Yeah, I think the pouting is going to get into full swing here soon. Brown had a meeting with him and his people after getting hired, that said it all. They clearly wanted guarantees and those are in the trash at this point.
I hadn't heard about the meeting. I wonder what they asked for, from a coach he had not even played for yet?

They did. As usual hit us in the mouth and we were down 9-1 early. But a big change with the Mike Brown Era is we keep fighting and don't just let the game fall away. Such a fun change as a fan to watch
Yeah, they gave us a couple of jabs at the beginning, but no right cross to chops.

Malik Monk a total stud. Might need a change where he's in the starting 5 and move huerter down to the 3. Just adds such a dynamic offensive guy to play off Fox Sabonis.

I'm ready for Metu at the backup 5 full time. His athleticism played super well and he at least keeps out of the paint offensively. Had a few really nice passes too to set up easy shots. He and Lyles are pretty well securing those backup big minutes.

Fox/Sabonis just starting to cook together and it's so fun to watch. They're a hard duo to shut down, especially if we're nailing the drive and kick.
I'd like to see us start the third with Monk, Huerter, and Murray on the floor. Maybe being the guy defenders cheat off of will help reignite Keegan's game offensively.
 
Curry is going to have a lot to say about that percentage in the 2nd half. What does he have? - 20 points off of 7 shots or something absurd like that?
Yea, I wouldn’t put money on the kings. That first half was on pace for team totals (60 for the 1q n 119,50 for the half). Kings took some Of the points assigned to the dubs though, but the pace was as expected.

That part has been clear since day 1.
 
This freaking offense again. You get out what you put in. Just stupid. There's a well full of water and another coach that refuses to drink. Although they have gotten a good look there for Murray.

Neither team is playing up to their full potential, imo. The Kings have yet to have a night where virtually everybody is playing well. Tonight, Murray, Barnes and Mitchell and to some extent Heurter are not impacting the game like they can. If not for Fox, Kings would be in a world of hurt.

I woke up from a nap and turned game on at half. I am sorry folks.
No worries :) We should have seen this coming anyway. Mike Brown continues to show faith in HB which is fair but rarely have I seen an NBA player less interested in playing basketball than Barnes seems to be right now.

I mean, if nothing else, at least from body language it seems like the Ws are also getting a bit lax on him, maybe he can get more room to hit his 3s when we need him to, in the 4th.

to be fair I knew that they started the first off slow from what I gathered on twitter while eating dinner. so I know this isn't my personal viewing jinx but damn. I remember when double digit leads at least took a bit longer to evaporate.
