Keon still leads the team in +/- per 36 minutes. He also leads in Net Rating, and it is not even close: 12.3 for Keon Ellis to 8.4 for Domantas Sabonis. Everyone here was talking in preseason about what a great compliment to the starting unit he makes. Too bad Coach Brown and his brain trust...

I am all for lengthening the season by three or four weeks. Same number of games, but no more back-to-backs. Maybe even have a longer all-star break. As for the back injuries, both Sabonis and DeRozan have been playing 36.5 minutes per game. Dial it back a little (pun intended)!

On another site, a fan brought up the question whether playing the 4 instead of the 3 has hurt Murray's development and confidence? I have watched DeRozan every game and he does not play like a power forward. He plays like a small forward. That is Keegan's natural position. Is there too much...

Another important factor, often overlooked in basketball as well as in soccer, is that the referees have a responsibility to protect the players, whether from "cheap shots" or overly aggressive, dangerous play. That goes for everyone, not just the stars. But of course without the stars, the...

Huerter had some good games but is now a team-worst -4.7 per game this season across 13 games. That includes everyone. Some of the three-pointers that missed last night were close, some were not.

You can't watch a player manhandle and throw down the opposing team's star, mute your whistle, and then award that team the winning technical free throw. But they did. The Kings should protest this one. They have 48 hours.

That is with Murray and Ellis tag-teaming him.

It is clear to me that Orlando has studied Sabonis' direct handoff technique. He is not as polished, but he knows what to do.

What was your question, again?

Yes. See my post in the last game thread: https://community.kingsfans.com/threads/kings-vs-jazz-11-16-2024-7pm-pst-10pm-est.99036/page-7#post-1830104

That's my man: Neon Keon!

The Odd Quintet. Still no Keon Ellis among the starters.

Mason apparently can pass the ball, and we need guys who can dribble and distribute, so maybe he does get a chance tonight. I look forward to seeing the "Big O" again tonight (not that he will make anyone forget Oscar Robertson).

There is hope!

Good point. Mason Jones played 36 minutes, as well. He tied Isaac with 22 points. He also 15 (!) assists against 7 turnovers. Colby Jones had a team-high 25 points in 35 minutes. I doubt we will see those three guys tonight. https://www.espn.com/nba-g-league/boxscore/_/gameId/401712307

In the first game against the Hawks in Atlanta, November 1, the Kings came away with a 123-115 win. But Sacramento had all their players available. Tonight, Monk and DeRozan remain out and the NBA's most dominant rebounder, Domantas Sabonis, is questionable. Sean Cunningham reports that he...

I always wondered what happened to Landry Fields. I was watching the Toronto Raptors' playoff game when he went leaping into the stands after a loose ball and hurt his back. He never was the same again. But he was one of those guys you always want to have on your team.

Who else?

I have been saying that since preseason. Fox managed to score without much help from anyone, but the only other player remotely as fast is sitting on the bench right now, and the master iso scorer is out, as well.

Fortunately for the Kings, they have three straight days off from competition after Monday night's game. At least one of the three--Monk, DeRozan, or Sabonis--should be fit to play by then. DeRozan and Monk are already listed as out for tomorrow night.
