At some point the Kings have to realize this is a horrible team we are worse than the Pelicans/Timberwolves who have been as banged up and less talented. We are only better than the Warriors right now in the West/
The excuses of refs, injuries, needs more time, wait till player X comes back, schedule, coaching have to stop this is 100% on Vlade and the players who ripped off Sacramento money wise.
I've changed my mind on Bagley we need to keep him at all costs for as long as his rookie contract goes, that way we get the most chance to land a #1 pick in the next 3-4 seasons.

Until they figure it out on defense and play more aggressively, they'll continue to get scored on like tonight and the past several games. When it stops is up to them. Lack of physicallity and lack of communication were the themes of Walton and Bagley in the post-game. At what point do you want to punch back rather than have hugs and kisses after the game?
I must say, I don't expect much from this team anymore. They play and are coached just like their 15-27 record suggests.
However, now that I'm an East Coaster again and working 60+ hours/week, the handful of games I stay up late to watch, I at least expect consistent effort and a competent game plan.
I'm not seeing that. I'm seeing a team far more confused than under Joerger with a fraction of the confidence they had under Joerger and some of the worst chemistry I've seen on a Kings team in years. Which says a lot.
I grew up with this team in the 90's and even though they were poor at times back then, max effort was always there. There was a fight from the team and city. That all seems a distant past. The losing has gone on so long it's accepted. It's tolerated. Within 5 mins of the gam ending the official twitter account of the team was posting about the McGregor fight. Last game the official instagram page of the team trolled the fan base by asking to post your complaints below, then shut off the ability to comment.
It's like this is all a joke to the organization itself. As someone who's spent tens of thousands supporting the team over the years and making countless round trips from the Bay Area to Arco/Sac for games/rallies, the current regime is the biggest slap in the face to similar fans who stuck with the team thru repeated failures.

Well obviously it's not who they are now. But what is is not necessarily what will be. I'd say if you get punched in the face enough you might want to start fighting back. Either that or you better be moving to a different location. The first thing Walton said in the presser was "lack of toughness." He knows what the deal is.
