[Game] 45/82: Kings @ Knicks 25 JAN 2025, 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET

[Tetsujin]

De’Aaron forcing Keegan to foul Josh Hart now. The nerve of this guy.

Knicks make one pass and it’s a layup or an open corner three

Games over. Bad coaching on this one

I remember Carmichael Dave had a guest on his show I think it was last week and he said that regarding the winning streak(they were on at the time) he didn't think it was Doug's coaching as it must as it was the change just shaking the team up. So maybe he was right. Sometimes players feel guilty and start giving 150% in the beginning after a coaching change, and then the effort starts to wane and a few weeks later they are back to where they started..

It's both. The Kings aren't winning 9 out of 10 just because a coach was fired haha. The coaches did change up the defensive philosophy. That's fact.

Lets give fox his super max guys. He's trying his hardest. You should be happy he blessed us with his presence today. Everyone who says anything bad about the chosen one should be banished!

 

[TaxMan]

Time to yank the starters Doug

 

[BenchMob]

We are too soft

 

[SacTownKid]

Time to yank the starters Doug

Yeah, stop trying to pretty up a butt whooping. This is literally the type of thing that ends up costing you games against weaker but fresher competition on trips like this.

 

[Angelo127]

The Knicks didn't even play that great

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Leon Rose has done a very good job of building a team that reflects the identity of their head coach. And it's a good thing that those boys are made out of iron, too, because Thibs ain't gonna rest them at all.

 

[Tetsujin]

I see it took exactly one game for Kings fans to revert back to factory settings (existential meltdown) lol

It was the substitution and putting in the right guys on the court. Right now, the Kings always lose when the play teams with lengthy guy. The Kings just don't have enough guys that can help play interior defense.

What a clutch 3 by fox!

(The Knicks remain better without KAT on the floor though)

Doesn’t look like this is the King’s night, I hope the players hate losing two in a row as much as Dougie does.

Played teams missing players as well

You really are a bit insufferable

 

[TaxMan]

Defense back to being a problem. Once again give up a huge first quarter. We seem to be falling back into old habits. I counted these first two games on the road trip as losses but not feeling good about how they are back to playing very up and down/streaky.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

What a clutch 3 by fox!

You should take the rest of the night off.

 

[SacTownKid]

Keegan ends up playing 40 minutes in a game that was in jeopardy for like a 10 minutes of total game time. Christie showing some rookie coach vibes the last 2.

I was told last game it’s not a length issue but a back to back issue lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Thibs playing his starters for some reason lmao

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

These were gonna be tough games. Let's get Brooklyn.

You're right, everyone who's critical of Fox gets banned. That's why you've seen so little criticism of Fox in this thread.

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

The way the Kings are playing, think I have to change my road prediction from 3-3 to 2-4 or perhaps 1-5 if we don't make some drastic improvements. but still think we can go 2-4

 

[Rob-The-Great]

I'm working on myself. That's not nice white chocolate, was just calling it like I see it

 

[Tetsujin]

Fairly certain we’ve never won a game with Hassan Minhaj in attendance

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Thibs put Sawfty back in for garbage time? Man, I don't wish injuries on players, but I sure wish I believed in karma right now.

So only tejusin can be sarcastic sir?
