As much as I like DeMar DeRozan's game, the more I see him on the Kings, the more it seems clear that he isn't a good fit with the rest of this roster. There's only room for one guy who plays like that on a team, and the Kings already have one who's younger and faster.

I like the work so far he's done. You need more than one in playoffs
As a matter of principle, I agree, but the Kings don't appear to be built to get to the playoffs playing that style, so do you accommodate DeRozan during the regular season, and hope that the team figures it out while there's still enough games left in the season, or do you play to the strengths of everyone else, and hope that DeMar doesn't check out mentally?

Very good half. Made a great statement as well. That we don't need Fox to be a superman. We need others involved. Ball movement was superb first half. Hero ball was minimal. Good fist half

Now to keep the pedal down in the 3rd. Fox is basically playing the offball spot tonight again. He stopped even trying to come to the ball at times. Since Monk has been starting Fox has dipped 6 ppg.

Also a good point. I think a lil less hero ball from Monk, Fox, and Derozan will go a long way.

Perhaps Murray isn't that guy and doesn't deserve to be forced into action. Maybe it's too much pressure. I'm all for it, means one less max contract

I've seen this look by him a few times before. Looks like his head is not really in it
You know when you go into something thinking your ish don't stink and everyone around you needs you. Then you look at score and realize these guys can play too feeling. I think he's having that moment.

Perhaps now he can lead instead of dominate his team
