Too late for that, I fear. All those games where Huerter was out and Monk never got the call...

Malik is one of three finalists for the John Havlicek Award, together with Naz Reid and Bobby Portis. The latter two have the advantage of still playing right now.

Tell that to Domantas Sabonis, who said, “We better keep him. I think there’s no excuse. I’ll talk to Monte (McNair) and Vivek (Ranadivé). We’ve got to keep him. He’s a big piece for us moving forward.”

Now that you mention it, Gary Harris averaged 1.6 assists and Jalen Suggs 2.7. That is abysmal. Even Cole Anthony averaged only 2.9.

Great interviews with Malik Monk, Coach Calipari, and a little bit of De'Aaron Fox: https://www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/nba/sacramento-kings/malik-monk-nba-free-agency-career/1727274/ Yes, the Charlotte Hornets treated Monk just as poorly as he claims. Four years for a #11 pick and only one...

Vezenkov shot a respectable 37.5% from deep, better than Fox, Mitchell, Huerter, Murray, and Monk, in that order. He also shot 76.9% at the rim.

Fox knows it may be time to part ways, depending on the market for his friend's services: “I’m happy for him regardless if he’s with us or if he isn’t. He knows that,” Fox said. “But at the end of the day, this is a business. You can only play basketball for so long.”...

Sabonis played like a warrior. Too bad that, in Monk's absence, there was no one to run the pick-and-roll with him. I counted not a single one against New Orleans. Perhaps the team should have Malik, or someone like Steve Nash, give a master class in how to run the pick-and-roll. It would...

Sasha played well tonight. He can provide value to this team if the head coach will ever give him enough minutes to get in a rhythm.

Lots of negativity here. Please explain to me the Kings' defensive strategy, because I can't figure it out. They played strict man-to-man until late in the second quarter, but the same guys were not always guarding the same opponent. I think three different men were on McCollum. Same for...

That was the halftime score in the Chicago-Miami game going on right now: 37-47. Hard to believe that Chicago could not even muster 40.

It would be nice if the Kings could hold New Orleans to 37, or even 47 points in the first half.

I am looking at the Pelicans' depth chart. Will Herb Jones move to power forward, and Trey Murphy start at shooting guard? Also, is CJ McCollum more of a combo guard than a true point guard? As I posted early in the thread, he averages 4.6 assists per game, below the average of 5.6 for...

The coaches have had three days to come up with a better plan against New Orleans--and lots of tape to watch, telling them what not to do. They should have not only a plan A but a plan B and perhaps desperation plan C to throw at the Pelicans. As many posts have suggested, what they do will be...

Edwards does have one of the lowest defensive ratings since the All-Star break, but he has only averaged 5.4 minutes per game. He will play no more than five minutes to spell whoever is guarding Ingram, if at all, is my guess. I do expect to see Murray on Ingram, unless Coach Brown calls an...

I am a little concerned that Sabonis did not make any shots that were not around the basket in the past two games. He has to sink a couple of mid-range jumpers to keep Valančiūnas honest. Another concern is the skill with which New Orleans sets picks for CJ McCollum. Somehow, the Kings have...

Put Davion on Jose Alvarado. That guy is like the Energizer Bunny when he plays the Kings. He had 7 assists and 10 points against the Lakers, +10 overall, and very similar numbers against us on April 11, except +17. https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401585798

Our starters all played 34-39 minutes last night. Thank goodness they have two days off in between games. Mike Brown shortened the rotation to eight men, with Lyles and Mitchell logging 19 and 17 minutes, respectively. Len played only 9. I wonder if McGee might be helpful against Jonas...

Interview with Keon with comments from Fox and Coach Brown. Malik Monk, not surprisingly, is often on his case: https://www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/nba/sacramento-kings/keon-ellis-warriors-postseason-debut/1726155/
