At least defensively, this team of Monk, Lavine, DeRozen, Murray and Sabonis appear to be better than Fox, Huerter, Barnes, Murray and Sabonis. I cannot stand Huerter as a starter...my GOD, the inability to prevent driving...the fact that teams are hunting him down for one on one is always annoy me lol.

Still too early to give up on him.

Might be a good idea to send him back to the G league to get more reps if he continues to show nothing on offense though. We got beams to light!

I think a full summer of practices and summer league will do wonders imo

What a special night. This is the second Kings game I’ve been to and the last one was the winning streak the year Cousins had the illness and the coach got fired. Keegan was awesome and so was Monk and Deebo. I thought Sabonis played awesome defense in the paint. Nerve racking win but super fun

Well dang….you just broke the fourth wall. I fully expected to see you with a full on Avatar Na’vi Sabonis head on your body.

so glad to hear you had a great time :)

Didn’t watch the game but another win with the Monk, Keon, Deebo, Murray, Sabonis starting line-up. Keon plays 30 plus minutes and has a second best +7. Would love to see our cumulative record with this starting line-up and Keon playing more than 30 minutes.

too bad we traded for a guard who will send him back to the bench.

The one other thing I noticed at the game tonight is how much of a leader Monk was during breaks or when Minny would go on a run. He might be more of a natural leader than Fox was. Maybe he finds even more of his own voice as the new head of the snake.

yeah. I think the Monk Keon back-court is a winning combination. Have for some time.

Monk has passed the test I think what we’re seeing from him is real Minnesota has NWA/Ant/McDaniels with Gobert protecting the rim and he leads us to a win with 26-8-5

Two ther games vs two good defensive teams without fox

vs Heat: 23-5-6
Vs Celtics: 22-3-8

I wish he could shoot the three better but we could be seeing a Brunson like rise too bad he can’t get the same whistle

I think he will get the wistle sooner or later. The way he acts when he gets contact will translate sonner than later. And he attacks hard. Just don't want him getting hurt.

But he will get the whistle. He tried to finish through contact not avoid and finish. Fox was very skilled at avoiding the contact and still finishing. Monk is not as skilled at avoiding it but good at finishing

Monk is a natural born leader and the heart of this team. He's vocal, positive, energetic and fearless.

Something I can't say about a certain former teammate, who never seemed to be vocal nor motivating to his teammates during games.

Fox leaving may help Monk unlock his full potential and elevate his career, much like when Jalen Brunson got out from under Luka's shadow in NYK.

11 bench points. We have got to get somebody that can score off the bench. I’m glad we will have 5 guys that can score 20-30 because we need at least 3 of them to do it every night.

He's a great communicator. Tonight there was one point when he got on Keon early for passing up a shot.. He spoke so assertively you could clearly hear it through the broadcast but you could tell Keon took no offence to it. Signs of a respected leader
