48/82: Kings @ Thunder 01 FEB 2025, 5pm PT/8pm ET

People in here down talking short guards yet defending every reasoning why we should have built around a short guard better. Witch is is

 

[Showtime]

So you're telling me Fox is leaving because they fired Brown after a horrific start that turned around immediately after they fired him. Ok smart person.

No, I literally typed "its not what they do but how they do it". So maybe try reading first? His family wants to be closer to home. His team isn't winning. And his organization is lead by clowns. The question was "what more does the franchise need to do?" and my answer is: be grown ups and make better decisions to keep talent.

I’ll be pissed if we reward that idiot with a trade to play with Wemby send him to Toronto for a second I don’t care

 

[SacTownKid]

C'mon boys, get this to 20 so we can get your minutes up to 40 for that last game of a long road trip!

 

[captain bill]

Looks like Huerter maybe tipped that in??

 

[PurpleHaze]

How tall is curry

6'3"but Curry is once in a generation PG talent. Fox is very talented (when he wants to be) but no Curry and neither is he as good as SGA.

 

[Sherds]

98 with 6min to go in the 3rd. Time to go to the beach me thinks

 

[twslam07]

They make absurd excuses and say it’s not that big of a problem check the knicks and denver game thread

Like what excuses in particular?

 

[SacTownKid]

It sounds like he might be fully aware of that, hence why he wants to play with Wemby. Fox is a smart dude. He tried to be the man, the mountain was too tall.

We don’t know the full story but if they told Fox we had a done deal for Collins and it fell through because it meant a first going out but he wouldn’t re-sign the FO made the right call.

Yea I agree

Again, this isn't about a trade falling through. You don't count your chickens before they hatch and tell your players. You put your big boy pants on after firing a coach and have a presser. Things mature organizations do are different than ones without a professional mindset. I'm a Raiders fan, I know.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Keep fighting guys

I'm also a victim of the Raiders #metoo

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Sabonis must be tired. That 3 was way flatter than he's been shooting it

We don’t know which players were told. Again if this came down to telling Fox that we’re making the move but can’t do it without a commitment that’s different than telling the entire team.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

So Carter isn't part of our future plans? 2 min for a 1st round pick just doesn't look good

 

[Sluggah]

Oh, rebounds.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Dort committed two fouls to get that offensive rebound and they didn't call either one, not that it matters.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Kings on track to score 120

 

[Rob-The-Great]

That was terrible rebounding

 

[coolhandluke]

OKC has more than twice the boards than the Kings, 52 to 25. It's insane.

 

[dude12]

Doug Christie is currently ruining Devin Carter

 

[Light it up]

The good news is that they were not likely to win this game, even without distraction. The bad news is....how long is the distraction going to carry over?

yeah, not even mad about the game. Already had this one as a loss. Monk ‘s in my fantasy team and already has 40 pts so I’m good lol.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

There 6-3 guard has 10 boards.

We got a 6-3 guard that rebounds riding the pine

 

[twslam07]

We have 18 defensive rebounds and they have 18 offensive rebounds…insane. I wonder how rare it is for a team to have more offensive rebounds than the opposing teams defensive rebounds.

Absolutely disgraceful

Selfish

It's obvious there isn't much a solid role for anyone on the bench. Minutes like these are the times where you can maybe find something though. Doug can't see past the next minute. This could fall of the rails as quickly as it came back on them. He's not building towards anything now.

 

[The_Jamal]

Missed this one (thankfully by the look of the score), but what a ****ing season man. I seriously don't understand why it's so hard for this franchise to build anything good. I assume we're looking like crap again, lifeless and no energy?

So after the season being over, firing the coach, the team looks fantastic playing under Christie and now we're back in the dumps. This just isn't going to get better if Fox is still here.

Maybe the tank is the plan then, so we keep our pick. Because seriously, what's the solution if Fox is still here past the deadline? Shut him down for surgery?
