Refs are mostly horrible in all of the games, across the board. I watched about 10 or 15 full games live, across all different teams. Not a single match goes by without the refs calling something that's obviously wrong/biased and the whole stadium chanting "Ref you suck!". Every game.
The only thing NBA had said was "The refs will be determined by these reports if they will get the big payday Playoffs matches". So I guess the NBA regular season is so pointless that they are beta-testing horrible refs in the regular season like the video game industry pushing unfinished games out and letting the players beta-test for them.

It's amazing how much criticism Brown is taking by people who did not want him here for little things when I've yet to see this team give up on a game yet this season. The players ARE hustling and playing D and getting in people's faces and contesting every shot. His adjustments ARE working. And despite taking early timeouts he had more than Orlando did for most of the second half.
The team is incomplete but it's really only committed to two players plus Murray right now. And we have Monk and Huerter for a while. Plenty to grow on if Monte continues to draft well and make a decent trade here and there that doesn't mortgage the future. Hopefully Vivek the wildcard doesn't screw that up.

so it may not be popular but I will say it….
it was a poorly played game for much of the game. Playing another lottery team close and hitting a prayer to win against another lottery team is kind of quintessentially Kings game we have seen for the past 10 years.
if our team were all under our 3rd year in the NBA I might feel differently. To me this game isn’t much to celebrate.

I went from Kyle Williams muff fury to jubilation in the space of 5 seconds after they got the steal and tie…then Fox hit the three. Kings were fortunate that Orlando can’t shoot or handle the ball. 4-23 from deep and 18 turnovers.
Big game for the bench. Or particularly Lyles and Monk brought it. Metu had a strong not in the box score game since the Kings seem to play well with him on the floor. TD played well. Davion quiet offensively but played good defense on Wagner and Suggs in his minutes. Holmes got the doghouse after 5 minutes in this one.
Excellent games from Fox and Domas. Not much to say. Domas carted the team through the first half when nobody else was doing anything and Fox took over the second half.
Weird game for Huerter. Seemed bothered by the length. It looked like he turning down some good looks in the first half and Hampton in particular was giving him problems. He was key to the comeback though since I think he scored all his points in that third quarter run.
pretty lousy road trip for Keegan. Cold shooting but worse doesn’t seem involved these last two games. He was cold in Charlotte but he was involved.
weak game by Barnes but good to finally see him hit an open three.
Just hope our starting lineup can finally start clicking at once instead of all this uneven production. Kings need more balance and that is where Barnes and Keegan need to be better.

This puts it in perspective. They've won 3 of their last 4 and the only loss came on a shot that shouldn't have counted. The next 5 games will tell us a lot. GS is reeling with 5 straight losses, the Nets and Lakers are the two most dysfunctional franchises in the league right now, and Cleveland is 7-1 but has yet to face a Western conference opponent. There's a chance to build some momentum here.
For better or worse, feels like Mike Brown is saving the Fox/Domas two man stuff for emergency cases as he tries to get the team to buy into his system. Whether that pays off or not is yet to be determined but it was nice seeing that he at least has it in his playbook during that third quarter comeback.
Ahhhhh, the labels. Gotta love them. He has an opposing view, isn't that allowed on an opinion forum?
I don't think Fox makes guys around him better. I think we traded away the wrong guy. So what? Does that opinion directly effect you? Just cause the kings beat a bad orlando team doesn't mean we shouldn't be allowed or shamed from addressing the many issues that probably should have lost us the game? If everyone agrees that makes a bad team forum, IMO.........

That's why somebody needs to get him up to speed on the last few seasons and the results while realizing this molehill has a mountain of pressure behind it. In an even tougher west most likely the margin for error is even slimmer. It's still too early and tanking has yet to begin but with the Blazers improving, the Jazz not going away, and the Lakers still having LeBron. Counting on the late stage failure of others hasn't worked the last few seasons and might really not work this year. Dig a hole this time and there might be an owner looking for shovel.
