Go Kings!
Fucking zebras 8 vs 5 today
Basically. Domas getting hacked, then hooked by Brunson on the defensive. It’s atrocious.
I know it’s early but Fox is already looking like a liability.
McBuckets!
Choosing between Huerter and McDermott is a lose-lose situation.
Domas keeps getting beat up down low with no calls. Crazy the lack of respect he gets from the refs.
38 point 1st quarter for the Knicks. Why do the Kings struggle so much in the 1st?
They leave their all nba defensive talent on the bench in order to quadruple down on offense with monk, it’s asinine
The Kings aren’t winning this game with Fox on the floor.
Smoking layups, can’t handle the ball well.
I hope I’m wrong, but I doubt it.
Are there special rules at MSG?
Brunson just blatantly pushed/hits defenders when he has the ball. It’s like he’s throwing jabs out there and it’s never called.
Kings legend KH is in
Another game, another 0-fer at the half.
These refs are something else.
Kings legend KH with the assist, but later ignored by Monk for open 3
Would you pass it to KH for a 3pt shot?
Yes, I would.
He’s my teammate. If he’s open, that’s what you’re supposed to do. Even if he’s struggling mightily. He’s still open and a teammate playing with you.
Well the confidence by his teamate in KH to shoot well isn’t there.
Passing to the open teamateigjt be the right play, but Monk and Sabonis were cooking.
oh I agree what you’re saying. Was just saying I would pass. Good game for monk to go off for 40 and Sabonis a 30. Let’s go Kings!
Just tuned in and we lost the challenge and Hart got an and 1. Sorry everyone
One of the advantages of having this many dangerous weapons is one of them is bound to work on any given night
Let’s go Kings! Keep it up!
What in the heck is Keegan doing going 15 feet under the pick?
KAT just elbowed Sabonis after that make.
MSG rules. Play on
Was that a zone or is everyone just falling asleep on their assignments?
The over helping on the weak side is awful. Just open corner 3s all game.
Malik might have to go for 50 tonight
Holy shit you’re just actually not allowed to touch Brunson
Also holy shit we can’t get a 3 vs 1 defensive rebound against Hart
Thankf the heavens for Domas Sabonis!
It’s one step forward, two steps back
Brunson needs a hard foul or make him run into a tough screen. He’s just too comfortable out there.
Terrible officiating tonight. Brunson is an NBA official endorsed All Star. Ridiculous…
terrible call by the refs on the Brunson three. Brunson landed well inside the arc and kicked his left leg forward at the last second. three free throws and now he’s the hot shooter.
Fox 2-12. He just hasn’t shot well in the several games.
I wish he’d stop shooting threes.
I wish he would stop shooting. That hand must have gotten worse.
Fox’s offense and McBuckets’ defense…face palm.
Are you kidding me? An open layup with 5 seconds left? No contestation? Get out of here and sit Fox while you’re at it. The Kings beat Boston without Fox and he’s losing the game for them tonight.
I wish they would sit Fox just so you would be quiet about him. Constantly mentioning him like a scorned ex lover.
Me too. No need for personal attacks. Just disagree.
The problem is whenever somebody disagrees with you you call it a personal attack…
I just wish he was healthy so he would be playing better. That finger is causing problems.
Same. But right now he’s a liability. The Kings have a better chance if he sits.
Definitely agree, with you. We all know the reason why he won’t sit, but if he’s not 100% then he’s not helping us.
At this point, All-NBA isn’t going to happen for Fox. It seems to be more about being competitive now. He’s a tough player, but he isn’t helping much the past 4 or 5 games (other than those free throws a couple games ago)
Are we usually this terrible at rebounding?
Josh Hart is an amazing rebounding guard
Yeah, but Bridges too?
Is there a stoppage or NBA.com just not updating?
Stoppage, Anunoby dunked to hard and screwed up the rim
thank you
10 minutes to get a level and a ladder.
Sounds like many a general contractor…
Would be a bold move to trade Fox. But could have a Monta Ellis effect depending on returning pieces
The rim was moves off-center, so they need to correct it.
Sigh.. trading twos for threes again.
This team needs to hit three-pointers more regularly and stop the opposition from doing so. Have they considered this?
Yeah, defense is terrible in effort and execution tonight. Dead coach bounce might’ve just been longer than usual
Can’t keep getting down big early and expect to win. It’s been a trend most of the season. Need to find a way to come out with more urgency.
Mindset and/or personnel to the start the game needs to change.
maybe try one of thw best analytical lineups of fox/keon to start…
Fox has taken almost as many shots as DeRozan and Murray combined. Fox’s 17 shot attempts could have been made up elsewhere. Just sayin’ the Kings would have been better without him tonight.
Has Fox done anything well outside of scoring, or is Doug just afraid of not giving him his usual minutes?
1 reb, 4 ast, 2 stl…
Nope. Second place in shot attempts by one and has gone 6/20.
what do the refs have against Keegan today?
18 points down, 5:30 left. Not looking good
Needed Dougie McD in earlier for a comeback attempt
I don’t mind seeing if Fox can go and make a game out of it, but 20 shot attempts is not acceptable. That’s second behind Monk with 21. Murray and DeRozan are at 12 and Sabonis is at 14. Only 4 for Ellis.
Nothing quite like having your $17m SG playing poorly in garbage time.
How could there possibly be a market for him?
Easier to stomach the bricks in blowout garbage minutes, for sure.
I’d be happy if the Kings could get any return for him.
Remember when Keegan scored something like 46 in a game?
I don’t think we’ll ever see that again the way the roster is setup.
if they could run him off down-screens or around double-screens, I wouldn’t mind seeing him shooting 10-15 threes per game. We have seen he can make them when his confidence is there.
Let Fox get 10 assists per game and have 43% Keon and Keegan gat more open good looks.
Keon would need to play more than 15 min…i flat out do not get him not playing 25-30, it’s bananas
Aside from Keon, the bench is entirely too inconsistent. Monte might have to give up an unprotected 1st to actually obtain help. Or be willing to trade Devin Carter. I don’t know, something has to give. Against teams like the Nuggets and the Knicks poor bench play will get you buried. As seen the past two nights. Schedule doesn’t get easier either.
