Not sure why the Kings are running iso sets with their motion shooters and Domas lineup but it also doesn’t matter because the Kings are missing every single shot they take anyways.

Indiana is an offense-first team and Coach Brown played some of his worst defenders big minutes today while Keon and the Jones boys were all glued to the bench until the game was out of reach. I don't agree with his rotation decisions today. Letting Indiana get rolling in the third primarily against our bench guys was a big mistake.
 
This is another game where the other team is specifically targeting Monk in pick and roll. Maybe going "all offense" is indeed a bad idea. The Kings give up the corner, we know that, but you can't give up the lane like that on almost every play because you'll get stomped inside or out.

He saw McBuckets and Lyles get killed on the switch for like five straight minutes and didn’t even bother trying to switch things up or at the very least try changing coverages. I don’t know if the team has quit on Mike but for the first time it felt like Mike has quit on this team.
