So I have to wonder how this affects the calculus with Fox. Instead of nervously fretting over whether he'll stay, the better question may be "What can we expect to get from you if we keep you??" 
He's smiling pretty easy on the sidelines lately.
What a win, I mean people will run out of excuses to justify the Kings undefeated run, against half Sixers, half Mavericks, Heat without Butler, Grizzlies without Morant, Warriors without Kuminga, while the Kings were missing Fox or Keegan before that but it wasn't worth to mention it.
Kings seem to improve in every single game with DC as a coach, I don't know if it's him or the departure of our former coach or a combination of both that changed the momentum, but we have been "fixing" many issues that we faced across in those tough wins in both offense and defense. Suddenly we are hitting threes, we shoot more threes, we defend the threes better, we don't turn the ball over that easily, we don't "blackout" allowing our opponents to have big runs, we respond better after the opponents time out that they usually change their tactics, we are much better in "all the little stuff" "all the details" and for once we have someone standing the whole time over our bench guiding, cheering, calming down the players all 48 freaking minutes, exactly like MB did ONLY in his first year though.
As I wrote some days ago, Christie will call a "happy headache" (we call it like that in Greek) who will be in the starting lineup once all our players will be healthy, could be in the next game at Chicago if Fox is feeling fine.
Regarding Mark Jones, and his thesaurus of words, at least the ones that come from Greek language are spot on and most of them I had no clue that exist in English as well. I think he tries to entertain the audience and even though I can tell that Kyle is a bigger fan of the squad (anybody could tell watching his today in the studio next to Morgan after the match) he doesn't have so much experience and sounds more "flat" using similar quotes and phrases.
Also this was a nice revenge win for the no call foul at Colby last year that the Celtics didn't even care in case they would lose it (we had a huge run with them using reserves the whole time), there were at least a dozen of calls that were for the home side again today, we also got 2-3 (I recall a non call on a foul to Porzingis at some point), but ok we have seen much worse as Kings fans the last couple of years not to mention the ones before that when there was zero respect for us as team.
In another "F*** you Mike Brown" moment yesterday, Sasha scored 45 points in a Euroleague match with 18/20 shots (8/10 3p) and 1/1 free throws. Too bad for him for leaving the NBA, he could have a nice role this season in the Kings if things had gone well or at least the Raptors that don't have so many players in his positions.
