[Game] Kings @ Pelicans 2/5/2023 4pm Pacific 7pm Eastern

Alright we have 5 games left before the break. At this point we need to rebuild a little momentum and come back ready to fight. 3-2 or better please

 

[SacTownKid]

Should have been playing Keon Ellis 30 minutes all along

Ideally he's the guy that fills in for TD next year but yeah, he's ready. Can't do that to BoJax though, haha.

 

[NewArena]

Im so disgusted. Way to ruin all of our momentum after that spurs win

DISGUSTING

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Fox is back tomorrow, right? ..... right!?

Right now I'm going to assume Fox is going to be out most of the week. I've seen no birth announcement and I believe Recee's original due date was late February. This is bigger than basketball so I'm just going to take deep breaths.

 

[NewArena]

Im not watching this crap again for a while. Only good thing to look forward to is the fact that our current GM doesn't sit on his hands all day

 

[iowamcnabb]

Jones just said hopefully he would back for one of the two games in Houston. I hope everything is ok with his family.

Congrats to him and hopefully all is well. That's all i can say without breaking this damn keyboard SMH

Im saving this for the Houston games… even without Fox (potentially) you cannot lose to that team.

 

[SacTownKid]

Knowing we know how Monte valued a guy like Domas not picking Sengun was a choice. But we don't need to be this upset about Davion not being Fox. I'm ok if we package him in a deal for a better player, but we're just looking for an obvious target here.

Well and everyone and their mother knew that the Kings biggest mistake was being 1 pick too low lol. Monte wanted Wagner and there was a clear drop in options right where the Kings picked. Sengun is a productive player but if anyone thinks he'd be a slam dunk to have the opportunities here as he does in Houston you're crazy. Monte chose not to rebuild and did it the right way so far.

 

[NewArena]

Thank GOD we play tomorrow so we can kind of forget this one, but ... now we're taking on a Dallas team that's gonna be way better soon. Winnable games all but behind us now. I hope this group is **** embarrassed

 

[fansinceday1]

here’s why some of us are taking this hard. Cause we understand how quick it can all fall apart.
This loss has the kings 1 game ahead of the clips and 3 games out of the 10th spot. It doesn’t take much this year to have us completely out of it.

Definitely not watching either way cuz they don't deserve it right now. I'm super done if they lose that one

I have to figure everything is ok given the mood at Monks birthday deal.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I guarantee Fox is taking this harder than any of y'all.

Yep. Most focused good teams know how to take care of business.

Charlotte game, the Washington game and now this. How long does it take to learn?

True. We could very easily drop out of all playoff contention - like within 10-15 games. You want to see that knowledge register in the faces of the players.

 

[Tetsujin]

I see it only took half a season of not sucking for some of us to become entitled. Impressive.

 

[SacTownKid]

Oh for sure, I agree with you. I'm not sure that version will ever arrive, but I do expect him to hit open shots at an average percentage and on the road he's not even doing that

Yeah it might not, especially if Brown doesn't give him some of those sets from his college days. The sooner the Kings find out if that productivity can translate the easier this will be for Monte and/or value of his tradable pieces will increase. Older rookies drafted in the lottery being used a role guys is a hit or miss when it comes to value.

 

[NewArena]

The rest of these players are the ones that need to look in the mirror. No way you fall apart like this

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Yeah but the concern for me is that lack of self creation because this team is going to need it as evidenced by the games without Fox. To be a face up player at some point you have to be able to be a threat off the dribble and not just swing back out once the defense closes out on you. I'd be interested to see how many non assisted pull up jumpers Keegan has made this year.

According to basketball-reference, 75 percent of Murray's 2pt field goals have been assisted, but this statistic does not appear to make the distinction between the type of field goal.

I have faith that this won't happen. I just don't understand why we insist on making it more difficult for ourselves

Geez man. That’s kinda uncalled for.

Im ok with losses but this is gross and reeks of being completely unprepared and lackadaisical

On the bright side it's also showing Monte where things need to be tweaked and now there's time and maybe more than one path to get there.

 

[SLAB]

Definitely not watching either way cuz they don't deserve it right now. I'm super done if they lose that one

Eh, we’ve sat through roughly 16 unwatchable seasons I think we can stomach one more bad loss.

 

[Tetsujin]

Geez man. That’s kinda uncalled for.

Is it though?
A year ago today, the Kings were 20-35 and had just barely managed to beat the tanking Thunder and were literally a day away from trading for Domas and people were somehow more positive then than they are now about a team that is third in the west.

Ironically, this is what many fans claim they want. This is what parity looks like.

 

[fansinceday1]

This is the one game I should have listened to the home telecast. Omg the pels second chair was so damn annoying.
the pels are celebrating like they just made the playoffs.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Geez man. That’s kinda uncalled for.

But is it untrue?

 

[NewArena]

Was just gonna say, only way to make this more of a schedule loss than playing a team on the second night of a b2b is playing a team on the second night of a b2b missing key players!

I might not even check the boxscore today!

The smartest man in here
