Well, I’m glad Fox answered my early restlessness

Kings need to get these first quarters in order.

Where did Buddy find 9 points? It feels like he’s missed everything

Okay, I get it. The sky is falling. We doomed. We suck. Etc.

Well, you know what? If we lose these next 5 games, ALL IT MEANS is we're not ready to knock off the top 5 in the West quite yet. We aren't gonna win them all. We aren't as good as the top teams in the league despite how it looks sometimes.

WE'RE A WORK IN PROGRESS. It might be well to remember that.
 
Wow awful start. The way I read it the Kings need to get the lead down below 10 by the end of the third or just sit all the starters and call it a night. Lots of problems out there and put one of the worst is the turn overs.
 
With the way we play I'm not all that worried about this big of a lead at the half. But, I am worried about us consistently getting in a hole like this. You can't always expect yourself to get out of big deficits, especially come playoff time.

We'll be ok tonight if Buddy gets rolling.

Man this is tough, someone needs to lock down Harrell in the 2nd half
I had to read that twice. The first time I thought you said "Someone needs to knock down Harrell." Regardless, that's easier said than done... The Clippers have a wealth of something we do not have - a REAL big with bulk and attitde.

First night of a back to back.
I think Dave’s coaching and worry about back to backs has spread to the team and gets in their head. Looks like now with changes in rotation times and worry about minutes themselves. We are affected on the first game now. This isn’t the Spurs from a few years ago. We are one of the youngest teams in the NBA. I don’t recall so much “coaching” of the back to backs

Dave still playing the starters big minutes. Compare our starters to the Clippers starters
 
I just know one thing going into this second half and it's if we're gonna guard Tobias Harris with Justin Jackson it's over before it started.

Dont mean to throw shade at JJ but Harris is a high caliber scorer and 15 is a big hill to climb.
