Every good player on the opposing team is taking the rest instead of playing the Kings. The Kings are bringing everything they have and rotating coaches in desperation. Hard to beat the competitions resting line up.
Same starting 5, probably going to see a similar result
Rich Paul still won’t let Keon play.
Too bad Kyrie does not want to spend five minutes showing Fox how to play the point. His shoulder must really be hurt.
For some reason I think Fox goes for 25+ and less than ten assists. The outcome of that is predictable.
I don’t knownifbthe Sacramento Kings could beat the Stockton Kings at this point.
The Kings can start to turn it around tonight! Amirite? Lol. Kidding, it doesn’t really matter.
Kings are 4-8 since Monk was named a starter. It’s not working out too well (not blaming him, just facts)
I still don’t understand why the move was even made.
Me either. So far, it’s a bust.
Brown tried to save the season by making the move. He thought he had to get the offense going. But defense was more important, which means start and play Keon more.
At least Doug was part of the glory years, amiright?
So was Vlade.
Switching between this horror show and the Niners. The Kings are making the Niners’ season seem downright pleasant.
This Kings team is unwatchable except to giggle at the preposterous losses and hope for a shot at Flagg.
Held them to less than 40–PROGRESS!
Doug said pre-game “we need to fix the defense”. If Keon keeps playing 14 minutes per game, then it’s lip service.
yeah, Kings are tanking. have you started looking at the draft prospects?
I have done a little. Egor Demin looks nice. Kings need a bigger wing/guard that can be a lead distributor.
I’ll take a look
Sam Vecenie had a YouTube video where he broke down the tape. Processes the game very quickly, passes are right where they need to be for shooters.
saw the first 12 minutes during halftime. passes like Giddey? not a bad start. will watch the rest later.
Egor Demin
Kings have a mismatch on fast break and Fox chucks/bricks a three when they could have hit Dallas with an easy 2.
Kings might as well acquire Ben Simmons and let him jack 8 threes per game.
just looked at the box score – woo that 3pt % is ugly for the Kangz. As is the 2pt %. On a positive note, although we have only shot 8 free throws, we’ve made 7!
I don’t get why the Kings switch everything. Not just in the pick and roll, but even if a player at the break goes to the corner and switches with another play. Kings just switch it, and it makes a mismatch for the opponent.
Kings don’t have the personnel to do that.
Brown said it after every game. The players do not run what is asked of them. The players are the same.
Keegan is as big as Kleber but he plays like he has the strength of Spud Webb.
He needs to learn how to use his strength this offseason.
He’d be a very good modern PF if he had some dawg in him.
Modern PF’s he plays against are bigger, faster, and more physical.
He is three that cannot shoot anymore.
He’d have to play tougher but he has the size to do it.
I think he is worn down in many ways. Always playing bigger guys. Always crashing the boards. He is worn down.
He is a three not a four.
Fox straight up for the Mavs back up point guard. He is killing Fox.
Last back to back post, but wow, imagine if the Kings had picked up Washington and Gafford last season.
Dude, right? Ugh.
It’s like watching years of the Warriors winning titles with guys the Kings could have drafted. But Robinson, Jimmer, and Tyreke were all such great players, too.
Yep. I did that too.
High probability that Sabonis earns another triple double in a loss. We have to stop wasting his contributions to this team.
I like the idea of trading Fox for the Dallas bench. They are beating our best players.
How many more games before Duece gets tired of repeating himself.
Hopefully it ends.
Domantas have zero free throw attempts
The NBA has figured out that they don’t need to guard Keegan.
Just keep him in front of you and he’ll play soft. Imagine him doing that on a Popovich coached team.
Refs are done listening to this team cry. Not earning wins and complaining takes it toll in many areas.
You must be watching LukaDončić play
When did he play?
The Kings are clearly pushing it to the limit but they just don’t have quite enough.
Keon. Defense leads to offense
Hey this Keon Ellis guy is a pretty good defender!
We might have discovered a diamond in the rough. Who even IS that guy?
The whole world can see Keon defense, except coaching staff
I’m stupefied by it.
Keon and Devin Carter should be fun to watch playing defense together
I think Keon and Trey still care.
Signs of life tonight folks!
Can DeMar sit rest of game?
Seems like a good idea.
What a crazy up and down game. Keon energy. Just don’t have a 10 point lead with 4 to go.
Derozan sat at about 9 min mark 3rd and game turned. Defense wins?
Who would have thought that if you have your best defenders on the court, the defense would be better?
Defensive energy is different with Keon
DeRozan comes in and the offense slows to a snails pace.
Damn, we needed that one.
A much needed win. Hoping for some carry over.
Light the mf’ing beam
