Serge should do an episode on his cooking show about Haliburton’s recently hired personal chef.

 

[PurpleHaze]

To be fair, Fox at least touches the rim on his shots. Mudiay's misses haven't looked great tonight.

Lithuania jet lag.

 

[Tetsujin]

Tyrese gunning for the ugly triple double today (pts/assists/turnovers)

Pressure. Harrison and Buddy have got to help him out here.

 

[Groovygreg]

The Kings need “more alley, less oops”.

 

[Tetsujin]

I mean, he lost his handle trying to dribble around 40-year-old Serge Ibaka.

 

[Groovygreg]

Everything perimeter right now for the Kings.

 

[Tetsujin]

Everything perimeter right now for the Kings.

That's what happens when you're missing one of the best driving guards in the league.

 

[The_Jamal]

Everything perimeter right now for the Kings.

Thus the issue with no Fox. Teams just can't function without a dominant paint collapser

 

[kb02]

Buddy is ice cold

 

[PurpleHaze]

Another deep Buddy brick

 

[PurpleHaze]

1-10 Bud

 

[The_Jamal]

Jesus Buddy

 

[Tetsujin]

But this team looks so much better without Fox, right guys?

 

[PurpleHaze]

Trade Buddy, keep Fox. Duh!

 

[iowamcnabb]

Buddy “maybe that will get him going” Hield

 

[SacTownKid]

We have to see more of HB creating shots for others or himself.

 

[Groovygreg]

But this team looks so much better without Fox, right guys?

This Kings team with Fox = Non-contender

This Kings team without Fox = Non-contender

 

[PurpleHaze]

Kings w/o Fox and Haliburton on the court is like Clipps w/o Kawhi and George

 

[kb02]

But this team looks so much better without Fox, right guys?

You must’ve forgotten some of the games this year with Fox playing with a full squad and the team getting destroyed.

 

[SacTownKid]

This Kings team with Fox = Non-contender

This Kings team without Fox = Non-contender

Well, that's a pretty steep climb anyway considering right now there's like what 2-3 legit contenders maybe based on play/talent? haha. One thing for sure, DC is looking great as a coach so far. So that's something. haha.

 

[Tetsujin]

This Kings team with Fox = Non-contender

This Kings team without Fox = Non-contender

I mean, if being a contender is the only quantifiable thing that matters every night, 26 out of the thirty teams in the league should apparently just fold for the year.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Kings only scored 38 points in the half but at least we shared the ball, right fellas?

non*PLAYOFF* contender in our case.

 

[Groovygreg]

Wow. I think that’s the worst first-half of basketball I’ve seen from the Kings all season.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I really hope some practice will iron out at least some of the kinks in that offense.

 

[SLAB]

We absolutely suck either way, I don’t get the snark. Lol

 

[Tetsujin]

We're only two games in the win column back from the 5th seed lol

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Sam Mitchell: "[Hield]'s playing for the other team, tonight."

 

[Tetsujin]

We absolutely suck either way, I don’t get the snark. Lol

We've thrashed the Clippers pretty much whenever we've seen them though up to this game.
