And send Ramon Sessions home. I've never been huge on Ray McCallum, but he doesn't actively hurt the team every time he touches the ball.

Definitely a lot to learn after this game. I hope Malone takes the proper steps and rematches this game with the whole team. They can learn a lot from this game. Great learning experience.

This is discouraging. I think we came in and thought this was going to be easy and we are nowhere near good enough to think like that. I was hoping we were past losing to bad teams.

He's playing too much individual ball and not enough team ball. His ball handling skills are obsolete when he's put under pressure.

Let's not exclude the rest of the bench from blame here. Nik,Reggie, and Carl didn't exactly have their best games either.

Carl mostly did fine. The problem was the zone defense. Can't make entry passes, can't get inside. You need shooting and penetration. Casspi was the only guy even trying to put the ball on the floor in the second unit.

Usually we're the bad 1-5 team that has a spark of pride and beats the 5-1 team behind a good crowd. Feels weird to have the situation switched.

No one to really call out for this loss, honestly. Make a few more 3's and you win, even when it's 8 on 5 most of the game.

There is absolutely NOTHING to learn from this game.

The Kings quite clearly did not want to win this game.
Anyone can see how they treated the 4th quarter, leaving their backups in an incredible amount of time, letting the clock tick down, only putting in their starters when it became obvious they were throwing the game if they didn't.

When the starters finally came back in, I looked at their faces and body language, and they were not looking forward to having to go in and lose the game. It was clear to anyone who watched this game that the Kings did not want to win.

What I'd like to see moving forward:

The removal of Ramon Sessions from the Sacramento Kings.
More post touches for DMC.
No more Stauskas until he's capable of stopping his man 50% of the time.
