Really really nice game by Fox. We won this game because he decided to lock down Steph defensively instead of trying to go mano v mano against probably the best offensive player of all time.
It was winning basketball and being a leader on a winning team.
Well im not sure either but some of the stats out there so far say the Kings aren't as bad as it seems? Opponents have been making an above average clip against contests against the Kings more so at a rate so much higher than every other team somehow, but also there was a stat out there that the Kings are somehow #1 in transition defense? Eye test so far is showing me that it isnt that bad at all.. we've gotten a terrible whistle this season
yes - we supposedly did not give up a single fast break basket to the Cavs the other night, but they were also running a layup line on us. So I don't quite get it. But when things slow down we seem to clamp down but still maintain our potency on the opposite end. Early games being the outliers.
I think most importantly too, both Monk/Huerter are developing awesome 2-man games in the PnR with Sabonis. Monk has an insane assist every game now, mainly feeding Sabonis and Huerter really works well in the DHO stuff and still runs the PnR with him quite well.The early returns on them could not be better, such a home-run swing from Monte.
It's pretty clear to me too that Monk is better suited off the bench. He's a sparkplug that makes the team better when he comes in. Really does remind me of the same energy Bobby J brought to our golden years teams.
Shooter, scorer, put the ball through the basket guy, whatever you want to call it. You will never again see someone shoot the ball like Stephen Curry. He's a once in a lifetime player. He is a phenomenal talent.

he mastered his craft and it started from a young age. I once read that it takes at least 10,000 hours to master your craft in whatever you do so Dell had him shooting jumpers straight out of the womb I'd imagine.

Unfortunately his ego has probably outreached his effectiveness. Yes, dude is good. But now he has taken to flailing on his 3pt shots to try to get more is too much. And on top of that his behavior when he hits shots is very much a put off. If you are winning a championship the shimmy or putting them to sleep is one thing. He's just too much right now this early in the season

It's like everything else: nature and nurture. It helped to have Dell's genes as well as his coaching. The thing that gets me other than his shooting is his incredible stamina. He puts in the work, that's for sure.

Missed the game tonight but I'm thrilled with the result! For some reason "We're getting 40 wins this season!" is what popped into my head when I saw the score. Being back at .500 never felt so good! Let's go!
