you could get someody like Dejuante Murray or Damion Lillard. L still think Holmes, Barnes and some of our role players could get some talent and not trade Fox, Mitchell, Sabonis or DDV. I like PJ Washington as a starter and Jalen Brunson as a backup point guard on the second unit.
They definitely need a real coach, another player better than Fox, a rim protector and a shooting 4, 3 and everywhere else.
They need a lot. It’s why the play in attempt is fucking idiotic. Their only hope may be the draft.
Hopefully talent is coming. Fox, Sabonis,Barnes(but he’s getting older and maybe past his prime), Mitchell, Jones and possibly DDV. Those 6 have talent but we still need shooting rebounding and defense. We still have trade value in some of our players. Monty is working on getting this. We have to have patience as he did right before the trade deadline.
I’m not sold on anything about Divincenzo or Jones other than both have all the makings of being decent back end of a 10-man rotation kind of players.
For Divincenzo, outside of “spurts of defense” kind of player who can handle the ball in a pinch, I don’t see what else he brings to the table. He’s an OK 4th guard, the way Yogi Farrell was. However, I chuckle every time the TV crew talks about what a great shooter, and an excellent piece, he is who “just needs to get recovered from injury”.
I also don’t see Jones as more than a 4th big who will neither kill you or carry you, but should only be counted on for 10-12 minutes on a winning team.
I like DDV a little more than you – I think that he could be a capable three position player off the bench – kind of a Shaun Livingston – type player. But yeah, he’s the kind of guy that makes a good team better, not the kind of guy that makes a bad team good.
My issue with DiVincenzo is that he’s in his fourth season and has shot the three well in one season over that time. Of course, being Kings fans, we always assume the high point must be the average, and that might happen. But I’m not counting on it, and if he can’t shoot, his impact is likely to be very limited. Good get for trading nothing though.
Really, almost none of the ancillary players ever really matter. Holmes was an exception, so it’s always possible that you land someone like that. But that’s been rare for the Kings. What really matters is what the top of the roster looks like, and this is a sub .500 core, possibly pushed to .500 with the right supporting cast. The Kings need another high level player, full stop.
Agreed.
Fu… fact of the day: OKC, Por, SA and Hou possess 9 of the first 20 picks in this year’s draft. Throw in Memphis and you’re talking 13 of the 30 first round picks.
That means OKC, Por, SA, and Hou will be getting more competitive sooner than later. I predict at least 2 of those 4 teams will surpass the Kings within 2 years.
Two of those four teams are looking down at Sac. already.
A big issue w the Kings seeming lack of a path to getting good, sans great pic, is lack of development and real coaching.
All these other teams have young guys blossoming because they develop them. Simmons, Murray etc.
Fox, Davion etc…..if the Kings didn’t have their head up their ass they’d see player progress.
Kings have a lot of work to do. Tons of questions marks still. Improved Slightly? Sure. What does that look like?
The West is experiencing a transition year with a lot of injuries to key players that shape the West: George, Kawhi, Lillard, Zion, Murray, MPJ, etc.
You’re seeing the rise and growth of both the Wolves and Grizz. The Kings don’t have the talent to be a Top 6 team in the West any time soon. Dubs, Suns, Grizz, Wolves, Nugs, Clips and Jazz are all exponentially better. When those aforementioned teams are at full strength.
The ceiling could be 7-8. If the Kings can get another impact piece and a decent coach.
This current roster is a Sub.500 team.
I don’t know what’s going to happen to Zion or Dame. If they end up staying in the West that would be another formidable opponent for the Kings.
One could also argue that this current team is a sub .400 team.
Changing players in the locker room does not change Fox. There is a reason why Fox is still here and Haliburton is gone. Haliburton is the valuable asset that got the deal done.
Truth. From everything I’ve heard, Fox wasn’t dealt because he wasn’t wanted by Indi etc. Because his price but also because he’s a highly flawed player with a questionable motor.
Fox has to get better or
this team will not get close to playoffs /contenders.
I hope I’m wrong but I have been saying for quite a while (and been roasted for it on here before) that Fox is part of the problem not the solution.
I’ll say this, I think a Fox and Sabonis combo is better than a Fox and Hali combo, and this is also acknowledging that a Hali and Sabonis combo was not a possibility. From that, the Kings got better.
I can see a Fox and Sabonis PnR mid-range combo tearing up teams. If that is the core for Monte, he now needs to add the appropriate ancillary parts. Some 3 and D wings and a rim protector should now be the priority.
This team’s biggest problem is offense, not defense. I’m not claiming they are any good at defense, but the offense is arguably a bigger problem than the defense.
I keep seeing and hearing ‘but scoring isn’t the problem.’ Au contraire, it is too very much a problem.
Coach A (17 games): ORtg 108.9 DRtg 110.9
Coach B (17 games): ORtg 110.6 DRtg 118
Coach A is Luke Walton this season. B of course is Gentry over the last 17 games which dates back to the first game against Houston in Sac in January.
I will not claim that a 111 DRtg is that good, but it’s far better than a 118 DRtg. I think, still think, Walton had a better pulse of this team. I don’t think it’s an accident Buddy Hield really dropped off under Gentry either.
Perhaps Gentry is a better coach than Walton, perhaps not. But I definitely do not think he’s the right coach for this team moving ahead because on offense they just aren’t as good. And it’s not like anyone thought Walton was any great shakes to begin with.
I repeat: This is why coaching changes in season rarely work.
I do not and will not blame Gentry for much of this. After all, he did not fire Walton. It probably came as a directive from the Forever Chaos Agent with 7 degrees of Golden State Warriors anxiety. (I doubt we’ll ever really get confirmation, but the continued ‘I’m not really sure who pulled the trigger nonsense’ is about as close to a confirmation we are likely to get.) And just because Gentry has many fine qualities doesn’t mean he will push the right buttons on this team with this group. I don’t care for either the combinations he’s using or the times he uses them. As James Ham said on TKB last week with Brendan Nunes, pick 8 and roll with it. Searching and this 52 card pickup game is not working. Again, not entirely Gentry’s fault.
A big chunk of this, too, is Fox and his inability, as of now, to adapt his game for the betterment of the team. I thought last night his first half was acceptable, but his 2nd half, particularly the 4th, was atrocious. These cannot continue to be acceptable. But who holds him accountable? Other than himself?
As I’ve said since the trade was made, they’ve come a ways and have a ways to go. And it’s entirely contingent on Fox and Sabonis pairing well, adding that 3rd piece, a new head coach, and if we are stripping this thing to its essence, giving the right people controls of the good ship Sacramento Kings.
We will likely continue to see games like last night because smart teams realize this roster is both unfamiliar with each other and there is a bunch of tight fits in key roles. Which makes for alot of crappy basketball.
But if I’m hopeful, it’s that De’Aaron Fox can find a rhythm and be the offensive force he’s capable of. Sabonis and Fox need to find rhythm throughout the game, not just when they are on the same side of the court.
Sure that didn’t happen last night. I wasn’t really expecting it would. But for all this to work, De’Aaron Fox had better get it together. That’s the bottom line of all this. Because if he can’t, that 30 cents on the dollar trade is probably happening. And there’s not much to be hopeful for if that’s the case.
Maybe I missed the explanation between all the words and my less than perfect grasp of the English language, but why is the offense a bigger problem than the defense?
I don’t see it.
Agree, It is defense as the one consistent major team weakness ! When you are awful on defense it’s puts tremendous pressure on the offense ! Last nite perfect evidence !
Simply put, this is not a good offensive team. There are no real strengths to be relied upon as of now. You have an offensive tilting coach, an offensive tilting squad, and your best players are most valuable on the offensive side of the ball.
And this team looks flat out awful for very long stretches with Sabonis and Fox on the floor, and off.
How can you build a team with no strengths?
How dare you question the self proclaimed Kings Guru and his verbal diarrhea. Of course the offense is the issue! We play great defense, top notch!!
This seems uncalled for.
Perhaps I should stick to the tried and true talking points. That might make me more popular, eh?
I agree.
Lighten up Francis. I’m sure the self proclaimed Guru will set me straight.
Not me. I’m a pussycat. But I’m sure Warren Oates would like a word.
Rail on, anonymous keyboard warrior.
This seems uncalled for.
He was actually ordained as the 21st Kings Guru.
I see both. Offense has its variables but defense is constant. Offense wins games but defense wins championships.Obiously we need both. We have scorers but only Fox and Sabonis.Barnes is a variable. He needs to bring it every night.Mitchell I like. One of the best on ball defenders in the league but on offense he is a variable. The rest of the team can’t score when its is needed. Look at last night. We were with a point or two the whole first half and could’t get over the hump.Our three point shooting is terrible and believe it or not Fox is shooting better than most of the players on the team. What’s that telling you. We need offense but it starts with defense. Monty is trying to get players who play defense. Mitchell,Holiday, DDV, and Lamb. He traded for Sabonis to be the offense with scoring and passing. Yes we need a third player either at the wing or power forward who can score but also play defense. I believe Monty will get it done although he doesn’t have much to work with. I also believe we need a coach that understands players but can also run an offense and defense. It might take a coach out of the college ranks who could bring in and air of fresh air. I know Jay Wright would’t leave Villinova but their are others that might.
Wasn’t Doug Christie supposed to help with the defense? If that is the case, I’m not seeing it. This team needs a defensive culture and identity to establish or it won’t matter what picks or guys you bring in. If Fox can be dealt this offseason, they need to do it. He’s mentally checked out. Yes he gets numbers, but they’re empty calories and we don’t have the time for it. Sabonis is on the clock and if he doesn’t get whiff of something positive happening here, he’ll bolt and then we won’t have to try to tank to be a bottom 3-4 team, we’ll just be one out of sheer incompetence.
I have seen Fox improve on his defense since the trade deadline. Or a little before
